Gen. Early,s Narrow Escape.
(Lynchburg Specially


LySCHBCRo, Oct. General Jubal A.
Early had q narrow escape from death
this evening About 1870 o'clock no came
down Main street and stopped in front of
ono of the buildings (thc Western Union
telegraph ofice) and was giving directions
to several colored workmen who had been
engaged at work removing tho debris,
when all Of sudden, the walls gave away
with tremendous noise, and the General
and u small negro boy were crushed under
an immense pile Of bricks, mortar, and
large timbors.
After fifteen or twenty minutes hard
work his rescucrs heard the Generals
voice under the wreck and ton minutes
later they dragged him out.
The fortunate circumstances that saved
his lifo was that he was standing very
near the door of the building when the
walls gave way, AID some of the timbers
of the door and window stills in falling
forward, supported the immense pile of
ruins so that the General and tho boy
escaped the weight tlat would otherwise
have crushed out their lives.
The Generals face was badly cut, but
otherwise he is not badly hurt, and the
negro boy had only two large bumps
raised on his head by tho falling bricks.

THE DELAY OF FREIGHTs.
Major Bates and MI. Graves are Inter
viewed On the Subject, and Say they
will do all they can to Prevent 1t.

A representative of tho Posi- met Major
Bates, the vice president of the 8. A. & 0.
road, and talked with him in regard to the
delays In the transmission of freight from
Bristol to this point. Major Batos said
that he was not aware of any unreason-
able delay; that his road was o new one
and many difficulties had to be encoun-
tered which do not embarrass an old road.
He asked for specific instances, and the
Posr representative called his attention to
several instances where merchants at
tribute the delay in receiving their goods
to the management of his line. He made
q careful memorandum and said that he
would Investigate them and correct any
such evil if it existed. at 10 not to the
interest of the company" said he, "to
DELAY freight, and if there has been such
DELAY it will be remedied as soon as pos
sible." His attention Yves also called to
the report that his agents at Bristol had
at times refused to receive freight for this
place because they could not deliver it.
BE said he knew of no such cases, and
that it must be an error. Since the inter-
view with Major Bates, the Posi- has re-
ceiyed q number of written statements
from the parties who have such grievances
against the company, and they were duly
forwarded to him for his investigation and
correction.
Mr.. Graves, the freight superintendent,
saws much of the delay is due to the fact
that the E. T., Va. & Go. Go. will not de-
liver less than carload of freight to the
s. Az o. agents, and that they wait until
they can accumulate that much, thus de.
laying fractions Of carload. If this il

IRELAND's FAMINE.
Probability of Great Distress in thai
Afflicted Country, A Plan OF Relief.

New York, Oct. 1.-The Sun tomorrow
will publish an appeal to the people of
America from the American committee for
relief of the fuminc in ireland. The
most trustworthy information from public
and private sources in all parts of Ireland
is to the effect that IL complete failure of
the potato crop makes another great fam
inc in that most unfortunate land practi-
cally inevitable. The point of actual suf-
fcring from hunger has not yet been
reached, but the days of starvation, unless
help comes, are not far off. In the last
great famine in lS7S-'79 the Irish leaders,
Parnell, Dayitt, I'd others who voiced the
country's appeal for food, pledged them
selves never again to appear as suppl
cants before the world on behalf of starry
ing Ireland.
A movement is on foot among the we'll
known men not connected with any Irish
societies or political bodies to bring to the
attention of America the appalling calam-
itv which now threatens Ireland before
actual death from hunger has claimed any
victims. 1t has been decided to organize
under tho name of the American Commit
tee for the Relief of the Famine in Ire
land. 1t is proposed to make its work
cover both North and South America.
The personnel of the American Commit
tee contains the following names:
observation-disclosures Grant Wilson.
Honorary Chairmen-Rutherford Is.
Hayes, Grover Cleveland.
Vice-Chairmen--James Redpath, George
Ehret, Elliott F. Sheppard, James Holmes,
Jr.
Treasurer-The New York Sun.
Secretary-Arthur Dudley Vinton.
The appeal says, the worst fears have
been realized. The potato rot or blight
has spread through all parts of Ireland.
