the Store and Warehouse
--Heavy Loss to the Place.
Word was received here yester-
day evening of the burning Of the
depot and store of the Lenoir com
pany at Lenoirs, Tenn. The build.
ing took fire from the sparks thrown
out by an engine. The fire began
about 3 o'clock, and was not long
in doing its work. Ten cars on the
side track were also consumed. A
great deal of the stock and valua-
bles were saved from the building
but the balance was lost with the
buildings. The total loss could not
be ascertained but is placed at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, partly
covered by insurance.
The East Tennessee road was
compelled to put new side track
so as to get their trains past the
burned building and cars. The
burning of these buildings is a Sc
rious loss to the Lenoir company,
also to the E. T. V. & G. r. r., com.
pany for the depot was owned joint.

WASHINGTON, d. G., April, 10,
The President sounded the repub-
lican legislative keynote when he
vetoed a bill appropriating $500, 900
for an addition to u Government

think the addition of pressing neces-
sity. Ahe concluding paragraph OF
his veto MASSAGE was rs fOll0ws:
"The erection of public buildings Is

and convenience, while exDend-
lures for enlarged relief and recog-

nience, but of justice, honor, safety,
and general prosperity" Congress
has already taken the hint which
the Presidents language so plainly
conveys.

or the floor of the Senate that he
thinks it necessary for that body to
have rule similar to that of the
House which authorizes the presi !.

at 81. Johns Hospital. Almost his
last words were: "Let any boy
who smokes cigarettes look at me
now and know how I have suffered,

an exquisite singer, and had many

cite smoking. Some days, he said,
he smoked twenty cigarettes. At
first he kept it from his grapdmOth-
er in ignorance of his indulgence.
As he continued to smoke, the ap-
petite grew upon him with such
force that he could not choke It of,

good and sound and show An
earnest spirit on the part OF
their author to have made such

consideration of the many plans
offered in ISOLATION of the evils
which surround Us the author
shows that it is the best thing
white people can do to co oper-

the legal rights of the negro.
1t is in keeping with his faith

A Remarkable Prophecy.

In August, 1857. the BavsriIn
1Agsmsi.s ZeitmEy printed q re
markabIe prophecy, which had
been made by an old hermit
many years before
In il the rise of Napoleon III
was clearly outlined, as were
also Austro Prussian and the
Franco Prussian vars aud the
Commune of Paris. He told Low
the death of Pope Plus would
occur in 1876 or 1o77, and how
it would be followed by Turko-
Russian War, being bat slightly
wrong in either prediction.
He said that Germany would
have three smperors in one
year, before the end of the cen
fury, which was verified 10 the
letter. He missed it. one at
least, in the number of United
States Presidents that we're 10
die by assassination, which was
remarkably close, TO say the
least.
He said that when the TWEEN
tieth century opened. Nanhat-
tan Island and the whole of New
York City would be submerged
in the waters of the Hudson,
East River and the bay; Cuba
would break In two and the vest
half of the city of Havana ind a
vatery resting place.
Florida and Lower California
are to break loose from the main
land and carry their load of hu-
man freight TO the bottom of
the sea-
The twenty fifth is to be the
last Of the United States Presi
dents, and Ireland is to be a
kingdom and England a repub
lie by the end of the century.
The United States are to be
divided, and San Francisco. Salt
lake City, New Orleans, st.
Louis, Boston aud Washington
are to be made capltols. There
should be some consolation to
the hormons in this, if not to
the other parts Of our great
Union.
To return 20 Europe The end
OF the century viii not ind eth

A board of trustees IS a won
derful creation. IL can comps.
eddy p~erpeirate absurdities OF
which each individual member
is ashamed Take for instance,
the trial of President Cooke for
immortality A young girl wit
ness testified, that President
Cooke Was immoral, because he
had told . Miss b. that the next
year she would be promoted
and get . better salary. When
ssked il she had not been in
structed by one of the teachers
to make that answer, she said
yea As the board had not yet
learned that that was the mean
ing of immortality they, in
terms acquitted him Of shad-
ow Of blame AMI yet in honest
English kicked him out Of his
official position. The use of the
term resignation, il simply an
absurd pretense. The board had
to choose between him and
those who had most vantonly
slAndered him IL vas manifest
Iy Impossible, that there could
be harmonious action in the fa
tEre, between him and them.
The board had TO choose be
tween him and them. Ii retain
ed the accusers with no word OF
censure unless the demand for
their resignation at the end OF
the session could be SO con

Could any one but a board OF
trustees have 50 stultiied itself,
acquIt the accused and reward
the aecusers- As honest men
they could not avoid the conclu
sion that there Was no one &C
eusation against him that had a

board of trustees they could
eOndone the act of the accussrs.
and in addition reward them and
put one Of them in the position
which they had compelled him
