A PANIC AMONG IoNApARs.
Flames Catch from a GAsoline-stOVe in a
Booth-Templar Onicsrs.

Booth-Ieuplhf OIuCeEes
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
ALEXANDRIA, Va, February 19.-What
came very near being a serious panic oc-
Cured last night IN the fair-room of the
Jonadabs in McBurney's Hall, on King and
Washington streets. The hall in which the
fair is held il on the third floor of the
building, which is a very tall one and has
but one exit, that on Washington street.
By some means gasoline-stove, used In
the kitchen of the supper booth, was
knocked over and IN an instant the booth
was q roaring mass of flames. The room
was crowded at the time with women and
children, and as soon as the cry Of IRE was
raised thew all made q rush for the door
and were soon damned in the narrow hall
way leading to the exit
FEW PAINTING WOMEN.
II was nothing but a kind Providence
that saved terrible loss of life. As it was,
beyond few women fainting no one was
hurt. The fire was soon eXtinguished by
pulling down the booth and smotherinp
the flames, several gentlemen having Their
hands badly burned in their efforts to ex,
tinguish the flames. The FIRE department
were on the ground in very short time
but did not 60 into service.

TIE PROPOSED REVOLUTIONS.

Colonel c.. "some one connected with
the Grand Army of the Republic inquired
what action the camp proposed 70 take.
On this suggestion it was called. At the
meeting there was a decided difference OF
opinion. The first resolutions proposed
would have made Us stultiiy ourselves ana
appear ridiculous both North and South,
and l do not think the resolutions as
passed expressed the honest feeling OF any
of the men there, or at best OF more tnah
one or two; policy alone governed the &C
! tion of the few members present, nine
VOTING for the modified resolutions and
| seven against them. A full meeting, am
| convinced. would have decided adverse TO
anv action. l opposed any action being
| taken by the camp as On organization, as
stit was not our funeral and entirely for
eign To the objects of our organization.
Moreover. | do aot believe that there Is a
Confederate soldier living who honestly
entertains with regard to the character OF
| General w. T. Sherman the sentiments
| which were expressed IN the resolutions OF
| the camp.
BRUTAL MsULTER OF WOMEN.
AS an officer stationed at Fort Moultrie
he had yined and dined with the people
| of South Carolina, yet in the rebellion
record papers he publishes an insulting
| letter he wrote 10 leuy WuOse dVQ uhiu Y
ance he was proud of IN those days; while
his army surrounded her house he stopped
to thus insult her. An instance Is reported
where he permitted a dwelling with the
women of the family living therein to be
| burned by his soldiers after he and his
staff had vacated it. After. he had been
unfortunate as q banker in California
| General Beauregard procured for him the
position of commandsnt of the Louisiana
| Military Academy. He was not too proud
10 accept the pay and emoluments OF tha'
position, yet when he had it in his power
TO Illuminate the people of that State be
seemed 10 delight in throwing bitter inyec.
| tiyes against them il common with the
people of the South; of Mr.. Davis he IN
| yariably spoke with contempt.
| - The Confederate soldiers who have
made this cosmopolitan city their home
have done so TO make a livelihood ano
j should help each other, but in all Other
respects they should not meddle with mat
tiers that do not concern them. Ihisls clear
Iva case in point. General Grants memory
Is held in high esteem by all soldiers Nortt
| and South; the same cannot be said OF
| General Sherman's."

A Tucky Sind.

''Do you see that peculiar-looking
stud that man is wearing on his shirt
front?" said hotel clerk the other day,
pointing to gentleman standing near
by, and on whose expansive bosom was
fastened gold button with a bird in
black enamel upon it, says the San
Francisco Call.
That man is st. Louis drummer.
and he has been wearing that stud for
twenty years to my knowledge" added
the clerk. ut was twenty years ago
that he married a relative of Patrick
Egan, the famous home rule agitator of
Nebraska. Previous to that time GER
tain young business man of Chicago was
also counting her, and among the presents
he once gave her was pair of cuff-but-
tons, of which that stud was one. The
rival saw these buttons one day on the
young lady's cuffs and in jest purloined
one of them and placed it in his shirt
front. When leaving the house after
ward he encountered the Chicago sutton,
who spied the jewel. An explanation
was demanded of the young lady and an
angry scene followed, and the Chi
cago man left in huff. When the St.
Louis drummer called the next time he
proposed and was accepted. After their
marriage his wife told him that had the
Chicago lover proposed first, which he
undoubtedly would have done but for
the cuff-buttOn episode, she would have

Steam vs.. ElCCtrfcifY.

Edison sticks to his assertion that his
new electric motori"will diSplace steam,
if economy as well as speed and safety
is a factor Of locomOti0n" 1t is a broad
assertion, and Thomas A. Edison is per
hapS the only man on the planet who
could make such a speech and command
a respectful hearing or be taken
seriously. He might as we'll have said
that the day of the locomotive is over,
that new era has dawned on the trans
p0rtation world. and that steam locomo-
tives. as freight and passenger movers.
will now be relcgated to the sub ordinate
positions into which they the mselves
forced the canal beat, the broad-tired
fir eight wagon and the stage coach. it
is Edison who says this, and the world
accepts his statement almost without
question, simply desiring to be told
when the change is TO take place.
The man who held the lever on the
first locomotive which ran over an
American railroad still lives. aud ex-
poets to exhibit his ancient machine at
the worlds fair. The steam engine
viii h moves the industrial world, which
put civilization farther ahead in fifty
years time than it ever moved before in
thousand years-can it be possible
that ele ctricity is to drive this mighty
monarch into exile? Well, Edison says
so. Who dares TO contradict him?
