LINCOLN RINK BURNED.

The Explosion of q N0ptha Machine
Sets the Building on Fire-Wniam
Bean Severely Burned-Between
$4,000 and $s, 700 Loss.
Fire broke out at exactly 5:55 yesterday
afternoon in the bicycle and repair shop
Of the Bean & Squires company, which was
located in the north end of Lincoln rink.
This firm have occupied the rink about
seven weeks and have been engaged in
making and repairing bicycles. In brsz,
ing the steel shafts nsptha machine is
used. Compressed air is used to drive the
nsptha flame onto the metal. Last even
ing by accident Mr.. William A. Bean, who
was operating the machine, turned off the
compressed air before he turned off the
naptha flame. Instantly there was an ex-
plosion and the whole place was in flames
in an instant. Thomas Rodman, Clarence
Thompson and Elgin Squires were the
other persons In the shop at the time.
Bean was thrown back against the wall by
the force of the explosion and his clothes
caught fire. The men present took him
out and covered his clothes with snow,
thus extinguishing the flames. He was
quite badly burned about the face.
Mr.. Thompson Immediately ran to the
corner of High and Chapel streets and
pulled the alarm. But the fire depart
ment, though prompt, did not arrive in
time to save the building. for ten minutes
after the fire broke out the roof of the
rink fell in, the place burning like tindezs
There were about twenty machines placed
at the south end of the rink, which were
crushed when the roof fell in. There were
only four machines saved out of the
twenty. Bean places his loss at $500, on
which there is not dollar of insurance
The building was formerly owned by the
New Haven Polo company, aud last fall
passed into the hands of the Olivia
Leavenworth estate. It was considered to
be worth about So, 600, and at present car
ried about $4,000 insurance. Attorney
Newton bad charge of the property.
The building was condemned during the
early part of the winter and the contract
for repairs had been made and work was to
commence as soon as the weather per-
mitted. Mr.. G. H. Hilton rented the build
ing and had just moved his stock valued at
about 81, 800 and consisting of bicycles and
bicycle fixtures into the building and was
to open a riding school as soon as the
necessary repairs were made.
Mr.. Hilton says that there was no in
suranee on his stock. but that a part of it
was not entirely destroyed. The entire
loss ia probably between 81 600 and So, 600
The only part Of the building left stand
ing was the stone wall, which was built up
fewfeet from the ground and formed q
part of the wallis
The Lincoln rink was named after Major
W. A. Lincoln and the many polo games
won and lost there ard the exhibitions
held there, poultry shows, chrysanthe-
mum shows, DR.. Carver's great glass ball
shooting contest, and many other public
performances are we'll remembered by the
public. Several orators have spoken
there, among them Rev. DR.. McGlynn, aud
a number of political campaign rallies
have been held there.

The Postal system for the Public.


We have for years endeavored TO get
Congress or the Post-0ffice Department to
allow postal.cards to pass through the
mails upon which was pasted newspaper
clipping-such. for example. as notice Oh
death. or o marriage, or an accident, OF
an arrival, or any other little item OF news
which the sender might wish to put INTO
the possession of the sendee. There can
be no good reason given for not thus ac-
commodating the public. There are IN
Vulnerable little happenings which persons
in one locality desire their friends IN otner
localities to be possessed OF but whicn
they do not consider impor can't enough 70
Justify them in writing formal letter.
The reform wo ask for would become so
popular Immediately upon being tired that
no congressman would dare to propose 10
do away with il. 1t is not extravagant 10
say that ten millions Of cards communi-
eating the little happenings under con-
sideration would be sent through the maiis
the first year after the adoption OF the new
law or the new regulation. We notice that
among the regulations already in force IN
the Post Office Department is one pro-
yidine that "a printed address-slip may DO
pasted on the address-side." Notice.
"may be pasted on the dddress-s'de, -
which ought never to have word upon IL
except the address. And yet the same
officials who allow this TO be done will not
permit the millions of people who desire
TO do so TO paste on the other side OF
postal. card a notice of q marriage, or
death, or an accident, or an arrival, nor, In
O word, personal" of any sort.
If the Postmaster General could SEQ IN
authorization of the event how many beaux
and bellies would send to their friends the
little personals" which daily appear In
the papers concerning them, he would
not, Pharaoh-like, harden his heart against
the adoption of the postal reform IN ques-
ton, but would relen: at once, and II he
has the power would incorporate said re-
form into his regulations; and If he has
not the power to do that, would recon-
mend the measure to Congress in his first
annual report. Free delivery is not
stronger or more popular than would be
regulation OF law opening the mails to
postals having pasted upon them the mil
lions OF little news-items which persons
cannot now send to their friends through
the mail without elevating the same 70 an

The Funeral Train.

The ladies of the HOLLYWOOD Memorial
Association have suggested that the day
for the reInterment of the remains Of Mr..
DAVIS be postponed from May 3lst to June
3d-his birthday.
Their suggestions always meet with re-
specttul consideration, and we know that
the Davis Monument Association would
defer 10 their wish in this matter il practl-
cable. but it is not.
The funeral train must start from
New Orleans Sunday evening, May 2sth.
That IS all arranged for. Stops will DO
made at Montgomery, Atlanta, and Raleigh
Cor some North Carolina city,, and the
train will reach here Tuesday evening, May
30th. But for these stops 1t would arrive
here on the morning Of the SOth ana the
association would not have to ask the
ladies TO defer Nemorial-Day even one
day. As is. it is seen that the requests
for these stops made by our southern
brethren are reasonable. and it is far bet
ter that we should inconvenience our
selves by changing for this year, and for
this year only. Memoral-Day from May
3Oth to May S1st than disappoint them.
But to keep the body lying in state in
the Capitol at Richmond for four days
would necessitate the detention here Of
the funeral escort from the South for
that time, and would subject Mrs. DAVIS
and oil of her family to wait that would
be painful.
The ladies, kind. good, and thoughtful
as they are, will appreciate this state Of
affairs, and upon reconsideration will, we
doubt not, agree with the DAVIS Mona-
unent Association that the best thing to be
done ia to change Hollywood Memorial
Day from May Soth TO May 51st, when the
reinterment is to take place.

Women In Wartime.

This is the title Of an article from Mrs.
JxrrERsoH DAVIS which appears on the
first page of this issue this morning. 1t Is
q n-picture Of the long ago, drawn by
one whose opportunities for observation
we're exceptionally good and whose ability
as writer 10 conceded.
Mrs. DAvIs's "reminiscences are not so
much of life in the White House of the
Confederacy as of the life that was led by
the average family in the country during
the times when our men we're IN the field.
when the South was encircled by hostile
armies and the women Of the land had to
exercise extraordinary ingenuity and labor
TO find food and clothes for their house
holds.
The women of the South suffered much.
Herolsm could be put to few tests to which
they were not subjected. In the stiffness
of the night they could but think of hus-
bands, fathers, sons, brothers. and sweet
hearts who were absent perhaps never to
return. Many did not return. Nearly So
600 of them lie in Hollywood and lakewood
cemeteries in this city. Many more sleep
in other grounds.
If perchance sleep came to the weary
woman's eyes in those nights when the war
was horrid reality IL might be broken be-
fore morning by the clanking sabres of
Federal raiding psrty-when mother and
children would have TO betake themselves
TO the woods and swamps and there hide
until danger was past. Or IL there we're
no such stirring incident as this the
mother would have to wake from slumber
TO plan how to work old clothing into
new; how TO find substitutes for coffee
and sugar; how TO make medicines out Of
homely herbs--in short, how to sustain
life decently in land cut of from all
other lands and steadily eating itself up.
OF oil of these things Mrs. DAVIS writes.
We need not commend her article to the
attention of our people. amongst whom
she spent four OF the most eventful years
OF her life. All will wish TO read II. as
well because tho subject is an entertaining
one aud sure to'bN well handled as because
the writer Is one of the noblest of our Con-
foderate matrons.

Virginia and the Tariff.

Mr.. Cleveland's inaugural address will have 20
o read with the assistance OF maHnnymy
glasses by persons who desire TO find In II re-
Communication OF the repeal OF the law taxing
State-bank notes.-RiehmORd Dtspdteh.
Tint may be true !; but nobody will have to use
n "magnifying glass" 10 see and tell what tho
Democratic national platform at Chicago last
Juno said about the law taking state-bank
notes" Are we TO stand by the plain pledge OF
the Democratic platform 10 repeal the 10 per
cent. tax on State-bsnk notes or are We not =?
That question Is a most important one to the
Democratic psrty.-LynehbuTg NeT'.
The Chicago platform also declared that
no tariff ought TO be levied except for
revenue. Will the next Congress act upon
that theory? Nay. verify.
We have here in Virginia tobacco trade
which must be protected" Counter
vailing duties must continue to be laid
upon manufactured tobacco coming into
Virginia to be sold, or else there will soon
be no tobacco trade left here. Where Is
the Virginian who would consent to ruin
our tobacco interests in order to maintain
the teachings of the Chicago platform!
And if Virginia Democrats are at liberty
to favor tariff protecting manufactured
tobacco other Democrats are at liberty to
oppose legislation calculated, if not in
tended, to ruin the existing banking sys-
TEN.
We claim for ell Democrats the right to
differ with their Democratic brethren on
any platform question. Mr.. CLEVELAND
claims that right for himself when the
silver question is up for consideration.
We claim that right on the question re-
ferred to by the Ne,os.

Tho Democratic Platform.

The Atlanta Constitution delights in
"pokIng fun" at the men who advocate
tariff reform" and, seeing the dilemma
in which those men fud themselves.
warns them day after day that If the Chi
cago platform is to be carried out there
cap be no tariff compromise agreed upon.
The question was settled in Chicago tor
free trade. or at any rate against protec-
ton, and the settlement must be re-
spected. We quote the following spsci-
men article from the Constitution:
THE question OF protection has been dis
posed Of. we declaie it to be fundamental
principle Of the Democratic parry says the
Democratic platform, that the Federal Govern
nent has no constitutional power to impose ani
collect tariff duties, except for the purpose oil
revenue only, and we d9msnd that the collection
OF such taxes shall be limited to the necessities
of the government, whoa honestly and oconomi-
cally administered
"This is not only tho Democratic doctrine, II Is
the Democratic pledge Clearly and distinctly
made. The people endorsed IL, and IL must be
redeemed. Profession does not enter into the
scheme, and 1t will be found that there is small
place In a revenue tariff for incidental proiec-
ton. As Mr.. Watterson truly says, every duty
must DO laid for revenue only, and where re re-
nue. begins protection ends
"The way to reform tho tariff is to carry out
the Democratic platform"
OF course our Atlanta contemporary Is
Joking; but he is joking upon serious
matter. The silver question might DO re-
ferred to in language similar to that quoted
above; but who expects the next Congress
to carry out the Democratic platform on
that question? Nobody. And there Is no
good reason why tariff plank should be
regarded as of more importance than a
silver plank At any rate, let the Chicago
platform say what it may, that party or
faction or set of theorists who shall 90 to
work to tax sugar will dwindle in short
time down to nothing ct all.

n,ha Cifv-Hall Cnntrnnra.

In view of what has been printed-in
view OF much that has been SAID and not
published-it would probably be well for
an appeal to be taken from the judgment
of the Committee on Grounds and Build
ings to the City Council in the matter of
the awards for the new City Hall light-fx-
lures, DC.
Thousands of our people who have been
discouraged by theereat amount of money
spent upon this building have hitherto
found some consolation in the idea that
though many mistakes have been made
not dollar had been improperly spent.
Now. in . measure, this consolation is
denied them. There is an idea prevalent
that personal favoritism has had inhu-
ence where only sound business sense
and impartial dealing should have pre-
vailed. If this IS an error-and very likely
it ls--the sooner 1t Is demonstrated to be
such the better 1t will be for the commit
teemen, Council. and community.
II is better that all the questions at issue
should be thoroughly ventilated before
the City Council than that any such i'm
preston should prevail. No other way
out of the difficulty occurs TO us. Better
let prevalent impressions be wiped out
than deepen as time passes.
