10 the issue Of July lst the change that
had just gone into effect as to Road Masters
on the various divisions Of the Atlantic
Coast Line, by the operation Of which Capt
A. n. Free!and lost his position as Road Mas
ter Of the Western Division, was mentioned.
At that time the writer WAS led to believe
that the changes had been made for the pur-
pose Of economizing. 1t was generally
thought very strange that the Coast Line Off
cials should drop man who had been in the
employ OF the road 80 long and possessed Of
the experience and good judgment of Capt
Fleeland, bur it was supposed that they
knew their business. Since the announce
ment Of the changes were made however,
various reports and rumors as to the proba.
bic cause of Capt. F:eeland removal have
crept into circulation Wishing TO obtain
the facts the writer called en- Capt Freeland
and asked him the direc, question, 'Why
were you removed from Office ?" But no
light could be obtained from him, for be is
as thoroughly in the dark as to the cause OF
his removal as the public The reports in
circulation Can do Capt Freeiand no harm

A negro tenement house on Sumter Street,
between Republican and Canal Street, was
burned on Saturday night. The alarm was
given about 30 O'Clock and the reels turned
out ~ once The hre WAS confined 10 the
ioft of the house and was difficult to reach
with the streams Of water, hut hv the use
of axes and hooks the gable end Of the house
WAS knocked ou; and the FIRE was extinguish-

house came mp about the time the fire was
gotten under control and raised tremendous
din aoout her children who hnd been left in
the house. The children, however, bad heen
removed to place of safety when the FIRE
Was 6rst discovered. a greater part Of the
furniture was removed from the house by
n-ighbors
One of the reel squads manned by negroes
threw the first stream Of water, closely fol-
lowed by Monaghan squad. The good work
of the FIRE department saved large number
of tenement houses from destruction, for that
vicinity is regular nest of small houses, and
in close proximity are Epperson's stables.
The residence of Mrs. Annie R. Cain, of Pri-
vateer, was burned about a. H., Tuesday,
9th inst, and very little of the contents of the
house were saved The inmates succeeded in
saving part of their clothing, but all OF the
furniture was lost The FIRE is supposed TO
have originated from the kitchen due.
The house was occupied at the time by Mr.
Scott George, who had bought the place from
Mrs. Cain, and made part payment on it..
Whether the house wes Insured has not been
ascertained 1t was not insured with

ly had made for him a coat of chain
mail, such as the chevaiers wore in
the middle ages, which he wears un-
der his outer shirt.
It is very light, exceedingly solid
and OF double thickness over the
heart. Its power of resistance is
such that not only will it afford pro-
lection against the slenderest of
stilettos but a revolver bullet can
not penetrate it. In workmanship
it is a beautiful piece Of construction
and so flexible and easy to wear that
1t occasions no discomfort to the
noted man who dons it. Probably
It is the finest coat of chain mail

vigorous pounding on the door, and
