TERRoRs OF A FIRE.-Madame
Breezing's house of ill repute at Lex
ington, KY, the finest south of the
Ohio river, was destroyed by fire at
noon Saturday. 1t was attended by
sensational scenes. Several prominent
mea had been making a night of it,
and the revelry continued until mid
night. The participants then retired
and every apartment of the big house
was occupied. At noon passers-by
saw smoke issuing from the windows.
The house was soon enveloped in
flames and the fire department could
not save it. Shrieks and cries of men
and women, blended most inharmoni-
ously inside. The front door was soon
dashed open, and all the occupants,
male and female, rushed out into the
snow in bare feet and scanty attire in
the presence of an immense crowd in
the Street. Suddenly cry Of horror
ran through the crowd, as one of the
women appeared at the attic window
scantily attired; she was shut in by the
flames and screamed frantically for
help. Four men seized a mattress, and
holding it up cried for her to jump
Without hesitation she did so, plung-

A BIG LOCKOUT. : One of the great
est industrial lockouts of modern times
began Saturday, when practically all
the boot and shoe factories in Englar
closed their doors in the face of sullen
labor. Already over 200, 900 operatives
are affected and the lockout will, it is
expected, extend to 200, 900 more. Over
100000 people will ultimately be vi
tally affected by the monster labor war.
The men locked cut are said to have a
fund of 100000 with which to see
them through the first month of the
lockout. But it is estimated that the
trouble will cost the Leicester district
alone at least 81, 900 900 in wages. The
conflict started in a complicated dis
pute concerning the use of improved
machinery and Is strikingly similar to
the old-time labor struggles that sprang
from the introduction of machine WeaY-
ing.

delegation of New England cotton
manufacturers have recently visited the
South and inspected the superior
natural advantages possessed by tins
section for the prosecution of the ln-
drstrv in which they are engaged. Ia
s,esking of their trip, one ofthem says:
aI will never cease to rejoice that l

people. They are as kind hearted,

No matter how strongly convinced
an intelligent Northern may be of the
soundness of republican principles IN
respect of national affairs, it doesn't
take long for him to vote the demo-
cratic ticket at local or State elections,
after moving South, especially if he
shall have invested any money in TINS
section. If Northern people knew
more of the South than they do, they
would be relieved Of much of the dis
like they now entertain for their fellow
citizens of this portion OF the common
country. But they will never have
their knowledge, in respect of the
matter referred to. increased by read
ing the newspapers of their own sec
ton. The late Justice Lamar OF the
L. 5. Supreme Court spoke the truth
when he said, the people Of the South
had long since abandoned the hope OF
ever being correctly represented at the
North.

tuition Self-interest made the people

RESULT OF REARING A WHITE GIRL
BY NEGROES. day last week n
crippled white woman, who is now at
the Salem, Va, poor-house, went to
County Clerk Griffin and requested
him not to sell a marriage license to a
negro she described, as he desired to
marry her daughter. Upon inyestiga-
ton, it was found that when this white
woman's husband died many years ago
she, being very poor, gave her infant
daughter to a negro family who live
near there. These negroes are comfort
ably fixed, and now that the girl is
about sixteen years of age it is said
that one of the negroes desires to marry
the girl, and that the young mans
father, who is head of the household,
also wishes it. As to whether the girl,
who is said to be pretty, wants to marry
the colored man is not known, but apart
from it being illegal, it is sad case to
occur in the midst of the community,
and it would seem as though the girl
ought to have found home among
members of her own race.

TALK OF A RAILROAD CoNsoLIDA-
T1oN.-The Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley Railroad Company, of which
Gen. John Gill is receiver, is building
number of large coal chutes at Point
Peter, the seaport of Wilmington, N:
G., to facilitate the shipment of coal
from that port. These chutes are SO
arranged as to dump the coal direct
from the cars to vessels to be loaded.
It is said by persons interested in the
bonds of the Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley and of the Roanoke and South
ern roads that consolidation of these
properties is among the probabilities in
the reorganization which both will un-
dergo. This would give direct line
from Roanoke, Va, to Wilmington, n.
c., and would afford all excellent out
let to that Southern seaport for the
coal from the Pocahontas felds.-Balt.

YESTERDAY was clear, bright, sea-

no more reason why there should be
bad weather on the 18th and the 21st
of March or on the 21st of September
than there should he on any other days
in either of those months, and an IL
speclion of daily weather reports for

any such idea.
