WILL PAY THE TAX.-Mr. NJ. E. In
gals, president of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad, has just written a letter,
which has been sent to Gov. O'Ferrall ,
in which he declines to take advantage
of the recent decision of the Court of
Appeals in the district school tax case.
In this decision it was held that rail-
roads, telephone, and telegraph compa-
MES could not be made to pay the dis
trict school tax. This decision would
have deprived the schools of the Com
monwealth of about $4,000 annually.
President Ingalls,, of the Chesapeake
and Ohio, promptly declines, on behalf
of his company, to take advantage of
this decision. Other railroads are ex-
pected to follow the same course. This
iiberality upon the part of the railroads
may or may not show their anxiety to
be OF friendly terms with the Virginia
public just at this time when coDsti-
tutional convention is likely to be as
sembled.

RIG FIREIN A HOSPITAL.

The Gothic Church of Sauveur, on
the boulevard du Marechal valiant, at
Lille, France, YVES destroyed by fire
Yesterday morning. The flames spread
to the Hospital of ST. Sauveur, adjoin-
ing the church. There was the greatest
excitement when it was seen that the
hospital would be burned. The scenes
among the patients wereterrible. Those
who were convalescent were hurrledly
directed to leave the building, and the
hospital attendants and others devoted
themselves to removing those who were
not able to help themselves.
The cries of the sick were heart-rend-
ing. Four of the patients, who were
extremely weak, succumbed to fright,
and died before they could be taken
out. Many OF the sick were received
in the convent of the Little Sisters Of
the Poor, which is situated but short
distance from the scene of the fire.
Ten sappers, who had been ordered to
save the medicine in the hospital, came
across what they thought was guam
tity of schnapps. They each took a
drink and were almost instantly seized
with symptoms of poisoning. Physi-
clans at once attended them, but, de-
spite all efforts, four of the sappers
died and the others are still suffering
from sgonizing pains.
It was not until O'Clock yesterday
evening that the fire was mastered. 1t
was caused by the neglect of some
plumbers who had been employed in
the tower of the church, and who had
either left their burning brazier or
dropped piece of ignited charcoal.
