five minutes and seemed to be think

Of hair and eyes--the fresh scar on his
cheek--a finger missing from his left
hand. OF a sudden the man started up
and walked on, heading straight for the
confederate lines We stood and
watched him across the glade and into
the darkness Of the woods and then
turned away.

the captain almost among the first Of
the dead. Three bullets had struck
him in the breast as he dashed forward

breast pocket we placed the letter

One night when the sentinels had

confederate in the uniform Of a captain
stepped into the clearing in full view.
The sentinel lifted his musket and
opened his lips to cry out, believing
that the enemy was moving down on

A FATAL FIRE.
Several Men Believed to Have Lost
Their Lives at Knoxville.
A CAR LOAD OF WHISKY EXPLODES
An Entire Train Of Fourteen Cars Destroy ed
and One Man Seriously Hurt-An Ele-
vatOr Falls Five St0rles-Five
Men Injured.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 9-Never
in the history OF Knoxville has the city
suffered such loss by fire as it did
yesterday. The very heart of the city,
including some of the largest whole
sale and retail business houses in the
south, was destroyed. The loss is
variously estimated at from $1,000, 900
to 81, 500, 900, with about 90 per cent Of
insurance. The loss of life is very un-
certain, as the register of the Knox
hotel, in which So people were sleeping
was burned. The proprietor of the
hotel says that he had five Or six guests
who have not put in an appearance.
A. L. Weeks, of Lockeny, drummer
for q Rochester stamping COM
pany is known to have persisted in the
flames. r. w. Hopkins, a St. Louis
drummer, was last seen in the burning
building in a suffocating condition.
Two other men are believed to have
lost their lives J. M Dean, Of Kansas
City, who jumped from the burning
building, tells thrilling story of his
escape. He started out with only
night shirt on and had that torn off
before he reached the street When
the firemen thought all the inmates Of
the hotel had escaped woman with
an infant in her arms rushed to the
rear window and screamed for help. A
net was quickly stretched and the
woman asked to drop the child out,
but as the smoke almost choked her she
told them that II one had to die both
would die. The woman was finally
rescued by the fremen.
From the hotel building, which is
five stories, the fire spread and stiff
wind made the flames very ugly and
the fire department was inadequate.
In the wholesale hardware house OF
W. W. Woodruff & Co. large dyna-
mite explosion occurred and scores Of
people were hurt by flying brick and
glass. 1t became necessary at last to
have the walls Of one building blown
down by cannon to stop the mad ca
reer of the fire. A mountain howitzer
Of the Knoxville legion was called into
play and a load Of canister did the
work, at the same time tearing up
some residences in different portion
Of the city.
A cabinetmaker named P. c. Dyer fell
dead on the street from fright. II is
more than probable that J. c. NJ. Boyle,
the old gentleman hurt In the hotel,
will die. He inhaled flames and can
neither speak nor swallow. The last
man to leave the burning hotel says
that he is positive that five or six per.
IONS were burned. He ran over three

CHICAGO, April S.-Four thousand
inen were forced out of employment
by the closing of the works of the Hi

night. This action was taken by the
officials to head off a strike Employees
declare they will resist the lockout.
Officials assert that the works will be

eners are responsible for the trouble.
The officials of the company claim
that the workmen broke their
yearly contract which was made
a few months ago. As u result
of the strained relations, it is
said, the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers is in great
danger of being disbanded. 1t is said
that the company has reduced the
scale of wages since the fall in the
price of rails, and the question has
been much disputed one ever since
President Collins of the Amalgamated
association was called from Pittsburgh
by the Illinois Steel Co. officials sew
eral days ago. He heard both sides of
the story, and at last told the work.
men that they must stand by their
contract with the company or the as
ISOLATION would not support them.
Iron workers who were objecting to
the sliding scale Of wages, refused to
give positive answer at that time.
Yesterday they held meeting among
themselves and made plans to stop
work. The officials were informed Of
the move on the part Of the workmen
and at once ordered the mill to be shut
down.
