MIRACULOUS ESCAPES
News From Lonergan and
O'Callaghan In Galveston.

Much anxiety has beer felt in Au-
gusta concerning the safety of the Sa-
cred Heart church in Galveston.
Father Lonergan and Father O'Calla-
CHAN have been at different times be-
loved and respected pastors of the Sa-
cred Heart parish in Augusta. Not a
few hearts beat faster than ordinary
when the doleful tidings of the Gal
weston horror reached this city and it
will be a source of deep qualification to
the friends of the good priests in this
city to knO that they are safe, al
though their beautiful church was de-
stroyed.
The following statement of the de-
mOlitiOn of the church is taken from
an account of a special correspondent
to the New Orleans Picayune. Father
Kerwin was a co-worker Of Fathers
Lonergan and O'Callaghan:

just come in AMI had not had time to
accep the invitation of the priest. ST.
Parick's and st. Joseph's churches
were wrecked by falling towers. St.
Mary's orphan asylum was totally
wrecked and everyone within its walls
was killed. There were ninety odd
children who persisted and eleven sis
tiers. The heroic sisters had each tied
themselves to nine children with stout
ropes. The bodies foated to sea and
were found, still bound together. The

at all, but it is closed, the pupils were

THE WASHINGTON FIRE
The Conf1agration During the War
Recalled.
Charlotte Observer.)

After reading the account in The OBJ
server of the disastrous fire at Wash
ington. Thursday, Mr.. Joseph G. Free
land, of this city, recalled the fire dur
ing the civil war, which swept the en-
tire town, n the fierce fight there.
He was present and took part in the
battle in which the Yankees were
driven out OF the city.
The Yankee fired the town from one
end TO the other, applying the torch as
they were driven back. Mr.. Freeland
said:
Il held a position in front of a large
and handsome building. taking deadly
ann and firing all the time. In that
building We're q number of ladies, who
were begging us to come IN Of the
streets, as We were in great danger.
About that time a young lady, bare
headed and carrying an infant in her
arms, came running &c h corner OF
the street near us. She vas evidently
seeking protection. but was h o
through the heart by a Yankee and fell
dead with her baby, TO the pavement.
Two or three confederate soldiers, 1
among the number, went Immediately
to her assistance, n carried the pros
trate body to the building above men,
toned, where the ladies were. Then
again We entered the fighting line and.
being inffamed almost to desperation,
renewed the fight with manly vigor,
although We were very tired and weak.
Yankees were o o fleeing as fast as
they could, many falling before our
guns. AT his time the whole place was
on fire. We formed a bucket brigade
and began fighting fire, saving lives
from falling depris. 1 was on the top
story of a frame building that a been
caught, pouring water on the roof and
outside Misunderstanding as fast as
the bucket could De passed up to me.
On account of exhaustion, and being
disheartened because Of the method we
had to fight fire, the men ceased hand
ing me buckets, M 1 made my way
down stairs. When / reached h sec
ond story 1 was in the midst of flames,
which l had to go through, or be
roasted alive. When / reached the
pavement l saw an aged couple hold
ing a young lady tightly in their grasp.
Seeing she was about to eScape from
the old people l ran to their assistance,
and with all my might l could not stop
her from entering a burning building
almost at a point of falling in. She
was so crazed with fright and so strong
that she carried me into the door of
the first floor of the building. We had
no more than entered the o when
| part of the upper floor fell in on us.
/ could N eX%tricate her from the
timberS and the fire was blazing all
about us. 1t was with great difficulty
that 1 made my way out, and do not
know now how 1 escaped. The young
lady was, of course burned. 1 have
never, to this day, leaned the names of
the old people or rave l seen or heard
of them. 1t was an awful time and
the loss of life and property vas great.

that were against us, but by superior

ran them out of Washington. They got

THE BATTLESHIP ALABAMA
The OmcIa Report of Her Recent
Speed Trial.

Washington, September 19.-The
navy department a received the Off
cial report Of the recent speed trial of
h battleship Alabama A review of
h findings of the trial board de-
velops that, with the exception OF a
Alabama's trial trip proved her in all
respects complete and ready for in
slant sea service.
Her displacement at the trial was
11,570 tons. forty-five tons oyer the re-
quirement OF her contract, so that the
Alabama made her fast run under
slightly adverse conditions in this re-
spect. The board did not have an on
p~ortunity to test the behavior Of the
Alabama in bad weather as the day Of
her trial trip the sea was like glass.
Her corrected speed is set down in the
report as 17.015 miles an hour.
The machinery. main and auxiliary,
the steering and maneuvering gear,
the engines and boilers, all func1ioned
Pc md the ship was found I'M
usually free from structural vibration,
even while the engines were driving
with their greatest power. The tur-
rets on the Alabama were not turned
on her speed trip, as the electrical ma
chinery for them had not passed the
inspectors tests. Neither were the
turret ammunition hoists tested. as
the work upon them had not then been
completed. There was a slight excess
of air pressure in the fire rooms, but
not enough to affect h result of the
trial materially, in view of the excess
of speed attained.

The name of the company will be tho

the combination, which viii commence
operations as soon as the next lobster

PARTISAN SCHOOL HISTORIES
Reply of Atlanta Camp of Confederate
Veterans to the Grand Army Resolu-
tion as to southern Histories

Atlanta, Ga, September 19.-Atlan-
Ia camp, No. 159, United Confederate
Veterans. at it's last meeting adopted
a couched in strong Ian
guage, taking exceptions TO a resolution
passed at the recent encampment al
Chicago, Of the Grand Army of the
Republic. relative to southern school
histories. 1t was held by the Grand
Army OF h Republic resolution that
many of the histories used by southern
School children gave a partisan view
of the history of facts of the civil war.
After giving briefly several incidents
IN the war the resolution adopted by
the Atlanta camp concludes:
IN the language of the resolutions
of the Grand Army, We of the south
also call upon patriotic citizens TO aid
in banishing from our schools all
books and teachings Of a partisan, sec
tiOnal or dislOyal character, but We re-
mind our fellow citizens of the Grand
Army of the Republic that so long as
the northern schools are supplied with
books that teach that the war between
the states was organized rebellion
designed to destroy the union, that JEFF
fersOn Davis was the arch traitor (while
John Brown was a hero and MARTYR:
that Robert T.. Zee Albert s. johnson
and S~tonewall Jackson We're guilty of
reason; that Semmes, Tattnall, Buch-
anan and Waddell were wicked pirates
and the southern armies were bands
of r~bNls, the adoption of these reso-
lutIonS by the Grand Army Of the Re-
public is but a hollow farce.
The resolutions themselves TEEN
with partisan anger and misrepresenta-
ton. Whenever the unfair partisan
books of the north are corrected and
all evidences of hatred to the south
eliminated therefrOm il Will her be
time enough for our Grand Army
friends to call for reform in the mat
ter of southern histories"
