THE BLOCKADE.
German Government silent A. to
when II VIII he Raised,

Berlin, Dec. 3o.-The German gov
ernment is completely silent as to
when the blockade will be raised, or
whether ii will be raised at all until
every question concerning arbitra-

bitration after the blockade was be-
gun is certainly not received with
popular favor in Germany.

SOUTHERN GLEANiNGS.



The worst fire which has ravaged
the business portion of Knoxville,
TenE, since the disastrous million
dollar conflagration of 1897 broke out
in the building occupied by the Knox
vile Pants Co., the other day, and be-
fore the flames could be quenched d
score of business houses had gone up
in smoke, entailing a loss estimated
az S500,0UU. The neighboring city Of
Chattanooga was called on for as
sistance when the fire was at it's
height, and an engine company had
run by special train 20 miles in 23
minutes toward Knoxville when
stopped by wire, the fire being under
control. The blaze was a very spec
tacular one, and attracted crowd
numbering into the thousands. 1t is
nothing less than miraculous that no
one was hurt, shattered glass falling
in great showers, and the terrific ex-
plosions in a chemical supply house
throwing bricks great distance. The
fire was so terribly hot, however, that
few but the firemen dared to venture
close to it. The insurance is about
$780, 900.

slaughter, with a recommendation for
mercy. A motion for a new trial was
denied, and Hardy sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary. Several wit
nesses testified that Young was most
brutally whipped, three convicts
standing on him while Hardy welded
the lash. When Young was turned out
to die he was one mass of sores from
head to heels. Convicts, before the
grand jury which indicted Hardy, ex-
hibited their stripes, and public senti-
ment was very much wrought up over
the revelations.
