Manslaughter Yesterday-
Yesterday morning when thejary
came into court at 950 o'clock, and
asked his Honor for a clearer 'ex
planation of the difference between
murder and manslaughter, tbelarge
assemblage that filled the court
room knew that the conflict between
the jurors in the case was confined
to this difference between them.
And when the foreman of the iurv
asked Judge MacRae if they failed
to make op a verdict of mur
could they bring in a verdict
manslaughter, Col. Jones stepp
over to the prisoner, and whispe:
in ner ear, probably told her
ha need not hope for acq
i fie jury then reiSreu sen
minutes to three o'clock u.
into court and announced that tl
had made up their verdict and
that their verdict was that the pris
oner at the nar was guilty ot man
Biaugnter. the prisoner did not
aeen to oe agitated in the least at
the announcement, and her coun
sel asked his Henor net to sentence
her until they had filed motions
etc.. which they proposed entering
in the case. The btate not nravinsr
judgment, his honor acquiesced in
tne prayer of counsel tor the de
fence, and the misoner wiil not be
sentenced until one day next week.
The jury was discharged, prisoner
remanded to i - il and court was
djourned for the week.

The alarm was sounded a little af
ter 12 yesterday m rning, and the
glow that filled the Northern s-ky
proved that a fire had already made
destructive headway. The location
of the fire turned out to be at the res
idence of the Rev. Dr. CarrollPastor
of the Second Baptist church, on
Merrimon Avenue. Neighbors and
others quicUy gathered, and the fur
aiture of the lower floors was gotten
out generally in good condition, but
in the upper story was much mutilated
or else abandoned to its fate. By
the tim the fire department reached
the 6pot, all the rear of the building
was in full blaze ; and the flames had
insinuated themselves all through the
upper storv running under the roof.
and between the cealing and plastered
wall and the outside covering. A
stream Of water was soon iu strong
play ; and after a long and stubborn
conflict the fire was extinguished.
The East end of the house is at a
charred ruin. The front shows little
mark of the fire : but in fact 4tie
flames had run through Ihe
part of the building, and in
much of which appears outward!
be intact must be removed,
damage to the house and fund
is probably $2,000. There is an in
surance of $2,000 on the house and
of $500 on the furniture.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
It broke out in a room above the
cook room occupied by a neg -o boy
servant. He had left eai m the
evening and was not present at the
time of the fire. He had left his lamp
and matches down stairs. The fire in
the stove had been extinguished some
aours. When the blaze of the fire
flashed on Dr. Carroll, he ran up
stairs to the room, snatching up a
bucket of water from a shelf as he
passed; when he opened the door, the
boys' bed and the cealing overhead
were in full blaze, and the fire beyond
individual control.

During the fire at Dr. Carroll's, a

Our Fire Department
It entirely a voluntary organiza
tion, dependent upon the spirit of
the young men for the arduous du
ties to be performed and the liber
ality of the municipal corporation
for the supply ot apparatus. Un
like a paid fire department, which
proyides quarters for its men, and
keeps them together ready for in
stant emergency, our young men
return to their homes when their
day's business is ended, and they
are scat ered over the wide area of
the city. A night alarm often calls
them to very remote points ; and i
i3 astonishing to witness the alacri
ty and despatcn with which the
summons is obeyed, and the rapid
ity with which they move to the
scene of disaster.

. We received last night a note
from our townsman Capt. C. M. Mc
Loud dated New York City Monday
evening March 12th. Capt. Mc
say?, "I expected to Btart home to
day. Cannot do so however, as I
am literafty snowed in. Thefsnow
bank in front ot my door is six leet
high and snow is still falling faster
than I ever saw it at home. The
wires are all down, and we can get
no news. I write this as a venture
hoping it may reach you.
Such a utorm as this has not been
experienced hsre lor forty years."
Capt. McLoud expected to be at
Black Mountain Station Wednea-
ay night, to attend the sale of the
lack Mountain hotel property ad
vertised to take place on Thurs
day lotd; but as he could not leave
New York, we presume the 8Me

nope Capt. McLoud called on Col.
Bid Nye to congratulate him on his
success in the climate business.

Republican Cussediiess.
Washington, March 16. The
wavs and means committee nrrain
considered the internal revenue sec
tion of the Mills bill to-day and
completed it with the excef tion of
the paragraph relating to the de
struction of private distillery appa
ratus and to the trea'ment ol pris
oners whose health was jeopardized
by confinement. Over tlnse sec
tions there was some difference of
opinion and it was evident that tin
Republicans will vote against them
when the committee meets again.
There was also strong opposition on
the part of the minority to the mo
tion made by Mr Mi Is that the
House be requested to grant tl.e
committee leave to sit during its
session, but it carried, nevertheless.

' New York, March 16. Ihe Her

that within a week after the deliv

ing it.
In talking over the matter with
some friends this (. Thursday 1 morn
ing Senator . Ingalis said: '"We
have been hearing for years that the

fact, the Democratic paity Soul!; is

The Cost of Internal Revenue Arrests.
Washington. March 10 The At
torney General to-day ent in a re
ply to the House resolution of in
quiry relative to the expense of nr-
reFting persons for violations of tiie
internal revenue laws. He says un
usual expenses necessary in making
arrest- of illicit distiilets have been
authorized in the northern h tricts
w i .i-n mu ...... v -" r !
and South Carolina and the western
district of Virginia. Th authority
grranted to marsbu's wa- to enploy
efficient deputies to accompany r v- i
entie agento in making arre!-. I oe
reason tor giving this authority v is
thatdepuths were found to he nec
essary to guide the olhcets to the
hills and hiding places where the
illicit distillers could be found
and were olleii found. and
where arrest- would, otherwise,--'
h: " be-'!i impracticable.
The ordinary compensation woukl
be insufficient to secure their ser
vices and the limit fixed f r such
expenses range Irom M"mj in tne
eastern district to $1,400 in the west
ern district ot North Carolina. Tiie
department has no knowledge that
its instructions nave oeen misun
derstood or violated by marshal-,
and in no case has the maximum
compensation fixed by the depart
ment been exceeded, oi lias any
part of the judicial appropriation
been expended for the pay of reve
nue agents except as deputy mar
shals.
