Mr Frye .introduced his international
CongreB "billj ' which was telegraphed
Sunday night. Its title is "A bill to
promote! the political progress and com
mercial prosperity of American nations. ' '
Mri Ktorgah offered a preamble Tand
resolutions which at his request Were
ordered printed and ' laid on the table
for the . present. They recite the first
resolution in Mr. Edmunds' series j and
direct the committer on priyileges land

, ihe education bill was placed before
the Senate and Mr. Gray, of Delaware,
took; the floor In opposition to the
bfll.? He said he Mid not believe it to
be within the power of Congress to enact
Buch al aw without first amending the
constitution, i j :
Mr- Plumb also opposed the bill. He
regard! itas on appropriation not' only
forra; year but for eight! years.; He
thought that at the end of i eight years,
if the pabulum, -provided were not con
tinued, obnventibns would meet ind
delegations would be sent to Washing
ton to urge Congress to keep on appro
priating more money. ; We must there
fore understand that in! passing this
bill we w.ierp arranging for expenditures
for; generations yet to ioome,. Large
appropriations had come Jto have some
thing attractive in them and an appro
priation of seyenty-setenf million! dpi-,
lars was seventy-seven ; times more at
tractive 'than; an appropriation of
one million dollars.' Mr. Plumb
quoted j figures " showing that the!
much larger proportion of the money
would, go to the States of the South and
inueh the larger part . of U be supplied
by ;thje States of tie North and Wst
The wole theory of the bill Was false;
that theory being that the Southern
States Were not able to give a ! common
school education to their illiterates. He
held that, each State was amply able to
educate; its own people and said if this
biU be constitutional then there were no
longer independent States, except as t&ey
iexst in imagination. f . '' ,
Mr; UaU spoke in favor of the bill.
It was idie, he said, to deny that the war
kid destroyed the relations between in
dustrv and property in the South. ; The
South had been left with disordered in
dustries and with lauded property hav
ing no. convertible value in money.", No

troph. Wilmington Review. Monday.
, This cty, which has been remarkably
exempt for many y ars from disastrous
fires, was visited yesterday by a confla
gration which at one time seriourly
threatened the destruction of its entire
northwestern j section, and which has
never been equalled in the extent of
damage in the history of the city. The
wind blew almost a gale all day and
at about half past 2 o'clock in the after
noon fire wasidisooYTrftfr on board: the
steamer Bladen, Cspt.5 Koboson, when
she was nearly opposite the foot of Wal
nut street in coming down from Fayette
ville. The Bladen had a number of lady
passengers on board besides freight
consisting in part of 125 bales of cotton.
As soon as the fire was discovered boats
put off from the different vessels near by
to rescue the' passengers. The steamer'
headed directly for the wharves of the
Clyde line of steamers, where the passen
gers who had not already been rescued
were safely landed. Coming in contact
with the wharf, the flames ignited the
highly combustible materials which were
stored there and in a moment they were
beyond human control Favored by
the strong wind; they were carried: to
the warehouses of: the Clyde steamers
and thence with astonishing rapidity to
the costly warehouse recently erected by
Col. F. W. Korchner and thence to the
building occupied by Messrs.: Kerchner
& Calder Bros. Both, of these large ware
houses were completely gutted and their
contents destroyed, and a large portion
of their walls tumbled to the ground.
The flames here crossed Water street
aud gutted the second story of the storo
of Mr. M. J. Heyer, and thence in their
northwestard course swept every build
ing on both sides of Water street to
Mulberry street. Crossing Mulberry
street the fire swept up Nutt street, tak
ing in its course the storehouse -and
warehouses of Messrs. Worth & Worth,
Messrs. Alex. S Sprunt & Sons, the saw
and planing mills of Mr. J. W. Thj-
or, the Champion compress and the
magnificent warehouse of the Wil
mington, Uolumbia & Augusta and the
Wilmington lac : Weldon railroads, : on
the west side of the street. On the
east side of I the street it seriously
scorched a small! building on the corner
of Mulberry and Nutt streets, and
seeming to leave this as entirely too in
significant for, its work, attacked the
Mariners Home, kept by Airs. ISrysou.
This building! which is of brick, re
sisted the fierce attack for a consider
able time, but eventually yielded and
nothing is now left of it but the bare
walls. Piext i in its course it swept
through the grist mill of Mr. J. (1.
Boney, the Cape rear-; flour mills, land
crossing wamut street swept every
building on the square bounded by Red
Cross and Walnut and Nutt and Front
streets, including the offices of the Wil
mington, Columbia & Augusta, and
Wilmington & Weldon railroads. Cross
ing to the east side of Front s street the
Front street M. E church was destroyed
and every building on' the nquare
bounded by 'Walnut and lied Crosa
streets and Front and Second streets,.
ith the exception of the Methodist
parsonage, occupied by Rev. Dr. Yates,
was. burned, j
The first dwelling houBe destroyed
was the residence of Hon. George Davis,
on Second Street, between Walnut and
Red Cross, which, although nearly half
a mile from where the fire originated,
caught on the roof from some flying em
bers. In a few moments alter the alarm
a a
was given these could nave been ex
tinguished had there been pressure of
water sumoient to nave earned it to tne
roof, but unfortunately that was not the
case and the building was destroyed, in
volving in its ruin the destruction of
the dwellings of Mrs. V. BUn ting', Col;
E. R. Brink, Mt. Sol Bear and the rest
denoe of the late Mr. Henry Nutt.
The loss- of the Front street M. E.
church was due mainly to the fact that
the cupola was of wood, made in the
form of blinds for the purpose of venti
lation, and Some of the embers finding
their way through these ignited the in
terior wood work, and almost in a mo
ment it was beyond human power to ar
rest the progress of the flames. As the
devouring element fastened: itself Upon
the inside of ' the structure the bell of
the churchy from some cause probably; !
however, by some heavy substance fall
ing upon itgave one sad, solemn peal
as if tolling its own destruction. It was
a pitiable sound which brought tears to
the eyes of many of those who had wor
shipped there and had been born in
Christ under: ministrations beneatn tne
roof of that edifice. "The old church
bell," which had become a tender part
of the history, of many lives, bidding
them welcome to tne sacred service ot
God, ringing out joyously a wedding
peal or tolupg Badly for the departed
spirit of sofno loved and saintly one,
now with one great heart-throb tolled
for its own destruction. &
The living embers were carried by the
force of the wind a great distance, and
the roofs of a number of buildings were
ignited, but owing to the watchfulness
nd exertions of the people the flames
were extinguished.
The schooner Lillie Holmes. Capt,
Willbert, which was lying atKerchner's
wharf, and the steamer River Queen,
Capt Worth, which was lying near by,
together with the steamer Bladen, Cant,
Robeson, were among the first to be de-
stroyed by the flames. There were sev
eral other vessels in great jeopardy, but
through the exertions of the steamers
Passport, Alpha and Marie they were
hauled to a place of safety and thus es
caned destruction .
During tne afternoon and late into
the bight the streets in the vicinity of
the place where the fire had so ruthless
ly and faithfully done its work were
crowded with a throng of people, who,
notwithstanding the cold, the wind or
the dense volumes of smoke by which
they were in danger at times of being
suffocatu'l, were seemingly fascinated
aud; spell-bound by the devastating
work of the besom of destruction.
Soon after the flames had begun their
work, and when it seemed that, that en
tire section of the city was inevitably
doomed, carts, drays, wagons and other
vehicleswere put in requisition to aid
in removing the household goods from
menaced dwellings to a place of safety
But these were not sufficient for the
purpose and many of the sidewalks and
roads were strewn with furniture.
As night approached, and it became
entirely evident that a large amout of
property would necessarily bo kept out
of doors without adequate protection,
the Wilmington Light Infantry, Capt.
Jones, were put under arms and dis
tributed; where they could do the most
effective Bervice in guarding property.
These remained on duty all night aud
there is no doubt that the presence of
the . military prevented many, who
would like to thrive upon the misfor
tunes of others, from committing whole
sale robberies. : The voluntary s duty of
the soldiery was appreciated by the
Eeople, who ministered to their comfort
y regaling them with hot coffee at
times during the night. '
Seeiug the : imminent peril which
threatened the city, the fire departments
of Golsboro, Charlotte and Florence,
S. C , were telegraphed to for assist
ance. The Goldsboro company started.
but when the train got to Mt. Olive
they received a dispatch that it would
be impossible to reach here, as the track:
between this city and Rocky Point was
blocked with cars which had been hauled
out to escape destruction. Hear id g
this intelligence the company returned
to Goldsboro. lhe li po steam fare

Capt J. Jelico, with thirty-five menjj
bers, arrived over the Wilmington, Coj
lumbia & Augusta railroad at a quarter
past 9 o'clock last night, having made
the run of 108 miles in three hours and
one minute. In just twenty minutes
after receiving the dispatch which stated
that their services were needed they
were at ; the' depot with their engine
waiting for a locomotive to bring them
here.; They were on duty all night at
the railroad warehouses at work ex
tinguishing the flames and at : the same
time exercising, watchful care that they
did not spread : to the other property in
the vicinity.
All the firemen did noble worx and
were on duty without intermission from
the first sound of the alarm at 2 30 yes
terday afternoon until 8 o clock this
morning. Thus through the long and
weary hours they fought the flames,
Sometimes parched with the intense heat
and oftentimes nearly blinded and in
danger of suffocation from the dense
tolumes of smoke with which they were
it 'PU 1
fr'uuentlv encompassed. " Ibere were
many individual cases of intrepid daring
aud self-forgeting heroism. All fought
bravely and well, and lixe heroes, and all
honor is accorded them for their manly
efforts. 1
St about 8 o'clock last night it be-
came eviaent that me nre naa nearly
spent the force of its wrath,' and that
should the wind continue to blow in
the same direction, the work of destruc
tion ; was nearly completed. ; Still the
anxiety among the. people of the menaced-section
of the city was intense,
and they earnestly watched; the fire,
with many ah ardent hope and prayer
that i. would be content with the devas
tation it had already effected, without
seeking other food for ita insatiable ap
petite. A the night advanced and the
flames became more and more positively
under the control of the firemen, this
feeling of intense anxiety, relaxed some
what, and the people heaved a sigh of
slight relief from their state of suspense
and well-founded alarm. v Some sought
needed rest,: but very many gased and
watched until it was nearly dawn before
their fears were so far allayed as to per
mit them to sleep. The schooner Lillie
HolmesJ Wilbur, while being loaded
with guano at Parsley's wharf for New
Bedford, Mass;, also caught fire and was
burned to the water's edge.! She had
about 350 tons of guano on board at the
time. She was valued at $30,000 and
was not insured. She was consigned to
George ?Harriss & Co.T About $300
worth of hoisting apparatus , belonging
to Mr. George Doyle was burned with

THX BROOKLYN FIRX8.
That section of the city north of the
Wilmington & Weldon R. R. suffered
severely. Messrs. Munds Bros., and
also Mri Ftmtnss' drug store, a few
doors north of Bony bridge, on Fourth
street, caught on fire about 4 0 clock,
but fortunately, and by hard work, the
flames were suppressed. A short time
afterwards the flakes of fire which were
carried 'over into the that section of the
city caught on the roof of St. Barnabas
sohoolhbuse, a building erected by St
Mark's colored E Disco Dal church. and lo
cated on the corner ofFifth and Harnett
streets.' This, with its contents, was
entirely destroyed. The scene of this
fire is located more than a mile from the
burning buildings on Water, Front and
Second street, from whence the sparks
were carried from the school-house
the flames extended to three houses in
that neighborhood, and- in the same
block, owned by Mr. James Daniels,
and one other house, owned by Mrs
Latimer, partially insured. These houses
were all occupied by colored people,
who lost nearlyeverytbing they owned.
Thence they spread to and consumed
seven other houses. Some of these were
occupied by white and others by colored
persons, and these lost nearly all they
had. Mr. M. Ratbjen's store, located
on the corner of Sixth and Swann streets,
was also destroyed, with nearly all of its
contents. Four other! small dwelling
houses on this block were also! burned.
From these burning buildings the
flames spread two blocks above and
Trinity M. E. church,; colored, on the
corner of Seventh and -Bladen, was the
first to burn on the blook. ; There was
an old church building! there, consider
ably dilapidated, and jthe frame for a
new structure had been erected near at
hand. The old church was entirely
destroyed and the new frame-work
was partially burned. From the church
the flames spread to two-dwelling houses
in the neighborhood, and occupied by
colored families, which were deBtroved.
'with nearly all of their contents. : Then
two more small frame dwellings n that
neighborhood were burped. ; f j ;
In all nineteen buildings were burned
in the Brooklyn section of the city and
others caught on fire hut were- Saved.
We have no .means at our disposal at
present for locating the exact Iocs and
insurance but it is probable that the loss
will approximate $15,000 in thai section
of the city, with insurance lor not more
than one-third of the amount.
