New Yobk, Dec. 8 Iuterviw this morning with railroad men not. others who were passengers on tb. Washington express which was de stroyed on the Steamer Maryland night may be briefly condenseu a follows: The fire broak out in th kitchin of the boat, which was on the upper or saloon deck, and burning timbers, etc., immediately began to fall upon the roof of the cars below, setting them on fire. As is usual upon the arrival of the Maryland, the rear brakemau, who was to accompany the train to Hart ford, when the boat was made fast to the dock went to the last car to take off the "tail lamps." As he passed a1 eg he noticed nothing unusual, t after he had secured the lamps a turned to go back he was con- runted by a solid wall of flame. The heat immediately forced him to the rear of the boat where he was soon surrounded by passengerB from the sleepers in various stages of disha bille, and as he explained it, 'it got pretty hot before a tug came around and took us off. An employe in the baggage car said that the first inti mation which he had of the fire was when the roof of the car began to shower down spat ks. 1 he train bands generously con tributed hats, coats, etc., to cover the half dresBtd passengers. There were twenty-four; on board, eighteen of whom were in the sleeper. Four were women- Col. A. L. Conger, of Akron, O , member of the national republican commi tee, was a passen ger. : One woman, Mrs. Jenninge, of New OrleanF, was fast asleep. She was dragged from her berth by a deck hand, who is unknown, and escaped in night dress and cloak. The bag gage car, with all the baggage and a coach, sank with the boat- The two sleeping carB were run off on the dock and : burned up there. The flames did not extend beyond the boat itself. The: passengers lost all but the clothes they bad on at the time. Mrs. Jennings is 45 years old, but she took the situation very coolly. Col Conger said that the scene was indescribable and the panic terrible. He was in the sleepieg car and with difficulty made his escape. The men prayed and ; Bwore alternately, and climbed over each other, scrambling like wild beasts in their efforts to get out. One man had only his shirt on and carried his clothes in his hands. Col. Conger lost all but the clothes he wore. The roaring fl lines ad vanced so rapidly that they 6corched the passengers as they jumped to the iian&ier ooat ana tug. At 3 a. m , a new train was made up to take the passengers on their way to Boston. 1 be Joss is estimated at forty thous and dollars. : Th Kccouut In West Virginia.

" Chapel Hill, Dec. 7, 1888. The last meeting for the season of ihe Literary Seminarium had just been held, full of interest and profit; "Sacred Literature" being the sub- ifci for discussior. Mr. W. J, Battle, who is pursuing c ursd ti past-graduate study in duattge&nd literature, readarchol- 13 aud tastf-ful paper on th, "Sa- it 1 iud rJjmae, tne njmrs 01 tne uonks in mbd reval times, fie mani- sted a la-g' acquaintance with this iind of literature a- d a critical ap preciation of its ricbnetF, its power, ts sweetness, its melon v, its respon siveness to the longing of humanity. I'he 4 DieB Irae," tb '-Elafcat Mater," the "Veni, Sancte Spirhus," the "Ve ni, Creator Spiritus," the Pe Deum," the "De Cohtemptu Mundi" and other great hymns, whose English transla tions now thrill the harr. in all churches, were condition d historically and critically by; Mr. Battle, with brief, but appreciative sketches of their authors, wne? known. Some of the hymns were rea I with fine effect in the original and some in English translation. Prof. W. D. Toy discussed the "In fluence of Luther's Translation of the Bible." The character and attain ments of Lather, the condition of the German language and its literature at that period, the history of the translation, the wonderful simplicity, beauty and power of the translation and its influence in moulding diverse dialects into one rich and strong lit erary language, were a few of the points In this striking paper. Some points of difference between Luther's German and the literary German of to day were noted; and ihe Professor rendered with much power the Ger man version of the Lord's prayer. One, of the most valuable and in teresting contributions to the pro gram was by tne ttev. lieo. is. lay lor, pastor of the baptist church in the village. He discussed the dif ferent versions of the Bible, their corrections,; their history, thjtr in fluence, their peculiar merits and de fects. The Biblical manuscripts were described; their age, relative value, authenticity, name?, perpetuation and present habitat. The canons of criti cism applied to the interpretation of manuscripts and of doubtful passages were well explained and the growth for science of criticism was pointed out. Altogether the paper was an earnest, pious and scholarly plea for the accurate and truthful interpreta tion of the word of God according to the best lights of scholarship and of criticism. The Rev. Dr. Thos. Hume, Jr., read a paper on tne "1 rue JLJaeis or our Bible or ; the "Anglo baxon, the Wvcliffite and the Tyndile Versions " It is impossible to do justice to this learned, comprehensive and scholarly paper by attempting to make of it any sort of summary. I will only mention a few of the subjects con sidered: "The absence fqr centuries of any Bible except the Latin among our Anglo Saxon ancestors; the me trical rendering of Cadmon; fugitive translations of various Pslams; the Venerable Bede's supposed transla tion of St. ; John's Gospel; the Para phrase of Aelfric; John Wycliffe and his co -ad ju tors, the first translators into English of the entire Bible; Tyn- dale's Version." Critical comparisons in grammatical structure, ia me taphor, in style and power, were made between the ancient Anglo-baxon, the Wvclifnte and the Tyndale versions. and their relative influence upon the King James Version was skilfully anal j zed and explained. The paper illustrated every pbrase and mode of critical treatment and was a splendid discussion of an im- mortal supjecc. a. . 1 1 -T- Ur Chrebi Today. Cbuich of the Good Shephera .".-jv W. m. Clark.

IRON THE LOSJ E3TIM4 ID AT TWO HCNDSID TBOtJSAKD r LLAES THE PLANT wil: bebkbuilt. v By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Clevelakd, Ohio., Dec. 8 Three- quarters of the large ship-bnildicg plant of the Globe Iron vVotEf, on West River Street, in this city, was destroyed by fire this morniog. The burned portion of tbe ship yard was 700 feet in length and 200 in width, and contained $100,000 worth of valuable machinery. Besides the ehop buildings and stock consumed by the names, the office was gutted and val uable models and drawings, tno ac cumulation of vears, we e ruined. Four large steel veatels in process of construction were upon the stocks within a few feet of the burning building, but the ships were saved from damage. Tbe loss is approxi mately fixed at $200,000 and it is probably covered by insurance. A thousand workmen were employed in tbe ship-yard and they will resume their work Monday. The rebuilding of the plant will begin as soon as the insurance is adjusted. (hat a to in Senatorship. VJharlcKe Chronicle. The Senatorial fight in North Car olina is growing very hot. At this writing, from the most impartial in vestigation, the situation seems to be about as folio we: Senator Rameom is a candidate for re-election. He is opposed by Alfred M. Waddell. The friends of Thomas J. Jarvis are push ing him forward in the race. Capt. Sid B. Alexander is being presented by a large number of prominent pa pers and people. Capt. Alexander has not himself taken any part in the race. The friends of Gov. Jarvis are mak ing a vigorous nght lor mm. xney claim that 49 votes are already pledg ed tq him, and that 29 who oppose Senator Ranbom are unpledged. As many as 30, have expressed themselves openly for Capt. Alexander. Col. Waddell has surprised tbe friends of Got. Jarvis, in their canvass, for they have found as they freely admit, that the Colonel has far greater e.re .gth than they dreamed of. Gov. Jarvis sailed from Rio de Janero on the 12th of November. He reaches Washing ton on the 15th inst , when he will resign as minister to Brszil. Al though he himself has made no an nouncement of being a. candidate, it ia certain that his friends are making a most active canvass in his behalf The magnitude of ithe Jarvis strength may be imagined from the fact that the Ex-Grovernor is receiving tbe al most undivided support of the Meth odists. .The claim is made by persons who are opposing senator Ransom that a canvass of the leg. stature demon strates that a majority are opposed to the Senator's re-election, and they claim that it is about certain that he will be defeated; that he if, in point of fact, already defeated. In Charlotte, the feeling, of course, is divided between Ransom and Alex ander. It is not regarded here that Capt. Alexander is a candidate, and therefore theeeliog has been almost unanimous in lavor of Ransom. The Chronicle heard a. prominent demo crat say recently that he would bet two to one that Ransom will win hands down. The Chronicle asked Capt. Alex&n der if he were a candidate for the Senate, just before he left for Missis sippu He said he would not try to defeat senator Ransom; but that 11 a majority, of the legislature proved to be against the Senator, the contest would be open to theHeid, and "in that case, he saw no reason to believe teat any contestant had a priority or preemption claim. Shoula Capt. Alexander under con tingencit-s permit his name to be used, there is no doubt it would prove a power m tbe caucus, capt. Alexander is the only man spoken of fromjtbU section for the Senatorship; aud in case he runs, be would scarcely be opposed in the West; certain) y he would have no competitor from bis section. t n . at D.

From Kunkel's Musical Review. Some years ego, before Kunkel Brothers had abandoned the piano business to devote their entire ener gies to their publications, they had in their warerooms, side by side, a number of Kranich & Bach and Stein- way pianos. Struck by the great j similarity of tone in tbe two makes the brothers began a series of experi ments. Whenever a well known mu sician came in he was asked whether ne couia tell tne dtuurence between a Steinway and a Kranich & Each, sim- ply by listening to the twoTbe an swer was almost invariably in the affirmative. Then the musician would be asked to look out of the window. One of the Messrs. Kunkel would then play some brif selection upon all the pianos of the two makes, and as each was touched the listener would call out the name (of the ma ker. The guesses were quite as often wrong as right, and in many cases the same instrument was played, upon two or more times and assigned in turn to the two makers. There was not one musician of any prominence in St. Louis who was not caught, as those who had been unsuccessful brought others and tried the experi ment upon them. The editor of the Review, though not a "Drominent! musician," thought he had a orettv good ear and tried his luck with the ' A. J rest, only to bo convinced at last that he did not know as much as he had supposed. There was one man, how ever, and he was blind as a bat, who never made a m stake. Again and again he was tried but as soon as he was placed at the piano and played a few notes he unerringly called out, as tbe case might be '-bteinway or Kranich & Bach." It is to be noted that he always insisted upon trying the pianos himself, claiming that the touch of another could not guide him a9 well as his own, and as he was totuliy bund and could not see the stencilled name of the manufact urers, this was thought to be perfect ly safe. The Messrs. Kunkel and the other experiment era wondered at the acuteness cf hearing or of touch that enabled the blind man to detect, without ever failing, differences which eluded tbe grasp .of those who were undoubtedly nis superiors in most re spects. .One a ay, while experiment ing with him for perhaps the fiftieth time, Mr. Charles Kunkel noticed that before he began to play the blind fellow felt the ends of one or two of the black keys. At that time Kranich & Bach finished the ends of the black keys with sharp corners, while the Stein ways finished them somewhat round. A light began to dawn upon the observer which became broad day light when tbe proceeding was re peated each time our Mind seer sat at a different instrument. Nothing was said however, but the next order that went from Kunkel Brothers to Kranich & Bach, requested 10 finish the black keys precisely like Stem- way 'p. This was done (and we be lieve Kranich & Bach have continued to finish their black kejs in that stjle ever since). Soon after these pianos arrived the blind hero appeared upon the Bcene and in the presence of several visitors averred that he could always tell a Steiuway from any other piano and was led the rounds. This time, ail the pianos in the wareroom were Stein way s. The ill suppressed laughter of the cn'ockerj soon warned our gueseerj teat something was rong, and when at laet he was told of his mistakes and was charged with the little trick of having told in pre vious trials not by the tone cr the regulation of the action, but by the finish of the keys, ha laughingly ac knowledged 1 he deception practiced by him upon the "smarties'l who could see as well as hear, but, said be : ; (ientlemen, there is one way in which even a blind man can tell the difference between a btemway and a Kranich & Bacb, an infalliable way. "Well, what is nT ' "Will youftrtat if I tell! "But whai if your test is not in fallible ?" "Then I'll treat the crowd " "And who shall be the judge '-"Wfcv, a majority of those pres ent." One cf the listners accepted. the offer. 'Well," drawled the blind musican, "you can always tell by the price asked !" The test was recognized as infallible it is probably the only one and the blind man got his treat. He held a seductive-looking piece of jewelry in his hand as he kept calling 'only 25 cnts and did you ever see any thing so cheap : " V es, ' roared one or the crowd "Dr. Bull's Bby Syrup is the cheapest and best remedy known for children." Prevention is better "han cure, and Laxador ia the best preventive of dis eases known. It is used, approved and recommended by myriads of people throughout the land. It only costs 25 cents.
