Catalogue of Ihe University.
The catalogue of the University
for 1891-'92 is a very handsome and
readable publication. During the
year past there were 218 students, a
gain of 50 over the year before Of
these 55 were students of law and
18 of medicine and pharmacy,
There were 27 students who were
graduates o colleges and were pur
suing advanced, or special, or pro
fessional courses; of these, two were
graduates of Davidson College; two
of Wake Forest, two of Guilford, one
of the University of New Bruswick,
and twenty of the University of
North Carolina. The most popular
lar course of tndy seems to be the
"Course irr Philosophy" wfiich re
quired Latin but not Greek. There
w.v, 5.7 students of Greek. There
f f V V. w
were nine students in engineering.
We are glad to observe that six
brief courses of study have been es
tablished for young men ho aie
not ablcto spend four year3 at the
University. These briff courses
give special preparation for busi
nes?, for- farming, for teaching, for
journalism, for the study of law and
for the study of medicine.
The University ha3 21 teachers
and 11 buildings. The entire ex
pense for education may be reduced
t6 200 a year. Tuition costs $00.
There are about fifty scholarships
granting free tuition. Any deserv
ing young man can get help. Those
who are interested in education are
advised to write for a catalogue to

Terrific Explosion ami Fire In Penn
sylvania. papers with its horrors. This state
ciVnlun; inters is Vgam visited
with u horacaust of death. he
STews and Observer of the Cth says:
A. terrific explosion of gasoline
occurred at Oil City, Pa., resulting
U fearful low of life and property.
There wa3 a terrific explosion and
the air fri filled with flames. This
was quickly followed by two other
explosions. The men thought hell
had Uroken loose on earth, and they
were not apparently very far out of
the wsy. Three gasoline tanks had
exploded almost at the same time.
The oil on the crick blamed up, the
gas in the air burst into roaring
flaaie and sheets of water; laud and
air were all literally ablaze. Meu,
women and children were knocked
prostrate by the shock, and many
never arose. The multitude fled,
with screams of anguish, for higher
grounds. In the rush many of the
weak were trampled upon and badly
injured. Flames in the air quickly
burned out, but they left huge vol
umes of black smoke across the face
of the heavens beneath which reared
the fierce fire of burning oil upon
the water. Many submerged houses
and shops along the creek bottom
were soon in flames, and the silent
lire of blazing gas wa3 succeeded by
the crackling flame3 of burning
home:?.' In many of these houses
people were confined. 'They could,
riot escape for the fire.
They were in sight of thousands
who heard their piteous screams.
They burned to death or leaped into
the river and there perished by both
Hood and fire. Such a combination
of destruction by the two terrible
elements were seldom witnessed upon
this earth. It ij marvelous that
from this valley of death any were
saved alive. It is strange that out
of this mingling of fire and Hood
any houses were saved.
At 2.30 o'clock p. m. a 2,500 bar
rel tank at Thomas' refinery in
the upper part of the town of Titus
Yille, caught fire and the burning oil
is running down through the devas
tated district endangering such
properly as was saved. .
Mayor Hunt places the number of
deaths in Oil City alone at 150.
Sixty three be tics were gathered in
the temporary morgue today. Many
people are missing. A number Cf
bodie3 floated'away on the Hood, and
manyofth5se rescued alive from

AVitnessed the game of ball between
Charleston and Charlotte, on Tnes
dav. The score stood o to 3 in fa
vor of Charlotte. It wag a sorry
game, not even eual to that played
by an old-field school nine. Had
the umpire been au umpire, Charles
ton's score may have reached 17 cr
20. YTith an umpire like they had
and a crowd of pullers, rattlers and
3 or 4 parties worse than mobs, the
Charlotte team ought to beat any
thing in the world. Nine 'men can
be chosen men who make no pre
tentious who could beat the back 3
off of Charlotte, provided a just urn-1
pire was in it. We quite agree with
the Chariot) Observer that their!
team "con1' beat a carpet." 'j
