A Narrow Escape From Fire. On Sunday last, the pulpit of St. Thaddcus church was filled by Mr Dowling of Toronto Canada, who preached a most eloquent sermon on charity taking a* his text the first three ve*>es of that great psalm of love, the IStli chapter of the first Epistle to the Corinthians. He dwelt im*Bt earnestly upon the necessary foundation in a Christian’s character of that charity, or love that prompts him to sacrifice himself for the good j of others. That, without such love all the other Christian graces profit notiiing. Love is the fulfilling of the iaw. He applied these remarks finally to th present season, as one devoted most particularly by the Episcopal church to humiliation, and sell sacrifice. Altogether his sermon was an impressive one, and gave his hearers much to think about. Last Wednesday is known in the Episcopal. Greek, and Roman ehurh- esasAsh Wednesday; being the first day of the season of Lent, and is so named from the ancient practice of strewing ashes on the heads of peni tent members of the congregations on Between 2 and 3 o’clock on Thurs day morning last, some of the occu pants of the York Street School build ing, which is used as a dwelling as well as for school purposes, were awakgnd from their peaceful slum bers by smoke coming into their roam. They gave the alarm and aroused the whole house, when it was discovered that the building was on fire. The fire was burning in a small closet un der a stairway that fed from the din ing room up to the ell running hack from the main building. Had it been allowed five minutes longer lo burn, the flames would have made such headway that it would have been impossible to save the liouse. Fortunately a barrel of water was sitting within four feet of the fire, and it was used to subdue the flames. A general alarm was sent out and a few responded in time to help put out the fire. All the wood-work in the closet was badly charred, and the fire bad eaten its way through the stair steps in two or three places. The origin of the fire is not definitely known, hut there are suspicious circumstances which point verj strongly to the guilty party. There was no fire-placa in the room, but a stave stands ut the opposite end of the dining room from where the fire broke out, aud at 11 o’clock t hat night there was no fire in it. Hence the impression prevails that it was incendiary. If a siiarp detective was employed to work up this case, no doubt h*e would bring that day.- This custom has long since been abolished in the Episcopal j |J!I. 8 r porf church, but still remains in vogue in | o P > ‘ • the Greek, and Roman churches.

The Nashville and Charleston Railway Company has been moxing quietly but with expedition. The company was organized to build a railroad from Nashville to Charleston The road strikes Southeast from Nashville across the Cumberland plateau, thence across the Valley of East Tennessee, thence totlie waters of the little Tennessee, thence with said river for some distance,finallv passing out of the State at Rabun Gap aud thence to tide water at Charleston. We can announce most positively that the road will be built. The com pany which is hacking it is one of the moat powerful ever organized in tliiseotin try it has' both English and American capital behind it. Among its American hackers is Mr. R. G. Dun. of Dun's commercial agency. The company does not ask a dollar of assistance from any source. No city, no county is asked to assist it. Some months since four or five corps of engineers were put in the field to survey a route for the road. The work bus been done quietly but thoroughly and the survey has been made from Nashville tc the coast country. The original survey was not made by way of Knoxville. The company has now determined to come by way of our city. Just what route will be followed is not yet defi nitely known, lint it is an absolute certainty that the road will come to Knoxville. The original surve.\ crosses the East Tennessee at or near Sweetwater. Th* company has done no talking but has been working. More than $109,000 has been expended in sur veys and other preparatory work. Tlie road, as stated, will follow the Little Tennessee Riversonie distance. A corps of engineers will locate this part of the road in a few days. A start will be made from a point some where near Nile’s Ferry, near the Southern boundary of Blount county, and about 45 miles from where 1. ca ed. Tl li work will be done during the next mouth. It will very soon after be let to contract. This will carry the road nearly to Rabun Gap. MAVERICK MILLS COMPANY COTTON SPINNERS, CHAIN WARPS AND HOSIERY YARNS.
