A destructive blaze swept Nashville Tennessee on Sixth Street razing about twenty buildings. The entire area was consumed with estimated losses between twenty to thirty thousand dollars. About ten thousand dollars is insured.
A fragmentary excerpt presents Joseph C. Nout noted as a Charcoal Sketcher in a fretful monologue about death, fear, and the limits of medicine. It shifts to a sensational parody about getting a full suit of clothes through a junk route and a patriotic wartime tribute to Mrs Bourdette, described as brave and valued for her care of the wounded. It closes with a long supply of Civil War era anecdotes, including Pulaski county volunteers, elderly men seeking service, and a tale of English fortunes and New Castle winds.
