Capt. Frank Hicks Country Resi-
dence burnt 90 the Ground
Last Evening.

We are informed by r. s. Bumpus,
ESQ, conductor on the Somerville ac-
commodation train, that the handsome
country residence Of Capt FrHk Hicks,
tweniy-one miles out from the city, on
the Memphis and Charleston railroad,
was entirely destroyed by FIRE during last
night, together with oil the furniture, fix
lures aud personal effects Of the ocou-
pant. Nothing bus the chimneys
were standing when the train passed
the spot this morning, the smoking
mass Of debris around them being all
that was left Of the mansion. The
building was recently erected by the
Captain at a cost Of about $4,000, and
was thoroughly aud elegantly furnished
at the time Of its destruction. The loss,
therefore, will probably fall little, II any,
under $4,000. What insurance, If any
there was on the property, we have been
unable to learn. We are also in ig-
norance as to the origin Of the flames
In addition to the above, Captain Hicks
has also been twice sufferer by fire on
the river within the past twelve months,
being largely interested in steamboat
property.

A SToCK THIEF IN LIMBo.-A day OF
two since a party, giving his name as E.
NJ. Morrison, drove couple of cows into
town and disposed of them to Mr.. N. b.
Beech, respectable citizen residing in
the suburbs. The next day after making
the purchase Mr.. Beech was visited by a
party from the country, who claimed the
COWS as his own, and alleged they had
been driven from his place by thieves
Being assured the countryman's story
was correct, Mr.. B. gave up the stock
and without delay lodged information
of the transaction at police headquarters,
together with description Of the thief,
which lead to his arrest last night. Nor
rison was apprehended by Capt Simons
and will have q hearing before a magis-
trate to-day. He is supposed to be one
of an organized gang of stock thieves
who have operated extensively in the
suburbs and country districts within the
past month or two, and it is expected
that facts will be elected by his exami-
nation which will lead to tho arrest OF his
associates and perhaps the breaking up
of the gang. So may it be.
