that Mr.. Hickman is a member of Nelson

Total Destruction of the Ada He'll
man-Nashville Men the Losers.
The following is copy of dispatch re-
ceived here yesterday morning about s
o'clock:
"To John Z. Massingale or c. II.
Arthur: Heilman burned. She is a total
loss. The fire originated in the eookhOuse.
FOWLER, LEE & Co."
The Ada Heilman was owned by Messrs.
Arthur and Massingale, each having half
interest, and was valued at $4,000. She
was built at Evansville three
years ago by Capt. Scott and
John Sinzich at a cost of $4,000, and
was purchased by MeSsrs. Arthur Il MasSin-
gale in February, 1873, at an outlay Of
$4,000. Since that time she has made, in
all, sixty=eight trips, only one Of which was
improbable. She was one of the finest
crafts that ever nayigated the Cumberland.
The loss is very serious to the owners,
though the steamer was partly insured in
Cincinnati offices. Capt. Arthur and Mr.
MaSsingale left for Paducah last night by
the Northwestern road.
