at the rear of Mr.. ]. P. Dukes resi-
deuee, No, 66 Mulberry street, between
Linden and Pontotoc streets, a FIRE broke
out. The stable was Of frame aud on
tanned a quantity of hay. 1t burned
very rapidly, and was entirely destroyed
with its contents, including a fac mare
valued at $500, The FIRE brigade was
promptly on hand, but the flames spread
so rapidly that nothing could be done in
time to save the stable, The Gre was
evidently the work Of an iucendiary, as
no light had been used about the stable

This merning AZ an early hour, before
y was fairly light, an old man was found
dead on the sidewalt a few steps this
side of the Mississippi and Tennessee
depot. His money aud effects were
found on his person uudisturbed, so that
1t was evident that he died from natural
causes. The body was taken 10 Holst's,
where it wa recognised as that of a Mr..
Smith, a man eighty-six years of age,
from Keokuk, Iowa, who has been
here a week or more selling
Masonic lodge room furniture. It seems
that he was a Mason of very high rank,
and was we'll known to some of the fra
ternity here. Some of the leading Ma
sons took charge OF the remains and
effects this morning, and telegraphed to
Keokuk for Instructions as to what dis.
possl to make OF them. Mr.. Smith had
started to the depot to 20 to Mississippi.
His trunk was already at the depot, and
1t is supposed that he fell dead from
heart disease as he was walking along.
An inquest was held by Coroner Britt

A Strange Case.

Thursday night Mr.. A. G. M. Sylvester the
postmaster at Oak Hill, was awakened in the
night by man who asked to be put up for the
night. Ga going to the window he recognized
the man as one Files whom he knew quite well.
He directed him to public couse near by, tell
ing him he could not accommodate him. Files
however plead SO hard that Mr.. Sylvester went
down to the door to admit him. After opening
the door and speaking few wotds Files sud
denly struck him with some heavy weapon and
the blow knocked him insensible. When he
recovered his senses he managed to get into the
house and lock the door, when Files who had
fled at the first blow returned. Marshal Bridges
was notified of the affair and began to look up
the case. Hearing that Files was at Rochester
n. H., he sent policeman after him. There
it was learned he was in Brunswick and by
watching the post Office in that town he was
caught and brought to this city.
The above is the story as told at the police
station after the man had been in custody near
ly twenty-four hours. 1t is strange story to
say the least. If Files object had been rob.
berry why did he leave the man after dealing
him such heavy blow. If his object was muir
der why did he not accomplish what was an
easy task after striking the first blow. If
neither of the above we've his objects why did
he return after giving the man chance to get
INTO the house.
Files, who is under arrest, is about % years
OF age and halls from Great Falls, where he
says he was on Tuesday night. There are sew
eral peculiar circumstances about the whole af-

SIGNIFICANT ACTIONS. other day lit
from the Boston depot which set the neighbors
to wondering what it all meant. The scene of
the action was in we'll known corner grocery
store, and the proprietor and his wife were the
only actors which appeared to view, although
rumOr hath it that third person, of feminine
appearance, was the cause of the trouble. How
this is, probably none but the grocer and his
wife know, for none of them are given to tell
ing family secrets. The merchant lives over
his store, and it is said his wife has an inven-
tion somewhat after the style of telephone by
which she is informed as to what the converse
ton is in the store below. Whether she heard
anything which displeased her on the day in
question is uncertain, but all at once she was
seen flying down stairs with large cleaver in
her hand. Fortunately for her husband, she
was much excited, and when she threw it at
his head it missed the mark and fell with a
heavy thud to the floor. The husband evident
ly thought his wife was not well, for be left his
merchandise and followed her up stairs with no
uncertain step. However her health might
have been when she threw the ceaver, it was
rather poorly after the arrival OF her spouse in
the second story. No one has right to say
that he struck her, for the blinds were closed
and no blow was seen to descend upon her de-
voted head. Blinds will prevent sight, but it is
no hindrance to sounds in general, and in this
case was no exception to the rule. At the
close of the matinee the husband returned to
his groceries, and when the wife of his bosom
appeared to public gaze, wound on her face
told that it was useless to throw cleaver at a
man unless you are certain of hitting the
