On Tuesday night as Governor Hampton
was passing Bolton on the train, salutes

anvils were used for that purpose, and after

of them striking a celored man standing

about the place short time before the fire
was discovered. The perpetrator of this
outrage ought to be ferreted out. II would
be good instance in which to apply the
new law of hanging for arson.
