The Forrest City Ere.

Persons arriving in this city this
morning from Forrest City report the
fire there yesterday morning to have
destroyed about $4,000 worth Of
property. The flames kindled in the
unoCcupied Planters hotel, some hours
before daylight and spread with great
rapidity, a fresh wind blowing from
the south at the time, and tanning the
blaze. The hotel belonged to Stewart,
Gwynne & Co., of this city, and was
insured here in the Murphy & Muir
ply agency for $1,000. A room in the
hotel had been occupied by the grand
jury, and they held a session there the
previous day. Some believe the fire
to lave been kindled by evil persons,
while others think it was accidental.
The only insurance known to be on
the property destroyed was that abov
mentioned. A number of stores were
in imminent danger, and a hasty re-
moval of goods followed. These were
more or less injured, and are partially
covered by insurance, a portion of
which is in this city. The loss, how
ever, will be insignificant. The ware
house of Gwynne & Russell, worth
seven or eight hundred dollars, and
containing 200 bags of oats, some salt
and crockeryware, was destroyed.
Their store escaped uninjured.
Thirteen houses in all were burned,
and all on the east side Of Washing
ton street. Besides those named,
othOrS whose property was destroyed
include Mrs. Wolf, Mrs. Davis, Blank
inship & Co., Williams & Co., Han
cock 4 Seaborn, and Prewett
Brothers.

After two days of trial in the

Highway Robbery.

A bold black man struck Mrs.
Taylor in the side with his fist,
yesterday morning as she was going
home from market, grabbed her purse
with $3.50 in it and ran away.
The rascally robbery occurred near
Shelby and Trezevant streets, in broad
daylight, and the scamp is unknown.
Mrs. Taylor held on to her purse
tightly, but the strings broke and it
went with the robber.

A reporter Of this paper last night met
Mr.. NJ. @. Wolf, Western Union Manager
at this city, and proceeded to interrogate
him about his telephone project. Mr..
Wolf has secured the names Of about one
hundred subscribers toward the estab.
lishment OF this convenience in this city
and vicinity. There should be many more
subscribers to It, and doubtless will when
those who are at present ignorant Of its
usefulness become acquainted with 1t. Our
conversation was as follows, and was brief
and to the point.
"Mr. Wolf, what Is tbs present Status Of
your telephone proiect?"
1--WE are booming the thing along asrap.
idly as possible. We have now on hands
an Indianapolis telephone switch board
for fifty wires, and will receive another in
few days. We have also received forty
telephones and will have forty more next
week. We here have twenty-five wire sal
ready on poles ready to be connected with
telephones in streets. We have made ar
rangements for three hundred and seventy.
fiye subscribers and will start out with
one hundred, and in brief, sir, we expect
to have everything in ship shape at the
Central Office 10y the 10Th OF June, and

ABIr Blaze-saw miil burned.

ofIton SentlneI Of yestetuAys
a large saw mill in West Grafton, near
the fair grounds, belonging to Messrs.
Martin & Nealey, took FIRE on Wednesday
night and was completely burned down.
The alarm was sounded about IL O'Clock,
but the FIRE had already made such pro-
gress that no effort co uld save the burning
property. Many willing hands, however,
promptly responded TO the alarm, and by
a noble effort succeeded in saving the
huge piles Of lumber from destruction,
which filed the surrounding yard, and
kept the FIRE confined TO the mill. The
steam saw mill Of Stewart & Donohoe Is To-
Gated q short distance TO the west OF the
one burned, and the pump factory and Its
large saw mill are located just at the east
side, and nothing but the fact that there
was no wind stirring saved three valuable
properties and their stocks OF lumber. II
the machinery Is injured no worse than
now supposed, the loss will not amount 10
over $1,000. There was no insurance.
