FRE Our people were startled by
the cries Of fire fire ! about three
o'clock Thurday morning Everybody
asked-"Where Is II 7" aud kept
moving In the direction of the light In
the East, II proved to be the Grange
Hall building, opposite the railroad
station, The second story Of the build
Ing was occupied by the Changers as
place Of meeting the ground floor
was occupied by G. Il, Woodruff
as country store, and carried large
stock Of goods, he having put in ear
load Of kerosene only the day before,
The Woodstock Bakery, by II. W,
Hoadley, was located at the end Of the
main building. The Grange building
and tho Bakery were burned down
before any resistance to the flames
could be effected, and the old school
house or Moses Sherburno mansion
was also nearly destroyed. The
Jacob Anderson house still further
east was In iminent danger and Il was
thought at one time il "must Co."
The engines got to working, tho hook
and ladder company arrived { y and

house might have been saved II the

surance s25O0; c. L. Woodruff, loss
sll00, insurance $4,000; II. W.
Hoadlcy, loss $1,000, insurance 5000;
Moses Shcrburno, loss S400, no in
surancc. This is hard on "Mosc,"
but he has nobody crying for bread.
The light from the fire was first dis
covered in the Grange Hall, but how
it originated remains mystery, as
the hall had not been occupied for
some days previous to the fire.

Interest Oa the State Debt

The following letter has been ad
dressed to Hon. George w. Jones,
in response to an inquiry made by
him with reference to the interest on
the State debt: -
NASHVILLE, May rs, 1SS1.-Hon. G
w. Jones, Fayetteville-Dear Sir
In reply to your favor, of the 21st
inst, addressed to Colonel Polk, who
is now in New York, will endeavor
to give you statement of the inter-
est question, as I understand it. The
interest ON the public debt up to and
including Jan. /, 1866, was funded
into bonds to the extent of about
S4,941,O00. (This includes war in
terest.') From July 1, 1866, to Jan.
1, 1869 (both inclusive), the interest
was paid in cash. All interest from
July /, 1869, to Jan. 1, 1874 (both in
clusive), was funded into bonds under
the act of 1873. The interest falling
due July l, 1874, Jan. l and July l,
1875, was paid in cash. Interest ac>
cruing since then is still unpaid.
Should there be any outstanding
coupons of date prior to 1873, /
suppose it must be subject to be
funded into the new bonds.
A writ of injunction just having
been granted by Hon. j. J, Williams,
was served on the comptroller yes
terday. he being the only member OF
the funding board in the city, en-
joining the board fran carrying out
the provisions of tue 1908 bill. l
know not the programme likely to
be pursued by the board.
Ii there is any further information
l can give you, it will give me plea"
| sure to do SO.
Very respectfully,
j. G.. FLEMING, Clerk.

The interest felt in the fight now
progressing in New York between
Mr.. Conkling and the Administra-
ton is illustrated by the sensational
rumors which prevail daily and
hourly. First, it is asserted that
Conkling and Plat will not be CAM
didates. Then it is asserted that
Garfield is perfectly willing that they
should be elected. Then follows a
rumor that Governor Cornell will
antagonize Conkling. One of the
latest is that Vice President Arthur
has been grossly abused by MIR.
Conkling. None of these rumors are
true, perhaps, but it shows the ex>
element at Albany to be at a white
heat. The balloting begins next
Tuesday, and the fight will be a
bitter one, The newspapers will be
eagerly read and the whole country,
Republicans and Democrats alike
