Gin Burned.
FAIR HAVEN. Nov. 3. j.

FAIR HAVEN, Nov. 3, 1881.
This morning between one aud two
o'clock the gin house of Harris Tysor
caught fire and was soon consumed
The gin was run by water power, ana
the water has been too low { sJn and
Grind at same time, until last night the
river took a rise from Sunday ; ram

was run through except a small basket
full, IN which was hidden the little de
mon -match. The last basket full was
emptied and in an unexpected moment
the flames from the lint room rushed
IN stairs where Mr.. rysor had the risk
of 5000 lbs. seed cotton and A. Dow /
400 or ,, 500 lbs. The gin was a new
Georgia gin. cost $3.50 with Scoheld
press connected which cost $50. The
loss is very heavy on Mr.. Tysor, and he
has some friends who will regret very
much to learn Of this one of his many
misfortunes.
This is the fifth time he has met
with similar losses by fire. In May,
1851. his mills valued at about 3, 900
were burned By an incendiary. Ia Sep
TENDER, 1851, his barns and stables,
corn cribs, with all his wheat and for
age. wagons. buggieS, &c, were burned
by the same hand, it is believed. In
September. 1864, his barns were again
burned bv the deserters-this barn was
new and said to be the best in the u
ty IA very spacious and costly building.
At the time cf its burning 1t contained
a newly threshed crop Of wheat. with
straw. chaft. &c. The cattle were IL
the lot around the barn and were SO
badly burned that the hide on then
backs pealed of, and | believe some OF
them died from the burns. Demons,
indeed, not to have opened the gate
and let the poor dumb brutes escape
Both the barns contained good thresh
ing machines and the mill contained
seventy FIVE pounds of -four and a guam
tity of grain. Mr. Tysor's losses hav,
indeed been sufficient to discourage The
most sanguine but not SO with him
With a strong constitution and an IN
parallelled resolution he has worked
steadily or, ever trusting In the good
ness otthe God he worships.
n. B. Tysor, son of II. Tysor, wa
feeding the gin when the fire occurred
f and barely made good his escape from
the burning building, having to pass b.
the lint room door, through the flames
A negro boy was up stairs waiting OF
Mr.. Tysor and refused to dash through
the flames until Mr.. Tysor returDec
and with a shutter partially shut oft tn
flames till the boy could get out. PEG
pie should be more cautious how the
use matches.
Some time in 1890 or 1910 his dwell

horSe-Thief at Large.

On Tuesday morning, a week ago,
Jim Sinclair, a well dressed white man,
hailing from Durham, and stopping al
the Morgan House 10 this place in
Company with Several commercial
drummers, hired a fine horse and new
buggy for a couple OF days TO visit Col.
4. j. Mcqueen, at Red Bluff. in the
lower part of this county. aud was TO
return Wednesday evening. He did
not however. and it was not until Sat
urday that any suspicious were aroused
concerning his protracted absence. On
that day intelligence reached Mr.. LIE
Gett, proprietor Of the Morgan House
stables, from whom the horse and bug
gy had been hired. that said Jim Sin
clair had been seen a couple of DAYS be-
fore going in the direction Of Marion.
). &. Whereupon. Mr.. Morgan, early
sunday morning, started III pursuit OF
the thief and trace! him to Marion.
On arriving there h, was informed that
Sinclair had beeu there and had sold
the turnout to Mr.. s. +. Whitehart for
$50, but that he had left town the
day before, but no one knew whittier
be had gone. Mr.. Morgan then
waited on Mr.. Whiteheart and recov
cred the horse and buggy, and, after
telegraphing a description OF the thief
to the chief of police in several towns
and cities, ordering his arrest, returned
to this place. Sinclair is a compare
lively young man, about ) TT. s inches
tall, well dressed and has red side whis-
kerS. \ reward Of S25 has been offer
ed for his apprehension and arrest.
The same expert Is also susplcloned
as the thief who robbed a drummer OF
a fine gold watch the morning before
his "Trip with the horse and buggy. The
circumstances are as follows: The gen.
tlcman who owned the watch had beer
up town with ''some ofthe jolly fellows
and returning to the hotel a %''ittle
sick sat down on the stair case and
went to sleep. At the request of the
proprietor he was removed to his room
by Sinclair and a fellow drummer, the
latter returning to the office immedl'
ately, leaving Sinclair in the room with
the unconscious sick man. In a few
minutes Sinclair came down stars, ate
an early breakfast, and a few minutes
thereafter hired the above mentioned
horse and buggy and left town. About
10 o'clock the sick man aroused from
his slumber and missing his watch re
ported the fact to Mr.. Rivenbark, the
landlord. On learning the particulars
as to how and by whom ne was put tt
bed, aud that Sinclair had since gone tC
Red Bluff, the sick man of course
suspicioned that Sinclair had taker
his watch In company with a frienc
!. he followed the supposed thief, over
/, taking him at Col. McQueen's. Afte.
) stating to Sinclair the object of thell
!, pursuit, he readily agreed to having hi
!. person investigated to convince tn
, gentlemen that they had suspicioneC
, the wrong man. The watch was no
found, and has not been yet. 1t is
, however, believed that Sinclair stole 1t

Those Rebel Bonds.

A totally different theory of the rush
is given in the London World, namely,
that it is based on a belief in the lIabill-
ty of the United States to the bond
holders for taking possession OF the
cotton on the strength of which the
Confederate cotton loan was secured
1t is claimed that this money was not
lent for political reasons, but In order
to get at the cotton for business pur-
poses: that The loan was made after
taking the highest legal opinion that 1t
would effect a legitimate lien on the
cotton and that when the United
| States seized the cotton, they did Sc
subject to all existing agreements based
on it. Lord Hatherley is claimed a:
one of the legal authorities tor thu:
view. -.
But on the very statement of thu
case, it appears that the legal opinions
ON which the money was advanced wert
given many years ago; so that 1t Is dit
6cult to see how it should start a bono
boom now. Hence some people have
been driven to a third supposltlon
namely, that the rush is the fruit OF
well prepared scheme, such as not In
frequently starts even the most hope
less securities.
Whatever the key tt the affair, no
body should base his belief in the valu
of the bonds on any suppositlon tina
either the United States or any South
ern State will recognize and pay ther
as a Southern war debt; for the las
part of the fourth section of the toul
teenth Amendment to the Constitute
settles that matter as follows:
! But neither the United States nc
/ any State shall assume or pay any deb
or obligation incurred in aid OF insurre'
= ton or rebellion against the Unite
2 States. or any claim for the loss
emancipation of any slave; but all sue
e debts, obligations, and claims shall
+, void"

What seemed like = commonplace
drunken row, except that 1T ended IN
q homicide, occurred a year ago IN a
ST. Louis saloon. Horace B. Vail went
into the place in the course OF aspree.
Edward Tremaine, the keeper. was
behind the bar. His wife, a young and
pretty mi sat doing at a table,
for it was past midnight, and only q
knot Of hummers were there. Mrs.
Tremains engaged Vail in converse
ton. and induced him to buy a drink
for her. Then Tremaine became loud
in declarations of jealousy, a fight en-
sued. and Vail was killed by a piste
shot. Tremain was tried, and acquit
ted on the gound Of self-defence. The
truth now comes out land Iremalne
safely confesscs, for it, for he can never
be tried again after the ac9ulttal
that he wa. a hired assassin. Vail stood
in the way of an important business
scheme. and Tremaine agreed to Kill
him for $500. The anger and Jealous,
were mere pretence, the fight being
forced upon Val, who defended him
self so desperately that the plea Of self
defence was easily sustained, with TIN
aid of a very little perjury, IN behal
