+. Willis, of Putnum, Conn, hsS been ar
rested in Providence, Il. l., on the charge
of incendiarism. He is about sixty years
Of age, and bad been deputy United States
marshal and president of an insurance
company. A large block OF stores IN Put
nam was burned June /. The selectmen OF
the town employed detectives, who found
that Willis was interested with Chas. War

the block. The detectives claim to have
tracked Willis to Boston with a gang OF
hank sneak thieves who had stolen some
bonds which they wished him to negotiate.
and while Willis WAS trying TO convince
the thieves that he was worthy of their
confidence, he was overheard in an adloin-
ing apartment by the detectives and III, r.

Cases and Deaths for the

TRYING TO CHECK THE DISEASE

PENSACOLA, September 9-Thirty.three
new cases OF fever and four deaths have
been bulletined by the Board of Health
during the past twenty-four hours. The
fever shows no signs of sbating. The peo.
pie, in the face OF an almost entire suspen.
sion of business and the severe pecuniary
losses thereby entailed, are holding I'D
with courage that is quite remarkable
when IL Is considered that hundreds of
them are newcomers and consequently un-
aCclimated. There was until noon yester-
day buOyant feeling that the beginning
OF the end of the plague had come, but
when case after case was bulletined at the
office Of the Board of Health there was
great reyulsion, but no panic. The press.
ing need is nurses Of trained experience.
The secretary of the Relief Association re-
ports that there had been a greater demand
for nurses than they have been able to sup
ply by volunteers, and they have no funds to
pay nurses, nor TO purchase apparently
essential supplies. The committee hopes,
however, for a generous response to the
appeal telegraphed through the Associated
Press last night. IL fever continues to ex-
tend we will have to send to New Orleans
FOE practical nurses. The atmosphere to-
day is much cooler than usual, and some
alarm is felt as the effect OF the weather

CAMBRIDGE, ND, September 10.-Thei
States attorney has received, since yester-
days dispatches were sent, more accurate
information from several members of the
jury who inquired into the death of the
boy Hurst at Secretary creek. The jury
exonerated the father of all blame as to the
cause of the death, which was decided to
have been accidental. The boy was picked
up for the purpose of Furnishing him for
disobedience, but slipping from his fathers
arms he fell on his head, death resulting
from conclusion of the brain, as testified
by Drs. Jacob and Jones, of Newmarket.
The exaggerated reports which were first
received here were founded upon the facts
given above.

MARrINsBURG, W. Va, September O.
The late Grafton conference has operated
with the power of enchantment over the
agitated passions of this community. Two
weeks ago, discord and strife marked the
condition Of the Democratic party here.
Angry discussion, harsh language, ugly ep.
ithets and violent vituperation were heard
on all sides. A divided and embittered
press added fuel TO the flames. Now all is
peace, concord and harmony. Our two
leading papers, before at swords point, are
how in accord, and the Democratic party
here is united in its support of Charles ].
Faulkner, jr., as the nominee Of the Pied
mont convention. No hscord is observa-
able among the former supporters OF hoge
and Lucas. All are alike earnest and de-
cided in their support of Judge Faulkner.
His nomination will insure the success of
our county ticket, which would otherwise
be in great danger, and the Eastern Pan
handle will present her usual solid Demo
cratic delegation.

COLUMBUS, September l0.-At midnight
last night number of fires broke out in al
leys within the block bounded by Fourth,
Fifth Town and Rich streets. The stables
of MeSsrs. Graham, Ayres and Goldman
were burned down and other surrounding
them badly damaged. The fire was in a
densely settled block, and quite number
of large buildings were in danger, especi-
ally Cloustcr's Hotel and Houston's Car
riage Works. The blacksmith shop OF the
latter and the stable of the Town-street
House were burned. While the loss will
not exceed 81, 900, the citizens are alarmed
because of its incendiary character. The
fires broke out in several places simulta-
neOuSly, and were studiOusly fired by some
fiends to burn the block. The row of sta
bles were all in a blaze when the depart
ment reached the place, and their efforts to
protect surrounding property succeeded
admirably. During the past week there
have been several incendiary fires, and
fears are entertained of repetition OF the
fire mania that prevailed three years ago.

day night last the house of the station
master at Mechamcstown, Mr.W. A. Ham,
was entered by thieves and money stolen
from bureau drawer IN room occupied
by Mr.. Ham, his wife and three children.
Mr. Ham thinks that some anpsthetic was
used, but this is not very probable, as what
could have affected an adult would have
proved fatal to baby. To enter the room
required boldness, but to throw things from
the drawers all over the floor is an evidence
of awkwardness on the part of the thief
working IN such close quarters and liable
to awaken some one by the slightest rustic.
Mr. Ham reports the amount OF money
taken at something over 800.
