n FEARFUL SCENE -Geor.e's. s. c.,
Walkers was burgiarously entered on Mon
day and aquantity OF household goods was
stolen Certain suspicious circumstances
led to tn arrest yesterday afternoon of Bili
Williams, colorcd. who confessed his par
ticipation in the crime. and in private c,n-
versation with Mr.. Walkers implicated two
other negroes named Joel Frederick and
Muses. Cain. Williams was taken to Reeves
willie and lodged in the gulrdhouSc at clcv-
en- o'clock last night to await an examination
before Trial Justise Applcby this morning,
at which it was understood h. promised to
publicly reveal taenames Of his accomph-
cCS.
At two O'Clock a. m. the citizens of the
town were aroused by the most agonzng
cries of distress, and soon discovered that
the guardhousc was in fumes \ large
crowd collcct ed around the burning building,
but the fire had already gained such head,

The unfortunate prisoner in the upper
story, maddcncd by the knowledge Of his
impending fate, glarcd wildly between the
iron bars of the only window to the room
ut the men below and shouted pitcously for
assistance. He was, however, beyond the
reach Of human aid, and in short time
the buldin: was entirely consumed.
This morning Il heap cf ashes, in which
burning Goals still .istcncd. and the charrcd
r,mains of Bill Williams told the tale OF
the terrible tragedy. Evidently th" fire was
of inrcndary ori-in, and the opinion is
freely expressed that Frederick and Cain,
fearing the anticipated confession Of Nil,
li'mS, decided to destroy the only living
witness az inst them. The suspected par
ties will be arrested -Ne,cs anil COuyirr.

Shipherd Positively Refuses to Produce
Papers and Evidence Called For.

The house committee on foreign affairs met in
secret session at 10 o'clock this morning and re-
sumed the discussion which, up to the hour of
their adjournment yesterday afternoon, had failed
to bring about any agreement relative to the
method and scope OF the investigation.
sHIPHERD AND HIS BAG, OF DOCUMENTS
Mr.. Shipherd arrived shortly before II O'Clock
with hand bag, said to contain numerous docu.
ments and a prepared statement covering so pages
or more.
Twenty or thirty representatives of the press in
cluding an artist for one OF the New York Illus
r ated papers, waited fmpatentfy in the corridors
1Or the opening OF the door.
sHIPHERD DECLINES TO FURNISH EVIDENCE.
At twenty-five minutes past eleven o'clock the
doors were opened and the witness Shipherd, hav-
Ing taken his seat. the chairman addressed him as
follows: ''The committee on foreign affairs is d
rected by the House TO demand from you copies Of
all correspondence between yourself and any per-
son or persons whomsoever, and all papers and
other evidences in your possession tending to
show what you did, or attempted to do. to enforce
the claim OF the Peruvian company. or to induce
the United States to enforce this claim against
mentS here called fOr?'
Mr.. Shipherd.-'T am netn
and will you furnish, all papers and other evidence
In your possession tending to show what you did,
to do to enforce the claim Of the Pc
Mr. Ship herd" win not"
The Chairman.-" Do you positively decline to
produce the papers and evidences called for 2"
Mr.. Shfpherd-"I do"
The Chairman" What is the further Measure
OF the cOmmittee?"
Mr.: Rice.-''I move that we 90 into executive ses-
SiOn."
AN EXECUTIVE SESSION AND ITS RESULT
The motion was agreed to, the room was cleared,
and the committee went into private consultation.
After about ten minutes the doors were opened
and it was learned that the committee had agreed
10 inform the sergeant-at-armS that it had no
further need for the attendance OF Mr.. Shipherd
and that he might be discharged until further no
tl11catlon. No time was fixed for any future meet
ing OF the committee in regard to the Chili-Pe
Wan matter.
FUTURE COURSE OF THE COMMITTEE.
The House committee on foreign affairs will
hold another secret session at 10 O'Clock to-mor-
row morning. There ts much speculation as to
the future action of the committee in regard to
Mr.. Shipherd. 1t was believed that the COM
mittee before putting to Mr.. shipherd the alterna-
tive questions this morning, had decided-in the
event OF his positive refusal to produce the re-
quired correspondence-tO report him to the
House as in contempt OF its mandates. Their
subsequent instructions to the Sergeant-at-arms
10 discharge him has given rise to belief in some
quarters that the recent decision in the Hallett
kiibourne case has led the committee to doubt the
expectancy OF proceeding to extreme measures
1t is learned that the committee have decided to
summon eX-ASS1stant Secretary OF State Robert
X. Hit as a witness.
