A WICKED WENCH,
L. Accused Of Firing the House OF
Her Former Landlord.

Abou, ten o'clock last night the shrill
whistle of the mills On West Main street,
quickly followed by the changing of the fire
bell appraised the people in that vicinity
that there was fire raging not far of. A
bright light was visible short distance
west of the gas works, and soon it was dis
covered that vacant shanty was being
consumed. The fire department was soon
on the ground but the howell was beyond all
hope of salvation when the fire was first
discovered and the alarm sounded.
The shanty belonged to Willis Doane, a
colored man who resides near by, and was
valued by him at 500. He had insurance
to the amount of 500 in F. E. Hofiman's
agency.
Doane, who is an aged colored man, says
that he believes that Lou Howard, col
ored prostitute who formerly occupied the
house, and who was indebted to him in q
small amount for rent, maliciously set fire
to the house, as she was heard TO remark
upon vacating that no one else would evel
live in the house.
The fire was doubtless the work of ar
inceudiary. and the theory advanced by
the owner of the house as to the party
whom he suspects of arson is not at al
without foundation. The matter will bea
investigation by the authorities.

THE BEAMAN SCANDAL.
Tha Latest Information ftom the
Scene OF the Late On
pleasantnees.

From q gentleman residing near Beaman
station, who was in Sedalia yesterday, q
BAzoo reporter learned the following sddi-
tioral particulars in relation to the Fall
Heflin scandal case, which has been referred
to at length in these columns:
Milton C. Fall, who claimed to be the
injured husband, returned to his wife on
Sunday. He now says his reason for leaving
home was the belief that his wife did no,
love him as she should, and, in addition
allowed herself to be Influenced by her
mother, who lived with them.
To obviate this latter trouble, he sent
word to his mother-in-l law that he did moi
care to see her, and her departure at the
earliest possible moment would be agree
able news to him.
In accordance with the wishes expressed
by Fall, the old lady at once vacated hi
house, and is now residing with Mr.
Helm, where she will remain for q few
DAYS and then remove to Lafayette county
In addition to this, he sen
word to his sister, Mrs. HeAin
that he did not care t.
see her again, and a sim
liar message was sent to his brother
in-law, Hehin. The latter, however, wa
not all broken up by the information re
ceived. so returned word to Fall that h
might go to hades-that their likes AM
dislikes were about the same on SOM
things.
Fall, it appears, had borrowed Gov
from old Aunt Harriet Lee, neighbol
and when the trouble arose between Hefill
and Fall the old lady sent word to Fal
that she would like 10 have her COW re
turned, as she did not wish the animal t
run on pasture Jim Helm was Obliged L
cross. or have such a woman as Mrs. Fall :
milk her. The COW, it is said. was prompt
returned.
This is the latest from the seat of trouble
but those who know all the parties inter
ested say the end is not yet.

400 persons swear to having heard the girl
scream, but this is also impossible, rs only
about thirty families live in the town. The
accused persons are forced to drink filthy
water. Each morning, at 10 o'clock, they
are taken out into the hot sun, and each
one has one of his legs raised up, and the

clothes and tied to stakes by the river side.
The mosquitoes are described as something
awful, and II one of them groans, it is the
signal for the guard to give him a fesrful
beating. Levers who have tried to inter
cede for the rufortunates have been told TO
keep quiet or they will be served in the

and the old Law against opening ale and
porter shops and selling feTmented liquors
