The Ripley Fire.


The FIRE at Ripley, Tenn, last Mon
day, destroyed some $4,000 worth Of
property. 1t originated in the SOUTH
east corner Of the second story Of the
hotel. The News, of last Friday, gives
the following particulars.
1t consumed all the building from
DR.. j. A. Lackey's residence east of
and in rear of the Ferguson Hotel, to
the store Of Mr.. John Felsenthal. on
the Square, also the postofice north Of
the hotel.
The property owners who sustained
losses are: DR.. ]. A. Lackey, Mrs.
Ferguson, j. l.. Strickland j. Z.
Evans, Davis l. Solomon, Berg 4
Schafer and B. A. Sinclair. The
occupants Of the buildings consumed
were Messrs. Bandy 4 Brown, who
occupied, with their families, the
Lackey residence; Mr.. Bell Fergu-
son, proprietor of the hotel; Byrne &
Meadows. druggists, occupying the
store adjoining the hotel; j. L..
Barksdale, grocer; j. Fl. Evans, saloon;
Davis 4 Solomon, saloon; Berg 4
Schafer, grocers, and Mr.. Sinclair,
dry goods.
There was no insurance on the res
idence, nor on the three stores owned
by DR.. Lackey. Mrs. Ferguson had
$1,000 insurance on the hotel. MIR.
Bell Ferguson. her son, had no in
surance upon the furniture, etc. The
loss sustained by him was near $500.
There was no insurance upon the
Strickland house. Messrs. sByrne &
Meadows, who occupied it, had a pol
icy of $1,000 upon their stock. They
succeeded in getting it out, but in
doing so it was damaged considerably,
the exact amount OF which it is hard
at this time to compute. There was
no insurance upon the stock of gro
cerieS belonging to Mr.. Barksdale.
His entire stock was also moved, but
not without several hundred dollars
damage. Mr., j. II. Evans, whose
business house was adjoining the two
new stores of DR.. Lackey. in getting
out and moving his stock of liquors,
bar fixtures, billiard tables, etc.,
was insured to the amount of
seven or eight hundred dollars. He
had an insurance of $1,000 on his
house and $3.50 on his stock. Messrs.
Davis & Solomon, who owned and oc.
cupied the building adjoining Evans,
held an insurance of $1,000 on their
house and stock. The latter was re-
moved, but damaged to the extent OF
several hundred dollars. Messrs. Berg
4 Schafer, who came next had on
hand very large stock of groceries
and supplies of all kinds, had their
stock somewhat damaged in the re
mOyal. They held an insurance on
house and stock of $500. Mr.. B. A.
Sinclair occupied the house adjacent
to Berg Il Schafer. He had no insurs
ance on either house or stock; the lat
ter, being dry goods, was OF course
damaged to some extent. Burn &
Meadows now occupy the southwest
corner of the square; J. II. Evans, the
corner under the Masonic Lodge;
Barksdale, the Anderson house ad-
joining him; Sinclair, the Glass store
across the street; Davis & Solomon
and Berg & Schafer, the two adjacent
brick stores Some of them have al
ready resumed business, and the 9th
ers will do so as soon as the adjust
ments are had with the insurance
companies.

DORsEY's FIGHT.
The Ex-senator Explains His
Reasons for Kicking Judge
Lilly Out OF His House.
Special to the ooadsr.Jonrnal.

Il ~f~~%@t " Nae NNatApA-rRHAa
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Ex-Sena-
tor Dorsey explains the kicking Incl.
dent in which he and Judge Lilly
were the actors 20 Post reporter as
follows:
We'll, said the Senator, kicked
him out of my parlor, out of the hall
and down the steps of my house, as l
would kick any black.mailer and
thief, If that is what you want to
know"
Why did you do this2"
He came to me during my last
trial and solicited employment as a
lawyer in my behalf, and l employed
him and paid him $1,000, the fee de-
manded. 1t has since turned out, by
evidence that nobody can contradict,
that while employed as my attorney
he was trying to have Rerdell go over
to the Government, and was arranging
false testimony for him"
Was that the case of this particu
lar occurrence2'
NO"
We'll. what was the cause, then,
Senator?"
About two months ago Lilly came
to my house when | was confined in a
sick and dark room and told me that
Rerdell had promised him fee oil
$3.50 four or five years ago, and he
thought Mr.. Bosler aud myself we're
responsible for it. This, you will re
member, occurred after my employ
ment of Mr.. Lilly as counsel, and the
payment Of $1,000 TO him as such, and
he had never mentioned the matter to
me before. He was persistent and
threatening. AS settlement of my
part OF his pretensions, | gave him a
check for $l25, while there was not
the slightest foundation, in my judg
ment, for such charges 1t was pure,
straight Matchmaking, levied because
he thought the times and opportunity
admitted of it.
well, then, what about the quar- :
relPp
He came to my house the other
morning with a person whom he
brought, and after few words of a
social character he turned to me and
asked me for Sl25 more. | told him I
didn't owe him a cent and never had,
and his reply was so infamous that
nobody who had the manhood of a
man could submit to it. | simply
took him By the coat collier and kicked
| him ont Ot the house The only re
greet | have is that l didn't begin the
kicking years ago. Any honest or
decent court in the world would disbar
this man, as would also every executive
department which has a decent re-
spect for the fidelity or honesty of
lawyers"
