BELTON, Feb. 6.-About o'clock
this evening the residence of o. M
Monteith, ESQ.,, was discovered to be
on fire. The citizens rushed to the
scene but arrived too late. The house
with almost the entire contents
burned. Mr.. Monteith was filling a
lamp from a five gallon oil can when
the oil took fire from the burning
wick. He threw the can out, and had
his hair singed and was burned slight
ly about the face. Loss, about $4,000;
no insurance.
DIR. Good was fined $3.50 in the
county county court for violating the
estray law.
A norther with slow rain reached
here this evening.
BELToN, Feb. 7.-The cause. of the
lire burning Mr.. Montieth's house last
night was incorrectly reported. Mr..
Montieth was standing about eight
feet from the fire pouring some gaso-
line out of a large can which he had
Just opened, into a pitcher, for the
purpose of filling the burner in a gas
oline cook stove. When he had about
a quart poured out the whole room
seemed to be filled with gas, which
took fire from the heat of the fire in
the fireplace, and spread all over the
room almost instantly. His wife lost
a fine gold watch and chain, a diamond
ring and other valuables.
1t has been raining all day and still
continues.

Wendell PhilI;;aS' Funeral.

Boston, Feb. 6.@At an early hour
this morning people began to gather
about the late residence of Wendell
Phillips. None were admitted to the
house but intimate friends. There
were no services in the house. At
1855 the coffin was borne from the
house to the hearse. Several hundred
persons, including many New York
ers, followed the remains to the old
Hollis street church, where the flu
neral services took place, conducted by
Rev. Samuel Longfellow, of Cam
bridge, assisted by Rev. S. May, of
Leicester. Among the prominent
clergymen present in the pulpit were
Edward Everett Hale, G. A. Barton,
James Freeman Clark, A. Miner and
Minor j. Savage. The interior of the
church was jammed to suffocation by
friends and relatives. Among those
attending the services were large COM
mitteeS from both houses of the legis-
lature, the common council in body,
and delegations from the woman
suffrage association, ladies OrganiZa-
lions, temperance societies, Irish socie-
ties, free thinkers association, Ameri-
can free soil society, young mems con-
greSs, and many reform movements,
with which Phillips was so promi-
nently identified. After the services
the body was borne to Faneuil Hall.
The only decoration on the coffin
was a sheave wreath in ivy leaves,
bound with lavender ribbon. De-
reased's widow and adopted daughter
| were not preSent-the former owing
| to ill-health, and the latter being
abroad. The services were very
simple, and consisted of singing the
hymn angels of Consolation by the
choir, scripture reading from Isiah,
anthem by the choir, funeral hymn by
all present, prayer by Rev. Sam'I May,
and benediction. AS soon as the coffin
reached the sidewalk from the church,
the procession formed as follows
Police; Company L, Sixth Regiment;
B. G. Shaw's veteran corps; colored
delegation from post 1874, G. A. R.; two
companies of veteran corps; the hearse
i guarded by soldiers, followed by car
riages. People crowded the sidewalks
along the entire route from the church
to Faneuil Hall, as they did from the
house to the church. There were
many evidences of respect and sorrow
as the hearse passed. Men remained
uncovered until the last carriage had
disappeared. A large force of police
and great concourse of people, which
had been growing since 9 O'Clock
IN the forenoon, met the remains
on their arrival at Faneuil Ha
at 10 o'clock. Here they were
placed on catapult, just in front Of
the rostrum and for the first opened
to public view; there were three flora
decorations in the hall; these very
elaborate and beautiful in design ant
workmanship and were tastefully ar
ranged. They were presented by Gen

CITY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-E. b. Weigh.
an, examiner in the department of jus.
tlce, in his testimony to-day before the
House committee on expenditures OF
the depastment of justice, discussed a
novel method of securing funds to
conduct the congressional campaign
The aspirant was Paul StroWbridge
whom the Senate failed to confirm for
marshal of Alabama while Turner
was United States marshal of that
state. The witness said Strow-
bridge asked to be appointed
deputy marshal, explaining he was
anxious tC make the canvass for con-
gress. He secured the appointment,
named number of assistants, and
went through the district making ar
rests, that fees might be obtained to
defray the expenses of the campaign.
Strowbridge was defeated, but he
came to Washington and contested
for the seat. The examiner said many
poor men were arrested in Alabama
by deputies on the charge of
chopping wood on public lands.
These min were often compelled
to sell their small possessions
to pay costs Of trial, taken in some in
stances more than 100 miles and
forced to go on foot and then dis
charged and allowed to return home
as best they could. Some of the ar
rested men died for want Of food and
from exposure while walking to their
homes. Their families also suffered,
having disposed of their means for
acquiring sustenance to pay the costs
of trials of the arrested parties. In
stances were cited when the exam
liner, who was investigating the
affairs of government officials,
was threatened. NJ. A. Welson, now
receiver CT public money, had at one
time attempted to shoot him, in Gov
ington county, Alabama. Witness
said there was scarcely a man who had
not been arrested, and could not re-
call single case where prisoner had
been convicted.

MASON, Feb. 6.-The north bound
stage, which left Mason night before
last, containing M. G. Todd and daugh-
ter, Miss Cora Bridges and w. Kelso
agent, was stopped by two masked
men when about mile out of town.
They compelled the passengers to
climb down and out when they
searched the gentlemen as well as the
stage, but did not modest either the
ladies or the mail. Reports from
Llama this morning say that the rob
bers have been captured and are now
in Jail at that place. They claim to
be brothers and answer to the name
of Smith. They only secured about
$40 and silver watch for their
trouble.
The Mason musical society gave
their second entertainment last even
ing to a crowded house. The class
shows great Improvement, and much
credit is due to Mrs. Sharpe, the tai
ented teacher.
An exhibition by the scholars of the
public schools was given here a few
nights ago. The school numbers $50,
and is under the care of Prof. and Mrs,
Dunlap, assisted by Mr.. Henry, and is
in a fiourishing condition.
No further news from the Burnet
cattle.
Weather fine and farmers all busy
doing nothing.
MASON, Feb. IA Mexican named
Sesho Morales, was arrested here this
morning, charged with the murder of
deputy sheriff at Kickapoo Springs
last Tuesday. The deputy, whose
name we are unable to learn, was pay
master at the ranch and some difficult
ty arising in settling accounts, the
Mexican plunged knife in him and
fled. He came here and was arrested
on description sent down by Justice
McCarty.
The latest from San Saba says that
Sheriff Miller with the rangers found
the cattle burners and captured one
man, who, so far, has refused to give
the names of his companions. The
burning seems to have been extensive
as cattle are still coming in with
their brands blotched.
The store of w. N. Morrow, one Of
our merchants, was entered by party
or parties unknown last night, and bur
glarized to the amount of twenty dol
lars, mostly small change, which ha6
been placed in the safe. One or two
attempts have been made lately tc
break into different stores in this
place, but so far without success I'M
