disposed of to the contractors who built
his house, but that at the time the due bill
was thus disposed of by him the money

Town Hall of HIiIlen, Ga.
MILLEN, GA, April 16.-About 1890
O'Clock last night an alarm of fire was
sounded, and it was soon discovered that
the Clown HalP' was enveIoped in flames.
A negro named Hemp Palmer was ar
rested late yesterday evening by Marshal
Thomas J. Wells, charged with drunken
ness and firing a pistol on the streets. He
was confined in the lower part of the
building, which was strongly built of
brick and used as a barracks. No
human aid could rescue him, and
he perished in the flames. The ori-
gin of the fire is unknown. The
general impression is that the prisoner
fired the building with the hope that he
would be rescued before his life would be
endangered and in the excitement would
effect his escape. The hall had but re-
Gently been completed at a cost of about

PARIS 10 M sEARCHFD

PARIS, April 16.-Owing. to information
which the police have obtained through
the recent arrests of Fenians in England.
an English inspector is coming here to
search for dynamiters.
ACTIVITY OF THE DYNA8fITERS IN PARIS
Several English detectives have arrived
in Paris for the purpose of tracing dyna-
miters. In spite of the report of Col. Ma
jendie, it is declared that the dynamite
used at Victoria Station was made at
factory between Amiens and Boulogne.
There is rumOr aflOat that an attempt
will shortly be made to blow up one of
the public buildings in London. The ac-
tivity Of the dynamiters continues una
bated. They meet twice every week for
the purpose of making plans and prepa-
ratIons for future Outrages. The English
and French police, it is believed, are fully
acquainted with their movements, and
every effort will be made to counteract
their plots. There is great reason to be-
lieve that one of the most trusted of the
dynamite leaders keeps the police fully
informed Of all their plans. His treachery
to his fellow cOnspirators is of course lib
orally rewarded.
