Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.I
HAMPTON, December s, 1884.
Nothing definite can be learned as 10 the
origin OF the late fire. Fields (colored),
one Of the heaviest losers, states that just
before the fire broke out he heard some one
chopping in Smiths yard, then the party
ran out and down Il lane near. Shortly
after he heard q sort Of explosion. and
blaze shot up and around. Other parties
passing Smiths late that night noticed
strong odor OF coal-oil around, but paid no
attention to 1t until the fire was discovered.
Several parties were caught stealing goods
during the fire, and are under arrest.
Mrs. Whiting, the wife Of Captain II. c.
Whiting, president Of the Bank OF Hamp-
ton, is lying very i'll at her residence here.
Little hope Of her recovery is entertained.
She has been sick for some months.

JUDGE REID ENDS HIS LIFE.

While Temporarily Insane.

He Fires a Pistol Ball into His Head
While Temporarily Insane.
Mt. STERLING, KY, May 15.-This COM
munity was thrown into the widest ex-
citement about IL O'Clock by the startling
announcement that Judge Reid had com
mitted suicide. Judge Reid was eowhided
recently by Lawyer COrneiIson. it will
be remembered. For the past few days
his relatives had noticed that he
was considerably depressed in spirits
and commented on it, but be had lust re-
turned from a canvass of this (Apple-
gate) district, and had been in close con-
sultatiOn with his friends as to the advis-
ability of still remaining in the field. as
he appeared to be discouraged at the out
look. This morning he was more cheer
fuI and IN better spirits than he had been
Tor some weeks, and was hopeful Of the
canvass. and had made arrangements to
visit different parts of the county during
the week. His mental alteration must
have come upon him suddenly, doubtless
superinduced by pain in his head. Of
which he complained.
1t appears that he went into Judge
Breck's law Office about 10:3O O'Clock this
morning and told him that he would like
to go up stairs, as he was suffering from
q oSfCiO ACaudCuc. Juuge Dreck. aItef
the lapse Of an hour, went up stairs aud
was Mortified to see Judge Reid stretched
out on the floor dying, his head lying in a
pool Of blood and a pistol on the floor bv
his side. The following note. written on
the back Of a business card. was found.
Mad. mad! Forgive me, dear wife. and
love to the boy" 1t is not signed, but is
in the handwriting Of Judge Reid. 1t is
singular fact that no one heard the report
Of the pistol. The weapon used by Judge
Reid was one he kept at his house. but
never carried. 1t appeared to have just
been loaded.

MILLENs CONFEDERATION.
Heroic Efforts of the PeOpIe-The Pro
posed Railroad to Jesup.

MILLEN, May 15.-The origin of the
disastrous fire which occurred in this
town about l O'Clock this morning is still
matter of grave question among the
citizens. It was first discovered
in the upper story of A. II.
Lanier's store, on the corner of Cotton
avenue and Gray streets. Merchandise
was stored in the upper story. 1t was
also occupied by the negro porter as
sleeping apartment. The fire spread
rapidly and soon the building
was a mass of flames. The wind was
blowing eastward in the direction Of the
Millen Hotel, on the opposite corner of the
street. All eyes turned in this direction
and determined efforts were made to save
the hotel, which is the pride of the town.
1t was we'll known that if this building
caught the flames would soon spread to
the residences of George W. DWelle and
James II. Daniel, and thence to the CON-
mercial houses and the livery stables.
Water was easily obtained from the arte-
sian well and was carried in pals and
tubs to the rOOf0t the hotel. Numberless
spar&s and large Goals of fire fell in
showers on this shingle roof and for a
time it seemed like folly to attempt to
save the building, but the determined
efforts of the people were increasing and
the reward for cOOlness and presence Of
mind in a case of extreme emergency was
secured. Samuel Tyree, the proprietor of
the hotel, was absent in Chattanooga. but
his three daughters, Misses Florence,
Bessie and Emma, deserve special men,
tiOn for the great GOODNESS they exhibited.
They seemed to have inspired the
men to heroic efforts by their encouraging
words and actions. The Conductors
House, E. Batwell's beef market, Joseph
Heing's saloon, and a number of small
buildings were consumed. The insurance
on the lost property amounts to about
$4,000, WHICH is not half the loss.
The News correspondent had a CONVEX
satiOn yesterday with Wallace B. Nc
Grath, of Erie, Pa, in reference to the
projected railroad from this point to
Jesup. on the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway. Mr.. McGrath
is a civil engineer, and has recently
passed through the country from here 10
Jessup in company with a large lumber
merchant OF his city. He gives flatter-
ing accounts OF the fine timbered land, and
says that the capitalist he represents will
doubtless begin work on this long con-
templated railroad before the close Of the
present year.

The ConnelIsviIIe 7kaiIroad wreck.

PITTsBURG, May 15.-When the wreck
near COnnellsville was cleared away it
was discovered that twelve persons had
been injured and that fourteen more were
missing. The bodies Of ten Of these lat
ter have been recovered. The others are
supposed to have been completely con-
sumed. OF those recovered only two.
Cassidy and Dermott. could be positively
identified. The others were burned into a
shapeless mass.
At the inquest the testimony showed
that Train Dispatcher Gilbert Lewis had
ordered the engineer of a camp train To
run wild to Ohio Pyle, a distance of
eighteen miles; that before the train was
out of sight he remembered that the
second section, No. 8, coming west. had
not passed, He made an effort to stoD
one train or the other, but did not sue
ceed; also that on account Of a sbarp
curve, where the trains cOllided. the en-
gineer thinking that the track was clear
could not be held responsible. The Jury
rendered verdict that the victims came
to their death by a collision caused by
the carelessness of Gilbert Lewis. Dis
trict Attorney Cochran attended the in
quest, but has not yet determined whether
to prosecute Lewis or not.
