Mamie Benson, II years of age, and then
turning the weapon upon himself. Miss
Benson, who lives with her widowed mother,
first met McCauley in March last. At their
first meeting McCauley told Miss Benson he
loved her, and that if she did not return
his love he would kill her. After that she

Destructive F1RE.-The large tobacco
factory of Messrs. c. A. Jackson & Co., OF
Petersburg, one of the largest and most
complete in the South, was destroyed by
fire last night, The factory was supplied
with the most improved machinery and was
finely equipped. The loss will be near
Sl75,OOO. The firm had insurance to the
amount Of $50, 900. The destruction of the
factory will be severely felt among the
working people. Business had opened well
and employment was given to large mum

water supplywas very scarce,and it is largely
due to this cause that the factory fell such
an easy prey to the flames.

ICOMMUNICATED

A PoTTER's FIELD WANTED.-Itis hoped
that at its next meeting the City Council
will direct the Committee on Public Prop
erty to purchase two acres adjacent to the
city to be used as burial ground for the
poor. The present cemetery has been used
for over one hundred years, and Is COM
pletely filed. The only way to inter the
dead is to opsn au old grave and place the
coffin on The top Of one which hos been
buried many years, In opening a grave
recently u tomb stoue was found four feet
under ground which recorded the death in
1907 of Nancy Dove, aged 50 years. Mayors
Smith and Beck ham called the attention OF
Council 10 The importance of providing ad-
ditonal grounds for the burial OF the poor,
and we hope the committee will give prompt
attention TO the matter. ~

make daily excursion trips from An
napolis, leaving her wharf foot of
Main street, at 2 p. M, returning to
the city about six o'clock, thus giving
a trip of four hours On the beautiful
