COLUMBUS, GA, July 12.-At O'CLOCK
last night fire was discovered in Charles
HOwelPs grocery store, on the corher Of
Eighth and Mercer streets. The entire

The stock was insured for about 81 800 IN

the property of the Burton estate, and
partially insured for $500. lhis is the
fourth time this corner has burned down
In the last few years. Several attempts
have been made 90 break into the store,
one Of which proved successful and 5000
were stolen. Incendlarism is the probable
cause of the fire.
Last night William Carroll, white
man, was attacked in the upper

as his skull WAS broken. There is n0
clue yet as to who his assailants were.

THE AUSTRIAN MISSION.

why Minister Kelley has Ehtled TO IRE
sent Ills Credentials at Vienna.
WAsHNGToN, July 12.-At the State
Department n u an open secret among
the subordIuates that the reason for
Minister Keiley's failure 10 present his
credentials 40 Vienna is that, ON arriving
abroad. he was instructed 70 spend his
time agreeably, but not 10 make his
way 70 Vienna until the ground
should 30 smOOthed for him; 80 he
has taken things easy while Secretary
Bayard has waited 20 see the anti-keiley
ioeeling 40 the Austrian court die out.
TO that end prcihc assurances have been
given by him 10 the Austrian Minister.
Baron Won Stcefel, that 20 slight was in
tended by the administration when
Kelley was commissioned tO Vienna.
These expressions have been duly for
warded. but have not resulted as Dir.
Bayard hoped. This week, when Baron
Won st0eiel called 20 say good
by 70 Mr. Bayard, the two had a long
talk. The baron said frankly that In all
probability his post here would be vacant
for some time, as he had reason 10 say
that while Kelley remained accredited to
Austria that country would very likely
leave It's legation IN the hands OF n charge.
This complication Is worrying Mr. Bayard
"A good deal, and he has about given up
all hope Of getting out Of the Kelley affair
In any other way than by asking that
Rcntleman'B resignation.

Several years ago had station on

never been anv train robberies very near
us, though there was much talk about 'em.
One time the engineer of a passenger train
stopped his engine in hurry at the 46lst
mile post. and then backed up. He de-
clared that train robbers had placed OBJ
structions on the track. and were lying in
ambush.
Investigation showed that what he had
thought were distractions. were nothing
but some of the big rolling weeds which
had blown across the prairie, and gathered
on the track. OF couse the engineer was
laughed at for his error; and after that,
whenever train robbers were mentioned.

same kind that William Roberts once saw
