The statement in the HERALD yester-
day with reference to the cotton cases
was rather less full team it might h&v Q
been. Mr.. G. G. Wright made an earn
est effort to secure q trial of the case
against him and has been asking for
trial since his indictment. This was the
position of his counsel yesterday when
demanding trial ahead ofthat of Lohn-
stein. Three cases against Mr.. Wright
were called on motion of defendant
Lohnstein to place Wright on trial first.
The county attorney then dismissed
these three cases against Wright, where
upon defendant Johnston announced
ready for trial, and his case is now be-
ing tried. Col. Crawford was very earn
ost in insisting on Wrights trial at
once, stating that his client had been
begging and imploring trial to secure
his vindication ever since he was
charged.
After Lohnstein's announcement
court adjourned and the case will be re-
sumed to day.

Ye.terday MORNINGS Fire.

The fire that occurred about l O'Clock
yesterday morning, in Stringtown, was
not residence. as first reported, but
the African Methodist church. The
building, which was large frame
structure,was entirely consumed. There
was no insurance on it. The origin Of
the lire is mystery, and there is no
doubt but that it was the work Of
an ,incendiary. The firemen tapped
hydrant in the vicinity of the
fire, but failed to get any water. Whether
the mains were frozen or the water low
vt that altitude, is not known. The
burned building blew down about two
years ago during storm, and killed
one and wounded fourteen aolored
school children: The year previous TO
that II blew down. Some OF the old
resident darkies account for the fatality
attending the building on the ground
that years ago man was murdered on
the site where the structure stood, for
his money. The building was valued
~ about $1,000.
