Serioss Fire ThsaGhs By Some - Have
Been the Work Of One or the
Other Glass OF Armed
Men.

MACON, Mo-, December I1.-Satursay
night serious fire occurred at Better
which is said by cool citizens to have been
accidental, while others charge it upon one
or the other of the armed factions. Tie
fire destroyed wooden row with most of
the contents. The postofice building was
burned but everything was saved out Of it.
Governor Morehouse reached here Sun
day and with many others went to Bevier.
The governor at oncs commenced thor
ough investigation of the condition of affairs
at Bevier. He visited all of the different
factions. The unemployed miners. the
Swedes, the citizens, the railroad employees
and the coal operators.
The governor treated oil sides alike, and
in making his Investigation he found the
most peculiar state of affairs he had ever
known. Both sides we'll armed with imple-
ments of war, and both sides asking TO-
state protection. and the citizens and the
coal operators all wanting the militia called
out. The governor Gays he thinks either
side of the two standing armies was willing
to surrender without further trouble, but
either would not give up first. Govern or
MOrehOuSe ordered the militia to Bevler,
which is portion of the Third regiment of
Kansas City, under command of Colonel
Milton Moore. The militia arrived at Be-
vier Monday afternoon. The governor and
sdjutant general believe the Bevier troubles
are getting under fair way of settlement,
and think within a few weeks there will be
TO more serious trouble existing there.
The buildings burned Saturday night were
the ones that were shot full of holes by the
Swedes on the night of the last riot. The
streets at Bevier to-day was full of people,
many of them being visitors to see where
the fire was Saturday night and also to see
Governor Morehouse. The town had on a
gloomy appearance. They all wanted pro-
lection, "a all sides seemed to think they
were in terrible danger, which was the
truth.
The disarming of both sides at Bevier
seems to be hard thing to do. General
Jamjson Gays the only way it can be done IL
for the governor to declare the town under
m artial law. It has been suggested that the
sheriff could keep the peace with posse OF
100 men of the guard, but he says there is
no uss to talk about this, as he can't get the
men to go there and stay, aud they would
amount to nothing if al outbreak occurred.
There are two armed bodies of men. and II
any one on either side fires off his gum,
whether accidentally or not, it is q war sig
nal and the war begins.

ported to be ordered to Bsvier, are old

The Georgian Slave Market.

The GeOrgians claim very early
Christianity. I think from the time of
the earliest Christian emperors, when
it was a Roman province. They are g
fne-looking race of men, very fair,
straight and slender They hate the
Armenians, call them thieves, etc.
They are themselves very improvident,
save nothing, are heavily mortgaged to
the Armenians, and hate them accord
ingly. [ have seen nothing yet to
justify the reputation of the women for
great beauty. A peep in CONSTANT
nople under Turkish yashmak and
youthful ardor and imagination have
done more, I suspect, for their great
, reputation than nature has done. A
dark eye and q white forehead seen

Imagination to fashion a beauty which
fully revealed face would not bear
out The Russians have struggled
hard to stop the trade in girls for the
Turkish harem, but an intelligent
Georgian told me it was still carried on
to limited extent, but insisted it ex-
listed only upon the mountains near the
Black Sea, and not in his part of the
country. But after all does the thing
really do harm? A handsome girl is
sold to a Turk-she becomes his wife
and her parents in their old age have
some comforts. Left here she and they
live like pigs in sty. The girls, am
told, do not go as unwilling slaves, or
at least not more so than many a
beauty that you and know of at home,
who march grandly up the church aisle
to the wedding march smothered in
orange blossoms and lace, and are
given by prudent paterfamilias to some
rich roue or half-made-up Dives. It
is not in Georgia and Circassia alone
that warm young hearts are turned to
stone for the sweet privilege of tread
ing upon soft Turkish carpets and sip
ping tea in egg-shell china and eating
from silver plate. Kings and emperors
would suppress the selling of slave
girls, and yet their own wives, daughters
and sisters are or were made princely
merchandise. Not far from the Baltic
there are royal studs were princesses
are bred and regularly trotted out and
right royalty sold. The thing is called

those shining examples for common
folk to follow, such as Milan's platonic
fiirtations with actresses, crown prin-
cesses drinking many waters while their
husbands dissipate in pastures green,
and imperial morganatic widows the
leaders at Nice, ETC., etc. Bah! the
slave trade in girls has been partially
suppressed under these grand noun
tains, but it is still rife in princely
palaces in Belgravia and possibly in
fashionable American society, and is
of beastly character in London pur-

formation has heretofore been obtainable
from the adjutant general by the local press
correspondents, but he is charged by the
Evening News with keeping correspondents
OF distant papers well informed with his
plans and prospects.
Mr.. Koontz states in an interview that the
new organization was not anta9onistiC to

statements to the contrary are in error upon

emphatically declares they are not lighting

Another Railroad Scheme.

CHICAGO, December THE Times says
'sIt is reported that eastern capitalists have
been for some days considering a scheme
that is of much greater magnitude than that
of the collapsed clearing house arrange
ment. It provides for the creation Of q
syndicate which is to secure controlling
interest in all western roads and manage
them as one system. A gentleman we'll in
formed in railroad affairs, but who prefers
to be nameless, said: This clearing house
scheme. or whatever may be substituted for
it, is Intended TO be only makeshift, q
temporary affair, put forth as "feeler,"
you might say-something to prepare the
public mind for the introduction of broad
er and more effective plan for putting an
end to rate wars and revolutionizing railway
management. / happen to know that the
ultimate aim and purpose of the capitalists
who have been in consultation in New York
is to form great railroad syndicate and
association of the roads west Of Chicsgo
and st. Louls under one controlling power.
The organizatio is to be gigantic stock
company and stockholders will be guaran-
teed, say per cent, on their stock, 80 that
while 1t will amount practically to q consol-
idation of all roads, it will in reality be
nothing more than leasing of the various
lines. There ID no law against leasing rail-
roads and until there is such law it cannot
be urged that there is anything illegal in the
scheme. do not know how soon it will be
put into operation and presume the pro
jectors have not decided that point, bat
that it has not been abandoned I am sure.
Rates could be made better than they are a.
present because they would be uniform;
there would be no competition and fast
trains could be established just where there
was demand for them and there would be
no rivals to rush in and kill the profits or
the business by dividing up into an infinite
similar proportion"
