The Rors and the Bee. Gum.

One of our most popular preachers
tells "rich one" on some of the boys
who "wore the gray" zone of whom he
was which," While quartered in North
Mississippi they attempted to open me-
gotiations with stingy farmer for the
purchase of bee-gum. He refused to
sell the honey, whereupon the boys in
formed him in chivalrous and SOL
dierly way that they were going to
have the bee-gum anyway, but pre-
ferred to pay for it. He still refused
and defied them to show their heads
about the premises at night. The
boys, bent on having the honey despite
the threats of the old @tight-fist, went
back in the night, and following the
direction of their leader, took che
heaviest gum they could find in the
yard, having to carry it @turn about"
and wade q creek before they reached
the distributing point, and just as they
were huddling around in breathless
suspense, anxiously awaiting with
watery mouths their midnight repast
on Samson's favorite dish, what was
their chagrin on the one hand and sup
pressed laughter on the other, as one
of their number struck light" and
they beheld before them q large gum
of ashes, which they had mistaken for
q bee-gum. - Walker County (Ga.

HORROR AT A BULL FIGHT.
Fire Set by an Lncendiary Causes the
Death OF Eighteen Women
and Children.
The Enraged Animals Kill Many Of the
Victims Persons Become In
sane from Terror.
[celaYa lMe1lcol telegram.

Sunday afternoon, about 4:45 O'Clock,
the bull ring here was crowded with spec
tators of the great national sport. The
company of ull-fghters from Leon were
still playing with the first bull, when fire
suddenly broke out on the sunny side Of
the plaza. A panic seized upon the vast
assemblage and q frightful spectacle was
the result. The plaza was constructed Of
wooden masts, reeds, etc., and Ii was due
to this fact that the majority Of the people
escaped without injury, being able to force
an opening permitting an exit at different
30 nts, but many women and children
Jumped from the top, distance of from
two hundred to three hundred feet, and
over one hundred of them were seri-
ously wounded. Eighteen lives were
lost. The sides Of the plaza being
lined with mating as dry as tinder,
and there being slight wind blowing, the
amphitheater was in blaze in q few sec
onds. Nine dead bodies, in some cases so
charred as to be unrecognizable, have SO far
been taken from the smoking ruins. Nine
persons we're so badly burned that they
died next day, making eighteen deaths
In all. Sixty eight persons we're very
badly burned, and, though they still
live, at least ten of them will die
this week. Fifty persons in escaping we're
panic stricken throng. and are very seri-
ously, but not fatally, injured. The bulls,
maddened by the roaring Of the flames,
broke loose from their stalls and rushed
wildly through the surging mass of human
ity, tossing aloft and knocking over all who
stood in their way.
Among the eighteen dead were two
women who were first Rored to death by
the bulls aud their bodies afterward burned.
The scenes in the neighborhood Of the
bull-ring were sickening beyond descrip-
ton. Women and children, Invested Of
their clothing, and suffering from their
burns, ran aimlessly through the streets
and could scarcely be overtaken or collected
by their friends. Several persons lost
their reason from the severe mental shocks
TO which they we're subjected.
Celaya is mourning now. On every
