LOOKED ON WITH FEAR.
BELLEVIAW'S BLAZE.
The AK Helve Factory ard a Rice MIL
in Ruins.

BELLEvIEw, FLA, March IA destruc~
tive fire broke out Saturday about 10
o'clock In the factory owned by F. W.
Brooks and run by a. T. Converse in the
manufacture Of al helves The fire was
first discovered on the roof Of the building
by L. n chols He at once gave the alarm,
and il even a few pals of water had been
at hand it might have been extinguished,
but rs there was no water near at hand that
could be btained the fire had gained such
Roadway before anything could be done as
TO be far beyond control. Connected with
the main factory was a rice mill, the ma
chinery Of which was owned by Ira L..
Keeler Both buildir rs were consumed and
also most of the machinery and a large
amount Of hickory stock for the mannfac-
ture of helves There were some 1000
helves in stock, most of which we're carried
out of the building, but being on the lee
ward side, the wind blew the fire in that di-
rection and they we're in flames before the
danger was discovered. Nearly all Of them
were consumed
F. w. Brooks loss is about $500 on the
building and engine, the latter being nearly
new, and of the Mansfield, o., Company's
make.
Mr.. Converse's loss will not be far from
$1,000.
Mr.. Keeler loses less than either Of the
otneiS Ills I1SS does not exceed S2OO.
There was no insurance on any Of the prop
erty.
Mr.. Keeler's hands were badly burned in
his efforts TO save a part of the rice ma
chinery, and o. r. Beclrwith, who was on
the roof Of the building trying to extinguish
the flames, had his clothing on fire, but
suffered no material injury.
There was danger for time that the fire
would consume the next building, owned by
a KlaKQQlpa "a w & NJ ftviq and
in case that building had burned the fire
would have been sure TO destroy several
other buildi rs, but fortunately it was
checked with the buildings whe 1t started.

CHOPPED WITH AN AK.
A difficulty occurred early this morning
between Charles Sly, colored drayman,
and John M1rable, a wood cutter Morable
went to Sly's house, and, with his ak on his
shoulder walked up to the table where SLY
was eating and picked up a biscuit.
Sly asked him to put it
down and not to trouble him,
as he wanted TO finish his breakfast and re-
turn to work. Morable was evidently in
suited at Sly's remark, for he raised bis ak
and dealt Sly severe blow on the leg, just
below the calf. Sly was Immediately taken
to DR.. Benedict's Office, where it was found
that the leader of the leg had heen cut and
the bone injured. Morable in the meantime
picked up his ak and went in pursuit of
wood to cut
LOOKED ON WITH FEAR.
Morable is considered half-witted negro,
and has more than once tried TO kill per-
sols for trivial offepses. The negroes OF
this place look upon him with superstition,
and men, women and children will walk
half mile out of their way to avoid meet
ing him. An old colored woman was heard
to remark to-day that "Them polices had
better not fool with Morable, as it was dan
gerous to be found with crazy folks during
the change of the moon" Sly is resting
quietly tonight. AS yet Morable has not
been arrested.

Executive Clemency to a Gambler
Causes q Clash.
MACON, Ga, March 12-An interesting
issue has been made between the Governor
and Judge Gustin, of this Judicial circuit
The facts are these: At the November ad-
journed term of Bibb Superior Court.
Joseph Beasley was convicted on three
separate indictments ( r gambling He
was fined 500 and costs on the first two in
dctments and 5000 and costs on the third
The costs in each case were about $40, the
total against Beasley aggregating $500 III
the three cases or about $l20 per case.
Judge Gustin sentenced Beasley about a
week ago, granting indulgence of time in
which to raise the money.
AN APPEAL TO THE GOVERNOR.
In the meantime Beasley asked various
citizens to sign petition to the Governor
requesting a reduction of the fine. or
course he got the signatures and the result
was that the Governor issued an order on
March 9 reducing the fifes TO 500 and costs
and allowing a reasonable length Of time
in which to raise the money. The papers
arrived Satu day morning addressed to
Sheriff Westcytt, and the first intimation
Judge Gustin had that Beasley had petit
toned the Governor was when the Sheriff
showed him the papers Saturday afternoon.
THE PAPERS FAULTY.
Judge Gustin says the papers are
faulty, in that the Governors order recites
that Beasley was co victed at the October
term of the court and sentenced TO pay
fine of $780, whereas the conviction was at
the November term, aud there was no fine
of $500, but three fines amounting 10 that
sum, and that thus really the order is lille
gal Judge Gustin, it Is understood, pro-
poses TO take no other ste in the matter, as
the papers are addressed TO the Sheriff and
not to him.

Rawson, on motion of the District Attorney,
was dismissed from the court docket this
morning. Mrs Rawson was very indig-

Twelve-year-old Dot Lee, Mrs. Rawsons
daughter by Charles G.. Lee, her second

der. The Islander charged is in
Mr.. Raw on's answer to his wife's suit
for separate maintenance. He
stated therein that Mrs. Rawson
had in 1875 pretended to be
joined in marriage with Lee" There
were many similar expressions in Mr.
Rawson's answer, which it is claimed
were not material to divorce pro
ceedings, and were inserted with malicious
intent. By their implication that Miss Dot
was illegiJimate, she claims to have been
damaged $50 900, which sum the court is
asked to compel the millionaire banker TO

Ell PAso, Ten, March 12.--Senor Lano
GARLIC, acting Governor Of the State of
Chihuahua, Mex, is here. Janos, the town
where United States Marshal Meade, of
Arizona, was arrested by Mexican authori-
ties, is in the State of Chihuahua, and
therefore within Gov. Carrillos jurisdic-
ton. Gov. Garlic is fully informed about
the arrest.
CAUSE oE THE ARREST.
He said to-day: 1.-The United States Off
GERS were arrested because without either
authority under the treaty or permission
from the Mexican officials they were found
in Mexico in arms in pursuit of alleged
train robbers. The arrest was made by
Mexican custom officials. | was informed
as promptly as a c~urier could carry the
message from Janos to Chihuahua a ride
of a day or more. lat once telegraphed the
facts to the City Of Mexico, and requested
instructions from the federal government.
ORDERS OF THE GOVERNMENT.
at was directed to order the United States
officials released but not to return their
arms to them dispatched this order TO
Janos by courier, and suppose that Marshal
Meade and his aides have been released be-
fore this. The Mexican authorities would
gladly have detailed officers to join the
United States officers in pursuit of the rob-
bers, had request for such aid been made.
The action of the United States Marshal
was clearly without warrant, and could not
be overlooked"
NOT ALLOWED BY TREATY.
The Mexican authorities say that there is
no treaty or convention now in force au-
thorizng officers of one government to
cross into the territory of the other govern
ment in pursuit of any class of outlaws.
A convention was made between the United
States and Mexico some time ago permit
ting the officers or troops of either govern
ment to pursue hostile Indians across e
border, but that convention has expired
1t is reported that five Americans were ar
rested at Janos-U nited States Marshal
Meade, Deputies Shebbell aud Will Smith,
and two travellers. 1t Is also reported that
at the time of the arrest Marshal Meade
and his posse were but two hours behind
the robbers.

Canada's Failure to Supply Provisions

WINNIPEG, MAN, March I2.-For some
weeks alarming reports have been received
here from the West that the Indians were
very restless, owing to the neglect of the
government in furnishing supplies, and that
there was serious danger of an uprising un
less food was at once forwarded. The
mounted police claim to be able to put down
any revolt, but at the same time admit that
there will be trouble, unless immediate re
lief is given.
DUMoNT'S ADVICE.
The half-breeds at Batouche are in con
slant communication with Gabriel Dumont
who is now in New York, and in recent
letter he is understood to have advised them
to secure food by pilage rather than to sub
NIT to slow starvation. His people had hall
crop of barley this year but they were
obliged to burn it and eat it. The only
thing his people had not tried to eat as YET
is earth and mud.
STARVATION RATIoNs.
Chief Alexis said that rations had been is
sued three times during the winter. TIE
first time was about November l. Then he
received a sack of -four for his family OF
thirteen. After New Years he got another
half sack and about the middle of February
they got five pounds of -four apiece They
had received some blankets, but no serge.
