Seven Negroes Under Arrest for Incendiarism
Disappear in Mysterious Manner.

GREENvILLE, Miss, Dec. S1.-Two weeks
ago last Saturday Colonel Paxton's resi-
dence, near Arcola, was totally destroyed by
fire, and it is now known that the fire was
the work of incendiaries. Seven colored
people, including two women, were arrested
few days ago and kept under guard.
After some time, certain property taken
from the house before the fire was recov-
cred Two of the prisoners then confessed
their guilt. One, woman employed as
cook, had drugged the coffee. and but for
the fact that two members of the family
were absent at supper-time, the
whole household would have per-
ished. AS it was, Mrs. Frank AldTige
was able to arouse Colonel and Mrs.
Paxton only with difficulty when the
flames were discovered. The prisoners also
confessed that one of them stood at each
door with an axe or gun to kill any member
of the family who tried TO escape, but the
slowness of the fire alarmed them and they
fed. News received to-day is TO the effect
that the seven prisoners who were under
arrest disappeared, last night, somewhat
mysterious1y. There does not appear TO
have been any motive for the incendiary
crime beyond that of robbery and pillage.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.
Talk of a Caucus of Republican Members

Talk of Caucus of Republican Members
Elect to Be Held in March.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Some of the most
prominent Republican protectionists in the
House are talking of conference, to be
held Immediately after the expiration of
the present session, and to be attended by
the Republican members-elect to the next
Congress, for the purpose Of forestalling
the election of Speaker. The movement
means the selection of man ON the platform
adopted at Chicago, and presages success
for Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio, it is thought by
his friends here. A feeling is growing that
Mr. Reed will be needed on the floor during
the tariff debate which will ensue next ses-
sion, and Mr.. Mckinley is the ideal protec-
ZIONIST among the candidates for the speak
ership. One of the prime motives in the
conference is to cut off the usual campaigns
for the speakership, thereby saving time
and money, and avoiding the possibility of
feeling.
To-day's local newspapers announce that,
at present, Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, has
more votes pledged to him for Speaker than
any other candidate. Mr.. Cannon is mod
crate in his views ON tariff reform, howev-
er, believing that there should be lower
duties, and if the proposed conference has

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-COlonel Swords,
secretary of the inaugural committee, made
contribution to the ministerial talk CO.
ing ON at Indianapolis about the inaugural
ball and it's cost. This subject has, in fact,
been the theme in certain circles here for
several days. Colonel Swords says: cit is
absurd, in the first place, for any one to
talk of the Inauguration costing 100000.
1t wont cost $4,000. Besides, it is the
money of the citizens of the District of
Columbia, who propose that the thousands
of people who visit the capital city
next March shall be properly entertained,
and that a suitable demonstration
be made. The ball Is simply
one of the features of this gala occasion.
1T will give the people a chance to see the
President, as many will not have the OPP
portunity of doing so during the day. 1t is
not a giddy, real naughty ball that is going
to be held under the auspices of the most
respectable and hOnored citizens of the Dis
trict, with the cooperation of the best
people of the country but it is going to be
an orderly and respectable gathering. 1t
is true that there will be no complimentary
tickets but fail to see how that fact will
lower the tone of the ball. Everybody will
have good time and will see one of the
grandest spectacleS that was ever presented
ON similar occasion in this country"
