SENATOR CALL of Florida elongated
his coat tails and pranoed around pretty
generally overthe sand hills with a steady
invitation for somebody TO tramp
thereon. Nobody accepted the invitation
till he and bis friends grew bold and re
ferred to w D. Chipley Of Pensacola,
chairman Of the Democratic committee,
as man who might be expected TO put
his foot down Mr. Chipley promptly re
sponded that he had large and con
venient foot. ana that It was constructed
for the purpose Of holding down
eoat-tails Of exaggerated dimen-
sions. Mr. Chipley wrote an open
letter to Senator Call saying 81
will meet you, not as your 'defamer, but
in the interest Of truth, the state Of
Florida and the prosperity Of our people
and 70 show to them your utter incapa-
city To fill or else your wllful disregard
Of the duties Of the high position you
hold at the hands Of the people Of the
state Mr. Chipley suggests that there
shall be fifty meetings in the state, not
less than one in each county, to com
mence on the first Tuesday in March next
and continue TO the finish. 1t seems that
this should satisfy Senator Call and from
the earnestness with which Mr. Chipley
writes probably he will be more than sat
isfed before the fifty meetings shall have
been held.

GRKESviLLE, Miss, Dec. 3l.-Two weeks
ago last Saturday Col. Paxton's residence,
near Arcola, was totally DESTROYED by fire.
II is now known 10 have been the work OF
an incendiary. Seven OF the Colonc's
servants, five men and two women, all col
ored, were arrested a few days ago and
kept under guard. After some time tho
property taken from the house was recov-
cred. Two Of the prisoners confessed their
guilt. One, woman, employed as cook,
had druggcd the coffee, and but for tho
fact that two members Of uc family wcrc
absent at supper time. the whole house
hold might have pcrishod. Az IL was, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Aldridgc, neighbors, were
able TO arouse Colonel and Mrs. Paxton
with great difficulty when the flames were
discovered. The prisoners also confessed
that one Of them stood ut each door with
an axe and gun, intending TO kill any
members Of the family that tried 10 escape,
but the slowncss Of the fire alarmed thcm
and they fled. The news today is that the
seven prisoners, who were under arrest at
Arcola, disappeared last night somewhat
mysicriously. There does not appear 10
have been any motive for the incondiary
crime beyond that Of robbery and pillage.
