Arrest Of G.. W. Rich and Capt. J, T.
JAMESON.

Special to the Times Democrat.
Purvls, Miss. July l5.-To-day has
been a busy ono with District Attor-
mey Neville.
First this morning came the cases
against e. W. Rich of this county and
j. L. Jameson, Of Laudcrdalc coun-
~, who were brought TO this place bv
The sheriffs of their respective coun-
lies last night, arrested on warrants
issued by w. w. Robinson, made by
w. j. COwart, sheriff of Marion coun.
~, charging them with aiding and
abettlng the SuIlivan-Kilrain tight.
These parties waived an examina-
ton and were placed under bonds Of
$1,000 each, for appearance at the next
term of the Circuit Court. This is
probably the largest bond ever re-
qnircd or given in a misdcmcanor
case in the State. The bonds were
furnished and the defendants dischar-
gcd.
District Attorney Neville has been
in consultation with many parties, but
he will not talk yet. Rumor has it
that afidavits have been made against
II. G. Carroll and +. L. Tyler, super
imtendent of the New Orleans and
Northeastern Railroad, and that the
Governor has been rec ues,ed to issue
extradition papers for them.
Thus begins the first fight against
the railroad. Nearly everybody is
with the Governor in this affair, and
it can be safely said that the accused
parties will have a warm fight on their
hands.

done her Only the night before last, in
talking with her, she spoke very wildly and

who Pettus Was.
Pettus was one Of the best known business
men in Brooklyn and his wealth is estimated
at from $500, 900 to 81, 100000 He was one
of the charter members of the Montauk
club, of Brooklyn, and Of the Oxford club,
Of the same city. He was also a member OF
the Manhattan club, of New York. He had
no children, and his wife, charming south
ern lady, is an invalid She was prostrated
with grief at the news of her husbands
tragic death and may die.
She Had Assaulted Him Before.
On March 90 Mrs. Southworth assaulted
Pettus with an umbrella and was fined $50.
She attempted to assault him twice there
after and had brought two actions against
him, one for SIS, 900 and another for $4,000
damages. The first suit was dismissed, as it
had not been brought within the time pre-
scribed by the statutes of limitations The
latter suit is still pending.

LYNN DEVASTATED.
The Bay State Towns Fiery Orceal-Loss
$4,000. 900.

&IO.OOO.OOO.
LYNN, Mass Nov. 27-Lynn, the city of
shoes, was visited yesterday afternoon by the
most disastrous and most extensive fire in its
history. With two exceptions, it was the
most disastrous fire that has ever visited this
section of the country, the exceptions being
the Boston fire of 1872, when over $50, 600, 900
worth of property was destroyed, and the
Portland fire of 1866. which caused loss of
from Sl0,0O0O0o to sl2,OO0,00O.
The fire ragged eight hours, and devastated
square mile of the business section of the
city The fire swept over an area of twenty
acres destroying 296 structures as follows:
One hundred and twelve dwelling houses, 142
frame business houses and forty-two brick
blocks The railroad depot, three newspa-
per offices, the telegraph office and church
were among them. The loss is varionsly esti-
mated at from s5,0oO000 to SIC, ,000,0 900, but
the latter is believed by real estate experts
to be nearer the real figure. In fact, the
greater part of Ward is wiped out as re-
CARDS the important shoe manufacturing
blocks and prominent places of business.
| The fire started in Mowers wooden build
ing on Almont street, over the boiler room,
and spread with such rapidity that the ex-
cellent fire department of the city was pow
erless to cope with it. This large wooden
building was soon doomed, and the flames
leaped across narrow passageway and
communicated with the six story brick
block known as Mowers block When these
two buildings were we'll under way it was
evident terrible confagration would re-
suit. Almost simultaneously the four story
wooden shoe factory of Bennett & Barnard
on Central avenue and the four story wood
en- building on Almont street, took fire, and
when under way hurricane of flame was
in progress which terrorized all who were
looking on. The efforts of fremen and citi-
zens seemed to be of no avail
The burned territory is bounded by the
following streets: Almont, Central avenue,
at its junction with Willow street; Union
street from its junction with Broad to the
Boyden block, on both sides; Mount Vernon
street entire; Central square entire; Beach
street on both sides as far down as Lees
lumber yard; Washington street, from Mum
roe through to Union; Railroad avenue; all
of Exchange street; Broad street, from the
engine house. on both sides, up as far as the
corner of Exchanges Spring street entire,
besides dwelling houses too numerous to
mention on Suffolk, Arnity, SagamMe and
! Beach streets

The Republic Stands Firm.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-Dr. valente. the
Brazilian minister, has just received the
following cablegram from Ruy Barbosa,
the minister of finance OF the provisional
government at Rio de Janeiro:
IAN the provinces have signified their
adherence to the republic and provisional
government without any resistance or pro-
test. The government in each state is being
rapidly organized. A decree of the pro-
visional government has extended the right
of suffrage to all citizens except only those
unable to read or write. The archbishop,
the head of the church. has conferred his
solemn benediction upon the new govern
ment and the republic"
DIR. Valente places no credence whatever
in the published reports coming from Europe
limiting at the instability Of the new govern
ment and probable breaking up of Brazil
into three separate states He regards the
republic as fixed and permanent, and that
the new congress which will be elected under
the enlarged suffrage proposed by the pro-
visional government will complete the or
ganiza ton Of the new republic in manner
entirely satisfactory to the people Of Brazil.

orders for the squadron to proceed to Brazil
to look after United States interests there,
nor does he expect to receive any such or

cruisers is simply tremendous. Launches,

New York, Nov. 21.--In the investigation
now being made by the commissioners of
city accounts into alleged irregularities in
connection with the leasing and manage
ment of the city docks, evidence has been
brought out showing that S13, 900 had been
raised by wholesale oyster dealers for the
purpose of influencing legislation which
would secure to the oystermen the exclusive
use Of pier 81, North river. This money
was paid to Col. John O'Byrne, who acted
as counsel for the oystermen. 1t was also
stated that the fish dealers had made up a
purse of $50, 900, which had been used in So

adverse. only Delaware, New Jersey and
Kentucky casting their votes for Mcclellan
and Pendleton His term of service as
United States senator began on March A,
1878, as the successor of Stanley Matthews.
Mr. Pendleton's chief political reputation OF
late years rested upon his advocacy OF the
civil service reform bill, which he originated,
and which owed its passage mainly to his
labors and sagacity. On account OF bis
prominence in this matter he made many
enemies in the party ranks.
He was made minister to Germany under
President Cleveland. In May, 1886, his wife
was killed by an accident caused by run

speaker were very great. During several
years subsequent to 1869 he was president of
