premises occupied by +. s. Tirersky,
matchmaker and ieweller, on COlumbia
street, and the whole block of buildings
were in blaze before the department had
succeeded in getting to work.

flames and they were at last getting them
under control when an explosion occurred
in the rear of the store first mentioned. II
broke almost every pane of glass within 6
radius of half mile and burst ali the hose
pumping on the fire.
The Masonic Temple, next adjacent, ha(
up to this moment been considered abso
lutely safe, but the breakage of its windows
caused draught which sucked the flames
inward and in o minute the whole interior
of the building was on fire. 1t was four

A solid, sensible-looking woman, who

entered the baggage-rooms OF the Third

"Ifmy husband went in the baggage-car

She managed to choke down her indig-
nation when told that no such change
could be effected. but later on, in the
wniting-room, she was giving her husband
fits, and it was. probably because he was
satisfied with the rule Of the road.

NOT CASE.
II is hardly probable that case can be
made out against Morris Gum, the negro
who is suspected of having murdered the
late Thomas b. Neal, of Ringgold. The
principal cause of suspicion against him
was that he had several hundred dollars
soon after Mr.. Meals body was found, but
Gum proves that he sold fine crop of to-
bacco in this city and Milton, amounting
to more than five hundred dollars.

operations for time and then inquired:
Pop, why do you put those Eaters in

by so doing each one will bring me
back ten," replied the father.
The boy went away and when his father
came up TO dinner he found him digging in
the yard and asked:
Sonny, what are you seeking for?"
"Why. pop. have planted the clock, the
bootjack, two umbrellas, the teapot,
your Sunday hat, mas shoes, and table
cloth, and each one will bring me back
ten"
"You young idiot, come out and be para
lyzed," shouted the father, and he tanned
that boy up and down aud crosswise and
sidewise until, the supply of peach-tree
limbs gave out.
