THE ARSON CASE.

The preliminary trial of Mr.. b.
Levy on the charge of arson, grow
ing out of the burning of Messrs.
Cohen Bros. store last December
was commenced before Justice
Curry in the county court room
Tuesday afternoon.
County Attorney B. S. Rogers
represented the State and W. W.
Searcy and o. L. Eddins Esq's., the
defendant.
frankie Levy, who was brought
here by Sheriff league and County
Attorney Rogers Monday from
Columbus was put on the stand,
and her testimony all reduced to
writing. She was questioned con-
corning some letters from the defen-
dant, and while admitting receiving
them, testified that they were
burned last Saturday. Moth
ing of Importance was adj
duced, apparently, though many of
the questions asked and answered
may have sequel as was intlmated
by the prosecution, and were made
part of the record.
At the conclusion of this woman's
testimony, none of whichSappeared
damaging to Levy, the case was con-
tinued until Thursday morning,
when two other witnesses for the
State will be produced, one of
whom is a detective that has been
shadowing the woman who testified
Tuesday.
The case attracted considerable
attention and the court room was
crowded from the beginning of the
trial until the close, and the crowd
were entertained by the friendly
sparring of the attorneys, and the
sensational developments t b a t
seemed ready to crop out all the
time but never materialized.
Apparently the woman's testimo-
ny was worthless to the State, and
in favor of the defendant, and unless
more is adduced Thursday morning
there would be no case against him.

About three weeks ago a mad dog
in the western part of the city bit a
SOW belonging to DIR. Williamson, a
COW belonging to Mr.. Wallie vii
kins and Peter Bradford's boy, about
six years of age, before it was killed.
The skin was not broken on the COW
and it is not believed she will have
hydrophobia, but Yesterday morn
ing DR.. Williamson discovered that
his SOW had q genuine case of by
drophobia and at once shot her.
Fears are entertained for the fate of
the boy, who was bitten at the same
time.
In view of the number of dogs
that was bitten by this dog before
he was dispatched, it would be well
enough for people owning dogs to
keep an eye on them and chain them
up if they begin to show any signs
of hydrophobia. This is a season
of the year when it is actually dan
gerous for dogs to be running
al ound promiscuously anyway.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
The Arrest of MIR. H. Levy on charge of
Arson.

The Arrest of MIR. H. Levy on charge of
Arson.
Something of a sensation was
caused Monday just before noon by
the arrest of Mr.. Il. Levy, clerk in
the dry goods establishment of
Messrs. Cohen Bros, and his in
generation in the county jail. This
was only temporary, however, as i'm
mediately after noon or as soon
as the bond could made out he
gave it in the sum of $1,000 for his
appearance before Justice Curry
this tuesday morning, when he
will have a preliminary hearing
The arrest grows out of the burn
ing of Messrs. Cohen Bros. store
last December, and when the re-
porter called on them for informa-
ton in regard to the charge they
made the statement that Levy did
not have key to the store, that
there were only two keys and they
each had one on the night of the
fire.

ELECTION RETURNS.

The Commissioners Court met
Wednesday morning to canvass the
election returns, the result of which
is as follows:
For amendment to section 4 Art. 6
relating to voting, 1856; against SIS.
For amendment to Sec. 5, Art. 7,
of the Constitution, 307 against g..
For amendment to Sec. IL, Art. Is,
to reduce rate of interest, 3S7; against
81.
F.. For local control, 129; against 328.
For amendment to Article of the
Constitution relating to the Judiciary
303; against lis.
For representative of the 72nd
district, S. G. Ragsdale, 367; VIM.
Bode, s.
As will be seen by the above vote
all the amendments were carried by
good majorities, except for local
control, which was overwhelmingly
defeated, showing that this county
takes no stock in anything that even
savors of prohibition, for
In this county almost everybody,
Are fond of their toddy,
And drink pure old Rye,
Whenever they get dry,
Which doesn't concern anybody.
At least that is what one would i'm
ply by the vote cast at the recent
election.
Major Ragsdale's vote was small,
but is explained on the ground that
he had no opposition, and the peo-
pie did not take enough interest in
he election to go to the polls. He
got most of the vote polled, however
eight complimentary votes were cast
for Col. VIM. Bode.

Around Chappen Hill.

Mr., Joe Routt, of Chappell Hill,
was in the city Tuesday. and FROM
him the reporter learned that every
thing was quiet in his baliw1ck. He
says that Chappel Hill is receiving
about forty bales of cotton per day,
and that the gins are kept busy,
though cotton picking is somewhat
retarded by frequent showers. In
the Brazos bottom the worms are
making terrible ravages on the
young cotton planted after the over
flow, and are being poisoned with
London purple. The old cotton is
too tough. for them to do much
damage and where they take to it
they are allowed to go it unmolested
and eat all they can of it unseasoned
with the poisonous London purple.
