went back for another. Mrs. Thomas be-
gan unpacking, and, forgetting that some
powder had been packed in a box with bed
clothes, jerked out a parcel of powder, which
fell on the hearth and became ignited. The
powder flashed up, throwing the flames over
Mrs. Thomas and two little children. One
child was only slightly singed, the other was
badly burned, the mother tearing off its
clothes even after the nails were burned from
her own fingers. Mrs. Thomas ran out
Of doors and, falling down, rolled over
several times in the vain effort to extin-
guish the flames. Her clothing was burned
up and her face and greater portion of her
body burnt to crisp. Her cries finally
attracted the attention Of some one work
ing in field some distance of. This man
reached the house in time to put out the fire
in the house which had burned through the
floor, near the fireplace. In short time
the house would have been consumed. Mrs.
Howard died in q few hours, living long
enough to give q clear account of the ac-
cident. The deceased was a daughter of
Mr.. Dempsey Roberts and q good woman.
At the instance of the bank of the uni
versty, Judge N. L. Hutchins has ap-
pointed temporary receiver to take charge
of the affairs of the firm OF Julius Cohen &
Co., of Athens. Mr. Charles w. Baldwin
was the gentleman appointed by Judge
Hutchins. Accordingly the doors Of the
store are closed aud the inventory Of the
stock is beng taken. Monday the store will
again be opened and the stock W III be closed
out. The cause of the failure wa1 a short
sale Of the spring goods and bad collec-
lions. Inc debts Que by the firm had to be
met. and collections placed them where
they could not meet them. The firm, seeing
that they must fail, determined to protect
their home creditors, and accordingly exc
cuted mortgages on their stock to the
amount of $4,000. These mortgages have
been recorded at the court house, and are
as follows: The Bank of the University,
$1,000; H. B. Masters of New York, and
DR.. j. A. Hunnicutt, 5000; Mrs. Charles
Reese. $2,500; Capt J. J. G. McMahau,
$1,000; Mrs. g. II. Yaucey. $3.50; Mrs.
Fannie Crane, 81, 800; Mrs. Emma Barwick,
81, 800. Thecondition of the firms business is
as follows: aThe liabilities amount to about
S50,000 The assets amount to betw
S45, 900 and So, 900. II is believed that with
proper management the assets will cover
the liabilities and that the firm will be en-
abled to pay its debts to the full extent. 1t
Is quite certain that the home creditors are
fully protected and will recaive one hundred
cents on the dollar. G. II. Yancey is the
partner in the firm.
