BURNED TO The GROUND
The Ice Factory Swept Away
by the Fire Fiend.
Was 1t the Work of Ineendiaries p
Nothing Saved.

Graham & Company's ice factory
is in ashes.
Yesterday morning about o'clock
fire was discovered in the gable of the
main building When it was first
seen it was making considerable head
way, but might have been extinguished
had it not been for the ammonia
which it was feared might explode and
send some one crashing through the
zodiac"
After the explosion took place, the
fire was too far advanced to do any
thing with.
The entire factory, including the en-
gine and storage rooms, was consumed
and nothing was left except the water
tanks some distance from the factory.
The factory was quite large con-
cern, and had all the machinery COM
mon to first class establishment of
the kind.
Two hundred kegs of beer, which
had been stored in the packing room,
were consumed.
There were several tons of ice in the
building and it was more or less
scorched, but what remains is said to
be as good as any, and will suffice to
satisfy the peoples wants until more
can be received from other points.
The factory was first class and had
one of the finest storage rooms to be
found.
There is no means of accounting for
the origin of the fire except that it be
the work of incendiaries. There had
been no fire whatever about the build
ings for day or two, as the boiler was
undergoing repairs.
The insurance is said to have COW
cred about half the loss.
The company organized with cap
ital stock of $4,000.
They will not let the fire interfere in
the least with the supply of ice. Ar
rangements have been made to keep a
continual supply, and the company
will do their best to satisfy the people.
The beer which was lost belonged to
the Knoxville Brewing Company
Adams, their travelling man, was here
yesterday and said that the loss to his
company by the destruction OF the
beer amounted to $500.

RUN OUT OF THE COUNTY.
Whipped his Young Wife..His Father

By Telegraph to The Comet,
CLEVELAND, Tenn, July 22.-News
has been received in this city of IL
scandalous sensation in Polk county.
A few days ago young married man
of that county was discovered in illicit
relations with a negro woman. When
his young wife heard of this affair she
was, of course, very much aggrieved
and upbraided him for his conduct.
This SO enraged him that he procured
lash from his dusky concubine and
held his wife while the negro woman
administered to her terrible fi0gging.
While the whipping was going on
the young mans father and another
man happened upon them, and they
were compelled to desist from their
disgraceful and inhuman work. The
father took his sons wife home with
him and commanded her brutal hus-
band to leave the country and never
show his face in that county again.
He left at once. The parties concern
ed are among the best known people
in the county. We withhold their
names on account of the responsibility
and prominence of the family.

They all expressed themselves de

doned for the omission, We will say,
however, that they were all good peo-

They were given to jokes, and kept
up laugh nearly all the time, in order
to be ready for any cows that might
get killed.
Jake Bewley, the COW coroner for the

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, July 22.-In a
little strip of woods near the subur-
ban town of Pratt Mines party OF
Sunday strollers in the afternoon
made a horrible discovery.
Suspended by the neck from the
bending trunk of an oak tree was the
body of q white man with its fea-
lures swollen and decaying and al
ready past recognition. The man was
well dressed, his clothing indicating
that he moved in the best circles. His
black crushed hat was silk lined and
was a No. ~ He had on custom
made shoes No, 5, puffed bosom shirt,
light coat and black pants of the best
material.
The only thing about him that may
serve to identify the man is the letter
81" and the figures "12" embroidered
on a white silk handkerchief. Also, O
piece of brown paper with the words
"Smith Bros, Hillman," written on it
He had seemingly climbed a small
sapling, leaned over, tied the rope
around the trunk OF the large tree and
jumped off. Nothing has been devel
oped to support the theory OF murder
The qustion is "Who is he."

rain came about 3 arm. of that day
1t was so light in fall that for time
the public considered the claims of a
fall by Melbourne as the last grasp of
drowning man at straw. But verifi-
cation has come from several quarters,
and the sports who put up their money
on what they considered a sure thing
are now reluctantly replenishing the
exchequer of Melbourne's brother.
The fulfillment OF Melbourne's
promises of rain has in
creased public interest in the
claims OF this strage man. Portraits
Of his well known features are appear
ing in display windows OF business
houses, and the curiosity seekers are
eagerly making purchases. Newspa-
per men from abroad have been here
after the wizards secret, but have
left empty handed. Melbourne
when informed of the great discovery
made by a correspondent, would
neither deny or affirm. He had un-
derstood that an attempt had been made
by unknown parties to break into his
quarters during the night. He claims
that he has SO arranged the interior
that trespassers will receive such q sur
prise that there will be no repetition ol
their meddling. Melbourne states he
will bring heavy rains on every Sun
day in July and August 80 there will
be no room for question.

the mail was opened and no COMETS
in it; for the head and tail Of the
COMET were here yesterday, and if all
reports be true they overloaded their
digestive organs with garden products
and not being satisfied with what they
could eat here loaded themselves with
cucumbers and, of course, that was
enough to kill anything except one
kind of animals that can eat anything
and live. OF course we don't compare
the head and tail of THE COMET to
that animal but was little bit afraid
they would eat too much, not being
use to having plenty, as every body
knows that editors are always hardup,
to hear them tell it. But we hope
they are still able to get out the CON-
EFT, for without it the country would
be ignorant of what is going on in the
outside world. Come oftener, gentle
men, Allentown would like to have
plenty OF just such men and citizens.
We feel confident that with such men
at the head and tail of it the COMET
will make lively newspaper of the
