fBy telegraph 10 the Dispatch.l
WINSTON, N. c., November l5.-1he fire which
broke out last night in the three-story storage
building. filed with hay, burned all night In
spite Of grateful rain, which put out all other
smouldering fires In the burned blocks.
There was considerable excitement In the
early evening, caused by the discovery OF a rag
saturated with kerosene burning IA the rear OF a
small house on east Fifth street. No clue to the
incendiary. Mayor Kerner to-day publishes
card discredting the idea OF incendlarism by
negroes In the town. The most influential col
ored citizens met last night and adopted resolu-
tions OF sympathy with the sufferers by the t1re.
The two second fires could not possibly have
originated by sparks from the nrst nre, anu
there is much mystery as 10 their origin.
The burned-out businessmen have secured
new quarters for the winter, and almost all OF
them will rebuild in the spring. Everything is
ouiet.

Some interesting facts about the geo
logical ancestors of the horse have been
made known by Professor Marsh. Vari-
Gus forms Of horselike animals that lived
in Americs in those remote times known
to the BIOLOGISTS as the eocene. miocene
and pliocene epochs. and which may
have occurred millions of years ago,
have been unearthed. and science has
not shrunk from the task of reconstruct
ing these animals from their fragment
AIRY remains.
The curiously interesting statement is
made by Professor Marsh that 1.-The old
,st ancestor Of the horse-as yet undis-
eovered-undoubted had five toes on
eael. foot and probably was not larger
than rabbit. perhaps much smaller.
He even ventures TO predict in which Of
the geological strata this animal will
probably be found and suggests that it
be named ''Hippops."
In modern times n horse is occasion
ally seen which possesses extra toes.
thus showing the existence Of a slight
tendency. under certain conditions. To
revert TO the peculiarities Of its remote
ancestors.
This tendency is one of the proofs
which science has to offer that the noble
and beautiful animal, whose services
add so much tothe powers and the en-
joyments of man, has really been devel-
oped from those queer beasts Of ancient
times to which the biologists have given
such names as eohippus, orohippus, pro-
tohippus. miohippus and pliohippuA--

long weary tramp without finding any
thing to replonish the larler, for the
country had been secured by foraging
parties several times before We finally
sighted cabin inhabited by an Irish
woman. In high board inclosure were
a dozen fat geese. We arranged it that
| should engage the woman in converse
ton while my companion appropriated a
goose. He fastened long linen thread to
his hayonet. attached well haited fish
hook and began angling in the goose pen.
Suddenly there was loud squawking
and we saw big fat gander hutter to
the top of the pen and make toward the
soldier, who was beating retreat. The
woman was greatly amused. and called
out, Och. me darlint. don't run; shure
