Pursuant to long honored custom,
the President of the United States has

giving.
Therefore, l, William Mckinley, Gov
ernor of Ohio, do call upon the people of

vote the day to His praise; let us come
before His presence with Thanksgiving,
and give thanks unto the Lord, for He is
good; let us take the rest Of the Sabbath,
assemble at our several places Of public
worship and around our firesides, and
make the day one Of highest observance
and of home and social rejoicing; and
let us in this day of rejoicing remember
those who are needfui and in trouble,

SUdllm6uC 20.
Mrs. Birdie l.. Nix ct al. this
morning filed an amended petition
against j. T. Norred ct al, c0mpris.
ing the firm known as the n. & NJ
Installment company.
The petition alleges that on June
10Th defendants borrowed $7O4.33
from Birdie Nix and that they re-
fuse to pay same to plaintiffs dam
ages of $1,000.
The plaintiffs pray that a re-
ceiver be appointed to take charge
of the assets, book accounts, proper
ty, chooses in action, notes, mort
cages and all and every kind of prop
,erty belonging to the n. & NJ. In
stallment company, wherever the
same may be, and that J.T. Norred
Il C. S. Meyerhoff be ordered to file
in the Thirty-seyenth district court
"a true and correct account and
SschedHie of the property of that
company, and that they be requir-
ed to deliver to the receiver all
books, notes, etc, of the Installment
company
Plaintiffs aver that on July l.,
1898, the defendants, with the intent
to hinder, delay and defraud their
creditors, did remove and cause to
be removed from said stOre-rooms
and out and from the stock of
goods, wares and merchandise,
large and valuable part of the mer-
chandise, amounting to about $1,000,
to a certain house on the northeast
corner of Lexington avenue and
Dallas street and made a bill of
sale to one j. n. Swain for the pur-
pose of cOncealing the goods from
the creditors.
1t is specially averred that the
$1,000 worth of goods never did pass
to the J. n. Swain in question, and
that since July lst J. T. NOrred has
taken possession of all of the goods
stored in the house on the corner
of Lexington avenue and Dallas
street and now holds and retains
the same.
Plaintiffs further aver that onJ uly
l, J. T. NOrred and c. S. MyerhOtf
made divers false instruments in
writing purpOrting to be prOmis-
sorry notes and writing obligatory
of the company, and that they
have executed promissory notes
amounting in the aggregate to $S,-
go. The plaintiffs aver that the
notes were more fraudulent devices
and were not given for any debts
owing to Charles Myerhotf or
Kahn, MeyerhOff q Co., or any
other person of the n. & n. Install
ment company.

FIRE BUG JAILED.
HE SET FIRE TO THE TEXAS
NATIONAL. BANK,
And Confesses His Guilt-A Prom
inent Citizen Implicated IN the
Daring Deed 1.-Two Attempts Made
to Fire the Building-The White
Man Will be Arrested.

James Frances McGraw, a negro
boy, aged If years, son of a. NJ
McGraw, the we'll known colored
janitor, residing at No. 3Ol South
Center street, was arrested by
Chief Detective Thos. j. Hughes
this morning and placed in the
county jail on two charges, one for
arson and the other for attempted
arson.
On the night of August 9th, one
of the occupants in the second
floor of the Texas National bank
building, on Commerce street, was
amazed on entering his room, to
find that some one had attempted
to set fire to the structure. A pile
of kindling had been placed in the
corner on top of some paper, and
the paper was partly burned. 1t
is thought the breeZes coming
through the window, blew the
flames out. The party who discOv-
cred the attempted arson repaired
to Captain Hughes office, and re-
lated the circumstances. Endeav-
ors were made to locate the fire
demon, but failed.
Yesterday morning Mr.. May,
who has offices with James Dig
nowity in the front room of the
second story of the building, en-
tered the room just in time to see
one portion of the space burning
rapidly. He raised an alarm and
soon the flames were eXtinguished.
A pile of pine sticks, saturated
with coal oil, had been placed in
the corner and set fire to.
AS soon as the fire was put out,
Captain Hughes office was again
visited, and the story of arson was
told. The detective and his as
sistants spent their entire time
yesterday in trying to find some
clue as to who the guilty party
was, but were not successful.
. A. w. McGraw has been the jani
ter in this building for the past
six years. Two weeks ago he was
taken i'll and trusted the work of
cleaning the offices to his son,
James Francis McGraw. Captain
Hughes suspected the young man
AMI sent an officer after him.
At 10 o'clock this morning Nc
Graw was taken to the detectives
office and questioned. After an
hours hard talking, Captain
Hughes succeeded in getting the
truth out of the negro, and he was
taken to jail.
He said: 81 am the one who
tried to set fire to the building on
the night of August 9Th, and also
set fire to the building yesterday
morning.
"Why did you do it??" asked tie
detective.
because a white man told me
to-" was his reply.
"We1l, tell us all about it," said
the Captain.
81 was working in the building
as janitOr In the absence of my
father, and several days ago a
white man, Mr. came to me
and said if l would burn the house
down he would pay me, but he
did not tell me how much he was
going to give me. | was short of
money and thought l would do as
he requested"
Captain Hughes stated to a
LIGHT reporter that for the present
the name of the white man would
be withheld. He is inclined to be-
lieve that the boy is making false
statement, though thorough in
vestigatiOn of the affair will be
made, and the white man will be
placed under arrest.
