An Oversight of the Court.

The case of the State VS. Bob.
Grant and Belinger May and John
Pleasant, charged with grand larce-
ny, was set for a hearing in the JEFF
ferson Circuit Court today, and the
Sheriff, at the instigation of the Pros
eeuting Attorney and the Court, had
spent several days and much money
in summoning witnesses from AL
theimer and Wabbaseka, and this
morning there were at least twenty
men here from those places, as wit
nesseS, who are on expense and who
have left their business when their
presence was most needed; yet they
will be detained at least a day longer
than would be necessary had the
court not forgotten the case, and
dismissed the jury yesterday A new
Jury will have to be impaneled today
This oversight will cost the county
a good deal of money; yet all some
times forget, and, probably, for this
reason the oversight of the court
should be excused.
The above item we clip from yes
terday's Pine Bluff Daily Commercial
We heard the above report was in
correct and In order to be correctly
advised we called on Judge Elliott
and Prosecuting Attorney Martin
this morning and from them OBJ
tanned the following information +:
The State ys. Bob Grant, Bellinger
May. John Pleasant and Bob May,
charged with grand larceny. was
taken up in Court yesterday A spe-
cial Jury was summoned, the case
was tried, and each ofthe above was
convicted and sent to the penitentiary
for four years This looks like cost
ing the county good deal of
money doesn't it? On the other
hand, we must congratulate His
Honor and the Prosecuting Attorney
in having done the biggest days
work during the present session. All

WAREHOUSE IN ASHES.
I've Hundred and Fifty Bales OF Cotton
Destroyed, also Car Load of
Bagging.-work of
Incendiaries.

Just as day was following in the
wake of night this morning the
shrill signal horn Of fire at the water
orks sent forth its demoniac yells
through the air of clear, cool
dawning and told tale the like of
which has brought much distress and
trouble in this city, tale OF the de-
stroying monster, Fire
The alarm was given by Mr.. Max
Wells baker and night Waterman,
Hugh Ross, which located the fire
at Bluthentha warehouse on the
corner of Pine and River streets and
in the rear OF A. Blum's Dry Goods
Emporium.
The warehouse was stored with
cotton. bagging, ties, etc, and
before the fire company could
reach the scene where the fire
was located. the angry flames had
spread all over the entire building.
The fire was first discovered in the
northwest corner of the building.
Along this side were two tiers of
cotton bales which the flames leapad
upon like q fash OF lightning; then
the flames crossed to the next row
OF bales and go on until the entire
warehouse was confiagrations scene
of immense proportions. The
wooden part of the structure soon
caught; the studding first and then
the rafters, and long before it was
expected, the entire iron roof fell in
with an awful thud that reyerberated
for blocks around.
During all this time the heroic fire
men were working brayely and
Inobly to save as much Of the burn
ing cotton as possible and to pro-
tect the buildings around. On the
right stood the Hotel Trulock, in
front and TO the left stood Blums
and Bluthenthal's brick buildings.
Had either of these caught the entire
block from Blum's to Knox's would
have only been remembered by aeon
tinuous heap of black and smoking
ruins.
Fortunately no air wasstirring, tho
day-dawn was peaceful and quiet,
not even disturbed by single gentle
zephyr. The flames were confined It.
the burning building and no damage
whatever was done to other build
ings in such close proximity.
How did the fire occur? Early
this morning we called on Mr.. $. e.
Bluthenthal, who gave it as his IN
qualified opinion that the cotton
WAS SET on FIRE,
and that having noticed a number
OF suspicious characters loafing
around the streets recently that they
took extra precaution and on last
week placed in the warehouse ten
barrels of water and a large number
of buckets to be used in case of an
emergency.
Two yers ago this fall this same
warehouse was destroyed in similar
maner. Bluthenthal Bros. are among
Pine Bluffs most honored merchants;
they are friends to everybody and
everybody is their friend. In this
| disaster that has visited them in the
very midst Of the busy season they
are the recipients OF much sympathy.

BISHOP SIMPSON At BARTON.

We copy the following from thespen
of G. W. Gushing, D. D., iner reference
to the remarkable sermon delivered
in this place by Bishop Simpson in
| 1860 from the column of Zion's Herald.
DR.. Gushing is a brother of the. late
Rev. Ell. P. Gushing, well-kpown here,
and the congressman was the esteem
ed Portus Baxter of Derby Line:
"But I want to allude to another oc-
casion, not referred to by any of your
| correspondents. 1t was Immediately
after the Bishops severe sickness re-
sulting from his visit to the East. He
was holding the Vermont Conference
at Barton, VT. He had not preached
for many months, and was still feeble.
But his physician had told him that
he might preach short, quiet sermon.
His text was: None of these things
move me- My recollection is that
he preached an hour and thirty eight
minutes. And if none Of those things
moved the Apostle Paul, they moved
the apostolic Bishop, and the narration
" CliOAI 111ONO0 ciAO tuO1OllC0
There was in the audience man whose
name I withhold, who, it was said, had
not heard sermon in twenty years.
He was member Of congress, and
had the reputation of being very pro-
fame. The fame of Bishop Simpson
had led him to drive twenty miles that
morning to hear the sermon. He was
little late and could get only stand
ing place in the front of the gallery
1t was not long before an impassioned
burst Of eloquence struck him broad
side, when he careened, burst into
tears and surrendered From that
time on he was at the mercy of the
speaker and seemed oblivious to ev-
erything around him. His handker-
chief had soon ceased to serve it's pur-
pose and his only resort was to his
hands and the skirts of his coat. But
anything that gives relief is in order at
such a time. The air was filed with
sobs and subdued shouts. It is rare
to see such scene repeated in life
time. In the stir at the close of SER
mon, before the ordination, thinking
