TIE LOST ONE FOUND

The young lady, Miss Jackson, that
wandered away from her home, in
this city, last Friday night while
laboring under temporary ALTERATION
of mind, was found at Greenwood.
This was a most joyful surprise to
her relatives and friends. Sad news
as to the health Of her sister in New
York caused melancholy depression
to come over her. Though exposed
to the terrible rain storm we are glad
to relate she met with no accident.
She imagined that she was going to
her sister. She was met at Greenwood
by kind lady and cared for until her
brother went out and brought her
home on Sunday evenings train.

REV. SAM JONES.

We have just passed through a
series of evangelical meetings of two
weeks duration. DIR. II. NJ. Wharton,
of Baltimore, came among US unher-
aided by any great advertising almost
unknown 70 all save few of our CIT
liens. Each successive day that he
stood up before the Shreveport peo-
pie increased his popularity with
them, until it seemed that he won the
hearts OF all, and it was with regret
that all-regardless of whatever de-
nomination, faith or belief-gave him
up He gave to the people the Cos
pei pure and simple, and the effects
in our churches plainly indicate the
good he did. Some forty or fifty
persons have already united with the
Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian
churches. The influence has been
felt for good on many who will, after
a season of mature thought, DO like
wise, and long after DR.. Wharton will
have left us the good seeds sown
while here will produce good results.
Word comes to us through the Dal-
las press every day of the good going
on out there Sam Jones, as he is
most familirly known. seems to be do
ing a great work out there. as he does
everywhere he goes. 1t is our belief
that an effort should be made to have
him come to our city.
Many criticise the Rev. Sam Jones
very severely, but we fail to ever have
seen the time when if he can get
chance to tell them of their faults but
that they are ready to take it back.
IL we reflect for moment that there
is no other man of this age that can
go to any place, no matter where, and
thousands will flock to hear him. We
fail to ever have met person that
has heard him say that he does not
like him. The reporter does not live,
nor never will, that can truly portray
him. One must hear him to get any
sort of an idea of the man and his
power as public speaker. 1t seems
to us that there ought to be a move
set on foot to have him come here and
spend at least ten days. This is
good time. We know that there are
many here who are ready to offer crit
icisms, but all this will fall to the
ground when they once bear him. He
will tell us whole lot of truths; how
mean we are; how mean we treat our
wives, and whole catalogue of our
shortcomings until we feel there is
not one spark of good left in us. 1t
is just what we need, and we say that
it Is in order now for move to be set
on foot to have Rev. Sam Jones come
if it is possible to get him. Every
railroad, as they do every where else,
will give reduced rates, and during
his stay with us they will be loaded,
bringing people from every where to
listen to him. 1t will require taber-
nacle or compress to hold the i'm
mense crowd. If it is built Mr.. Jones
will see that it is paid for. No great
risk will be had in inviting him here
Lay aside all prejudice and all join |
together and have Rev. Sam Jones
come to Shreveport. 1t will be big |
hing for our city.

In former years there was danger Of the
extension of anthrax, because there was
little or no inspection OF cattle, and
quarantine regulations were lax or not
in existence. Great strides have beer
made in the treatment and restriction OF
contagious diseases among cattle, aG

troll the Reading system.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The Herald pub
fishes long article this morning giving
some of the details of an alleged big
deal by which the Lehigh Valley and the
Jersey Central railroads have apparently
set out to shackle the Reading Railroad
Company which, on account of its vast
coal properties and the huge debt with
which they are saddled, must mine the
lions share Of the output in order to
meet its fixed charges.
1t is stated that the Lackawana Road
may be a party to this scheme. It is
alleged.that the Jersey Centrals original
$4,000, 900 subscription to the Reading
Company's rehabilitation plan was made
in order ito give it a foothold in the
Reading management whether the lat
ter was successful or not
The statement is also made that Le-
high Valley influence with Reading has
remained undiminished ever since the
dissolution of the partnership.
The Lehigh Valley is extremely
anxious to acquire the North Pennsyl-
sylvania branch of the Reading. as an
outlet of Philadelphia. Exactly what

FIRE IN CHESTERTOWN.

Loss Of Life Narrowly Averted p Had

Burned Buildings.
CHEsTERTowE, Sept. 2-Fire, which
threatened to burn the entire northwest
section of Chestertown, broke out yester-
day at o'clock in the laundry building
owned and occupied by Miss Kate Dill
hofer on North Calvert street. John Ii.
Palmer, who manages the business, was
asleep in the Office which adjoins the
front Of the building used as a store. He
was nearly smothered by the smoke
When discovered the whole front Of the
building was in blaze. It was evident
from the first, that nothing could be
saved The flames spread so rapidly
that It was impossible TO get to Miss
Dilhofer, who sleeps in the rear of the
building, and a ladder had to be procured
and she escaped from the window.
The large brick building adjoining,
belonging TO George Dilhofer and occu-
pied by Mrs. Fannie Bennett, soon
caught, and without sufficient force Of
water, IL was evident the building was
doomed In the meantime, a double
frame dwelling adjoining the laundry on
the other side, near College avenue
caught and was burned TO the ground.
At this time several buildings were on

feared, but the FIRE was put out by the
bucket brigade. The men with the hose
were fighting the bre which had spread
to the double frame dwelling adjoining
and south Of the brick dwelling of
George Dilhofer. II this house had been
burned the block would have been swept
away by the FIRE. The property burned
was the best on the street, and com
prised comparatively new buildings ex.
cept the brick dwelling.
Some one in turning on the Ere plug
near the building turned 1t the wrong
way, uniting it for use, and compelling
the hose to be carried to High street, the
nearest plug that is along College avenue
