DR.. SemmeS' Residence Burned
to the Ground

About $40 o'clock this (Thursday)
morning, fire was discovered in the up
per story of DR.. A. T.. Semlnes' resi-
dence on Academy street. The fire
department WAS promptly at the scene,
but on account of deficient water
supply was unable to extinguish the
flames. The house was entirely con-
sumed. and one or two out houses were
completely demolished to arrest the
fire and protect surrounding buildings.
We understand the burnt residence
was insured for 1000 which is some-
what less than will be required to re-
place it. All things considered, the
DR. was exceedingly fortunate in hav-
ing saved about everything of value in
the way Of furniture and household
goods. From parties present. we
learn that the building could have been
saved, had water been procurable and
convenient. The origin of the fire is
unknown, but supposed to have re-
suited from defective chimney.
This accident is another argument
in favor of water works, and one, We
think, our citizens should not ignore.

Canton Races.

The races which took place last Tues
day and Wednesday under the manage

Canton track, was the beginning of a
series of race entertain ments that MIR.

ton. Lack of space prevents more than
casual mention of the magnificent stud
of standard and thorough horses
that made the opening races an occa-
sion of much enjoyment to the crowd
that were in attendance. On acco unit
of short notice there was not as large
an attendance as the merit and rep
utation of the famous horses that
were entered, justified. We are graft
fed to know that Mr.. Van Buren, will
give to our people occasional race
matinees, which we think the people
of Canton and Madison county should
appreciate and patronize. We want
to see Canton made the race horse
center of the state, and we fully be-
lieve Mr.. Van Buren, is competant to
achieve this distinction, If he is proper
ly supported by the people of the
county.
Tuesday, the opening days races,
were as follows:

A Negro Killed.

Last Wednesday evening down at
the free show conducted by DR.. Els.
worth. opposite the Walker house,
Sam Powell, a well known colored man,
met Josh Whiting, and engaged in a
con troversy with lin in regard to some
matter of business. 1t appears the
parties had been partners in job and
differed in settlement involving the
small amount of forty cents and it was
for this trivial smonnt of money that
the men engaged in an encounter
which resulted in Whitney pulling his
pistol and shooting Powell through the
heart. The grand jury, now in session
will, we presume, at once investigate
the affair, thus obviating the necessity
of preliminary trial before the city
court.
We have been unable to get at all the
facts, hence make no comments, other
than a vigorous appeal to the officers
of the law to vindicate justice though
the heavens fall. Madison county has
a bloody record that needs to be oblit-
Grated by few hangings. Nothing
short of this will wipe from her other
wise fair escutcheon the blood stains
that have furnished her good name.
