few mattresses saved from the burned tenements for a bed, and no prospects of a breakfast this morning.
 Fathers returned from work last night to find their homes burned to the ground and no trace of their wives and little ones. Children who had been at work as cash. boys and girls in the big dry goods and other stores were barred out from the streets where they resided and could find no trace of their parents.
 Late at night, when the fire had spent itself, there could be found men and wom- en guarding their little stock of furniture The women were crying, and the little ones huddled close to their parents, terri fled with the scenes they had gone through during the day.
 Many Bremen Overcome.
 The St. Vincent de Paul society did good work in collecting the children and women and giving them shelter in the schoolrooms and various homes. The drug stores in the neigh borhood were used as hospitals for the large mum Der of f1remen who were over come by the dense smoke and were suffer ing from burns caused by the flying em- bers. The saloons in and around the burn ed district were closed by order of the DO lice
 A walk around the burned district after the conflagration was over showed the vast territory which the fire fiend had traversed Around by the baseball ground there was presented a sea of chimney stacks, with only the brick and stone foundations ot the houses standing. Thousands of people from far and near came to view the specta- cle, and the police had considerable work in keeping the crowds outside the fire linn, its. Over 30 engines played all night on the burning ruins.
 The fire started in a pile of lumber which was lying under the right field bleachers directly back of first base, on the ball grounds. A group of boys was seen near the place few minutes before, and at the time the fire was discovered they ran away. Before any of the spectators could follow | them it was evident that the fire needed | all of their attention. In a moment it had leaped up to the seats, and famed by brisk breeze it swept toward the grand | stand.
 So rapidly did the flames spread that be | fore the occupants of the grand stand real ized it the fire was upon them, and they were forced to flee with all haste, the ones in the rear narrowly escaping being caught The woodwork was as dry as punk. Nc rain has fallen for some time, and it was several minutes before the f1remen were 1 at work. There was roar and there was nothing left but ashes, as the flames swept on through the rafters of the struc- ! ture.

As he come up one of them called
out, banteringly:
"Wen, Eph. you better git ready

This, with the loud gufYaw that
followed IL, gave Ephraim to under

palled, he rushed within doors.

that had been built TO hold the dis

ishment, his hat pushed back, his
knees bent forward. At last he
calculated:

II did," snapped a voice beside
him.
And he turned Tn see the speaker,
who, bonnet in hand, stood looking
steadily at him. For "A moment he
stared in slow recognition, then
d"awled:
"Why, Melissy Jones'"
"No, sir-Mrs. Morrison, Mr..

And with head held high, she

Each day OF the fair, Ephraim ling
cred about the pumpkins, and each
day, meeting the Widow Morrison,
strove TO draw her into conversation;
but her accrbity did not diminish.
On the last afternoon he met her
there, looking at the string Of cot
tony blue ribbon attached TO her
largest pumpkin.

awkwardly. ''at yeu got IL. | did

For Attorney General.

Some Of the Mississippi Democratic
newspapers have already begun the
work Of making State ticket for the
election which occurs in 1895. 1t is
somewhat early to express preferences
but we think it not at all premature
or untimely to suggest that the next
State ticket will not be complete and
proper unless 1t contains the name of
Capt. Frank Johnston as the nominee
for Attorney.General.
As is we'll know, Capt. Johnston was
appointed to fill out an expired term.
His service began soon after the adop-
tion Of the new Constitution and new
Code, and his duties have been es-
pecially numerous and arduous. But
his great ability and conscientious de-
votion to duty have made him equal to
every occasion and every requirement
Of the Office, and he has made a repu-
tation unexcelled, If equalled, by any o {
his distinguished predecessors.
Therefore, without expressing a pref
prepce as to the composition Of the rest
Of the State ticket we unhesitatingly
say that Captain Johnston has Justly
earned the nomination, for Attorney
General, and that the Democracy Of
Mississippi should cheerfully give It to
him. We do not think he will have
any opposition for the nomination. and
in fact. there should be none.-1Icks-

A DAMAGING ADMISSION
E. L. Sykes Says He Was to Use
Money For Barnard &CO.
Was to Spend Money to Influence
Legislation For Them
Says That is the Way He Used the
Money Of His Firm
The QuestSon Naturally Arises in What
Way Were the Funds Used to
Secure Legislation?
A DAMAGING ADMISSION

During the Sykes trial at Meridian.
letter was produced in which the defen-
dant was authorized to use the firms
money In trying to effect the passage of
a certain bill in the Legislature in the
interest Of the firm.
Mr.. Sykes, it is reported, also claim
ed that he had an order from the St.
Louis firm, G. D. Barnard & Co., to Sc
cure the passage OF a certain bill by the
Legislature in the interest of the firm,
for which services he was to receive
$l0O extra Vicksbury p ost
The friends of Mr.. z. L. Sykes will be
pleased to learn that he has been &C.
Quilted of the charge brought against
him by Barnard a. Co., the St. Louis
, firm, which he represented so faithfully
, in this state. Mr.. Sykes charges land
the court at Meridian evidently believed
him. that the money alleged to have
been appropriated by him was used in
securing legislation favorable TO the
firm. and in promoting their interests
in the various counties in the State.
Mr.. Sykes is we'll known throughout
the State, and there can be no doubt
that he secured Barnard & Co., many
contracts in the face of other firms
being lower and better bidders than
the cause represented by him. If Mr..
Sykes will only tell all he knows about
the combination between Barnard &
Co., and other firms for division of
the work in this State, it will prove
very interesting reading matter for
the tax payers.-C0mmcrciol Hcrald.
The above articles are comments
upon the following telegram sent from
Meridian to the st. Louis Rlp'tJ-
lie:
MERIDIAN, Miss, July 3l.-Capt. E.
l.. Sykes, former travelling salesman
for Geo. D. Barnard & Co.. the St. Louis
on four counts, charged with embez.
cling funds belonging to Barnard Il Co.
and collected from this (Lauderdale)
county, amounting to s6O3.7O, was ar
raigned in the circuit court here this
afternoon.
The members of the firm of Barnard
4 Co., were present. George D. Bar
nard was put on the stand, and his
statement lasted until late in the even
ing. The defense claims that Barnard
& Co., owe Sykes more money than the
amount alleged to have been misapro-
priated by him. Barnard said that
Sykes was nothing more than their ira
yelling salesman and representative in
Mississippi on a stipulated salary and
had no authority to apply any Of the
proceeds of the sale of warrants to his
own use for any purpose whatever. The
defense introduced aletter purporting to
have been written by Barnard & Co. to
Sykes, which Barnard acknowledged
was written by his house, authorizing
Sykes to spend money to secure legisla-
tion in the State favorable to the inter-
ests OF the stationers. The defense
claimed that these expenses accounted
for the shortage Of Sykes.
Sykes was acquitted.

LIST or MIssIosIPPl CONFeDFRArEa
BURIED At HBANKLIx, TENN.

Editors Grenada Sentiael:-The
bodies Of the brave Confederate soldiers
who fell 1t the battle Of Franklin,
Tenn, were originally buried where
they fell, In the hasty manner required
by the circumstances Of the time.
Soon after the war closed they were
removed to another place on another
part Of the battlefield, where the
graves could be systematically arrang-
ed and better marked, for which pur-
pose the noble hearted Col. John
McGavock donated the necessary
ground near his residence, one mile
south Of the public square at Franklin.
Great care was taken to mark by name
and command only such as were posi-
lively known. But the greater part
of these head-boards have fallen down
by process Of decay. For the preserva-
tion and perpetuation Of these graves
our Bivouac (of which am a member)
resolved to place granite head and foot
stones to each grave, with the name,
company and regiment of each. We
would considerit an honor to do the
whole work, but at the same time We
believed that the people OF the differ
ent States would be glad to have this
opportunity to thus honor the memory
of the brave dead which is such an
honor to them. The different States
have responded literally to our appeal,
and the sum has been raised, the con-
tract for cutting and lettering the
stones awarded to a reliable firm, and
soon our cemetary will present u beau
tiful little city Of the dead. In this
cemetary, the remains of fourteen hun
dred and eighty four Confederates
were Inferred.
The complete list Of the dead from
the respective States are as follows:
Alabama l29, Arkansas lO4, Florida 4,
Georgia SO, Kentuckys, Louisiana Is,
Mississippi 424, Missouri 100, North
Carolina 2, South Carolina 50, Tennes-
see 23O, Texas SO, unknown 235.
The heavy loss of Mississipplans is
thus accounted for: Genls. Walthall
and Loring charged herocially the in
trenched line protected by an Usage
orange abatis. In Walthall's front
Easements celebrated brigade was
posted, armed with improved repeat
ing rifles. That command stood firm
and concentrated its terrific fire on
Walthall's advancing division. In
truth the fire of this line was con-
tinuing living fringe of flame, because of
the extraordinary rapidity with which
their improved arms facilitated its de-
livery, which wrought fearful and de-
vastating effect on the advancing force.
Walthall had two horses killed under
him, but was furnished remounts by
the casualties in his staff, which en-
abled him to retire his command in
good order, an extraordinary achiev-
ment, considering the fact that in the
fearful conflict between him and Case
ment, never before in the history Of
war did command Of the approximate
strength OF Easement in as short a pe-
riod Of time kill and wound as many
men. Walthsll .sullenly retired,
leaving many gallant officers and men
in front Of the works, among whom was
the heroic Col. Dyer, Third Mississip.

JUDGE CHAS. Il. STUART holds
that, under the Arkansas stat
utes, infamy attachss to all who
have been convicted Of the crime
of introducing, that is all who
have either plead guilty to or
been convicted of the crime of
introducing liquor into the terri
tory, and that this disqualiiies
them from giving testimony in
either civil or criminal cases. He
has excused a number of wit
nesses on this ground. At first
this railing attracted little atten-
ton. but upon careful exami-
nation il is found that it includes
a very large number Of people.
All druggists who have plead
guilty to selling bitters, or any
form of liquors, are included.
Those persons are excluded from
court, not being able to bring a
suit for debt or to testify against
any one who does them bodily
harm. If the court will stick TO
this ruling it will do moro TO stop
the introduction oi liquor then
anything that has yet been done.
1t is pretty severe on those whom
it strikes. - South McAlester
