A LIVELY BLAZE,
Fire mt the Combination Ladder Com
pany's Works This Morning.


pany's Works This Morning.
Fire broke out in the store house owned
and occupied by theeCombination Ladder
Company on Fountain street this morn
ing and before the flames could be ex-
tinguished the contents and build
ing were damaged to the extent of
$500. Shortly after 10 o'clock George
Binder, a painter employed
by the company, noticed signs of smoke.
He rushed into the lower part of the
storehouse and was nearly suffocated by
the dense clouds of smoke that
poured from the structure. He no.
titled c. n. Richardson, the proprietor,
and an effort was made by the two men TO
extnguish the flames with hand grenades.
However, the fire had gotten too much
Roadway, and some one seeing the smoke
rang in an alarm from box "a, at the cor
near of Fountain and Dean streets.
The building was stored with manufac-
tured goods and was considerably dam
aged with the stock. The loss will prob
ably exceed $500 and Is partially covered
with insurance through the agency of
George III. Bunce.
The fire starred in n barn adjacent to the
storehouse, and its origin Is mystery.

MASKED BURGLARS
Put Handouts on Mrs. Sanford and
Then Rifle the House.

Masked burglars invaded the house
occupied by Walter III. Sanford
at 100l Westminster street Satur-
day night. Mrs. Sanford was alone
at the time and was awakened by light
in the room. She discovered man
sitting on the bed holding a re-
volver which was pointed at her.
A pair of handouts were snapped on her
wrists, but the bracelets were too
large, and the masked man stood
guard over her while his
companion ransacked the bureau. The
burglars were after diamonds
and money and did not take a
considerable quantity OF jewelry
lying on the bureau. After q stay OF
aboyt two hours the burglars left, and
Mrs. Sanford aroused the neighbors.

ANOTHER YACHT?
George GouIdvisited the Her.
reshoffs at Bristol Today.

BRISTOL, May Mr.. George Gould ar
rived on the morning train and went at
once To the office OF the Herreshoff Manu-
featuring Company What transpired
there can best be inferred from the fact
that when the firm was asked IL Mr..
Gould had left an order for boat, or
IL IL related to the Vigilant
the reply was made as follows:
"Further than the fact that Mr.. Gould
arrived I'm the morning and left on the
noon train we have no information to
give out"
"But did he leave any order?"
"You have all the information we can
give"
would one be very far from the truth
If II was intimated that such an order has
been placsd?"
81 shouldn't want TO intimate anything
wasn't sure of !" was the reply
NEWS readers can draw on their imag-
ination for the rest. A busy man like
George Gould certainly isn't spending his
time in simply looking around the Her
reshoff's Office for fun.

WORK OVER ON THE COVE.

While there are scores of men at work
on the Cove land those who wander over
the railroad tracks and stand upon the
embankment to look across the big
stretch of land can hardly believe that
anything is being done. The men are
there, however. scattered in groups all
over the lands, and they are rushing the
work through as rapidly as possible. Every
gang of men, from the stone cutters and
masons to those who run the pile
drivers, are at steady jump from morning
until night and those who frequently
visit the plain that was once the cove can
easily see the result of their labors.

GEORGE GOULD HERE.

The New York millionaire. George
Gould, was in town for an hour to-
day, and devoted thirty minutes of it to
an interview with NEWS re-
porter, in which he talked very
pleasantly about yachting, care
fully avoiding to say anything
definite however, although he admitted
that he had just left the Herreshoff Works
and that the object of his trip to
Bristol had been to talk about something
new in racing craft, and the result of the
talk will probably be yacht that will
beat the Vigilant.

MILLS ON SIL TER.

Senator Roger Q Mills, the great tariff reformer and friend to the people, is down in Texas talking Democracy to his constituents. Roger Q. is one of the Democratic Senators who has stood up for the administration all the time, and he is not ashamed to let the world know it. It will also be remembered that Roger Q. voted for the repeal of the Sherman law, and he is ready to de fend that vote at any time. In dis cussing the currency question MT. Mills said
 "You hear speakers denounce the great crime of the American Con- gress in demonetizing silver in 1873 It was great crime when Germany undertook, with the thousand mil lions of gold she had extorted from France, to demonetiZe silver, to buy up all the silver money and force it out of circulation, but Germany was forced by public opinion to retraee her steps and to abandon her efforts to take silver out of circulation. There has been no other attempt to demonetize silver
 The question with us is whether or not it is wise to open our hints to free and unlimited coinage Let the people hear both sides and then determine. Since the establishment of this Government we have coined g. 410, 952, ,273. Does this look like demonstration? This is $10, 000, 900 more than the mines produced. You may ask how this could be. Simply because Sl0, 1000, 000 of old coin have been recoined. From 25 to 50 per cent. of the silver mined goes into the arts and factories. There is ab- solutely no silver in this country outside of the United States Treas ury that is not either in coin or in manufactured articles, and the $I50, GOO, ,00G of silver bullion in the Treas ury is represented by its equivalent in currency.
 In the first place, there is not, as I said, any silver to come into crcu- lation; in the second place, it would not stay if it came, and in the third place, you couldn't get Q dollar un. less you worked for it. Democrat, cannot steal. Daughter and ap- plause).
 Jones and Stewart and the other mine owners want the hints thrown open free to their product, but tell me, my Houston county constitu- Is, how are you to get one of these dollars out of Jones pocket? Therc is only one way to get dollar hon. estly, and that is to work for it.

1'HE PLOT REVEALED.
Lynching of T ennessee Negroes
 at Last Unearthed.
sHBRIFFs SON GIVES IT AWAY.

He Tells fac Grand Jury the Whole
 Plan After Iteiag Threatened to Be
 sont to Jau-Hls Story duplicates
 Those Already Arrssted--He Goes to
 JaR In Default of Bal.
 MEMPHIS. Sept. 1.-The whole plot of the lynching of SIX alleged negro in- cen3iaries near Wilmington, Tenn, on the night of Aug. 31 has been laid bare, and before many hours elapse every man implicated in the conspiracy will be in tail.
 Robert McCarver, son of J. A. Me- Carver, sheriff of Shelby county, is the man who exposed the conspirators. He was called before the grand jury Satur- day and told the whole story. Young McCarver at first refused to testify, be- ing afraid of the lynchers, but when given the alternative of going to jail for contempt of court or revealing the plot he chose the latter. Young McCarver in his testimony before the grand jury said that he was invited to participate in the massacre of the negroes by H. N Smith, one of the men now in the county jail under indictment for mur- der in the first degree for conplicity in the lynching. Smith gave McGarver the names of the men who would compose the mob, and told how the negroes would be arrested by Detective W. s. Richardson, placed in a wagon and then driven to Big creek swamp, where the mob would be in waiting.
 When the invitation to assist in the assassination was teudered to young Me- Carver it was represented that his father knew all about it and that Judge Cooper of the criminal court was not in the dark.
 These representations were untrue and were made by Smith with the in- tention, if possible, of mixing Sheriff McCarver up in the affair through his son so that his hands would be tied if an investigation should be instituted by the authorities.
 Young McCarver declined to join the mob, but the lynching came off on schedule time. MeCarver disclosed the detailed of the plot to Joseph Thiers, Chris Huffman and William Cox, and 1t was from Thiers and Huffman that the grand jury obtained its 6rstinformation about the plot
 Cox denied all knowledge of the affair and was indicted for perjury. Criminal Jndge Cooper after learning of McCar- ver's confession ordered him placed un= der $1o,00o bond to insure his presence at the trial, but MeCaryer being unable to furnish bail WIS sent To jail.
