The contest over the mayoralty Is be-

FIRE FROM A FOUL CHIMNEY.
A Cruel Fun-Maker Fined and Should BE
Made to Pay Damages.

ASHLAND, VA, February 12-Spe-
cial. )-This morning about $50 the resi-
dence of DR.. III. c. Scott was discovered
by Mr.. Charles Iaurens to be on fire.
and he. with the assistance or others,
subdued the flames, and cut short what
might have been serious confiagration-
The fire originated from foul chimney
Damage amounted to s25; fully insured.
In order to have some fun and give exer-
else To two half-breed bloodhounds one OF
the citizens OF this place this morning set
the dogs on n cow, and started her OF
at a rapid rate through the main street
of this place. The frenZied and badly
torn animal ran into the eating-saloon or
Ellis Holiday, breaking front windows
and doing other damage The wild run
was continued for quite a while, and
when the poor animal was stopped II had
been badly bitten and lacerated about the
head and neck. The would-be fun-maker
was arrested and fined so by Acting
Mayor Lee for cruelty to animals and
$3.50 for creating a disturbance on the
streets. A society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals will no doubt be started
here.
DR.. John l.. Buchanan, who was re-
Gently elected president Of the Arkansas

ell the Committee on Fire Protection will

Captain Billy and the Po.trastership.

Fat jovial. big-hearted Captain Billy
Cuiilngworth and his hosts of friends
are elated over his reappointment to the
position Of postmaster OF Richmond.
When he first went into this Office II
had not been put under civil-service
rules. and the postmaster's patronage
amounted to seventy or eighty appoint
ments including carriers. But now Mr..
Cullingworths direct patronage will be
very small. notwithstanding the fact that
the clerical and carrier force together
numbers over 100. for all the carriers
and many Of the other employees come
under the civil-service regulations.
Mr.. Cullingworth will have the absolute
appolntment OF the assistant postmaster,
the chief Of the money-order department.
and four or I'VE others. The other APP
pointments he can only select from such
OF the applicants as the Civil-Service
Board submits TO him. He. however. has
already been deluged with applications
under him.
Among the candidates for the position
OF assistant postmaster are Messrs. l..
u. Crenshaw. Peachy Harrison. and J..
Booten Hill.
