BURNED A TOWN. BUT THE INGENDIARIEs ARE NOW
 IN JAIL
Fine Gang of Negro Burglars and Inoen- diaries Who Set Fire to the Town of Portland Are In the
 Hands of the Law

Our readers will remember that during last November the town of Portland, Ark, was destroyed by fire, at which time every store in the town, with one excep- ton, was burned and one life lost Prior to the great fire the gin house of Bain Bros. had been destroyed by incendiaries and every store in the town had been burglarized one or more times.
 After the fire the citizens of Port land made diligent efforts to ferret out and capture the culprits, and warded. From Mr. k. A. Pugh, of the firm of Pugh Bros Co, of that place, who is now iii the ecity. we learn that seven negroes have been ar
 rested, charged with the crime, and i that one of them has made a com l plete confession duplicating all the 1 others under arrest. The last one of 1 the seven was arrested a few days
 ago and on last Monday the fire fiends waived preliminary examin
 ation and are now confined in the
 Ashley county jail at Hamburg. Mir
 Pugh informed us that the fact has
 developed that the seven negroes had entered into an oath-bound organi. zation for the purpose of arson and
 burglary, and that prior to theiI
 arrest they had systematically ear. ried on their work.
 I While it is not known if all tho guilty parties have been captured, ii I is believed that these arrests vii
 effectually stop all burglaries ant
 incendfaries at Portland for som,
 time to come.
