A Close Call.

The block of buildings on East Third avenue, between State and Alabama Streets, had q narrow es- cape from destruction by fire this morning at 9 o'clock. It seems that in the Brewster block which is now occupied by Mir. Huggins as barber shop, there is no brick flue. A stove pipe being run through the ceiling and used as one. This morning q fire was built in the stove in the shop and the pipe got hot and set the pine plank in the ceiling on fire " liieh, had if net at once been dis covered, would have soon laid the entire block of buildings in ashes. Such carclessness in building can not be 100 severely condemned.
 The fire department quickly re- sponded to to the call and the dam- age was but slight. Mr. Brewster will at once see that proper lflue is erected and thus further danger in that building, will be avoided.

THE LEGISLATURE. GIBSON WITT ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE AND J. G. COL QulTT SPEAKER OF THE
 HOUSE. Both Branches of the Legislature Or ganized and a Number Of Inn
 portant Bills Introduced.
LITTLE ROCK. Jan. 16, 1895.


 Dear Well. the Legisla ture is organized and in a few days both Houses will be down to busi- ness. The Senate was organized and elected a full corps of officers, and by tomorrow all of the subordinate positions in the House will be filled.
 The Senate made rapid progress in it's organization by holding q caucus for the nomination of all the officers. The first Senate caucus met in secret session last Monday morning at 10 o'clock, at which time Mr. Gibson Witt, of Montgomery county, was nominated on the twenty-sixth bal lot for President. The other candi- dates were: Senators T. A. Petit grew, of Franklin; ". $. Ainis, of Cleveland, and J. w Adams, of lief ferson. The first ballot resulted as follows: Witt. 12; PettiGrew, z; Adams, [; Amis, 6. On the second ballot Witt received Il votes, Petit grew. $; Adams, s; Amis, [ Ballot ing continued with but slightchangeS in the vote until the 24th ballot was reached, when Senator Amis' name was withdrawn, and after the 25th ballot Senator Adams also withdrew. This narrowed the contest down to Senators Witt and Pettigrew, and the 26th ballot resulted: Witt, 2l; Pettigrew, II. Senator Witt having received more than r, the required number. was declared the nominee of the caucus for President.
 The surprise of the Senate caucus was the defeat of John W. Howell for reelection as chief clerk by Prof. c. T. Gordon, of Camden. Mr. Howell was the old clerk, and was thought to have a walk cover.
 The House did not hold a caucus, but has about concluded its organi- zation by the election of Hon. l. C. Colquitt, of Columbia county, Speak CT. and George Naylor, of Pulaski, Iehief clerk As we have before re- marked the House will complete the election of officers for all subordinate positions tomorrow.
 A number of bills were introlucsd d in the Senate today, among the most important of which was bill for the consolidation of elections offered by Senator Weaver. of Sebastian, and a b;lI fCr +la r.nnuln ;f.,,,,f ., .. ,1 conspiracies against trade by Scnd- tor Adams, of Jefferson. Senator Adams bill prohibits all kinds of pooling, trusts or conspiracies to control the price of products or com modities, and is directed especially against the cotton seed oil trust in this State. which has reduced the price of cotton seed from SIS to SC per ton. This bill is modelled after the famous Texas antitrust law. st violation of which is made criminal offense, punishable by a fine and i'm prisonmenf.
 Gov. Clark will be inaugurated to- morrow, and his inaugural address is looked forward to with no small degree of interest. It is understood that the message will be strong argument for d new constitutional convention.
 By the way, that reminds us that it is currently rumorea that Capt. 5. '. Hilzheim, of Jefferson, is carry |. is.s; g 2 2 D. a.ea~ constitutional convention
