PENSACOLA TIMES SUED,
State Senator Chipley Places Damages
to His Character at SIS, 900

PENS AcoLA. Fla, ApRn12 State
Senator w D. Chiple brought
suit against the Daily Y, of this
place, for defamation of character,
placing the damage at $25, 600.
Chipley is prominent IN Florida poll
tics and belongs to a faction of the
Democracy to which the Times is OPP
posed. The Times has repeatedly &C.
cused the Chipley faction of frauds at
the polls, and has stated that the frauds
we're insGigated by Chipley.
During the last Legislature a charter
bill, relating to Pensacola, wasc changed
in some mysterious way after it had
passed the House aud Senate, and be.
fore it reached the G. Jvernor. The bill
was fathered by Chipley, ard the
changes q such as benefited his
faction.
The Times has attacked Chipley in
regard to the bill and intimated that
he knew something about them. It is
suppose d that these attacks have goaded
Chipley into bringing the libel suit.
Chipley is Vice-President of the Pensa-
cola and Atlanta Railroad, which is g
division of the Louisville and Nashville.
Four years ago he tried to defeat Cali
for the United States Senate, but failed.
1t is said that he will be a candidate to
succeed Call next year..

At the hotel he learned that the man
who had sent for him was George San

neighborhood ten years ago. Price
recognized the constable at once, and,
bursting into tears at once, said:

"Well, WE'LL" was ali the constable

added: why, I don't want you, San"
Yes, you do. I'm under indict-

WASHINGTON, Pa, August Is The
Rev. John Hood, a prominent United
Presby terian minister of Boston, who,
fifteen years ago., was in charge of the
B1rgettetOwn United Presbyterian con
gregatiOn was on Saturday made a vic
tim Of mistaken identity and arrested
and handcufed while on q Pan Handle
train between Midway and Burgetts'
town, by Constable Samuel William
son, of Nike township.
The constable boarded the early
morning train for BurgettstOWn and
Mid wav, armed with a warrant for n
A M Hood, who is wanted ON a charge
preferred by a girl Of that town. On
the train he net an acquaintance, who
told him that there was q man on the
train of the name of Hood, and pointed
out the Rev. John Hood. Williamson
approached the clergyman ard fastened
a pair of handouts on him. Startled
at such proceedings, Mr.. Hood de.
manded an explanation, but the cor
stable shook his head and told him ex-
plantations would be in order when he
was taken back to Midway.
When the train reached Burgetts-
JO"u w 1LjldII5Ou uuBbLSu HIS pE15OISE
into a waiting room, and there for the
frsttime told him what he had arrested
him for. The clergyman tod him who
he was, what he did, and where he
came from, but to no avail. William
son eaid he would have to go back to
Midway and prove himself innocent OF
the charge.
By this time a large crowd had gath
cred about the station. among whom
were Samuel J. Ghist, john Rose, and
many other prominent citizens OF
Burgettstown, who were acquainted
| with Mr.. Hood. They explained TO
Constable Williamson that he had
made a g~rievous mistake; that they
knew Mr.. Hood; that he was a minis.
ter of the gospel, and a gentleman OF
the beet character. But the officer was
stubborn. Justice Teenan, a resident
IF Mid wav who was also in the crowd,
consolidated with the officer, who
finally comprehended that he had ar
rested the wrong man, and he was per-
mitted to go. He resumed his journey
eastward on the evening train.

In Philadelphia--Loss Estimated at
$500, ooo--Several Women Injured.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug, 10 "A fire that
threatened to DESTROY the block bounded
by Franklin and Eighth streets and
Callowhill and Buttonwood streets.
with Willow street, a small thorough
fare runTi ing east and west between it,
started s 80 o'clock this morning in the
folding paper box factory of Brown &
Bailey, No. 412 Franklin street. The
flames originated in the basement, pre-
sumably from spontaneous combustion,
and the hundred girl employees
rushed to the fire escape. The flames,
which we're then fercely shooting up
wards, drove the frightened employees
back into the upper portion of the
four story buildings, but a second at
tempt to reach the street was success
ful, and the police report that all
escaped in safety,
So rapidly did the fire burn, that in
less than half an hour after the flames
were discovered Brown & Bailey's
building was Quilted. Tue flames spread
to the adjoining five story brick build
ing occupied principally by ". J.
Buck, Sons & Co., dealers in gas and
electrical supplies, and fronting On
Eighth street, and an hour later this
structure was also Quilted. Portions
of the wall of both buildings fell, and
several fcemen were injured.
Rows of dwellings on CallowhiIl,
Franklin and Willow streets were de-
stroyed Or damaged.
The fire was practically exting1ished
about 1 o'clock. Neither the total nor
the individual losses could be definitely
learned this afternoon, but q conserva
tive estimate places the total dame &c
at $500, 900.
Louis Roth, aged 5 years, who lived
with his parents in the rear of 726 Viii
low street, is supposed to have teen
burned to death. When the fire spread
to the Roth residence the parents fed
with the boy, but the latter a back
into the dwelling and has not since
! been seen.

Tribute 10 u Mother.

Children, look in those eyes, listen to
that dear voice, notice the feeling of
even Il single touch bestowed upon you
by that hand . Make much of it while
yet you have that most precious Of all
good gifts, loving mother. Read the
unfathOmable love of those eyes the
kind anxiety of that tone and look,
however slight your pain. In after
life you may have friends; but never
will you have again the ineNpressible
love and gentleness lavished upon you
which none but a mother bestows.
Often do | sigh in the struggles with
the hard, uncaring world, for the
sweet, deep security felt when, of an
evening, nesting in her bosom, lis
tened to somequiet tale suitable to my
age, read i'm her untirlng voice. Never
can | forget her sweet glanceS cast
upon me when | appeared asleep; !;
never her kiss of peace at night.
Years have passed away $ nee we laid
her beside my father in the old church
yard yet still her voice whispers from

me, as | visit spots long since hallow-

inquiry should be not so much, cam

or pleasure that comes, we can make

their lot in life that is to say, we may

To love because the soul is filled
with love and because it will bless some
one who may have nothing to give in
return is to plant seed that cannot be
unfruitful. TO give asking nothing in
return is to enter into that universal
life wherein the whole becomes ones
own. To serve the righteous cause
when it is most unpopular is to have
the gratitude of mankind when, in the
fullness of time, the triumph comes.-
