The suit for $l0, 600 damage against Mayor l.. E. Goldsmith brought by k. F.

BURNED AT LAST.
AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS THE 0REsI- DENCE OF MIR. FRANK A. STAN LEY WAS BURNED THIS
 MORNING.
The Fire Was Undoubtedly. the Work ot An Ineendary. .--The House
 Fired in Two Places.

Frank A. Stanley, the well known plumber, is at last without a home, and will probably have hard legal fight before he can collect the in- surance on his residence and its con tents. For two mornings in success sion the house was set on fire, and was only put out by timely discovery of the flames by neighbors and the excellent work done by the Pine Bluff fire department. After the second attempt 10 burn the building, which was clearely the work of an incendeary, the local agents of the insurance companies who carried insurance to the amount of $2, 800 on the residence and furniture, notified Mr. Stanley that they would no longer carry the risk, and asked for a surrender of the policy. This was three days ago, and as the reporter understands the matter, Mr. Stanley was entitled to notice of five days before his insurance policy could be declared void. This morning at 2:30 o'clock the house was found to be in flames in twoplaces and the fire had gained such headway before the alarm was given that the fire department was, this time, unable to save the structure, and it was burned to the ground.
 The building was one of the pret- tiest little cottages on Cherry street, and it was elegantly furnished. Who the fiend is that burned it is q mystery. Mr. Stanley says that he has not an enemy in the world, so far as ne knowns, yet his house, time after time,. wsa fired, until it is at last burned. No matter who the guilty person is he should be ap- prehended and severly punished, and to this end the insurance companies, assisted by 1.-the officers, will spend a great deal of money in endavOring to discover the criminal.
