w. l.. Csbell, who has just returned
from Honduras, states that A. r.
Ward, the Memphis forger, is a
free man, all reports to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The i'm
preston prevails, even at the state
department in Washington, that
Ward is under arrest in Tegucigal-
pa, the capital of Honduras, and on
the strength OF this belief the state
department has been negotiating
with the Honduras government
for Wards eXtradition.
Gen. Cabell says that Ward
showed up in Honduras with val
liable concessions, which were made
with the understanding that he
was to invest 100000 in raising
and manufacturing cotton, and
that it is not at all likely that the
Honduras government will part
with his presence.

the fire suddenly started, probably
by friction, and spread with great
rapidity. All employees except the
above escaped. The two men, as
sisted by the girl, secured the fire
hose and attempted to put out the
fire. Before they were aware Of
their danger the flames sprung up
all around them and they were un-
able to escape. Their bodies have
been recovered. The plant was
valued at 100000; insured for
$4,000. The match company is a

poration only last week.
