Lille Rock, Ark, July 1s.-Mal-
vern, once thriving place of 5000
inhabitants, is now in ruins. The
torch was applied, supposedly by
four tramps, two of whom are no
groes 1t was midnight when the
cry OF fire was heard. At that time
it appeared to those who hal tum-
bled cut Of their beds that the whole
town was ablaze. But the worst
was yet TO come. The fire bells
rang and in a few minutes every IN,
habltat OF the place was il the
street. A good wind was blowing
aad it was not long before the build
ings o. each side of the ones which
were fred were seething mass of
flames. Great sparks darted through
the air com municating the flames to
houses two and three blocks away.
One by one the substantial stores
and residences were eaten up,
and when the fire had passed to the
woods, at the edge Of town, there
was but one block of houses stand
ing. Through the woods the flames
fed with fierce rapidity, licking up
giant trees as though they were
matches. The total loss is variously
estimated at from 5000, 900 to $400,
O00, only small portion of which is
covered by insurance. The burned
buildings include the railroad depot,
two hotels, the bank and all the
principal business houses of the
place The FIRE is without doubt
the result of plot to destroy the
town. The blaze broke out in three
different places. aud as there was 10
