Kinston, NJ g., Feb. 10 (Special) -
The scene presented to one who vis-
tied Kinston last summer after the
fires was q most desolate sight. On
both sides of Main street, where once
stood the business houses, was to be
seen a mass of charred timber, bI'icil
and mortar, while back of Main street
quite a number of handsome residences
were destroyed.
About eight months ago the work of
rebuilding began, and to-day new
picture is presented to the visitor to
this live, pushing little city. Already
on the right hand side as you come
from the depot, the entire burnt dis
trict is rebuilt with a solid row of brick
business houses, while on the left hand
side only a few lots are still vacant,
which / understand will be built up this
spring and summer All the buildings
on this side Of the street are also Of
brick. The new Hotel Tull is still un-

HEIR TO MILLIONS.
Antonio segni Says "A Spanish Grant
in Florida Belongs to Him.
From the New York Herald.


From the New York Herald.
Antonio Segui, a young married man, of
Maspeth, L. l.. now a clerk in drug store,
claims to be heir to a valuable tract of land
in Florida, which embraces some three
thousand acres, near st. Augustine. which
is said to be valued at more than 5000. 900.
1t Is known as the "Segui grant" Por-
tons of it are in possession of persons who
claim to be heirs to the original grantee
from the Spanish crown, but their rights
are denied by the Long Island claimant,
who has employed counsel and is having
the old Spanish records searched to es-
tablsh the fact of his heirship. He thinks
he has reason to believe he will soon be
able to do this.
The facts, not unmixed with mystery and
romance, so far as they have been ascer-
tanned, show that about ITO Antonio Seq
nj was born at Maton, In Minorca, one OF
the Balearic Islands. 10 miles off the east
coast OF Spain. He was trained and educat-
ed in the Roman Catholic faith and at the
age Of twenty years was ordained priest
of that church.
The young priest, full of the enthusiasm
OF youth and inbued with the active mis-
sionary spirit of the times looked TO the
new world as an inviting field for Christian
work, and at his request~was sent to
Florida
Here he at once plunged into the wilder
ness, making his home among the Indians,
learning their language and planting the
banner OF his church among them. Spurr-
ed by deep religious zeal, his efforts bore
fruit satisfactory to himself and to the
church at home.

is to be put on at an early day by one OF

ports which now seek an exit elsewhere.
Savannah Is the largest naval stores
port in the world and the second largest
cotton port. With the favorable ocean
freight rates which her new line Of trans
Atlantic steamers win give she will become
one or the greatest grain ports also The
railroads leading TO Savannah reach a
great cotton and timber territory. With
their connections they penetrate the vast
grain fields Of the west and the products
OF these would now be going TO Savannah
for export In much larger quantities but
for the fact there are now neither suffi-
Client shipping facilities nor favorable
ocean rates to be found there. These
