strange story. He alleges that f. Marion
Wllett, a magistrate, and Samuel VIII
lett paid him 10 cents and gave him the
matches to start the fires. He also says
that their reason for telling him this
was that the houses adioined land Of the
Wlletts, and that they objected 10 the
negro tenants who sometimes occupy
them. The Willetts We're arrested to-
day, and will have a hearing before
magistrate tomorrow. but Il is not gem
orally believed that they instigated the
burning, as they are both respected resi-
dents of their section, and men Of con-
siderable property.
