DISASTROUS FIRE.
The Handsome Residence Of Ed Car

michael Burned to the Ground.
Ocala was visited by a disas-
trous fire yesterday morning. It
was discovered soon after mid
night at the large residence of
Ed Carmichael at the north end
of Main street near the f. G. &
p. depot. The alarm was sent in
and the department responded
promptly, but by the time they ar
rived on the scene, the flames
had gained considerable headway.
The fire started somewhere near
the roof and brisk wind made it
very difficult to control. The
fire boys worked with their usual
heroism and succeeded in prevent
ing the flames from spreading to
any of the adjoining buildings.
Part of the furniture was carried
out of the first story of the Car
michael building and sustained
very little injury.
The origin of the fire is a mys-
terry. The general opinion pre-
walls, however, that the house
was robbed and the thieves set
fire to it to cover up their tracks.
Mr.. Carmichael and family were
in Fernandina at the time and no
one was in the house. The loss
is placed at about $1,000 on which
there is an insurance of $4,000 on
building and $1,000 on furniture.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased por-
tions of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an int]amed
condition of the mucous lining of
the eustachian tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound Of imperfect
hearing and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
inf1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dol
lars for any case of deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Fire Extinguisher Contest.

The patent fire extinguisher
contest in front of the Ocala
House on Saturday night drew
quite a large crowd. The two
machines represented were the
United States fire extinguisher
by j. r. Mathews, of this
city, and the Stempel by
j. E. Lambeth, of Gaines
vile.
Two small frame buildings were
erected on the street between the
court house and the Ocala House
on which to test the merits Of the
two machines. Major Campbell
was chosen to give the signal and
Messrs. A. O. Liddon and Geo.
Robinson judges. The buildings
were saturated with oil and after
clearing the crowd away the sig
nal was given and j. R. Mathews
with his United States machine
began operations. In just AZ Sec
onds he entinguished the last
spark.
The other building was then
lighted and Mr.. Lambeth with a
Stempel machine put it out in %
seconds. The latter machine had
a big advantage in having
an experienced man to manage
the nozzle. The work is practi-
cally new to Mr.. Mathews and
while he did the work fast
enough for all practical purposes
he did not have near the speed
that constant practice will give
him. The test was very interest
ing to the spectators and the
wonderful work of both machines
was highly complimented.

Stempel Fire Extinguisher Co.,
st. Louis, Mo-:
Gentlemen-In reply to your
inquiry will say that it affords
me great pleasure to endorse in
the strongest terms the good
qualities of your extinguisher.
Our fire chief has not used one
drop of water from August 2Sth
to May 18th although we have
had more than twenty-five fires,
all of which were put out with
your machine, which has been in
use in our department. for more
than two years.
We never use the Babcock
since we have yours.
For durability, simplicity of
construction and operation it
stands at the head.
1t does not need an expert, as a
boy twelve years of age can han
die it successfully.
I have seen your tests in the
city and must admit that it would
be hard to conceive of a more
successful fire lighter than you
have given to the public, and /
am only too glad to give yourself
and your machine the credit due
you as public benefactors.
Yours very truly,
M. e. GILLETT, Mayor.

Fully as Bad ms Stated.

Concerning the Perdue- Williams
Incident OF which the CRATIC OF last
week gave an account, the Press
Eagle OF today published an inter
view with Mr.. John Perdue and the
father OF Mr.. Perdue's bonded slave.
The Press-Eaelc heads the article
Not SO Bad as Stated,
1t seems to us that the Press
Eagles editor has no grounds to
make even this statement. For the
facts were as published in the
GRAPHIC, and can be substantiated
by the atlidavils OF fully fifty people,
who saw the manner in which the
boy was treated.
No parent or Guardian has the
right to chain mp child and beat
and cuff him about like was a brute,
and that was the manner in which
the negro boy, Adam Williams, was
treated by Mr.. John Perdue. Trace
lchains were locked about the boy S
ankles and he was beat with II
board while in chains Mr.. John
Pcrdue said that he assumed full re-
sponsiblity Tor all he did and would
do the same again under similar cir
cumstaEces: that his father had no
connection with the affair in any
way.
The connection with the affair
which the GRAPHIC charges Mr. Alex
Perdue, is that he was present at
the time the boy was IN chains and
was being beat with a board, 10 the
hands OF Mr.. John Perdue, Mr. Alex
Perdues son that he, ALEX Perdue)
by not interfering, sanctioned his
son S actions The outrage was
committed in Mr.. Alex Perdaes
store in the presence OF many Wit
nesses, one Of whom was the GRAPHIC
reporter.
The reporter knows no difference
between the Perdues and other men
who commit acts that do violence to
humanity or morality, and the arti-
Gle would have appeared in the
GRAPHTc had some other citizen let
his temper run away with his iudg-
ment TO such an extent as abuse
helpless human being, or even a
dumb brute
Doubtless, the boy, Adam vii
liams, is a hard cnse. and, perhaps,
Worthless. but that would not
even justify his father in claiming
and beating him. Even the law
limits the punishment children shall
receive at the hands Of parents and
guardians.
