Last Nights s Fire.

AT about ten o'clock last night
the residence of b. A. Mason on
Hargrove Heights was seen to be
on fire. The neighbors from ad-
jacent residences were quickly at
the scene but the fire had been
burning some time and had too
strong hold on the interior. BY
quick work a portion of the furnl-
ture from one room was saved.
The house which was one story
wooden structure was entirely de-
strOyed. Mr.. Mason estimates his
loss at from $1,000 to $11OO with
5000 insurance.
There was no one about the
building at the time, Mrs. Mason
being in Texas and Mr.. Mason had
left the house three hours previous.
He will rebuild on the same site at
once

SENSATIONAL ARREST.
Treasurer OF the Fort worth and Rio
Grcnde Railway Arrested at Fort
Worth for Embe zzIrment.

Jere Van Rensselaer,. late treas
urer of the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande railroad, was arrested YES
terday charged with embezzlement
of the cOmpany's funds. Com
plants against him were made out
by J. S. Jones charging him with
embezzlement of different sums
amounting in the aggregate to he
tween $4,000 and $1,000.
The first report of the amount
embezzled which made it much
larger seems to have been very
much exaggerated. Bond was
made i'll each one of the twelve
cases in the sum of $3.50.
R. l.. CarlOck and Tillman Smith
signed the bond as sureties in the
sum of $4,000.
Mr.. Van Rensselaer, when seen
today stated the trouble was all on
account of complications such as
were likely to arise in any cor
pOration and which could be set
tied without much difficulty Mali

ARDMORE'S ELECTION.
The City Elects Municipal Officers ON
whom viii Depend the Veal
or Woe of the People.

At sunset last evening the first
battle with ballots ever fought to
a finish in Ardmore was concluded
and the destiny of the city placed
in the hands of councillors, by the
grace of God and the voice of the
people.
Throughout the day and up to
the very minute of closing the
polls the street in front of the
booth was crowded with people, a
motley thrOng. depicted on their
conntenances one could plainly read
anxiety, fear, desperation even,
on others far away, serene but
slckly smile Courage was de-
plcted on some while the average
candidates self assurance was ST.
lehtly stealing away.
The polls closed, the work of
counting the vote was began and
here a herculean job lOomed up
before the judges and clerks who
had the destiny of men in their
hands. They went at their work
with will and as hour after hour
swept by many OF the 1149 votes,
the total number cast, remained to
he checked. Daylight dawned,
still the work went on and at
o'clock this morning when the vote
vas made public a very tired, worn
set of men felt they had done their
duty to their fellow citizens. The
judges and clerks who so faithfully
conducted the election are J. c.
Thompson. G. D. Carter, Tom
Cheney, c. P. Bruce and J. A.

PIGEONS As MESSENGERS.
Advantages of Their Use For the Rapid
Concentration of Naval Forces.

.avsptages of Their Use For the Rapid
Concentration of Naval Forces.
The twenty third volume of pro-
ooedipps of the United States Naval
institute has among its contents sew
aral ably written papers on subjects
interesting to the navy. Lieutenant
W. Eberle contributes paper on
nHoming Pigeons as Messengers of
the Fleet, g" in which he refers to the
advantages and practical workings
Of a messenger pigeon service and
ro;nts out conditions under which it
NAV be used with advantage to the
Aeet In his paper Lieutenant Eberle
says:
From It's geographical surround
mos Kew West will become our most
important pigeon station on the At
lantic. and Port TOwnshend, which
controls the strait of Fuca and en-
france to Puget sound, will be the
most important on the Pacific Port
Townshend station can control
the entire entrance to the west
ern possessions of Great Britain,
and this would prove of great value
in the event of hostilities with that
country
1.-The rapid concentration of naval
forces at the point of attack or the
movement of forces to intercept the
enemy is only made possible when
we have a system by which we can
communicate rapidly with the shore
station from long distances at sea.
and the messenger pigeon service is
the only system by which we can
obtain such communication. This
service might be called, very appro-
priately, sea telegraph system.
and although its messages cannot be
dispatched with the speed and abso
lutte certainty of the telegraph yet
the system has the advantage of
forwarding its messages from any
uosition within definite limits, and
therefore it is not necessary to seek
the telegraph station in order to
send a message.
in the event of hostilities many
more messages than those given in
the above illustrations would be
sent in order to insure the receipt of
important information, and if only
one of the many little messengers
should arrive i'll time to enable our
feet to maneuver SO as to engage
the enemy before he could infiict
appalling destruction of life and
property upon some one Of our sea
ports then this service would prove
itself most valuable to the govern
ment and well worth the small ans
nual sum required to maintain its
efficiency.
. 1t requires but one practical IL
lustratiOn to strike home and to
open our eyes to the merits of this
service. Let a single human life be
saved from shipwreck in a time Of
peace or let one maneuver of the en-
envy feet be frustrated in the
midst of war by the timely arrival
of one of these swift winged, trusty
little carriers with its urgent mes
sage, and all the country will ap-
plaud the result and will realize the
value of messenger pigeon service
upon the seas Baltimore Sun.

Americans Frozen to Death.
Forty-Eight Perish and Sixty
Seriously Frostbltten.

st. Johns, N. F., March 26 The
steamer Greenland, returning from
the seal fishery, put into Bay de Verde
tonight and reported that on Wednes-
day Lass, when among the ice foes,
while her crew were travelling about
the foes in search of seals, terrible
storm arose, accompanied by blind
ing snow, which difted rapidly, and
severe frost The members Of the
crew who were on the ice could not
regain the vessel and were exposed
to the weather throughout the night
and all of the next day Forty-eight
men perished and between so and go
were so badly frostbitten that the am
putatior of one or more of their limbs
will have to be undergone by all of
them Yesterday the Greenland sue
ceeded in recovering the bodies of
25 of the victims, but the remaining
% were buried beneath the snow
drifts
From the circumstances of the dis.
aster it is feared that other steamers
have suffered in a similar manner.
The city is in a terrible state of ex.
element The disaster is the worst
recorded in the history of the seal
ing industry. Most of the victims
were married
