for a percentage of the damages.
Another story is told. ILLUSTRATING Ine
avidity with which the Illinois Central Is

Mr. Storrs.
II don't know. sir" answered the old
fellow.
"Have you any idea who wrote itY'
asked Mr.. Storrs.
''No. sir" answered the note-bearer.
"WelI. do you knew anything about the
note at all?" asked Mr. Storrs.
Nothing at all, sir" answered the Ola
man. -.

A two-story frame building at the cor

about 2:30 o'clock this morning.
The rear portion OF the building, which

The negroes saved all their effects, but
the building was total loss, being nearly
entirely destroyed when the department
finally reached the scene.
The flames were prevented from spread

were entirely extinguished.

partly true, only eight regiments being
affected by an order from the War De-
partment, as follows

Pennsylvania, and First Illinois, to be
commanded by Brigadier-General Simon
Snyder.
Second New York, Sixty-ninth New

OF Columbia, under the command of Bril-
gadier- General Lewis II. Carpenter.
These regiments are ordered to pro-
coed at once to Tampa, and the work or
preparation began tonight. 1t is under
stood that four OF the regiments will leave
tomorrow and the other four Wednes-
day. The regiments ordered out are re-
garded as the best equipped and most
thoroughly prepared in the camp. 1his
order is regarded by the officers and men
as an indication that speedy forward
movement is to be made on Cuba and
Porto Rico.
With the regiments that arrived to-day
