Mr. T Hunters Residence Burn

Mr. T Hunters Residence Burn
cd.
About l o'clock last Saturday
the residence of Mr. IT Hunter
was discovered afire on the roof
by darkey plowing in a field
near by and the alarm given.
People rushed there from every
direction but the fire had gained
too much headway to be extin-
guished. 1t originated IN the gar
ret from n defective flne into
which the stove pipe ran from
q room in the basement of the
building used as n cook room.
Mr. Hunters family were at din
ner when the alarm was given.
Every effort was made to save
the furniture and household eff
fects but comparatively little Was
saved. The contents Of two rooms
on the second floor were saved
but badly dnmaged and broken.
The things from the cook room
and dining room in the basement
were also saved but the contents
of the other rooms were all lost.
The building contained ten
rooms and was two and n half
stories high, the first story, or
basement, being of brick. Mr.
Hunters loss is probably between
81, 500 and 1900, with no in.
suranee, except $500. on the
building IN Witherspoon's agency.
Mr. Hunter has moved into the
Bennett building on the corner Of
French and Barr streets. He
will probably rebuild in the nepr
future.
1t is singular coincidence that
our two policemen both lost their
houses by fire within two days
Mr. Pardue having lost his the day
before, Friday. Had the fires
occurred at night it woula ever
have been thought that a malicious
enemy had applied the torch, but,
occurring in daytime, shows both
we're the result of accident.

Three Doctors In Consultation.

"When you are sick, what you like best is to be chosen for q medi- cine in the first place; what exper- fence tells you is best, to be chosen in the second place; what reason (i. e., Theory) says is best is to be chosen in the last place. But if you can get Dr. Inclination. Dr. Experi- ence and Dr Reason to hold a con sultatiOn together. they will give you the best advice that can be talk en.
 When you have a bad cold Dr. Inclination would reccomend Cham berlain's Cough Remedy because it is pleasant to take. Dr. Experience would recommend it because itnever fails to effect a speedy and perman- ent cure. Dr. Reason would recom- mend it because it is prepared on scientific principles, and acts on na- ture's plan in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions and restoring the system to natural and healthy condition.

 of the efforts made to obtain revision of the case referring with denunciation to Major Estehazy and reviewed Mime. Dreyfus' appeal for revision of the case
 In so doing, M. Bard, said the appeal is based on the assumption that the bor- dereau was written by Major Esterhazy. He then pointed out that there were sus- picious facts which justify the request for revision. Mime. Dreyfus contended her husband did not write the borde- reau, which all experts reported he did write. The court, therefore, would have to examine these facts and decide wheth- CT a revision is justified. M. Bard added that the appeal for a revision was decid- ed upon ill consequence of the late Lieu. tenant Colonel Henry's confession that he had forged the documentin the case, but M. Bard said this forgery was com mitted in 1896 and could not alone be regarded as ground for a revision or for an annulment ef the judgment ren- dered in 1896. Notwithstanding the fact, M Bard said that Lieutenant Colonel Henry committed forgery, his evidence was most crushing against Dreyfus but he continued. that the evil denee of a forger Is open to suspicion. There was therefore, presumption of conscience, barred upon fresh facts which led 10 an appeal for revision of the case and there were also grounds to ask whether another new fact had been brought to light and if Drey- fus was really the author of the bordereau, the note written by Major Esterhazy and found ill the apartment of Mme. Pays, which the writer asked what she should do respecting tho bor- dereau.
 M. Bard read Colonel Du Patty de Clans report of the arrest of Dreyfus, then Captain of the French artillery, doing staff duty which the colonel said Dreyfus while waiting his dictation, be- trayed intense excitement. But, M. Bard added, amid surprise of his hear CTS, a photograph taken at this writing does not give the slightest indication of Dreyfus laboring under excitement. Dreyfps.s M. Bard also said, denied to CoIonelsDu Patty de Clams that he had never had relations directly with for eign powers. Colonel Du Patty de Clams' report further showed that Drey- fus had to write discriminating docu- ments in 10 different ways sitting and standing, with and without gloves and with ordinary and broad pointed pens.
