BIG FIRE ATTExARKANA.
Over seventy-Trve Thousand Dollars wort1 of Property Destroyed, Including
 the Opera House.

Or the mcrning of the c3d inst Are destroyed over CTS. .o)o worth of prop erty in the business center of Texark- ana. The fire started in the opera house, owned by A. L. Ghio, who con- ducted saloon on the first floor The flames spread to M. D. Tilson s carriage shop, Benjamin's hardware store, and thence to II. F. Briley's dry goods store. Here the fire was checked, but the stock was ruined. The opera house was on the site where terrible dis aster occurred in 1881. A three story brick adjoining an old one story frame building had just been completed. The frame was occupied as saloon and gambling house. About o'clock in the evening tornado struck the town and blew the brick over on the frame build ing, burying number of employees and frequenters of the place beneath the ruins of both buildings. As the saloon was illuminated with coal-o lamps, the whole mass took fire, and the scene was horrifying one, the bodies of the unfortunatevictime being burnt beyond recognition before the fire was extln- guished. How many perished in this disaster is not known, but it was sup posed at the time between forty and fifty people were in the building. Fol- lowing is an estimate of the loss by the fire the other day: A. L. Ghio, saloon md stock, loss, s45, 900; insurance, o25,- 900; M. D. Tilson. loss on building and carriages, e7,00O, insured for one-half; J. E. Benjamin, loss on stock, e7, 900. insurance, 5000; H. F. Briley, loss on stock, s6,0O0, insured for one-half. Sev- eral real estate men and lawyers who had offices in the block were heavy losers.

Knights of Pythias.

One of the most important questions before the recent session of the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias of Arkansas, held in Eureka Springs, was the sus- pension of Juliet Lodge, No. 6, of Pine Bluff. The lodge was suspended sew eral weeks age by the grand chancellor on account of it's refusal to suspend Horace q. Allls after his conviction in United States court in connection with the collapse of the First National Bank of Little Rock. Mir. Allis had been a member of the Pine Bluff lodge num- Der of years, and after removing to Little Rock kept up his membership without interruption. The matter was settled by the grand lodge adoT ting a committee report restoring the charter of Juliet lodge, with a reprimand, and providing for an appeal to the supreme grand lodge to determine whether or not the local lodge was right in refus- ing to suspend Mr. Allis. A resolution was adopted fully indorsing President McKinley's war policy, and telegram was forwarded to the chief executive to the effect that Arkansas Knights stand ready to help enforce due respect to our country and it's flag. Officers were elected for the ensuing year, as follows: Grand chancellor, J. N. Till man, Fayetteville; grand vice chan cellor, J. NJ. Barker, Jr.. Atkins; pre- late. Charles D. James, Eureka Springs; keeper of records and seal, E. w. Bart lett, Little Rock; c. M. of Fix, K. F. Hyatt, Monticello; c. M. of A., Jacob Shaul, Marianna; c. l., w. E. Peters, Walnut Ridge; G. O., J. w. Hall, Hot Springs; grand trustee, II. H. Myers, Brinkley, Hot Springs was decided upon as the next place of meeting, third Tuesday in May, 1899.

ANOTHER SOLDER KILLED.
Head-End Collision Between q Freight and and Mili-

ONE MAN KILLED AND ONE W0Ua3eS
Ahe Accident Clearly the Result of Care- Icssness Which Each of the Two Ensi- neers Implicated Try to Fasten Upon the Other-Sent Home Under Military Escort.

SAVANNAH, Ga., May 24.-Private William Barbee of Co. 1, First regiment North Carolina volunteers. was killed and Private J. NJ. Colcolough of the same company, was seriously in- lured in collision of the militar V train with special freight train on the Florida Central & Peninsula rail- road early yesterday morning.
 The collision took place near Bur- roughs, Ga., Il miles from Savannah.
 The military train was section 4 of the regular passenger train No. 37, rom Columbia to Jacksonville On it was the third battalion, Mai Butler commanding, comprised of companies from Durham, Raleigh, Concord and Charlotte.
 Three sections of the train had passed the siding on which the freight awaited them. Engineer Nix of the freight train claimsthat the third sec tion displayed no signals indicating that another section was coming, and he drew out on the main track, the collision coming within 20 minutes.
 Engineer Carran, of the fourth sec. tion of the military train, saw the freight in time to bring his train to standstill before the collision. Com pany l occupied the front passenger coach in the rear of three box cars con- tanning equipments. Ample warning was given for the men to escape through doors and windows. Barbee and Colcolough were caught on the front platform between box car and the coaches. Barbee was literally crushed to death and Colcolough was badly rnangled about the shoulders, Several other privates were slightly bruised or cut
 The comrades of the two men hurt were intensely excited over their fate and violence to the engineer and con- ductor of the freight train was feared. Barbee's body was sent on to his home at Durham yesterday afternoon, ac- companied by an escort. Colcolough was also sent home.
 The engineer and conductor of the third section claim that their signals were correct, and place the responsi- bility on the freight crew. The rall- way officials and coroner have begun an investigation.

May Have Been at Any Port of the East ern Extremity of Cuba
 Firing Continues.

Copyright ls9s by the Associated Press.]
 PoRr-AU-PRINcE, Hayti, May 24.- The following dispatch has been re- ceived from Port de Paix, dated Satur- day last, land telegraph communica. tion having been interrupted up to yesterday:
 A furious cannonading was heard on the 10th (rhursday) last in the direc- tion of the north of Cuba. To-day firing continues in lively fashion.
 Port de Paix is in the northwest part of Hayti, and the firing referred to may have been at any part of the eastern extremity of Cuba. As the Spaniards claim Guantanamo was recently bom- barded by American ships, the sound of firing may have come from that di- rection.

 To this objection Chandler of New Hampshire inquired of Davis if it were not his intention to ask for continuous session of the Senate if no agreement to limit debate could be reached.
