AT LAST.
People OF Plains 20 Have Some Protac-
tion From Fire.

People of Plains 10 Have Some Protec-
tion From Fire.
For many years past the need
OF branch fire station on the
Plains has been generally acknowl
edged. 1t has often been that a
house has burned down in that
region before the firemen could
get out there with their apparatus.
The last Legislature provided
for a station on the Plains, and
the Bureau of Public Works is
going to erect one right away. 1t
will be a wooden building, situat-
ed on the west corner of Piikoi
street and Wilder avenue.
When the subject used to be
discussed, an idea was that the
chemical fire engine would be
placed in the station. Col.
Fisher, one of the Fire Commits.
eioners, says, however, that the
intention now is to have a light
fire engine for the station. Be
fore ample water mains were pro.
vided in that section the chemical
engine would have been the
thing, but with that desideratum
fulfilled a steamer is deemed pre-
ferable.
The preparation is $1,000, and
being out of current receipts there
is no need of waiting for funds.

Evidences That the Street Is Wait

Cuban Situation.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE stock market
and it recovered part of the losses
made then, but its tone was neverthe-
less unsettled and feverish. AS was the
case then, the dominant influence was
the disaster TO the Maine, an event
which is likely TO retain it's position in
the situation until all the circumstances
attending it have been thoroughly vent
Hated
The reports We're again conflicting in
the extreme. In the absence of con-
elusive evidence sentiment shifted rapid
ly in one direction and another. No
very strong efforts appeared to be made
to reason out the financial bearing of
the general subject. People knew that
war might result from the trouble, and
took the chances Oh that. General dis
cussion of the question disclosed
rather vague comprehension Of It's bear
inGs, as has been the case since its in
ception.
In London spectators apparently re-
gained control of their nerve today, and
resr'aed their purchases of stocks in this
market. Over 1000 shares We're reported
taken on balance on this account. The
strength shown by few particular
stocks where support was manifest had
n great deal TO do with steadying the
general list: Stocks in which support

statement of earnings made by the first

there was nothing particularly bearing

THEY SET A GIRI. ON FIRE.
The Outrageous Act OF Three Col.
ored Men

Atlanta, Ga. Feb. 17.-Gov. Atkinson
has received from Decatur county par
ticulars of one of the most horrible
crimes ever committed in this State
The information comes in the shape OF
a letter from Sheriff Patterson and tells
of the attempt of three negroes to burn
10 death the siXteen-year- old daughter of
one of the most prominent citizens of
that county.
one day last week, the victim a beau
tiful young girl went TO a spring about
two hundred yards from her fathers
house. At the spring she saw the three
negroes, but thought nothing of them.
since many stop at the place to drink
She was accosted by one of the men
who asked her name, and receiving the
information, asked if she was the daugh-
ter of Jim Alday. Upon receiving a
reply in the affirmative he sprang at he
and said: We'll. we going to burn
YOU up"
Two of the men seized her and while
she struggled with all her strength the
third one fired her clothing, and showing
her from him, told her with an oath 10
run. As the girl, now mass of flames.
ran screaming with the intense pain the
three negroes disappeared in the woods.
The girl ran to the door of her fathers
house, and there dropped. Every stitch
of her clothing had BEEN consumed. and
her body was blae<ened and blistered
Medical attention was promptly given
her. but it is likely that she is now dead.
Nothing has been heard from the ne
groes since their escape. There is no
doubt to what their fate will be if
they are captured. Sheriff Patterson has
requested the governor TO offer suitable
reward, ana this will probably be done ut
once.
