BESSEMER.

Bessemer, February H.-(Special) This
morning at about II o'clock, the residence
occupied by P. P. Moore, on the corner of
Arlington avenue and Twentieth street, was
discovered to be on fire.
The first that was known the roof was
found to be burning, having caught, it is
supposed, from a defective chimney. An
alarm was turned in and the department re-
sponded promptly, and despite the scarcity
of water, managed to extinguish the flames.
The damage to the house and furniture
amounted to about $780, covered by insur-
ance. The house is the property of d. +.

LOWEST EVER KNOWN.
Was Colder in Charleston Than in New
York or Boston.

Charleston, s. c., February 14.-The pub
lished tables showing the temperature of
Charleston from 1888 to today, the oldest on
this continent, prove that that of this
morning, 6S degrees, is the lowest ever
known here. 1t is remarkable that 1t was
colder here this morning at s o'clock than
in Boston and New York. The fall Of snow
also broke the record.
The reports from the entire state show
similar unprecedented climatic conditions,
the thermometer at the Clemson college
weather bureau, within fifteen miles of the
Blue Ridge mountains, registering as low
as degrees below zero.
Reports from the interior are meager,
but the laborng classes, especially the ne
groes, are suffering for fuel, and much
restitution is experienced. Relief commit
tees will be organized
Many hogs and cows in the country are
reported frozen to death and truck and
other crops have been seriously damaged
No maritime disasters have been reported
here. but the captain of vessel arriving
today from Savannah, reports that Stono
river is frozen over for distance of six
miles, six inches thick, and that he had to
cut his way through with difficulty. This
condition was never known before. He also
reports a number of small craft stuck in
the ice In Stone river, but none of them in
distress.

LIVESTOCK OWNERS.
Annual Convention Being Eeld ia
Woodward, o. T.

woodward, o. t., February 14-This town
is crowded with stockmen, attending the
annual convention of the Oklahoma Live
Stock association. Prominent stockmen are
here from all parts of the territory, and
have been comparing notes as to the eff
fects on cattle of last weeks blizzard and
cold wave.
1t is generally conceded that the first
reports were exaggerated. While there were
reports of heavy losses in scattered herds,
the majority of the cattemen report losses
ranging from 1 to per cent, and on the
whole 1t is not believed that losses will
reach 10 per cent. on the range. The heavi-
est losses seem to have occurred in herds
of southern cattle moving through the ter
ritory. They were brought in late and in
bad condition, and In one instance loss
OIL 81 per cent. is reported in a herd of 200
head, and the remainder wfie-slie. :.
Such instances are rare, however, and the
native and western cattle wintering in the
brakes are coming through with a much
lighter loss than seemed possible last week,
when the mercury was down to ~ degrees
below zero.

Oh! The Pain

It's Tortures Known to

Everybody should know that
Rheumatism is a peculiar acid con-

THE RIOT AT TEXARKANA

Atlanta, February 14.-Brigadier General
A. c.. NJ. Pennington, commanding officer
of the department of the gulf, today re-
ceiyed the report of Lieutenant Dixon, of
the Tenth United States cavalry. giving par
ticulars of the attack made by citizens of
Mississippi and Texas upon the enlisted men
of his command
When the. soldiers were ordered from
Huntsville to Texas the regiment left in
sections and by different routes. One of
the sections of the regiment created some
disturbance at Texarkana, Ark, as was at
the tine reported in the dispatches of the
Associated Press.
A section carrying two troops had a rough
trip to Texas. Lieutenant Dixon reports
that near Meridian, Miss. his train was
fired upon by unknown parties. He made
an effort to locate the offenders but was
not successful.
On Wednesday, February II. while the
section was passing the town of Harlem,
Tex, the lights in some of the cars con-
tanning the two troops of cavalry were put
out and the men had gone to sleep. Lieu
tenant Dixon states that all at once he was
startled by the cracks of several pistols and
heard windows in cars adjoining crack. He
says the troopers all took refuge on the
floor and the bullets passed over them. He
passed to the car in front and he heard
another volley crash into the car in which
the lights had been ext:nguished Rushing
into the car he found his men lying fiat
on the floor and states that one would oc-
casionally rise to the window and return
the fire at the party outside. He finally
stopped the firing.
In all Lieutenant Dixon estimates that
loo bullets were fired into the train, but that
no one was hit General Pennington, in
endorsing the report to Washington recon-
mends that the outrage be investigated by
the governments of the states concerned
and it is probable that some action will re-
suit The strange feature of the report
of lieutenant Colonel Baldwin was that
while he was naturally indignant at the
treatment of the two troops of his regi-
ment he said nothing in regard to the out
RACES reported from Texarkana.

Rochester. N. Y, fought a twenty-round
draw at the Auditorium this afternoon The
bout was clean cut affair from start to
finish, with good work On both sides. O'Don-
nell was a tri1e the more aggressive at
times but Goulette met him well at all
points and both men were strong through
out.
The last round was fast and furious, each
man striving for knockout blow, unsuc-
cessfuly. Neither man was punished seri-
ously.
The bout was under the auspices of r. A.
Hitler, of the New Memphis Jockey club,
and was attended by fully 1000 people.

except that the rains on the extreme
northern coast have extended southwark
into northern California.
A low area is evidently developing off the
Texas coast and rains are therefore indi-
Gated in southern portions of the gulf
states. There will also be light SHOWS in
the upper lake region and light rain or
snow in the central Mississippi valley.
Generally fair weather will probably pre-
vail elsewhere east of the Rocky mount
aims.
The temperatures will continue COM
paratively high west of the Mississippi
river and rise generally to the eastward.
In the Atlantic states brisk northerly
winds are indicated in the northern portion
and fresh eastern winds in the southern
portion.

THE THIRD ALABAMA.
One of the Two Negro Regiments to be
Retained in Service.

Washington, February H.-(Special 1.-THE
Third regiment of Alabama and the Ninth
Immune regiment, which is also composed
of negroes. are the only two colored regi-
ments which will be kept in the service.
The war department has decided that ne
groes do not make good soldiers, being
thoroughly incapable of regular discipline
and have decided to muster out every one
of the negro regiments with the exception
of the two above named. These two it was
stated at the war department were the best
of the negro regiments to have been mus
tered in and therefore would be kept in the
service.
