A fire, undoubtedly of incendiary ORR
gin, was discovered in dozen places,
about 11:3O o'clock Tuesday night,
among the stacks of lumber at J. A.
Chaffin & Co.'s mills, at Milton, where
the men are out on a strike A tele-
gram was received in Pensacola at
midnight calling for help, and the
steamer fire engine, in charge of COM
petent firemen, was sent up on a spe-
cial train which left Pensacola at $50
The lumber in the yards there had
been bought by Baars, DunwOody &
Co., timber merchants of Pensacola,
and they sent tugs and a fire boat to
fight the flames, and the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad also sent up three
of their switch engines. The
fire was gotten under control at
Z O'Clock. Seventy-fve stacks of lum
Der, containing two or three million
feet, was burned. The loss is estimat-
ed at about $4,000.

the route to be entirely practicable. A

THE TRIALS BEGUN.

an UprOar.
Paris, Nov. 9.-Crowds began to as
semble in the vicinity of the Luxem-
bourg palace about noon to-day in an
ticipation of the opening of the state
trial in the senate.
The police formed a Gordon around
the building. Traffic was almost inter
rupted. The police prevented fractional
gatherings around the leaders of the
anti-semites. nationalists and monarch
lists who We're present. There was a
slight incident on the appearance of
Henri Rochefort, who received an ova-
ton amidst shouts of hostility for the
members of the high court.
The Is men accused who had been
conveyed to cells in the senate house
during the morning We're all conducted
to their places by republican guards.
When M. Fallieries, president of the
senate, followed by law officers. took his
seat at / o'clock, the names of the sena-
tors were called. Fifteen failed to an
swer. M. Fallieries then called the
names of the defendants and all replied
in loud tones.
M. Deroulede. replying to the usual
question as to his profession, said: DE
fender of the rights of the people,"
An usher then read the long indict-
ment, to which the audience paid little
attention.
The senate adjourned the public hear
ing until tomorrow and deliberated be-
hind closed doors on the question
whether the senators who We're absent
at the opening of the sitting could be
allowed to take part in the future pro-
ceedings. 1t was finally decided by a
vote of 1870 to 100 to exclude the absent
senator's.
During the session to-day the wit
nesses, who number 400. having created
an uproar, were expelled in punches of
10. The spectators left the palace with
out any untoward incident occurring.

He MADE THEM LAUGH
The Interpreter Gould Give the
Court Points.
BEFORE JUSTICE DEVINE
Stocken Objected to Putting Useless
Questions and Thought the Law
yers Were Making Joke
OF Him.

Those who were present in Justice De-
vines court yesterday were treated to an
unexpected comedy, which proved very
amusing to the judge, attorneys and
spectators. The comedy was in the form
of an interpreter who was more anxious
to tell his story that the one told him by
the witness.
The case on trial was that of Patrick
Flaherty, who was charged with assault
in the third degree. 1t was alleged that
on Monday night at Z o'clock John Cav
rex and F'laherty were working side by
side at the lower works, when some mis-
understanding arose between them. Fla
herty, it was alleged, hit Cavrek ter
rife blow on the head with shovel
The trial took place yesterday after
noon al 2:30 o'clock before Justice De.
vine. County Attorney j. H. Duffy pros
ecuted the case and Attorney John r.
Boarman appeared for the defendant. The
following jury was sworn: c. Fl. Will
l1ams, Ben Falk. 0. l.. Gibee, ]. Hauser,
w. Copinus and William Glenn.
The plaintiff, John Cavrek, was the
first witness called. He was unable to
talk English and Tom Stocken was call
ed to act as interpreter of the Creation
language The fun began when, on be-
ing asked il he was competent to act
as interpreter, Stocken answered.:
Il don't know much about the English,
but I know enough to show something
to the judges and judgment (meaning the
attorneys) gentlemen"
"Weli, if you know English sufficiently
to be able to show the Anaconda judges
and Anaconda lawyers something, I
guess you'll do" retorted Mr. Duffy
During the Interpretation of Cavreks
testimony the attorneys were often call
ed upon to tell Stocken to stop, for the
reason that the latter would hold long
conversations with the plaintiff and in
stead of giving the latter's answers
would tell the jury what he (Stocken)
thought of the case.
All of Stocken's answers We're very
comical and created considerable laugh
ter. This made the Interpreter mad and
when asked by Mr.. Duffy to ask the
plaintiff where he had been hit with the
shovel, Stocken got angry and cried out
Gentlemen. l want to tell you I'm no
FOOL Why d. it, you can see just as
we'll as me that it was on the head
1t took more than five minutes to con-
vince the interpreter that it was neces-
sary for the plaintiff to tell that to the
jury himself.
When told to ask the plaintiff who had
struck him, Stocken pointed to Justice
Devine and asked Cavrek if it was the
judge who had hit him.
Several witnesses We're heard, after
which the case was submitted without
argument. The jury returned verdict
of not guilty and assessed the costs of
the case to Cavrek.

SERIOUS CHARGES
Have Been Made Against Indian Trader
C. L. Babcoek. .."#"

Z. Il. BaDcOGk.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Washington, Nov. 9.--The commissioner
of Indian affairs has revoked the license
of Charles 7. BabcOek as trader at the
Crow Indian reservation. The action is
based upon charges flied with the In
dian office and recently investigated by
an Indian agent. 1t is alleged that Bah
cock has been in the habit of charging
the Indians exorbtant prices for goods
purchased by them and using extraordi-
nary and improper measures to enforce
the collection of his bills. One speciflca-
ton states that he took from the mail
an Indians pension check, forged the
Endorsement, drew the money and cred
tied it to the Indians account.
Babcocll's friends have secured stay
OF proceedings until fuller investigation
can be made. Under the regula tons
Babcock will be permitted to act as
trader until his license expires, when it
will be revoked. This will give him an
opportunity to explain away the charges
against him if he has been victim of
purely circumstantial evidence.
