While r. D. Edwards was in the
courthouse late Sunday afternoon at
tending to some urgent business
matter, he accidentally dropped a
lighted lamp in the probate office, and
blaze at once commenced to play
across the floor and later up a door
facing. Mr.. Edwards was badly fright
eHed and ran to the outer door to get
a bucket of water that he supposed to
be in the hall, but the bucket was
empty. He then rushed out doors and
grabbed up some snow, which he put
around the fire on the floor to keep it
from spreading. BY this time the
blaze had commenced to ascend the
door facing, when, upon more mature
thought, Mr.. Edwards grabbed up his
overcoat and smothered out the
flames. Only slight scorch to the
door facing resulted, but a good deal
Of excitement was created IN that part
of town for awhile.

The COURIER received a reading
notice last week from a man who
wanted to advertise a new school OF
magnetic healing at Carrollton. The
sum of IS cts in stamps was enclosed,
but as the advertisement amounted to
$500 at regular rates, the stamps
were returned, and the advertisement
consigned to the waste basket. Yet
a number of papers ran the lad" D." for
the IS cts, although they knew 1t was
worth, at least, four times that amount.
1t is such acts as these that belittles
the newspaper business, and reduces
it to worse than starvation basis.

The social bark of the J.. T. club
was launched for the season Of 1900
1000 at its beautiful cIub-room up
stairs in Mrs. Mary Z. Young's new
brick buildings last Thursday night,
the male members of the club having
sub-leased the room from n. O. Tate,
the lessee.
The quarters are ideal for such
organization and have been nicely
urnlshed by the ladies of the club
and Mr.. Tate, and regular meetings
are held every Thursday night.
One married lady and two young
ladies entertain the club, and the
names of the hostesses are selected in
alphabetical order.
The first trio OF entertainers for the
present season were Mrs. w. G. Gas
ton and Misses Anne Grinstead and
Grace Edwards. Miss Edwards was,
unfortunately, not present, but YRS.
CASTOR and Miss Grinstead most
charmlngly performed the duties as
hOstesseS.
A progressive guessing contest was
arranged in which the contest
ants guessed at the names of
countries, cities, vegetables, flowers
and authors, the guessers taking their
cue from a letter, written on piece
of cardboard and thrown down on
the table at which they were seated.
The struggle for supremacy was
quite spirited, and when 1t ended four
different parties, Rev. J. r. Finley, K.
R. Elliott and Mesdames a. c. Seiser
and C. P Vandiver had progressed
five times, each, and drew straws for
the puze, a beautifully bound book,
entitled Violets, poetical selections
from Tennyson. Mrs. Vandiver was
most successful in the straw-drawing
and received the prize.
The BOBBY prize, box of A B c
blocks, was captured by our genial
friend, J. c. Halter who believes in
dealing IN certalnties. and for that
reason is not good at guessing.
The supper tables had been dalnt-
lily and temptingIy spread during the
entire evening, and when refreshments
were announced all were prepared to
enjoy them. The bill Of fare was de
licious and consisted Of
MENU.
Roasted Turkey. Salmon Salad.
Butter Sandwiches.
Cucumber Pickles. Currant Jelly.
Chocolate. stuned Dates
After supper, tOasts were proposed
by w. A. CrawIey, president of the
club, and responded to as follows:
"Our Club" c. P. Vandiver.
The J. T. Club" L. J. Davis Of
Brunswick
Our Club-Room," Rev. J. R. Fin
ley.
1t was near the hour of midnight
when adieus we're spoken, and cordial
expressions of gratitude were made to
the hostesses for the splendid enter
taInment they had provided, and
which had enabled all to spend such
a joyous evening.

EXPRESS TRAIN ROBBED.
Safe Blown Open and Contents Taken
Men Escaped.

Cochise, Ariz., Sept. 12.-Express
train No. 10, on the Southern Pacific,
was robbed near here last night by
four masked men, who blew the safe
open and took everything in sight.
The amount OF their booty is said to be
small.
The train was stopped, the engine,
mail and express cars were cut off from
the rest of the train and run II mile
farther up the road, where the bandits
stopped to complete their work. The
express messenger was forced to open
his car and the robbers attacked the
safe with dynamite. The strong box
was soon blown open and the contents
taken by the thieves, who hastily de.
parted.
They were last seen going north on
foot, and posse started out on their
Trail. The dynamite used on the safe
blew out the side of the express car
and tore up the floor. There is no
clue to the identity of the robbers.

RAILWAYS IN LUZON.
Arrangements Completed for Another
Line on the Coast.

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Special corre-
spondence to the Tribune from Manila,
under date of August A, says:
Agents for company of Spanish
capitalists, some of whom live in Ma
Mia. announce that arrangements have
been completed for the building OF
modern railroad line in Luzon that will
connect Manila with all the important
towns along the west coast OF the
island as far north as Laoag. The
route ia kept secret, but it is UNDER
stood that it will be the same as pro-
posed in 1875, when the scheme for
government railroads in the Philip
pines was officially projected.
Three lines were planned at that time,
only one of which was completed, the
present railroad, which runs from Ma
Mia to Dagupan. distance of l5l
miles. The company is keeping it's
movements secret to prevent the two
or three companies that are said to be
organizing in the United States for
the purpose of building railroads in
Luzon flom anticipating it in securing
the same route. The Americans who
have talked railroads here generally be.
lieve that new town and port will be
established either on the north coast OF
Luzon or the northern part of the west
coast of the island, as terminal Of the
railroad.
This would save $50 miles sailing to
Manila for ships from the United
States or from Hong Kong, and with
rapid communication to Manila
through the richest provinces of the
island, would be reasonably certain to
grow rapidly.

INCREASED NAVAL ESTIMATES.

Money.

Repairs and New Ships Cost . Heap OF
Money.
New York, Sept. ia special to
the Herald from Washington says:
The naval estimates for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1901, will aggregate
about $50, 200, 900. This considera BILE
increase in the cost of the navy is due
in great part to the expenditures which
will have to be made during the pres
ent and coming fiscal year for the con-
st1uction of the 81 vessels building,
and that three battleships and three
armoled cruisers. which will be con.
tracted for as soon as congress takes ao-
tion enabling the department to pl:ce
contracts for armor.
Admirals Hichborn and Melville
have estimated that $18, 900 will
he required to meet bills of shipbuild-
ers. In addition to this sum. Admiral
Hichborn estimates that $4,000, 600
instead of $4,000, 900 will be required
for repair ships. There is reason to
believe that Admiral Crowinshield,
chief Of the bureau of navigation, will
recommend in his forthcoming report
that the enlisted force be increased to
10000 men and will make estimates
therefor. He will also make ample
provision for target practice for the
service.
Admiral O'Neill's estimate for the
armor for the vessels under construc-
tion and proposed are very high. His
estimates for the present fiscal year
amounted to $4,000, 900, which was ap-
propriated. The estimates for the COM
ing year will exceed this amount.
