The residence of Rev. Isaiah
Allmand, seven miles east Of this
place, was destroyed by fire on
Friday afternoon. The fire is
supposed to have caught from
the kitchen flue, and as none of
the male members Of the family
were at home very little Of the
contents Of the building were
saved. The loss will amount to
at least $1,000 and there was no
insurance on building or con-
tents.
Joe Kennedy was arrested here
Tuesday on information contain
ed in circular that he was want
ed in Hattierburg for stealing a
a horse. 1t seems that he hired
a horse from Hardy & Hutchins
livery stable there and after rid
ing it out Of the neighborhood
traded it for another. This was
four weeks ago, and it is thought
he has traded several times since,
but he had the same saddle that
he got from the livery stable in
Hattiesburg. He has been idea-
titled, and viii be carried back to
Hattiesburg for trial.
The committee appointed by
the Baptist church to draft reso-
lutions expressive Of the loss
sustained by the death of Prof,
w. K. Nettles, made its report
Sunday, and on motion the reso-
lutions submitted were laid on
the table till the second Sunday
in next month, when the same
will be considered at memorial
service to be held in honor of the
deceased. This service will take
place at Ii a. M, on that day, in
lieu of the regular morning
preaching service. Memorial ad-
dresses will be delivered by sew
eral, and the occasion will no
doubt be interesting and helpful
to all who attend.

Conservative estimates place the

Pretoria, Sept. SIN the first raad
this morning debate was resumed on
the Interpolation of the government
respecting the concentration of British
troops on the border and the stoppage
of ammunition consigned to the
Transvaal
The house adjourned shortly before
noon after adopting the following res
olutions: 1.-The volksraad having con-
sidered that friendly correspondence is
still passing between the govern
ments; that the concentration of
troops in great numbers near the bor-
der has a restless effect on the inhab-
itants of the state, and that the
Transvaal has lived in friendship and
peace with all nations and desires to
express its regret at the fact of the
concentration, and expresses the
opinion that in the case of eventuali-
ties which might lead to enmity or
war between the two governments,
the cause would not lie with the re-
public

owig to the fact that several questions
of unusual Importance are slated for
consideration. Foremost among these
is the proposition to change the name
of the order eliminating the word ME
chanic" which, it is claimed by the ad-
vocates of the proposed change, gives
a false idea of the nature of the or
ganization. The proposal will meet
with vigorous resistance and it is be-
lieved that the majority CT the dele
gates will vote in the negative. The
general sentiment of the members, it
is said, is opposed to change the name
which has served the order for more
than half a century and under which
it has grown from an insignificant To-
cal organization to a national order
with mere than a score of state coun-
ellis with an aggregate membership ex-
ceding 10000.

becomes effective today, all master
horseshoers and journeymen through

suits from the efforts of the National
Horseshoers' association, and Michi-
gan is the ninth state in which such
legislation has been enacted during
the last seven years. The other states
having similar laws are New York,
