Joseph Farrentelli, an Italian, OBJ
tanned judgment against the Missis-
sippi Valley Railroad in the Franklin
county circuit court last week for S15,-
600, an account of personal injuries.
Farrentelli was serving last year as a
fagman on an excursion train from
New Orleans to Natchez. At Harris
ton he was compelled by the conductor,
under protest, to attempt to uncouple
the tender and engine from the train.
This was not a part of his duties
and something with which he had no
experience, and in the attempt he got
his right arm completely crushed
between the elbow and shoulder. A
motion for new trial, on the ground
that the amount of the verdict was ex
cessive, was overruled by Judge Truly.
Messrs. Cassidy G. Cassidy of Brook
haven represented the plaintiff. Sever
al years ago Judge Cassidy won a
damage suit in Franklin county for
$4,000 in favor of Isaiah Thompson,
which the supreme court sustained
against the railroad.

The LEADER takes pleasure in add
ing today the name of C. 7. Montgom-
cry to the long list of worthy men who
are Offering for the responsible office
Of county treasurer. Thad. Montgom-
cry has an established reputation as
one of the truest and best citizens of
Lincoln county, against whose private
character no breath of detraction has
ever been whispered. AS member Of
the Board of Supervisors from District
No. 4 for the last three years, he has
shown himself painstaking, safe and
conscientious official. He has been
one of the most public spirited and
progressive members of the board, and
is due full share of the credit for the
excellent administration which the
present board, as whole, has given
the county. If the people decide to
elect him treasurer, they are certain to
make no mistake.

MASONIC HALL BURNED.
The Value of the Water Works as n Fire
Protection Demonstrated.

Protection Demonstrated.
The Masonic Hall in this city, two
story frame building, was discovered
to be on fire about IL o'clock last Fri
day night. The four hose companies
we're promptly on the ground soon
after the alarm was sounded, and,
though the flames had gotten well
under way, the fire was kept from
spreading to other buildings in the
locality, and finally extinguished be-
fore the burning building itself was
scarcely half destroyed. The splendid
work done on this occasion by our vol
unteer firemen, by tapping the fire
hydrants and playing four large
streams at one time, fully indicated
the wisdom of establishing the water
works as fire protection.
The fire seems to have started be-
tween the ceiling and roof of the build
ing and its origin is mystery. The
Masons had held a meeting that night
and when they left the hall less than
an hour before the alarm all lights had
been extinguished Some think a
match carried among the straw under
the caves by English sparrows, might
have been ignited in some way, while
others think an exposed electric wire
may have caused it.
The second story was used as lodge
rooms by all the secret societies of the
town, and every thing on that floor,
except the chest of the Knights of
Honor, was either destroyed or badly
damaged.
The building and furniture, which
belonged to the Masons, was insured
in the Phoenix for $3.50. The Knights
Templar had 600 insurance in the
Lancashire on their uniforms and fur
niture, and knights of Pythias S185 on
furniture and regalia in the Insurance
Company of North America, all of
these companies being represented by
the insurance agency of j. B. Daugh-
try. AS far as we can learn the other
societies had no insurance.
The Masons closed a trade with VIM.

The case of the State revenue agent
against the county treasurers, ap-
pealed from the chancery court of
Warren county, is now before the
supreme court. The records show that
the revenue agent at one time con-
strued the law as to what commissions
the treasurers were to receive exactly
the opposite to what he does now, as
is demonstrated by the following cor
respondence;

confined to the county funds proper?
"If all the above are embraced, how
are my commissions above those on

several funds? Your truly,

ing a Demo cJatic ticket this year of

The announcement of Hon. P. u.
Jones, of Brookhaven, as candidate
for State Senator from the counties Of
Lincoln and Lawrence will be found
in today's paper. Mr.. Jones was elect
ed to the Lower House from Lawrence
in 1895, but resigned his seat after the
legislative session of 1896, because of
his removal to this place. He stands
high as lawyer and as man, and II
elected Senator, the interests OF this
senatorial district will be in thor
oughly safe hands.

State Revenue Agent Writ Adams
has struck out into a new field that is
likely to produce long and lusty kick.
He is searching the records for those
individuals who have been loaning out
money on deeds in trust, and failing to
give in this capital to the tax assessor.
His Sc -ch for such delinquents will,
under the law of the land, extend back
to the year of our Lord 1868 years.
Those of them whose delinquency be-
gan that year, will have new cause to
consider l3 an unlucky number.-Fdy-

sounds Like Letter Written From Sher-
mans Army in the South During
the Sixties.
The following extract of letter, pub
lished in the Spokane Review, from a
soldier in the Washington regiment in
the Philippines is instructive. 1t is a
presentation of the Presidents policy
of benevolent assimilation" reduced
to practice:
We burned hundreds of houses and
looted hundreds more. Some of the
boys made good hauls of jewelry and
clothing. Nearly every man has at
least two suits of clothing, and our
quarters are furnished in style; fine
beds with silken drapery, mirrors,
chairs, rockers, cushions, pianos, hang
ing lamps, rugs, pictures, etc. We have,
horses and carriages and bull carts
galore, and enough furniture and other
plunder to load steamer.

We all like a slice of Bacon for
but how difficult to get it
'just right" Too salty, too fat or too
tough. Miller & Hart's wonderful Sc
cret of cure removes the difficulty. AL
ways mild, tender and delicious. The
berkshire" for those who want dain-
ty morsel, fit for an epicure.
