The three-room building on the planta-
ton of Mr.. T. E. Lanier, standing very
near his residence. was burned yesterday.
Mr.. Lanier's Office, where he kept his
books and papers, was in one of the rooms,
and his smokehouse was in the same build
ing, and valuable articles were stored in
all OF the rooms. Inc origin OF the fire
is a mystery, as there was no fire place in
the building and no fire at all had been
used there. The loss is about $500 with no
insurance.

BRIDGES MOTION JVERRULED.
He Is Now in Jail Until He Can Give
Bond for $4,000,

Bond for $4,000.
Rene, Ca, April 1.-THE motion for a
new Trial in the case of w. NJ. Bridges
convicted of embezzlement for a second
time last January, was completed late this
afternoon. Judge Henry overruled The mo-
ton and sentenced Bridges to four wears
in the penitentiary.
The bond was fixed at 5000 and pending
its execution, Bridges occupies a cell In
The county Jail. The motion for a new
trial has occupied the better part of two
days, and every inch of the way has been
contested The evidence is exceedingly
voluminous, and it required time to 60
through it. The overruiing of the motion
was expected, and now the case goes to
the Supreme Court for a second time.
Bridges was sentenced to five years in
the penitentiary in the previous trial, but
secured a new trial on techuicalities. When
the last jury made its verdict, they rec
commended that Bridges be punished as for
a misdemeanor. Many thought he would
be fined but the carrying of the recon-
mendation was entirely optional with the
Judge
Relatives have gone to the country now
to secure the new bond. No trouble in
getting it signed is anticipa ed, and Bridges
will probably be released from custody to-
morrow.
