to cancel the wager Miss Davidson
would not consent, however. and after
some hesitation gave the kisses, while
her fiends cheered.-New York World.

 Sarah Chapman tcolored) died here last week and the night after her burial her house with it's con tents was destroyed by fire. It is supposed to have been the work Of an iLcendiary, but as yet there Is no clue to the guilty parties. She was the oldest person in this country. From the best information that can be had regarding her age she was about 100. Within tue last fifteen years Aunt Sarah, as she was vide ly known, bought b homestead claim and fitted it up. She wiled her property, consisting of one hun- dred acres of land, some cattle. hogs, horse, home and household goods, to one Thomas M. Mayes tcolored).
