TRIED TO BURN THE COMMISSARY.
The Object Thought to Have Been to Kill
Mr.. Cunningham's Woodsman.

The Calhoun Courier tells of an at
tempt to burn the commissary at the
turpentine farm of Mr.. w. Fl. G. Cum
ningham, near Leary, a few nights
ago.
Mr.. Fipp, Mr.. Cunningham 5 woods
man, was sleeping in the rear Of the
commissary when he was aroused at
late hour of the night by the popping
of fire. Mr.. Fipp got up hurriedly and
went out of the burning building with
his gun in one hand and bucket OF
water in the other. and by hard work
succeeded in extinguishing the flames
1t is believed that the building was set
on fire for the only purpose of killing
Mr.. Fipp when he came out, but the
coward who attempted this dastardlY
deed didn't have grit enough to shoot
after Mr.. Fipp appeared.
See to it that unlicensed agents for
out of-town laundries do not get your
work. 1t is rightfully ours.

Franklin Township People Appear I'm
Justice Smock's Court.

Joel A Adair. a constable Of Justice w.
r. Toom's court in Franklin township. was
tried yesterday In Justice Shocks court
on charges of assault and battery and pro-
family.
On Feb. IS Adair met Joseph NJ. Smith. a
neighbor. on the road near his home. and
few angry words were passed. They met
later in store, and Adair challenged
Smith to "come outside and I'll lick you"
During the evidence il was shown that
while Smith was on his way to Indianapo-
lis Adair told friend of the trouble he had
had, and the friend filed charges of assault
and battery. profanity and carrying con-
cealed weapons against him before Justice
Toom, who appointed a deputy to serve the
papers. The justice, however. neglected to
swear the new officer, but Adair was in
court and pleaded guilty to all of the
charges and was fined in each, the fines
and costs amounting to S. In the States
case yesterday motion was made TO ex-
clude the record OF Justice Toom, for the
reason. 1t was claimed, that Adair procured
because the injured party was not in at
tendance upon the court Arguments In
the case will be heard this morning.
One Of the amusing features OF the trial
in Justice looms court was the plea OF
guilty by Adair to carrying concealed
weapons He is constable and entitled to
carry them.
Justice Smock said he thought Adair saw
an opportunity to escape heavier fine and
was pupil In his school about forty years

THE DEAL is CLOSED
BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND
THE LOCAL SYNDICATE.
Purchasers Of Present Federal Site
Make the First Cash Payment
The Rental.

c. r. sayles and CORTLAND Van Camp,
representing the purchasers Of the post
ONCE site. have finally closed the deal and
completed arrangements for renting the old
building to the government.
They have paid down 100000 in cash and
have secured a contract from the govern
ment for a rental OF the building on
basis OF per cent. on the deferred pay
ment Of 100000. less the amount paid by
private tenants.
The government will pay them an annual
rental OF about $1,000 pending the COM
pletion OF the new building. No forward
steps can be taken on the plans of the
projected new building until Congress
makes additional provision for the acquisi-
ton OF the land condemned for the site.
An appropriation for the amount neces-
sary will be included In the sundry civil
bill. which. however, will not be reported
before the middle of April. The money may
not be available before the middle of May
or the first OF June. as the sundry civil
bill Is one Of the last to be ground through
the hopper.
Until Congress takes action the area OF
the site cannot be determined on account
OF the complications which have arisen in
connection with the condemnation and coll
lateral proceedings.

MEETING OF DEMOCRATS.
Many of the Faithful Gather at the
Grand Hotel.

A sort of "loye feast Of the local De-
mocracy was held at the Grand Hotel last
night, there being nearly hundred men
present. Those in charge of the meeting
said that every faction Of the Democratic
party was represented.
Mayor Taggart was chairman of the
meeting and speeches were made by Henry
N. Span, j. e. Mccullough, Frank B.
Burke, w. ". Rocker and others. The
mayor was also down for an address. Some
of those who were in the meeting declared.
afterward. that everything was most "har-
monious." 1t appeared to be the sentiment
of the meeting that the money question is
a side issue this year and that there are
more important matters to engage the at
tention of the orators and thinkers of the
party. Some of the speakers strongly de-
nounced Imperialism and President Nc
Kinley's attitude toward the Porto Rican
tariff measure was criticised.
