HIGGST0N MILLS BURNED.
sayvmiII. Planning Mill and KiIns of
j. j. Cummings Thought to Be n
Total Loss. .....

Total Loss. +-..,.
The saw mill, planning mill. and dry
kiln at Higgston, the property of Mr.
]. j. Cummings of savannah. were
burned yesterday afternoon. The fire
started about 1880 o'clock. in the boiler
room of the saw mill, it is thought,
and the flames thus started not only
destroyed the mills and the kiln, but
burned lot OF lumber as WELL, and
also set fire to the woods.
Mr.. Cummings was notified of the
trouble and left on the first train for
Higgston. Until he returns, probably
to-day, it will be impossible to learn
the full amount Of the damage and the
details of the fire.
Mr.. E. c. Kanupp, who was pas
senger on the Seaboard Air Line train
that passed Higgston last night about
Z o'clock. said that at the time the
fire was still burning fercely, though
all of the buildings, so far as he could
Judge, had already been so badly burn
ed as to be wrecks. The wind had
carried the sparks across the cleared
track in the vicinity of the mills to
the woods beyond, and they also were
OH fire.
All along the line of the Seaboard
Air Line road, said Mr.. Kanupp, for
est fires were to be seen; one about
seven miles this side Of Higgston had
reached a trestle. which was on fire
when the train arrived, and which ne
cessitated a delay of an hour before
the track could be examined and the
train brought across IL and allowed to
continue to Savannah.

DisorderIy Stablemen mt Fair
Grounds Punished for Assault.
John Landrum and Henry Anderson,
two white stablemen at the State Fair
grounds, who got into a row with a
bunch of inoffensive negroes the other
night and committed a serious assault
upon them, were arraigned before
Judge Norwood in the City Court yes
terday, on a charge of assault and bat
terry, and given their choice between
paying a fine of $40 and costs each. or
serving three months In the county
Jail.
They will probably spend their time
in jail. as nobody has yet appeared
who has manifested any willingness 70
make good the amount Of the fines and
costs assessed against them. The re-
corder has already sentenced them to a
term OF thirty days in jsil for disor-
derby conduct. based on the same Of
Tense, so thai they will have four
months TO serve before being allowed
their liberty.

w. c. Groves Claims to Have Been
Touched for over $40O.
w. C. Groves, a well known white
man, reported being robbed last night
of between $500 and $500 and a gold
watch, under the grandstand at the
Fair grounds. The crime is alleged to
have been committed around one of
the gaming tables, where the crowd
was jostling in an effort to play.
Groves claimed that the man went
in his pocket and took the coin and
watch in short order. He told his story
TO Chief Detective Hewitt of the Fair
force. and describes a man whom he
suspected. The detective had seen the
man aroud the gaming tables the day
before and had been watching him.
He was sure that the touch could not
have been made by the suspected in
dividual and no arrests were made.
The Fair ground detective did not
appear to take much stock in the re-
ported robbery and no arrests were
made

Mr.. Leon A. Bell, general agent of
the Chicago and Great Western, with
headquarters in Atlanta, was among
the prominent railroad men in Savan-
nah yesterday.
That the Plant System got it's share
of the travel to the State Fair Wed
nesday. is shown by the fact that 2,450
passengers went by that route The
heavy travel, especially in the after
noon, made it necessary to run trains
every fifteen minutes instead of every
half hour, as was the schedule before,
and it became further necessary to
increase the equipment to meet the de-
mands, four cars being used during the
greater part of the afternoon, and for
two trips five cars.
The Plant System yesterday issued
instructions to its agents telling them
to make a final effort to secure pas
sengers for Savannah so as to make
the crowds at the Fair for the last
two days as great as possible.
Three of the huge S0-ton engines, re-
| Gently built for the Plant System by
| the Baldwin Locomotive Works, have
been delivered, and are now in service
on the Alabama Midland branch of the
road. The fourth was started for the
same division last night.
The Plant System will receive next
week three switch engines now build

discussed by Colonel III. S. Olcott Sat

audience in Pythian hall.
He explained at some length the
work done by the society in India and
how the Hindoos, at first suspicious of
the movement, gave them a warm well

objects.
Reincarnation was lightly touched on
and for it the lecturer claimed a doc
trine of strict justice. The talk
throughout was simple in the extreme
and well within the comprehension of
all who listened.

Galveston. June 5.-Galveston will
have. no election for successor TO
Mayor Jones' The following explana-
ton is made.
There has been no election ordered
and consequently none will be held.
The mayor did not call an election for
the reason, so he states, that the time
Intervening between the election aud
the date when the commission law be-
comes effective is so short that the city
would not be justified in going to the
expense of holding an election for Off
GERS to serve during that period. There
was opposition to this view, but as an
action at law, If decided favorable to
his opponents, could be appealed by
the mayor, and the time thus taken up
would be longer than the period be-
tween the date of the election and that
when the commission bill becomes eff
fectlve, hence the opposition had no
remedy, and no election will take
place.
The commission bill becomes effect
i've July 9. 1t will then be the duty of
the county commissioners to order an
election for two elective commission
ers. Twenty days must elapse after
the election is ordered before 1t takes
place, as, according to the State law,
twenty days notice of an election must
be given. Thus If the county COM
missioners order the election on July
10, which it is expected they will do.
the election will be held July &c. The
exact date for holding the same, how
ever. will be stated in the call for an
election.
"The governor, according to the pro-
visions of the bill, may appoint the
other three commissioners any time af-
ter July 9. These appointments will
doubtless be made before the two cleo
tive commissioners are chosen, and the
five will be installed at the same time.
This will be about August 1. If no OBJ
stacles are thrown in the way and the
matter is handled as expeditiously as
possible.

VLADFONTEfN BATTLE WAS THE
SIERCEST OF THE WAR.
Fifty British Fell at the First volley from
the s--Artillcry Horses Were Shot
to Prevent Beers from Moving the Guns.
Loss on Both Sides.

London, June 5.-Details received re-
garding the fight at Vladfonten show
that 1t was one OF the most desper-
ate engagements Of the war.
General Dixon's column was trav-
ersing the district and establishing
posts, when it was attacked by 1900
Beers under command of Command
ant Kemp The Beers were so close
that fifty British fell at the first vol
lev.
The yeomanry held the position
protecting the guns until they were
nearly decimated, and then finding
1t impossible to save the guns, the ar
tillerymen shot the gun horses to pre-
vent the Beers from removing the
guns. The column quickly recovered
from the shock of the unexpected at
tack. The Derbyshires charged with
bayonets, and, after short, desperate
fight, drove off the Beers and recov-
cred the guns. The Derbyshres and
yeomanry both lost very heavily. 1t
is asserted that while the Beers had
temporary possession Of the guns they
shot two artlllerymen in cold blood for
refusing to work them against their
own comrades.
The appointment of Generay French.
who has been recrpiting his health in
Cape Town, to command the opera
tons in Cape Colony, indicates that
Lord Kitchener attaches considerable
Importance to the invasion.
The recrudescence of such fighting
brings further demands for the send
ing out Of achievements. The sur
render of Jamestown is regarded as a
disagreeable incident because it has
provided Commandment Kritzinger with
a fresh supply of the sinews of war.

Dallas, Texas, June Git has been
long since such widespread regret was
felt in Dallas on account of the death
of any man as Is felt over the death
of Hon. r. E. Burke. The home of
the dead congressman at Junlus street
and Haskell avenue is not the only
home in Dallas that is Swallowed by
the marks of mourning. No man in
Dallas was more popular. no man had
more friends. the death of no resident
of the city would have caused more
regret. Judge Burkes friends at
home included the whole population.
His death was not unexpected. The
end was looked for, although those
about his bedside expected him to live
through the night He had been un-
conscious since Sunday and recognized
no one. After midnight he sank fast
just before o'clock this morning the
heart seased to beat, The busy, event
full, successful life had closed.
