Mrs. Tobey Suffers a Rather
Serious Loss.

Mrs. Tobey Suffers a Rather
Serious Loss.
About $50 o'clock last Thursday
evening the house on hurry street
occupied by Mrs. Tobey, was discov-
cred to be on fire, and before any
effort could be made to extinguish them
the flames had burst through the win
dows and doors. At first glance 1t APP
peared that it would be useless to at
tempt to save the structure, and as the
interior was one mass OF flames, the
saving OF any of the contents could not
be attempted: but, nevertheless, the
three or four score men who had as
sembled went to work with win, and
with the aid of a half hundred fire
buckets from Hayes's store, soon had
the building deluged with water, aud
the flames extinguished. The contents
OF the building were almost completely
DESTROYED, and the house itself was
quite badly wrecked, but fortunately
the flames were quelled before spread
ing to the neigh boring buildings.
The fire was caused by the explosion
of a coal oil lamp which Mrs. Tobey
had left turned low when she went
out short time before.
F. NJ. Clark circulated a subscription
paper the next day and raised $1,000
to aid the unfortunate woman in re-
pairing her home.

D. G. Dickerson, superintendent Of
the Butter6eld company, has returned
from Salt Lake, and was pleased With
the progress made on the mill during
his absence. The building Is now com.

yet arrived from the railroad. The
battery and Q few other attachments
are also missing, and unless they arrive
shortly delay will follow.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Millick departed

Southern industrial Meeting.

Tn June a convention of the South ,rn Industrial Association is to be held II Philadelphia, and the various con- nercial organizations of that city are preparing to welcome one thousand delegates from this section. These or yanizations are cooperating. and every effort will be made to render the stay ,f the Southern business men in that .ity agreeable.
 Philadelphia is striving to secure a arger share of Southern trade. Here .ofore that trade has stopped short of Baltimore, or gone by to New York, md now Philadelphia proposes to show that it has advantages to offer ilso. It proposes to show that its prod acts are varied, ranging from a bat .leship to a paper of pins, and that it s entitled to a share of Southern rade.
 In order to make good impression 1pon the delegates to the convention l varied programme of entertainment aas been made, and the city's seaside resorts will be made a part of it. Phil ldelphia will be disappointed if there $ not a largo attendance from every Southern trade center be it large or .mall. Every country town should be represented, as well as the larger trade centers. This district should ,end all told one hundred men to Phil ldelphia.

Birmingham's Vital Facts.

Health officer Mason did not tell flattering story concerning births and deaths in this town in the month of February. There were more of the latter than of the former, and the death rate was 25.6 out of each 1000 of population. This is much too high. A death rate of 16 to IS in these days of sanitation is high enough, and filth and slovenliness must explain a high rate in this town located as 1t is in healthful valley amid health-giving hills. The natural advantages leave nothing to be desired, but the care of alleys, streets mad rear premises is not what it should be.
 Dr. Mason's rates for whites and blacks are scarcely trustworthy, be- cause he does not possess, and does not claim to possess, accurate figures of the numbers in the town of either whites or blacks. He estlmates the white population at 24,147 and it's death rate at 12.9. The black popula- tion is estimated at 14,2S6, and the death rate is put at AT per 1000 of pop ulation. These figures are probably misleading, as the forthcoming figures of the census will doubtless show.
 But whether they are misleading or not, the death rate of the city as whole is too high. It should be reduced from 25.6 to at least r, and this can be accomplished through higher de- gree of cleanliness and sanitation, both of which should be more thor oughly enforced The city is not clean and wholesome. Every alley in it is foul, very foul, and the high death rate comes from these alleys. These alleys are a mistake; they should not have been opened by the builders of the new city; but lHey are here, and they should be kept clean and wholesome. They were never fouler in the history O. the town, and the death rate goes up proportionately, although the town was visited by no epidemic last month.

RECALLS A NOTABLE DUEL.

From the Adairville Ky.) Banner.
 MT. L. Paiseley has found among the old papers of his father an old deed of Andrew Miller conveying 300 acres, more or less, from old man William Burr, a Virginian, who moved to this country about the date of the deed. which was October ?, 1S13 On this same property was the house now occupied by Joe Burr, and at which Andrew Jackson lodged the night before he fought the notable duel with Dickerson. The public road at that time seems to have run along with what is now known as Smiths Branch, then called Malden's Creek, and crossed the river at what is now caller Burr's ford, and went on down the north side of the river; then turning across the north prong not far from the Red River mill, and was known at that time as the old Spring. field and Russellvlle road
