SENATOR TILLMAH
SAYS It IS FOOLISH. :"
Takes Absolutely no Hand in
Gubernatorial Contest, Either
by Word or Deed.
Special TO The State.

Speclai TO Ihe SGaGe.
Trenton, July 29.-There appeared
in the Atlanta Constitution yesterday
telegram from Charleston saying that
in the gubernatorial race factional lines
were being drawn and that Senator
Tillman was using his influence in be-
half of Talbert and J. H. Tillman, as
against Heyward, whose candidacy
the dispatch Said, was not sanctioned
by Senator Tillnaan. -
Today your correspondent called on
Senator Tillman at his home here in
regard to the story in The Constitu-
tion. When he read the article, the
senator remared: "It is piece Of
newspaper work that is made when no
news can be found. It is the most
absurd thing I ever heard that Hey
ward should get a sanction to run for
governor. Any man is free to enter
the race and / have nothing to do
with it. It is the biggest piece of
foolishness Lever heard of.
The senator went On to say that the
old lines of demarkation of Tillman
and anti -Tillman had been obhter-
ated. Men were supporting him now,
who used to be antagonistic. Continu-
ing he said: 81 have gained more
friends than I have lost and in this
campaign no candidate will be voted
for or against by either Of the old fac
tions. + am only drawing lines when
see a Republican disguised as a
Democrat who has the impudence to
enter the Democratic primary
Continuing the senator said he had
nothing to say or do with any of the
candidates in their respective races.
This was positive and final.
San Francisco, July ga special
from Tucson, Ariz., says: Driven to
desperation by hunger and thirst, a
band of 80 Yaquis, nearly half of them
women, attacked the Carmen ranch
near, ,Hermoosillo Saturday and fierce
fight followed. When patrol of Mex
lean troops came to the rescue two of
the women and FIVE of the men lay
dead.

ANOTHER FIRE.
Destruction Of Old KeathIy Home
Narrow Escape of the inmates.

The heavy tones Of the fire bell, the
scretching of the locomotives, and the
idiotic shooting of guns and pistols,
awoke many of our citizens from their
peaceful slumbers. Monday morning at
l:3O o'clock, to find the red glare of
fire Illuminating the southern part
of the city. 1t was the burning of the
old keathly home, on South Washing
ton street, near DR.. Alleys residence
The fire companies responded AS
quickly AS possible, but the fire had
gained such Roadway as to render any
aid by water futile. But praise should be
given the boys for their ardent willing
ness to do all in their power. Nearly
500 feet of hose was unresled to reach
the burning house.
The keathly home was among the
Oldest landmarks, which are rapidly
disappearing. 1t was large ram
bling old.time house, situated in a
beautiful grove of silver-leafed pop
lars, and bad been neglected ever since
1878, on account OF several cases of
yellow fever occurring in it. Later is
was bought by Mr.. Tom Yerzley for hit
daughter, Mrs. n. G. Allen, of Brink
ley. whose husband had it thoroughly
repaired, making it at the time of the
fire one of the most pleasant domicles
in the city.
Mr. Allen is engaged in business in
Brinkley, and luckily he was at home
at the time of the fire. He told our
reporter that he was awakened at the
time, by the falling of the chimney in
the kitchen, and when he attempted to
open the door entering the room the
heat was so intense that it burned his
hand. He Immediately shut the door
and called to his wife that tie house
was afre. Hastily grabbing what
clothes were handy they rushed from
the house. So fierce and rapid was tie
flames, that before Mr. Allen could re.
enter, the whole building was ablaze.
He succeeded in saving only one trunk
and some pieces of bedding.
Fortunately, Mr.. Allen carried in
surance and his loss is not total. The
loss is estimated at $500, and the
insurance, $3.50 on the building and
$3.50 on furniture.
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen desire to express
their thanks 20 everybody. So many
homes were opened to them, and offers
of sympathy and aid, that in measure
made them forget their loss.
Mr.. Allen will rebuild immediately
modern cottage on the site of the old
home.
