Gold Bonds.

On payment OF $4,000 the family OF
John r.. Thomas. architect and builder,
gets 100000 from the Equitable Life As
surance Society. The family decided to
take S., 900 year for twenty years and
then 100000, rather than $4,000 in a
lump sum now. Mr.. Thomas died on
August o. Twelve years ago he took
out q $4,000 policy in the Equitable.
Last year he took 100000 more in the
shape of a FIVE per cent gold bond, on
which he had to pay $4,000 premium.
The Society offered the family $4,000
cash in gold, or the $4,000 a year and
100000 additional at the end OF twenty
years The family chose the latter
option.

weights, five yards and lighter. Fair ex-
port bidding for heavy weights. Demand

COTTON.
New York, Feb 25.--The cotton market
opened steady with prices unchanged to
Q points lower and then turned weak I'M
der very active covering by the more
timid longs and under brisk short swing
by room operators. Heaviness in the
Liverpool market and large port receipts
were the factors which most depressed
the early market. The first scramble to
sell sent May down to 1886 and July to
S34 around which level conservative bears
turned for cover and some OF the more
thoughtful room traders bought on the re-
action the ordinary A rally to $40 brought
in commission buying and started general
covering. The Southern spot market adj
vices did not reflect any particular weak
ness and reports from cotton goods and
dry goods centres told os exceptionally
good demand at very profitable prices.
AS the session wore along the trade lost
Q goodly portion of its bearish convictions
and became fearful pest, after ALL the
March option should go out at the top and
that all notices be promptly taken up. Tie
close was steady with prices ne: un-
changed to , points higher. May closing

1T WAS A MISTAKE.
Reported Capture of Elihu Wisdom in
Lewis County.

Lewis County.
A report was sent out from Mt.
Pleasant Tuesday. and published in one
Of the Nashville papers, that Elihu
Wisdom, who KILLED Rev. A. j. Brooks,
had been captured at Hohenwald,
Lewis county, and carried to the Jail
at Columbia.
The report, however. proved to be a
mistake, as message received after
wards from Hohenwald states that
officers Harder and Harris had reached
that place after search in Wayne
county, but had failed to. find Wisdom.
The message further says that the
officers think he is somewhere on the
Tennnesseee River endeavoring to catch
q boat for Pineville, where he can get
to the railroad. They say his relatives
in Wayne county have been hiding
Wisdom and keeping spies out to give
warning of the approach of officers.
Sheriff Hight stated yesterday that
le had received no word from Mr..
Harder.

Special to the Herald.
Nashville, January AT noon to-
day fire was discovered in the Vendomt
Theater. The flames spread with light
ming like rapidity and it was soon seen
that the large building was doomed to
entire destruction. All of the engines
in the city have been called to fight
the fire.
At this hour o'clock-the flames
are still not under control.
The interior of the theatre up to the
box Office is complete wreck, and the
roof has fallen in.
LATER.
Nashville, January al 80 p. m.--
The Vendome theatre has been entirely
destroyed, and Watkins Institute and
Howard Library are threatened. The
relics and documents Of the
Tennessee Historical Society have
been removed, and are in places of
safety.
The fire originated from live cleo
trio wire in the Vendome, which
caught the awning in the ceiling.
AT this time it is impossible to esti-
mate the losses or give the amount of
insurance carried.
The fire is still raging furiousyl, but
is being gotten under control.
