FIRE ON BAY STREET
HAD SERIOUS LOOK.
Prompt and Good Work of Firemen
Saved Business Block.

Saved Business Block.
The fire which brought out the fire.
men few minutes before o'clock
yesterday morning looked very serious
for a while. The flames were issuing
from a four-story brick block on the
river front near Jefferson street, and
from the volumes of smoke also aris-
ing and apparently streaming from
windows and vents in adjacent build
ings it looked as though things were
going to be very disastrous.
The call from box was sent in by
Policeman Reisen and steamers Nos.
l, and 3 and the chemical engine re-
sponded.
Assistant Superintendent Mouro ar
rived on the spot with the apparatus
and the situation appearing critical,
at once sent in a general alarm, which
brought up steamers and 5. The fire
was found to be raging in the second
story of the building occupied as a
warehouse by H. Solomon & Son. 1t
was amongst a lot of bales of packing
and straw and made a fierce heat. but
the firemen rushed in and succeeded
In throwing out a quantity of the
stuff, at the same time deluging the
flames with water.
After a short fight the fire was sub
dued, having only burned through the
floor and up the side walls, to the roof
and through the scuttle. The dam
ages to the building were not very
heavy and the stock was probably not
greatly damaged The lower story OF
the building was occupied by ]. E
Leonard, as a junk warehouse and the
stock was hurt to some extent by
water. The third and fourth floors OF
the building were filled with light tin
ware, woodenware and groceries. and
would have made splendid fuel if the
FIRE had attained a little more head
way before being discovered.

broken. The spell of dry wealth
er which has lasted for many
weeks and which has done untold
injury in retarding the growth

rainfall which was general to
this section. For several days
preceding there were strong in
dicatiOns Of rain. 1t had been
cloudy for several days with
slight showers but they were not
heavy or general enough to be
regarded as drouth breakers.
The downpour came on Monday
night and it continued until Tues
day morning and lasted through
yesterday From all sections of
the county comes the reports
that rain has fallen and the con
sequent improvement to the crop

Not Sold YET.

The stockholders of the Tom
bigbee Mills met last Monday
afternoon and elected the officers
and directors below. The fact that
another permanent organization
has been effected is taken to
mean that there is no immediate
prospect of the Southern cotton
mill merger being effected. The
Tom bigbee Mills is one of the
many which was included in this
movement but the sale has not
been effected. President Burris
was seen by a DISPATCH reporter
Monday afternoon and stated as
much to him and stated that there
was still a probability that sale
would be made. It is dependent
upon the merger movement sue
ceeding. however, and President
Burris was not in a position to
give information in this matter.
The officers elected are: IT. O.
Burris, president; T. b. Franklin,
vice president; Ben n. Love, sec
rotary. The directors are L. B.
Franklin, E. T. Moore, T. o. Bur

Yarn Mill Wanted.

One of the objects of the Citi-
zens' League is to direct atten-
ton to and develop sentiment
and enlist capital in enterprises
which will pay In this connec-
ton a yarn mill is now being
talked of, discussed and agitated.
What has given an impetus to
the movement is the great de-
mand for yarns all over the coun-
try, the fine prices they are
bringing as well as the local de
mand for same. The knitting
mill and comfort factory both
use yarns in large amounts and
a mill here would find, not only
foreign but local demand for its
product.
Sixty thousad dollars will build
a handsome mill and this amount
taken from the idle capital in the
banks here would soon be earn
ing fine dividend if employed
in such an enterprise. Column

Jumped From Second Story Window

jim Hooker, who has been port
er for Mr.. Joe DonOghue for sew
eraI months past, jumped from
the second story window of the
store at which he worked, in an
effort to escape from Officers
Munger and Hudson Monday af-
ternoon. Hooker had long been
suspected of stealing 500 from
the bookkeeper, Mr.. Ledyard
Vaughan, about Chris IN S.
Monday afternoon Officers Mung-
er and Hudson called on Hooker
and put him through a thorough
examination. Things were grow
ing too warm for him so he
thought best to leave by the
quickest route. In his tumble
he badly wrenched a leg but was
able to run to the rear Of the
Com mercial Hotel before he was
caught. Hooker IS now in JUL

The A. and M. Sensation.

An echo of the A. and NJ. Col
lege sensation in the tarring and
feathering of a Mexican student
named Hinojosa at that institu-
ton about ten days ago for peep
ing comes to this city in the an
nouncement that some fifteen or
more students of the College have
departed for their homes. The
affair was about to blow over
with the determination Of the
College authorities to make the
offending boys atone for their
mischief by suffering the penal
ties incident to College life, when
a deputy sheriff appeared upon
the scene seeking information
for the grand jury and then it
was that the students decided to
go home. Whether they have
written fnis to their collegiate
courses at the A. and NJ. or are
merely enjoying the fishing said
to be so good during the grand
jury sessions we are not able to
say.
Hinojosa was treated to a rough
house at the A. and NJ, and had
not Commandant Sessums start
ed him to the land of Greasers
when he did there is no telling
what would have happened. Hin
Oiosa was whipped Friday night,
so the story goes, tarred and
feathered Saturday night and on
Sunday night would have been
summarily dealt with if he had
not left the institution.
1t is said there is no incident
or episode, however tragic or
that is not relieved by
some humorous or ludricOus side
of the situation. The Hinojosa
affair has its amusing feature.
On the Saturday night in which
he was tarred and feathered he
was missed until the following

When dawn came
the first object which greeted |
his sight was a form in cadet I'M

The Com mandant thought it was

his relief did not come until the !
form was lowered and it proved |
to be Hinojosa in effigy.

College now, the boys are pre-
