FIERCE FIRE AT M0ULTRIE.
Turpentine and CreOsOte Plant De-
strOyed.


Moultrie, Ga, July 1O.-The turpen-
tine and creosote plant at this place
was destroyed by fire last night. The
plant was new and cost 100000, all of
which was a total loss as there was
no insurance. The factory caught on
fire from the engine, during the short
absence of the superintendent. 1t soon
spread over the entire plant. Several
thousand gallons of turpentine, oil and
tar Were burned and the flames were
fierce AS the barrels exploded the
turpentine flowed down the hill side
and formed a perfect lake of fire.
The loss falls upon several business
men of Moultrie who had stock in the
company. They were well pleased with
the plant and will rebuild at once.
This was one of the most successful
plants for wood distilation of spirits
turpentine that has ever been put up,
and the stock was already far above

Big Dinner Served at the Hall
Today.

Exclusive of the sweet things, the
fruits and trimmings this is about
the sum total of the articles required
for the great dinner given this noon in
the Salvation Army hall:
Cabbage, 800 heads; Irish potatoes, 10
bushels; sweet potatoes, bushels;
cranberries, 100 quarts; butter. so

Ions of coffee; IS pumpkins made into
900 pies; 20 gallons of milk; 10 gallons
of buttermilk; So turkeys; so chickens;
200 pounds of meat
In the preparations for this dinner,
given at 312 Kansas avenue, J. E. Mss
ley and Police Matron Thorpe have
joined their efforts. It is the only
today but plans have been made for
feeding 1900 people. The Nissley
neWSboyS' dinner, which has been an
annual event for several years, has
been combined this Christmas with the
Salvation Army spread. Mrs. Thorpe,
who always attends to the distribution
of many of the good things which char
ity sees fit to give for those in less
comfortable circumstances, has also
thought best to unite her work with
the larger one. The result is that this
years spread is by far the largest that
has ever been given in Topeka.
The Salvation Army hall has been
very prettily decorated with evergreen.
and flags. Red, white and blue bunting
feStoons the walls. A new feature of
the entertainment is the music fur
monograph stands ready for service be-
tween the numbers of the programme
in which also Master Harold Parr Of
Chicago has several vocal solos.

SUIT AGAINST WATKINS.
Liverpool Paper Tells of Controversy
With Lawrence Man.

The Evening Express of Liverpool, Eng
land, of the date of December contained
the following, which refers to J. B. Wat
kins of Lawrence. Kan:
I'm the chancery division today Mr..
Justice Kekewich delivered judgment in
the case of the North American Land and
Timber company VS.. Watkins. This was
an action brought by the plaintiff com
pany to recover from the defendant, Mr..
Jabez Bunting Watkins, an American
gentleman. certain sums amounting in
the aggregate to &c, 600 pounds, which it
was alleged the defendant had made as
secret profit whilst acting as agent for
the company in the purchase of certain
tracts of land in America The plaintiffs
further asked for an account, and claimed
a lien upon all shares of the plaintiffs
company registered in the defendants
name.
1.-THE defense was a denial that the de-
PENDANT was in the transactions in ques
ton acting as agent for the company,
but that he was acting his own ac-
count, and as principal subsequently sold
to the company.
His lordship held that the defendant
was acting as agent for the company at
the time of the purchase of the land, and
granted an account and inquiry

C. W. McCurran, Animal Man,
Denies Lion Story.

C. w McCurran, the animal keeper
of the Sells-Downs circus, make an
emphatic denial of the charge that
stray dogs have been fed to the lions
in winter quarters at the Sells barn.
It's absolutely ridiculous" said Mr..
McCurran today. "a lion would not
touch a dog. They have to be fed the
very best kind of beef. Even all the
bones and gristle are taken out for
them. We get 100 pounds of fresh ami
NAL meat for the lions from Schmidt's
market every day, and feed it to them
about 1:30 in the afternoon. Nearly
every day there is a crowd of people in
there watching us feed the animals
We invite the fullest investigation
from the Humane society"
Mr.. McCurran has the receipted bills
from the meat men showing that he
had been getting 100 pounds of beef a
day. There is probably no-founda-
ton for the charges filed with the HUI
name society. Mr.. McCurran has been
in the animal business for fifteen years,
having served with Ringing. Fore
paugh, and all the big shows.

SHOT THROUGH BACK.
Arnie Mitchell, Negro Charac-
ter, Fatally Wounded.

"Arnie" Mitchell, colored, who is a
police court character, received a
Christmas present this morning which
will probably cost him his life. He was
shot twice, one in the back near the
kidney and once in the right arm, by
George Wells, another negro. The men
were carrousing at the shanty occu-
pied by "HaytT' Weatherly, where a
key of beer was on tap. When the<po-
lice were called half an hour later,
Mitchell was found in his house on the
river bank on North Topeka avenue.
He was suffering greatly from his in
juries, and had sent three different
negroes after a doctor.
In response to a call from the police
DR.. Keith came to attend Mitchell. and
the wagon load of officers went up in
the sand hills of Redmondville and cap
tured Wells, who was at his mother S
house. Wells says that he fired in self
defense, and that Mitchell was after
him with a pocket knife. DR.. Keith
had the injured man removed to Christ
hospital, and announced that he would
die of his wounds.
A dozen grateful women, among them
a bed-ridden invalid, and children upon
whom the events of the terror-stricken
night of May 20. when the flood rose in
North Topeka, are fndelibly impressed,
remember that it was a young cOlored
man who carried them through the rap
idly rising water to the patrol wagon
in which they were hauled to safety
That was Arnie Mitchell. At that time
he was a trusty prisoner at the city
prison. Mitchell was permitted to ride
to North Topeka with the police officers
and for 4S hours toiled with them. He
was with the wagon until its last trip
and did as much work or more thar
any policeman in the company of res
cuers. Fear did not appear to have
any part in his consideration and, as
the work was at that time done by
HiT7cr nd :
ually the first to venture into places
where the depth was not known. His
fearless conduct received much COM
mendation at the time.

LABELED CHAIR TONIC"
Wife of Moonshiner Sends Whisky
to q Convict.

-Leavenworth, Kan, Dec. 25.-While
sorting out the mail the penitentiary
warden came across a large box and as
it is customary to do So he examined
the contents to see if it would be right
to let the prisoner have it. He started
to get the string off the box and there
was so much wrapped around it that it
took him nearly five minutes to remove
it.
Upon lifting the cover from the box
he discovered a bottle neatly wrapped
up in tissue paper.
The bottle which was a large one,
had a label on it which read: Hair To-
nic'' Being very suspicious of the con-
tents he opened it up and what was
his surprise when he discovered that it
contained whisky He marked the
package mot permitted and sent it
to the deputy warden who disposed of
it. 1t is ascertained that the prisoner
to whom the whisky was sent was a
former moonshiner and that the pack
age was sent here by his wife.
