county Chancery Court to enforce
the payment of certain rents alleged
TO be due and damages sustained by

tails for street lighting. 1t further
involves the validity of the bonds
issued by the street railway and asks
that the deed of trust made by the
Mississippi Valley Trust Company

complainant is concerned. The

contracts made some year or more
since, and familiarly known as tic

Mississippi State News


The East Mississippi Female Col
lege, the pride of the citizens of Me-
ridian and of the people of East
Mississippi, was completely de-
stroyed by fire last week. The fire
was discovered at $3.50 o'clock at
night, and the four hundred stu
dents and teachers of the college es-
capped without a single casualty,
their escape being due to the fact
that the fire originated in the col
lege laundry, about fifty yards to
the rear of the college proper. The
origin of the FIRE is unknown. Po-
lice officers who were attracted to
the scene by the rapid fire of pis-
tol aroused the inmates Of the col
lege.
A panic of the students was avert
ed only by the ealmness of these Of
fcers, who stopped the young ladies
at the front door and would not al
low them to leave the building until
they had discarded their night robes
for street attire.
When they had been assured that
the building was in no immediate
danger they did as requested, and
shortly thereafter the building was
cleared of sll the inmates with mil
itary decorum, and not a soul was
hurt.
Besides the college the handsome
two-story residence Of Mrs. L. J.
0rmond, on the northwest corner of
the block, was burned.
The loss 10 the college is estima>
ted at about $4,000. This amount
is covered by policies aggregating
$3.50. The 0rmond building was
valued at $4,000, and was insured
for $4,000. while the furnishings
we're covered by a policy of $4,000.
The individual loss of the president
and lessee Of the college, Prof. J.
W. Beeson, is estimated at $4,000.
This loss is covered by $2,750.
Thirty pianos, including 81 $50
grand, were destroyed.
This is one of the oldest female
colleges in Mississippi, being the
property of the Methodist Church.
Arrangements have been made for
continuing the present session, the
churches of the city having been
contributed as class rooms. The
trustees state that arrangements will
be begun at once for the erection of
handsome modern college in the
place of the burned one, and that it
will be ready for occupancy by the
opening of the next term.
