NEGRO ACCUSED OF ARSON.
Charged With Having Set Fire to sa-
loon Building on First Avenue.

John McAllister, a negro, who is
thought to be crazy, was last night
arrested on a charge of arson. He is
accused of setting fire to the old brick
saloon at the corner of Twenty-fourth
street and First avenue last night
about 7 o'clock
The negro was caught in the act, so
IL is said, and was captured by the
firemen after they got to the fire. They
loaded him on one of the pieces of
apparatus and carried him back to
police headquarters, where he was
turned over to Policemen Mcmillan
and Elledge.
The negro is said to have piled up
paper in the rear of the store and set
it on fire. The place was filled with
smoke when the department arrived,
but there was very little fire. The
building is not occupied now, although
it was used for a saloon for a long
time. 1t is one-story brick

spoiled ut the lake a few days ago. Ii
WAS Il case of good intentions with
purposes. The host, Il prominent
Hallowcll citizen, and the owner of Il
pretty naphtha launch was to entertain
Augusta friends. For years Il trip of
this sort around the lake had been
spoken of and the joy of long cOntem-
platiOn was now to give place to the
real pleasure of cruising by virtue of
an ostcnsible misunderstanding as to
the day and hour of meeting. The host
steamed" up the lake from the Outlet,
early in the morning and fastened his
"paintcr' to the float at Hotel Pines.
Minutes grew into hours but the com
pany" failed to appear, and after sew
cral hours Of waiting, he returned
home. 1t seems that the Augusta party
came out on the clectricS carly, and i'm
mediatcly repaired to the float ut Ham
mond's, where they, too, waited for
hours. and finally abandoned the idea
of Il sail and made an excursion to Win
throp hy rail. Moral: Make your plans
