MendenhaIl vs.. NeslYlIIe.

The Simpson County Court
house removal case, which in
wolves the removal Of the court
house from Westyille to Menden-
hall, was argued this morning in.
the library of the Capitol before
Chancellor Robert Mayes, by
Alexander & Alexander, and G.
III. Whitworth, representing the
town of MendenhalI and the Board
of Supervisors Of Simpson coun-
ty, and by r. N. Miller, and Wat
Kins x Easterling, representing
the town Of Westville. This is
one of the most unique cases ever
brought in the courts. Before
the Gulf and Ship Island Road
was built, WestYille was the coun-
ty seat of Simpson, and there the
tribunal of justice met and the
county laws were administer ed.
When the railroad was construct
ed it passed Westville several
miles to the east. running through
the town of Mendenhall. Inme-
diateIy there sprang up a senti-
ment to remove the county seat to
the railroad, an election was held
and the courthouse was ordered
removed to Mendenhall. There
we're .rumors one day that an in
junction would be gotten out by
citizens representing Westville to
prevent the courthouse from be
ing changed, but the Board of Su-
pervisors was waly, and that eve
ming the people of Simpson coun-
ty saw the county seat, the re-
cords of the court, official docu-
meats, etc., being transported in
OK carts from Westville to Men
denhall, the new court seat.
There it has remained for the last
three years, and litigation has
been going on all the while. The
case has been to the Supreme
Court once on demurrer, and
will doubtless be appealed after
Chancellor Mayes renders his de-
cision, the losing side carrying
the case to higher tribunal. This
will be its last journey through
the courts. The principal ques-
ton involved is whether Menden-
hall is nearer the center of the
county than Wesvtille. Plea

Fire JeOpardizes the Democrat Star.
Pascagoula, Miss, July 90.
Last night at $3.50 O'Clock the liy-
cry stable Of James G.. Blackwell,
near the louisville and Nashville
Depot, caught fire, and in few
minutes it was mass of flames,
endangering the whole business
section south of the railroad.
While the FIRE was at its worst the
supply of water gave out, and for
a while it seemed that this neigh
borhood was doomed, but the de-
ficiency was corrected and the fire
was soon brought under way.
This happy issue was due mainly
to the efforts of the Scranton Fire.
Company No. 1, and Lake Avenue
Fire Company. While the fire
was in progress some sheds back
of the Democrat Star printing
office were ignited, and it seemed
for a moment that the establish
ment would go, but the flames
we're arrested. Captain r. X.
Mayersv the venerable editor of
that paper, was so pleased with
the work Of the firemen that he
.called in the foreman this morn
ing and gave the Company the
sum Of $40 as a mark of his APP
recitation. How the fire started
no one knows, but this morning
there was found in the burning
ruins the charred remains Of
Frank Anderson, a negro boy Of
about 10 years of age, who was
employed about the stable. 1t is.
stated that Anderson was asleep
in the bay and when the fire start
cd he was aroused and brought
out of the stable, but being half
asleep and in a dazed condition it.
is thought that he ran back into
the fire, and he was not seen again
until his body was found. Near
the body of the unfortunate boy
was found the burned body of a
horse that had also been cremated.
The building belonged to the w.
L. Frederick estate, and was not
insured. Mr.. Blackwell, the pro-
prietor of the stable, estimates his
loss at S., 900. This forenoon the
Hon. A. D. Krebs, acting Coro-
ner, held an inquest over the
body of Anderson, and the Jury
rendered verdict that he came to
his death By accidental burning.
