GLASGOW Feb. 16.-The Lysteri-
Gus burning of several cut build
ings at the residence of Mrs. Nj.
d. McCorkle has caused intense
excitement here among both white
and black people. On Tuesday
afternoon, Feb. 9th, at five o'clock
the stable was discovered to be in
flames. In a few minutes n large
crowd assembled but the fire was
entirely beyond control as they
directed their efforts to saving the
house from the fire brands which
were being blown in every direc-
ton. The stable contained five
tons of hay, all of which was
burned. The fire was thought to
be of an incendiary origin, but no
positive clue could be gained. The
house has been closed for several
months, Mrs. McCorkle and
family being absent. On Thurs
day afternoon, about four O'Clock
the barn was burned in the same
mysterious manner. This time
the loss was greater, as the barn
contained large amount of hay
and millet besides farming imple-
ment. Nothing was saved. The
two buildings being burned at 80
nearly the same time of day and
within two days of each other
caused every one to suspect =

colored man, and a small boy were
arrested and taken to Lexington
Jail Sunday morning. The boy
was brought back here Monday
morning for trial, but no evidence
of any Importance could be gained
from him. He claims to be entire
Ily ignorant of the whole affair ;
either he is innocent or else well
posted as to what to divulge. He
is an unusually bright child and
perfectly capable of playing any
part. He was taken back to jail
yesterday evening.
Much sympathy is felt for Mrs
McCorkle who is yet ignorant OF
her loss, being quite sick at TIT

district trustees Lexington, Prof.
D. C. Humphreys; Central, W. R.

Walkers Creek, j. S. Gibson.
The object of the meeting was
stated by DR.. Johnston to be
the appointment of a committee
consisting of three district trustees
and three teachers who should
recommend to the State Board of
Education for adoption a multiple
list of not less than two nor more
than four series of textbooks in
each of the subjects taught in the
public schools of Virginia below
the high school grade, and in addi-
tion shall recommend list of
textbooks for high schools. The
following committee was appoint
ed : Messrs. G. w. Efiinger, ID. G.

trustees, ru. drs. NJ. S. Moffett,
Mr.. j. II. Is. Jones, and Miss Eliza

1t will be recalled that the State
Board of Education is charged
with the selection of text books
for the public schools of the State
for ths next four years. There
has been much discussion as to the
best way of doing this work. Some
prominent educators claim that q
multiple list will give the best re-
suits, while others, and equally
as capable, declare that the single
list has many advantages, besides
being cheaper. Senator Keezell
of Rockingham, has introduced a
bill in theLegislature favoring the
single textbook list.

A THOROUGH CANVASS
OFFICIALS SEEKING NAMES OF
SLoCUM PASSENGERS.
Only One Body Recovered Last Night
Capt. Van Schaick in Court
on a Stretcher.

NEW YORK, June 23.-The canvass to
determine as nearly as possible the exact
number of persons that lost their lives in
the General SlOcum disaster will be even
more thorough than at first intended. Not
only Will every home in the great city
which Is thought to have been directly af-
fected by the disaster be visited by the spe-
cial detail of patrolmen. but the investiga-
ton will be extended to other cities and
towns as well. From various points along
Long Island and from cities and towns in
the state of Pennsylvania have come re-
ports that persons believed to have gone on
the Inflated excursion are missing. Where
1t is possible these places will be visited
by the New York investigators but in many
cases the local police will be, or already
have been, requested to assist in the work.
1t is estimated that week or more will be
required to complete the canvass and COM
pile the final list of dead missing and
saved.
Last nights searching for bodies of VIC
tins was more barren of results and less
eventful than has been the case during any
night since the burning of the steamer.
The alertness and vigil of the searchers
was unrelaxed, but only one body was
taken from the river during the night
When the inquest was resumed today
Policeman James Collins said he was at
College Point and 18th street, when he
saw the Slocum coming up the river all
afire forward. He notified the fire depart
ment, and with another policeman, Farrell,
he got a yawl and rowed over to North
Brother Island. where the Slocum was then
beached. They made three trips and took
fifty burning women and children from the
paddle boxes and picked up sixteen dead
bodies. He saw many life preservers float
ing and lot of cork floating. but none OF
the persons picked up wore life preservers.
As Herbert c. Farrell. the policeman who
was with Collins, took the stand to corrob-
crate Collins story. Capt. Van Schaick was
brought in on a stretcher.
