Tho II enrico COW situatio has resoiVNc
itself most perplexedlY. 1t VII be re
called that Constable Cyclone samuels
after varied experience, succeeded .t II
,evyins on three cows and bringing them
to the courthouse But. the next "a y TIC
owner claimed them under tho home
stead exemption, and came to the COURT
house aid despite the protests q the
cyclone, took The animals back home. =
quiet Investigation was conducted, and ~
was ascertained that the owner OF sthe
,ows at a date long previous had waived
the homestead exemption. The triumphant
constable got another wa rant and start
ed back after the COWS, but thoughts oi
his former wild and turbulent experience
dampered his JOY and made him feei
rather blue, nevertheless. What was his
surprise when he reached the house to
learn that the COW owner had once been
an overseer for his sister or something
and was receiving him in tho most COR
dial manner. The constable got a good
dinner and was ta ppy. And his friend
agreed to meet tho demands Upon him
and will himself bring the cows to the
courthouse.
Twelve small frame houses on Deneen
Street, near tho Hermitage road were
Destroyed by fire about A. NJ. yesterday.
The dwellings were occupied by negroes.
The loss is about 81, 500, not including the
personal property DESTROYED. ii
About o'clock Sunday morning, Mr.,
John Miller and family. Of East Rich
mond, were aroused by cries OF fire. and
in less time than It takes TO tell, were
out OF doors to find q fire that wa $
making rapid progress. All horses and
cattle In danger were turned loose. BY
this time many citizens had arrived, and
by heroic work saved tho home and other
buildings. AS 1t Is, the loss was great. s
quantities or feed were consumed, besides
three buildings-the sllo, grainary
carriage house. he latter contained waltz
and carriage house. The latter con-
taincd valuable family carriages. i'm
pigments, etc Had It not been
water the loss would have been much
greater. There is not the slightest clue
as to the originof tho fire. but It is
thought to have been OF inccndiary
origin. The loss Is partly covered by
Insurance.
