here prior to the fire and in whose

was arrested on last Wednesday on
the charge of arson. The preliminary
hearing was held on Friday and the
case against Boyer was dismissed by
the Magistrate on the ground Of lack
of evidence sufficient to warrant the
case being sent to the higher court.
Col. P. H Nelson represented Boyer
and detective Holloway and Solicitor
Geo. Bell Zimmerman were the
prosecutors. This case has created
unusual interest here and all kind OF
reports have been circulated, 80 much
so that detective Holloway, assisted
by the Solicitor, has gotten addi-
tional evidence and had Boyer re-
arrested on the same charge. It is
very likely that the preliminary hear
ing will be before Magistrate at
Lexington. Sheriff Corley took pos
session of Boyer on Saturday night

Cornerstone Laying.

To the Brethren of Boylston Lodge
No. 123:
I had the pleasure of representing
our Lodge at the laying of the cor
nerstone of the Columbia College
yesterday afternoon. The ceremony
wss performed by Grand Master
John R. Bellinger, after which he
made short address and dealt
chiefly with the scope and power of
Masonry and it's abundant emb,a e
of creeds. He also brought out that
the Masonic rite of laying the corner
stone could serve no nobier purpose
than when it dedicated q building TO
education, and through this to the
knowledge of God.
The interesting part of the cere.
mony was when Grand Master Bel.
linger handed to Miss Martha Hyatt
the silver trowel which was used in
laying the stone. This was given
by Mr.. F. 81. Hyatt, one of the
donors to the college, and it will be-
come the property of the board Of
trustees. Yours fraternally,

Ashes a More Beautiful Town.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Since the disastrous fire which
swept out the greater portion OF our
town on the night of March 4th, our
people, though having sustained a
severe loss, have not lost faith in the
advancement of Brookland's interest
by remaining silent waiting for some
thing to turn up, but those who were
80 unfortunate as to lose have en-
tered with q spirit of progress by
planning and rebuilding ss rapidly as
possible. The entire burnt district
will be rebuilt, and when done, the
town will be more beautiful than
ever.
r F. Williams is having erected a
two story brick building, which,
when completed, will contain three
large stores and a spacious hall
above to be occupied by the various
secret orders here.
DR.. F. l. Sapdel has about COM
pleted three stores erected of brick.
This building is one story, but makes
q pretty appearance.
A two story brick building will be
erected on the corner of State and
Centre streets. This building will
be owned by DR.. Sandel and occu-
pied as store on first story and a
dwelling above.
R. F. and D. K. Sox have each re-
built frame stores and are now con.
Quoting their business as usual.
Shuler & Lybrsnd were the first
to rebuild their warehouse and their

taken them.
The Duck Mills company will re-
build their tenant houses on State
street of brick. This will add con
siderably to the appearance of the
town and makes the risk of fire or
the principal street less hazardous.
| A.'D. Shull has given out the con
tract for ten five room cottages to b.
erected on Meeting street.
Everything is on the go here, and
soon our town will be in better SHAPE
and more beautiful than before tn
great fire.
The Duck Mill company is nov
planning for system of water work
in their village. Everybody whs
owns property here are somewha
interested in this enterprise and ar
willing to contribute largely in orde
to get some benefit in case of fire.
DR.. Frank Geiger has about com
pleted his beautiful home. This i

CAPTAIN Richmond Pearson ITobson,
who was entitled to a better fame than
that given him by reckless newspaper
photographers and funny space writer's,
has at last been married. Here's hoping
he may be at least forgotten. 1t is the
best thing we can wish for one who has
been robbed of every renown except that
OF being the kissee of silly women.-Er.
1t is human nature for poor, frail
humanity to exhibit envy when one of
their number is highly honored, and it
is not, therefore, surprising the unpar.
