NEGRO RESCUES
 GIRL FROM DEATH
John Freeman In opelIka Rescues Lit tie Daughter of MT. and Mrs.
 |. l. Ingram.

Opelika, August s.--(Special)-A negro named John Freeman proved a hero yes terday afternoon when he rescued from a dray little Susie Ingram, the 5 or 6-year- old daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. J. In gram.
 MT. Ingram, the father of this beautiful little girl, is a prominent wholesale groc- eryman, being member of the Opelika Grocery company of this city.
 When the dray was at the home of his brother-in-law, s. R. Williams, to de- liver goods, while the drayman was in the house. several children jumped on the back of the dray, whereupon the spir- ited mules became frightened and began to run. The little boys brother and cousin of the little girl Jumped off, but wonder full to say, little Susie held on. On the mules sped turning corner after corner, and several gentlemen made great efforts to stop the infuriated animals, without success. When the dray passed the In- gram home the mother of the little girl saw the scene and began screaming. On a good distance past the house this ne- gro, John Freeman, g. carpenter, In "a miraculous manner sprang upon the dray and grabbed the little girl and got off just as the mules ran into i,ome trees and smashed up things generally. Little Susie was soon in her mothers arms after one of the narrowest escapes from sudden death.

VIRGINIA REGIMENT IS
 DOWN ON GEN. BUTTE

and at one time 1t looked as If there would be a personal difficulty between General Butler and some officers of the Virginia troops.
 The Culpepper Enterprise of today con- tains a card signed by a Spanish-Ameri- can Veteran in which he says: The Gull pepper minute men, an organization that has been preserved since the Revolution, will not accept the invitation to attend the reunion at Brandy on the 9th if Gen eral Butler, who caused the arrest and otherwise traduced and vilified the Third Virginia regiment while at Camp Alger in 1898, is present as an invited guest. Vir- ginia soldiers will not mix with any man who tried to traduce the honor of Vir- ginia regiment. The members of the old Third have not forgotten old Butler and the veterans of the Third Virginia con gratulate the minute men upon their re- fnsal to be present under the eircum- stances"
 A large attendance of the Blue and the Grey is expected at the Brandy reunion, but if General Butler hears that the Gull pepper minute men are still so resentful he may not enjoy meeting his old com rades as much as if the above card had not been hurled at him.

PATERSON'S MAYOR
 GETS TWELVE YEARS
WILLIAM H. BELCHER ENTERS A PLEA FOR cLEMENCY ON THE
 CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT,
 BUT THE COURT DECLINES IT.

Paterson, N. J., August 3.-William H. Belcher, who while Mayor of this city absconded a year ago and who surren- dered himself on Monday last, was sen tenced today to twelve years imprison- ment in the state prison at Trenton on a charge of embezziement.
 Belcher disappeared from this city about a year ago. while he was Mayor. He was alleged to have embedded from $1oO,- GOO to s15O,ooO from personal friends and from the Manchester Building and Loan association which was forced to suspend business. No trace of the missing man was discovered by the authorities until he appeared at the county jail Monday night and voluntarily surrendered. He had only SIT in his possession and declared he had suffered great hardship during his ab- sence.
 The court room in which Belcher was sentenced today was crowded with his former friends and political associates, some of whom had suffered by his en- bezzlements There was no taking of evi- dence Six indictments each alleging en- bezzlement, were read and counsel for Belcher entered a plea for clemency and believed Belchers surrender was ground for mitigating circumstances.
 Justice Scott, in his review of the case. said Belcher's speculations had left some of his victims penniless, and that he saw no reason for exercising clemency. Sem tence was then imposed.

Fine Works of Art Burn at
 Big Exposition
GREAT BUILDINGS SUCcUMB
The confagration Broke Out Early In the Morning In the Center of the Most Active Portion of
 the Exposition.

Milan, Italy August S.-Fire which broke out here this morning in the Inter- national exposition did extensive damage. The sections destroyed are the decorative arts of Italy and Hungary, which were totally destroyed, as also was the pa- vilion in which were installed the ex- hibits of Italian and Hungarian architec- ture.
 Several fremen and carbineers were in- jured.
 The fire was first discovered at O clock this morning in the Hungarian section, and spread rapidly to the art sections sit uated in an adjoining park. For a time the British, Japanese and The Neither lands sections were threatened, but by energetic work the hremen succeeded in saving them The jewery and fine arts sections also were threatened but large force of carbineers carried the pictures. many of them of almost priceless value, from the gallery of fine arts into the cor riders of sections beyond the fire zone.
 Great Excitement In City.
 The city was thrown into a state of great excitement. and vast crowds of people collected about the exposition Tho firemen, however, succeeded in saving all except the Italian and Hungarian sections though dangerous sparks fell on the Ger man. Persian. Turkish and Chinese sec tions. At noon the fire was considered to be under control.
 In Center of Exposition
 The scene of the conhagratlon was the center of the most active portion of the exposition. The palace of decorative arts. covering isooo square yards and con taining 4o00 exhibits, is a rnass af ruins. The building was lightly constructed of wood and iron and was highly decorated with towers and handsome entrances. The exhibits, chiefly fine examples of furni- ture, hangings, household goods and clothing are total loss.
 The architectural pavilion. which was also destroyed, contained many exhibits of historic value, including the original model of the dome of the Cathedral of Milan. many original documents referring to Milan's famous scientist, Volta, relat- ing to Voltaic electricity. and numerous documents referring to Napoleon II. The fine arts pavilion was saved, many fine paintings were damaged, being splashed by mud and water. while the 1remen were hastily carrying them to places of safety.
 Owing to the value of some of the ex- hibits destroyed, the loss is now estl- mated at S2,0O0,0O0 to s3,0O00o0. The build ing losses are confined entirely to struc- lures within the park.
 The Edison companys statement that the electric current was cut off last night has caused the authorities to investigate the reports that disgruntled employees who were recently discharged from positions as night watchmen, are responsible for the fire.

MEN WERE TAKEN UNAWARES
Wallcways at sveaborg Are strewn With Fragments of shrapneI, Chain shot and Shells-Two Officers
 Among the Mutineers.

Helsingfors. August S.-(di 30 p. m.)-rhe was permitted today to look over the fortress on the main island, as well all the other fortifcations overlooking the town, although the officials who compiled with hls request were careful not to allow him to see the guns.
 The scenes proved the truth of the statements previously cabled that tho mutineers had the upperhand in practi- cally all the ports until the arrival of the warships.
 Bristle With Machine Guns.
 Escorted by an officer the correspondent was shown all the minor barracks and fortifications and the wharf and neigh boring quays. which bristled with ma chine guns Flagstaffs had been splinter ed as if the mutineers had tried to shoot away the Russian colors. The most se- were fire from the fortress was directed on the headauarters of the commander who on the second day of the trouble was forced to seek shelter in better pro- tected place.
 The barracks in the vicinity showed plainly the effects of the fighting. They are today nothing more than tottering ruins, upheld by iron girders- The church in which hangs the memorials of the French and English bombardment of 1855 was struck several times, but 1t is evil dent that the mutineers did not wish to destroy the building in spite of the fact that none of It's windows remain whole.
 WaIIways Uttered With Shells.
 Results of the firing were seen on every hand fraEnients of shrapnel. chainshot and shells littering all the walkways. The fortress itself bore many signs of the bonibardment great rents in the walis' holes In the roofs and destroyed windows telling their own tales The correspon- dent was not permitted to examine in de- tail the fortifcations held by the repeis'
 There is no question that until the war ships came up the government was power less adequately to reply to the mutineers' and was simply able to hold it's position
 MutIneers Taken Unawares.
 The commander had scarcely fled from his headquarters, leaving them heap or fallen ruins when the warships erept mn inc coast and opened fire. Taken unawares, without leaders, and with put little food the mutineers gave up.
