Lumherman Killed.

Andrew Hudson, aged about 25 years. member of the Baymen's Benevolent Association. was almost instantly killed at o'clock this afternoon in the hold of the steamship Ursilla Bright at Three Mile Creek. while engaged in loading timber into the vessel. A huge stick of timber was being lowered into the hold. the timber slipped from the sling, struck Hudson on the right arm and shoulder, breaking the arm and hurling him against other timber already in place in the hold. He struck with his forehead. and so severe was the force of the blow, that his neck was broken. He was immediately placed on a tug and brought to the city. He lived about twenty minutes He has relatives in Brooklyn and Bal with.

from the slaughter house. They are also fed decomposed and decomposing meat. At one of these places we saw one of these anifals belly deep in his cess pool filthy beyond description and absolutely in motion from the myriads of maggots. The cess pool was just outside the door of the slaughter room and her hogship was contentedly eat ing these choice articles of diet that came from the room during the process of dressing the carcass.
 We also inspected the market house and have no fault whatever to find with with its construction, hut we find the floor and stalls not kept as clean as they should be. We are informed that the floor has not been washed in a month and from the amount of dirt we did not oetibt the statement/ The req son given for this was that the hose was worn out and the city had not pro. vided another.
 The Market Clerk admitted that the place should be better cleaned, but said that as the city only allows $2.50 per month for Its cleaning that it was simply impossible to do any better.
 We noticed with much regret that the market houses were fairly alive with flies which in some instances ab- solutely cover the meat. As flies are great carriers of disease it can not be expected that this meat should he the most wholesome after having served free lunch every day to several million flies In justice to the market clerk we desire to say that he is doing his very best with the limited means a, his disposal.
 .Wn recommend, first, the urgent necessity for a meat inspector. SeconS that a union slaughter pen be built at once. Third, that the market house be properly screened. Fourth. that tht floors and stalls ho thoroughly washed once per day"

FIRE IN CARBON HILL.
Two Persons Overcome While Fight
 inR the Flames.


 Carbon Hill, June 22.--(Special. )- Fire broke out in the residence portion of Carbon Hill shortly after 12 o'clock today and swept five houses to the ground. The fire originated in a negro house and Is supposed to have been started by negro boys who were playing with some matches.
 A gentle breeze blowing gave vitali- ty to the flames and 1t was soon seen that little could be done to remove the contents of the houses. By the heroic efforts of a large part of the male population of the town, and at the risk of their lives, the big two story house on the corner. owned by J. S. Hannon. was saved. Hannon was the principal sufferer from the fire as three of the houses burned belonged to him. The total loss was something over $s,O0O. being only partly insured.
 Joe woods and a negro became over heated in their efforts to subdue the fire and are now in a right serious condition though 1t Is not thought that the injury sustained by either will prove fatal

 It is believed that one of the largest nneteors that ever fell has been discov- cred near Selma. The rock has been for years lying in old field just north of this city which was bought some years ago by Robert Coleman from Ernest Fields
 About month ago John W. Coleman brother of Robert Coleman. who Is making his home here. and friend, were walking over the field when they passed by the rock. T told a negro's said Mir. Coleman. ito roll that rock down in the gulley wonder. wonder why in the world he has nqt done 1t.
 The other brother was attracted by the appearance of the rock and having held a position for a number of years in the National Museum at washing ion. he expressed the belief that the rock was a meteorite. About three or four years ago John Coleman had come to Selma and secured meteorite that fell near this city and his researches had acquainted him with their lorna tion.
 MT. Coleman took his pocket knife and chipped of a piece of the rock and sent the sample to the head of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington. Within few days he received reply. confirming his belief that the rock was mATG0TlyR. r. ures for the preservation of the find. He realized at once that such large unetor had a commercial as we'll as a scientific value.
 The rock was placed on wagon and carted to Mir. Coleman's house. It was placed upon, scales and weighed Si0 pounds. TlNs Is larger rock of its kind than either the Smithsonian or the National Museum has and 1t is thou@ht to he worth $i 900.
 The rock is about three feet long and two feet thick. MT. Coleman has had several photographs taken and will send one to each of the principal mu- seums of the country.
 When this large meteor fell will form an important part in the intrinsic and scientific value of the find. It Is known to have been in the old field for three or four years. About eight years ago, according to the reports of the neighbors, a brilliant meteor flashed athwart the horizon and seemed to vanish in the field in the rear or where Mir Coleman's house Is now sit- uated. This is now thought to be the meteor.
