Rev. Preston
May Be All Right
HIS FRIENDS SAY THEY CANNOT
THINK THAT HE is
DISHONEST.

Little credit is given the story
which is going the rounds of newspa-
per circles concerning the Rev. South
G. Preston, a minister of the NJ. E.
South, Church, who is said to have
left the country owing money which
he does not intend to pay.
In the event that he has borrowed
money, his friends declare that he will
make the loan good, and that such
has been his intention all the while.
Those who know Rev. Preston claim
him to be a godly man, educated be-
yond the average circuit minister.
Prior to his coming to West Virginia
he was a Kentuckian and at one time
was lawyer. He had been in the
ministry 81 years and in that time hal
brought no shame upon the cause
which he espoused. He had not ask
ed for a charge this fall but intended
going into business at Mt. Lake Park,
Md.

prominent in political and educational
affairs in Louisiana duriRg the period
OF Republican control thirty years
ago, is revisiting the state for the first
time IN fifteen years, the main purpose
OF his coming being to attend q re-
union q the family of his late wife,

years. Among the positions he now
fills are jury commissioner for New
York city, lecturer for the boards OF
education of New York and Washing
ton, chairman OF the New York city

Iaa Rieayune ana Roman History.

8a28 2ieaJune and roman History.
In taking issue with the esteemed
Pieayune on the statement that Rome
had comparatively little commerce, "
The Chief had no idea that sshe=se
column of ponderous editorial #auzd
be launched on It's devoted heed a
reply. A careful reading of the cal-
umn, however, discloses nothing in
consistent with the facts cited by The
4 Chief as indicating that Rome was the
mistress OF a tremendous commerce.
The shades of Crassus were invoked
not in derogation of our contempe-
rary's well-known erudition, and far
less 'sin glee at the Picayune's igno-
rance but because it is related that
amongst his other ventures this pro-
genitor OF our modern stock and grain
gamblers once ran a "corner" in wheat
and had the whole crop of Egyra ~
his vessels off the port of Osbia whiie
the price of bread in Rome was soar
ing.
The Chief took an average on the
estimated population OF the city OF
Rome, which estimates vary, as the
Picayune says, from half million to
ten million. The population of the
city at it's maximum was not all within
the walls, and even then an average of
ten to a building may be low, as the
slums had buildings of five and six
stories crowded as in modern times
such districts are, and the wealthy
bad hordes of slaves under their own
roofs, making the average higher
than would now be the case. Vid
Juvenal.
With regard to the laws, Justinian
merely codifed the laws which had
been growing for centuries and were
the laws Of Rome itself. DIR. John B.
Minor, for fifty years professor of
law at the University of Virginia,
and said by the Hon. VIM. NJ. Evarts
to have been the best law teacher in
the United States, is authority for the
statement that our commercial law is
founded on that OF Rome, and further
that, while they may hot have origi-
mated them, the Romans had corpora
tions.
Rome PROFESSIONALLY plundered the
world, but vastly more through the /
channels of commerce than by violence.
Every locality conquered by Rome ia-
creased in population ana aggregate
wealth. None were made deserts.
Even when cities we're destroyed in
process Of conquest, new and larger
and more opulent cities grew in their
places, often on the same sites.
While most of the history of Rome as
written is OF battles, campaigns, con.
quests, these by no means constituted
he whole life of the people or the city.
The intervals We're not filled by sloth
ful idleness, hut by active and lu-
3ratiFe business-commerce The de-
ais have net come down to US, but
The conclusion is Irresistible from the
growth q populations ard the visible
traces OF great works still left us.

Valley Train Wrecked.

The fast train on the MississipD
Valley Railroad known as the Mem
phis Express was wrecked about 4:4t
O'Clock last Saturday afternoon. a
Colomb Park, between Convent anG
Burnside. Miraculously, no one was
killed, but six persons were more OF
less seriously Injured, among then
being Judge G. b. McManus of Don.
aldsonville. who received a number
OF painful bruises. MIR. McManus
had been in Slidell on business and
was hurrying home after receiving a
telephone message that his wife was
dangerously i'll.
The wreck was due 10 the opening,
presumably by some miscreant, OF
what is known as St. Rose switch
The engine and the first truck of the
baggage car passed safely over the
switch, after which the rails opened
and threw the other coaches of the
track.
The first baggage car jumped across
the track, with its front truck on one
side of the embankment and its rear
truck on the other. The second bag
gage car was partly turned over, its
trucks being knocked from under il
and smashed. The mail car left the
track and was partly turned over.
The first passenger coach, reserved
for negroes, was turned completely
over and all of the passengers were
cut by broken window glass. The sec
ond passenger coach was partly turned
over and landed on it's side at an
angle of forty-five degrees. The first
Pullman sleeper was thrown off the
track, but did not turn over. Tbs
second sleeper left the track, but main
tanned its upright position The last
sleeper and the engine remained on
the track.

Warehouse Burned,

During brilliant electrical storm
| about 2:30 o'clock last Sunday after.
noon, lightning struck and set fire tc
Louis Dehon's big warehouse in aou-
mas street, between Albert aud Tayl0z
streets, the building and its contents
being completely destroyed. An alarm
was turned 10 from box 35 and the fire
department responded with its us84l
degree of promptitude, bu5 owing 10
the heavy wind prevailing and tee
fac5 that the burning structure ass
stocked with a carload Of hay add
osher eombustible material, the flames
spread with great rapidity and in &
remarkably short space OF time bad
entirely consumed the warehouse and
its contents. Uader the circumstances
the department. did excellent work in
coafning the fire to the building ia
which it originated.
Sparks carried by the wind set fire
to other buildings nearby, but these
incipient blazes were promptly ex-
ttnguished and no serious damage re
slited. A hard rah commenced to fall
while the fire was at its height and as
sisted materially in checking what
might easily have proven disastrous
condagration.
The hay in the burned building was
the property of the Lafourche Mer-
cattle Company and was valued at
S65. Neither it nor the warehouse vas
insured, hence the loss, estimated at
about $4,000. is total. A stable aud
small outbuilding in the yard of Mr..
Dehon's residence property were dam
aged to the extent of several hundred
dollars.
