OLD LADIES Home LOST
in MERIDIAN failure

Jackson, March 1S.-The Old La
dies Home Association of Mississippi
has about $4,000 tied up in the South
ern Bank of Meridian, which institu-
ton posted a notice on its doors Mon
day that its affairs would be placed
in liquidation.
The officers of the association who
reside in Jackson have not been able
to learn anything regarding the pro-
portion of the deposit, if any, they
will be able to recover during the
process of liquidation. The failure
of the bank at this time is doubly I'M
fortunate because of the fact that
building operations on the home, To-
Gated in the western suburbs of this
city, are under way, and the lower
house of the legislature will not pass
the bill carrying donation of $4,000
to the institution, although the meas
ure was passed in the senate by a
three-fifths majority.

Washington, March 1S.-The navy

VERY LITTLE
DOUBT ABOUT
REBUILDING

There are practically no new de-
velopments concerning intentions
about the Newman mill.
President Peck is expected to ar
rive in the city either today or to-
morrow.
1t is very generally believed that
he will favor the rebuilding of the
saw mill department of the Newman
Lumber Company, but it is also stated
that he will likely want to confer
with the other stockholders at Scran-
ton. Pa. before he can make a def
mite statement.
There is absolutely no doubt in the
minds of those who are close to the
companys interests that the plant
will be rebuilt.
There is no reason for thinking
to the contrary, while there are IA
great many reasons for the conf
dence that the company will not hes
itate at all to rebuild and in fact
can hardly afford not to do so, owing
to the company's vast interests here.
1t is said to be probable that the
insurance of the company will be
speedily adjusted.
Meantime arrangements are be-
ing made to place some of the hands
at the Sumrall mill, which is to be
operated at its full capacity.

PLANT WAS SAVED ONLYBY
MOST HEROIC EFFORTS
Eight Dry kiIns, Asserting Sheds
and Two Locomotives Burned.
Mill VIII Continue to Operate on
Full Time II Is Said. -a,s

From reports received last night
from Lumberton, it appears that the
early estimates of the. fire disaster to
the Camp & Hinton company's lum-
ber plant were, as is usual IN first re-
ports, considerable overestimated.
1t is not now believed that the dam
age will reach over $4,000.
1t is believed that the fire orig
mated from spark from railroad
engine. The fire broke out about
1890 o'clock and was we'll under con-
troll in about three or four hours.
Neither the sawmiIl plant nor the
planers were damaged by the fire.
The eight big brick dry kilns, the
asserting sheds, and the machine
shop, which was situated just across
the railroad, were totally destroyed
One and a half million feet of lum-
Der went up In flames.
Two locomotives, belonging to the
lumber company, which were in the
machine shop, were destroyed, OF
rather so badly damaged as to be
worthless
Mr.. Jim Love, who went down tc
Lumberton yesterday afternoon, re
turned last night and he places the
damages at from $4,000 to $4,000.
He states that the waterworks gave
an amply supply of water from star
to finish and that some splendid worl
was done by the volunteer fire de
partment. The dry kilns had stee
doors and above these doors wal
erected temporary protection from
the fire, and the fire department
poured almost continuous strean
of water over the doors and on tn
lumber inside. 1t is thought that Il
this way the flames were so drivel
back that great aid was thus ren
dered in saving the balance of tn
plant.
Only $4,000 in insurance was cal
ried on the part of the plant tina
was burned.
The Camp & Hinton Lumber Con
pany is very large concern and tn
interests of Mr.. H. Camp, of thi
city, and Mr.. ]. ]. White, of McCom
City, were purchased about five year
ago by Mr.. j. H. Hinton and it fiji
ally became financially embarrasse
and passed into the hands of recei'
ers, Mr.. C. w. Robinson and the H
hernia Bank and Trust Company {
New Orleans being appointed recei'
ers, since which time it has bee
operated by the New Orleans partie
Mr.. Robinson and representatiy
of the New Orleans bank are expec
ed to be in Lumberton today and
is thought that they will at once pr
ceed to have the machine shops, dI
kiIns, etc., rebuilt
The operation of the plant wi
go on as usual The saw mill is n,
in any way damaged and thep lanel
are all right, 80 it is not expecte
that many hands will be thrown ol
of employment.

In discussing the Chas. Cooper trag
edy, questions are often asked AZ
TO the cause of the bad feeling al,
l'ged to exist among the Kelley:
against Cooper.
We have inquired into the matter
With the following result
Not long ago Chas. Cooper bought
the old John Kelley farm, where
Frank Kelley was reared. John
vas the husband of Martha A.
Kelley and the father Of Frank, and
also OF John Sprouse's mother. No,
long before Johns death he decided
his farm to John Sprouse upon a
contract to take care Of him and
bis wife during their life. Sprouse
grew tired Of his bargain and sur
rendered his contract. The old
folks then made a similar agreement
with another relative named Castle
ard made him a deed. After the
death of old man John Kelley, Cas-
tie made a trade with the widow
ard unloaded her upon her son
Frank. He subsequently sold the
farm to Charley Cooper, very much
TO the displeasure of Mrs. Kelley
and son Frank. 1t is said they de-
sired to regain possession of the
cd home place and had expected 10
do 50 at some time before It should
lass out of the hands of the family
II seems that their displeasure was
freely expressed and that they declar-
ed they would get rid of Cooper.
Frank Kelley is IS years OF age.
He is said to have been married six
or seven times. The wives are not
all dead. He is a man of more
than average intelligence, and is
very Industrious. His industry has
enabled him TO accumulate suffi-
Gent means with which to live COM
fortably and to put up strong de-
tense against the many criminal
charges that he has had to answer.
The grand jury last week indict-
ed Frank Kelley for arson and muir
der In the Cooper case and also for
criminal assault upon a 14-year-old
Barker girl. This girl is sister of
Della Barker, who was arrested for
completely in the Cooper tragedy.
Charley Cooper and wife and the
surviving children are all recover
ILg from the effects of the fire.
They will be badly disfigured dur
ing the remainder of their lives and
one child will be cripple. One Of
lis legs is drawn into a half bent
position at the knee.
