FIRE STARTED TO BURN
TRASH CATCHES BUILDING

A fire started in a pile of rubbish
in the rear of Chapman's drug store
early today and spread to the ware
room of the Woodall grocery and
meat market and until the fire de-
partment reached the scene threaten
ed the entire block with destruction
The blaze had gained considerable
headway before the fire fighters ar
rived, owing to the fact that one of
the department horses was at a black
smith shop being shod when the
alarm was given A frame in the
back window of the Sanders-Wright
store was burned and the window
broken and this aside f rom slight
damage to one of the walls of the
Woodall ware room, constituted the
main damage done, which probably
amounts to about fifty dollars.

May Test Pardon.

The right of the governor to issue a
pardon conditional upon the good be-
havior of its recipient will be subjected
to a legal test in event the Pike coun-
ty authorities succeed in capturing Bud
Wall, the celebrated ~ex-convict, who
defed the entire police force of Nc
Comb City a few nights since, keeping
at bay a squad of bluecoats who were
attempting to raid his barber shop and
search it for contraband liquor. Bud
Wall was p%ardoned by Gov. Noel only a
few weeks ago. The pardon contained
the condition that Wall must faithfully
observe all of the laws of the State,
and neither engage in the sale of or
drink intoxicating liquors. According
to reports from Pike county, the ceIe-
brated ex-convict had hardly reached
his old stamping grounds when he open
ed up a barber shop and was doing a
flourishing business up to the time his
place was raided BY the McComb police.

JACKSON
Three Railroad Charters Given.

SevSAs
The granting of three charters for new
railway lines in Mississippi within the
past week is taken as an indication of
the general revival of prosperity, espe-
clally in the southern section of the
State, where crops have been uniformly
good during the past year, and the lum-
Der manufacturing plants are running on
full time.
A great deal is being said about the
proposed Mississippi River Western road
from Natchez to Meridian, President
Hudson having announced that he has
succeeded in placing the bonds of the
company with French capitalists, and
declares positively that the road will be
built.
In the list Of proposed new lines, it is
absolutely certain that the New Orleans
Great Northern will build eastward from
Columbia in the direction of Hattiesburg,
m that the Mobile, jackson & Kansas
City is behind the project to extend the
logging line of the Ellisville Lumber
Company from Ellisville to Kola, a dis
lance of about eighteen miles, and will
order the commencement of construction
work as soon as right of way is secured.
It is also announced that the Sage
Land and Investment Company, a cor
poration owning about 100000 acres of
virgin pine lands in Marion and ad-
joining counties, will build a line con-
Meeting Columbia and Poplarville, a dis
lance of about forty-five miles, connect
ing at the former point with the Gulf &
Ship Island and New Orleans Great
Northern, thus affording a new line into
Jackson.
The Liberty-White road is also plan.
ming an eastward extension from its
present terminus toward Columbia, and
the Marion county metropolis promises
to become a close rival to Hattiesburg as
a railroad center.

Supreme Court Reverses Itself.

The supreme court did the unusual
thing OF reversing itself by sustaining a
suggestion of error in the case of Sandy
Hays, convicted of murder in Simpson
county and given a life sentence. The
court had originally reversed the case
on the ground that the record failed to
show aftrmatively that the grand Jury
That found the indictment was ever
sworn.
Assistant Attorney-General Butler had
filed a suggestion of error, calling the at
tentlon OF the court to section 1913 of
the code, passed by the Legislature after
the three court decisions which had been
followed in the reversal, and which pro-
vides that to avail itself of the defect
mentioned the defense shall make the
point before a verdict is reached. In this
case it had been made in a motion for a
stay of execution, after the verdict had
been rendered, but before sentence had
been pronounced.
Justice Smith, in rendering the opin-
ion, frankly confessed the error of the
court, sustained the motion and affirmed
the case, wherefore the defendant, in
stead of getting a new trial, will be
promptly sent to the State penitentiary.
