for the complete calendar year a total
of fully 300 million dollars.

SM1THFIELD'S FIREBUG.
Evidence That George P. Rouse Had
Robbed Stores.

Suffolk, Va, Dec. 24.-Further de-
velopments in the case Of George +.
Rouse. the Smithfeld merchant, who
confessed to firing the town on morn
ing of Sunday, December Is, seems to
point to deliberate intent with a
distinct motive behind. The sentiment
in Smithfeld is hostile to Rouse and
subsequent discoveries have made it
more so and have dispelled any insan-
ity theory.
Sheriff r. A. Edwards, headed a
searching party yesterday and in an
old lumber room on Rouse's premises
were found shirts, ties, socks, all kinds
of mems wearing apparel, afterward
identified by Gilbert Seward Company,
whose place Rouse burelariZed before
setting fire to it.
The Seward Company was compel
itor and it was this place that Rouse
fired on Sunday night, December Is.
He attempted on Thursday night to
fire the Barrow place. but the fire went
out. Mr.. Barrow said today that on
Thursday he told Rouse that Seward
wanted to rent his place to continue
his undertaking business. Rouse, too
is connected with an undertaking bus
mess. Evidence was brought out to-
day that the place of Sam Papillaido,
at which Rouse was caught Saturday
redhanded, had been fitted up with
new machinery for shoe repairing.
Rouse owned shoe shop. The prelim-
mary hearing will be held Tuesday.
Smithfield rests more comfortable
now that Rouse is safe within the
walls of Isle of Wight Jail.
