There had been no fire about the plnce for several days, and of course, occurring at that hour, could not have been other than the work of an incendiary. How to protect our property from the night-prowling in cendiary is getting to be. a serious question in this section. Whenever one is caught the hang man’s rop* ought always to settle his career.

His remains were carried to Mncon Sunday night for interment. HKV. R. H. HARRIS. Ho Beturnn fro* HU Vsoation and Preaches to a barge Congregation. Quite a large congregation greeted Hcv. Robt. H. Harris, pastor of the First Baptist church, on Sunday morning. Rev. Mr. Harris had just re turned from his summer vacation, and he looked unusually fresh and vigorous. The subject and text, as Mr. Harris said, were the same, and they were composed of the one word “Sin.” Mr. Har ris said that the belief that God had anything to do with creating sin was a fallacy, as was also the opinion that men per se were its origi nators. He then entered into a logical and lucid discussion of the origin of evil,',treating the sub ject from a metaphysical standpoint. Mr. Harris agroed with the orthodox theologian in dating the origin of evil from the fall of the angels. Ho demonstrated plainly that God was not respon sible for sin, and that this fact did not conflict with His attributes of omnipotence and om niscience. He said sin was un essence or condi tion of which men voluntarily availed themselves. God’s grace rendered it unnecessary for man to he a sinner. The preacher then used the illus tration of a man w’ho inserts his linger into a jet of flame. The fire possesses elements which injure the man’s finger, and the man himself is susceptible of suffering by the act. But the burning is the effect of a cause which the man himself created. Thus it is with men who are undone by sin. Bin is an effect, they themselves having fhr- nished the cause. The entire sermon was clear, terse, and clothed in diction of unusual purity. It was listened to with the closest attention by the entire congregation, and, no doubt, made a deep impression. The music at the First Baptist church on Hun day morning was unusually fine. The two solos sung by Misses Kehoc and Mason were very solemn and sweet and were greatly enjoyed by the large congregation. LOCAL LACONICS. —This is legal sale clay. —The steamer Pactolus is expected to arrive today. —If people were as eager to circulate reports that would be of benefit to others as they are those calculated to wound feeling there would he fewer hearts made to ache. —An outhouse on Mrs. Catherine Deignan’s premises caught fire on Sunday, but was extin guished before it was necessary to turn in an alarm. —Coleman’s genuine negro minstrels, a Colum bus venture, stranded down tlie river several days ago, and the members have returned to the city. —Joe Marion—not the whitewashor-was run in by tlie police yesterday for being drunk and disorderly. He had in liis possession a pair of pants, which the police believe to have been stolen. Mr. VV. W. Morris, past grand master, o’ Louisville, attended the meeting of Muscogee Lodge No. a, I. (). (). F., last night, and gave a very instructive lecture and exemplified the secret work. The local Odd Fellow i were de lighted with him ami hope that his visits will THK KLKCTION TO-MORROW.

From Henry chancery court. Stone, C. J. 1. A failing or insolvent debtor may lawfully sell and trauster his property, at its* fair and reasonable value, in absolute payment of a bona- fide debt, though he thereby disables himself to pay other creditors; and If no benefit ia thereby reserved or secured to himself, they cannot impeach the transaction, or inquire in to his motive or intention in making it. 2. A conveyance absolute on its face, but in tended oulv a) security for a loan, and accom panied with a separate obligation to reconvey on payment of the debt, being withheld from record, and there being no change of possession, is fraudulent and void as against existing credi tors; but, to enable subsequent creditors to im peach and set it aside, they must show actual (as distinguished from construe ive\ fraud on the part of the debtor, ami participation in that fraud by the grantee. 3. The mere failure to have the conveyance re corded until after the debtor had become insol vent, a period of ten months, is uot sufficient to show fraud on the part of the grantees, when it appears that they resided in Georgia, uud they testify' that they supposed they were allowed twelve months within which to have it recorded; though, if it were shown that the debtor, when acknowledging the execution of the deed, at tempted to conceal its contents, and that the grantees had knowledge of that, fact, this would possibly’ justify the court in holdiug them par ticipants in his fraud.” -irtii appointed solicitor’s and the complaint. account.

Last night at midnight a man wandered into the Rankin House rotunda, who had the appear ance of being slightly daft. He could not pro* nouuce a word plainly, and while it was evident that lie was not under the influence of liquor, he walked aud talked like oue in a dream. His dress was course and soiled, and night clerk, John Brazile, who is kind to rich and poor alike, as sisted him to the door and advised him to go home to bed. He said: “No bed, nowhere.” very audibly. Two police officers weie at the door, and one of them offered to take him to the station house and give him a bed and let him out in the morning. He seemed to dread going away with an officer, and said he would be a prisoner, and couldn’t “get out to-morrow.” A rep n-ter for the Enquirer-Sun who was Handing by, ad vised him to go, and assured him that the officer would let him out in the morning if lie promised to do so. The strange man who had excited tlie curiosity of quite a crowd, then took the reporter aside and said : “I am wrong up here,” and he passed liis hand rapidly across liis brain. He continued: “My name is Fred Rjmainc; I have wandered all over Florida for four months | past. My home is in S . Louis, Mo. 1 have just got to your city to-night. I don’t know where I am going. I’ll tell you more to-morrow.” The man had quite a sum of money on his person, ami Mr.Charley Heyman, of the Rankin House I bar,l\ad recommended film to the care ofthe police in order that he might not be imposed on. After I the reporter advised him to go with the police | man, he went readily wiin a member of the force who was waiting fm him in from of the door.
