It was a small building owned by Mr. Tom Ruinsey and occupied by Onie Thornton, a colored woman. Tim fire was Jiscoverd shortly after 12 o’clock by Mar shal Brice. The house was on the western edge of town, and by the* time the •ViaLha! reached it, it was impossible to cheek the fire, which consumed the building-, with all its contents. Ouie was spending the night with a neigh¬ bor' and so saved nothing. The house of Mr. Bart Gilbert, which , by, ti h r was near was in great danger, but after waking t lie oc- entrants, who were sleeping soundly despite the nearness of the fire, Mar- shal Price, with the assistance of several others who had come up, succeeded in savi..g it.

Among other ih.ngs it contraned two peculiar looking contrivances made of leather; They were , just alike in appearance, and each c in¬ sisted of a flat piece of thick leather three inches long and two inches vide, upon the middle of winch was fasten¬ ed what appeared to be a little leathern . ... box about an mob • , ami i half square. To this were attached straps, which looked as if they had been worn. After some trouble Mr. Green suc- eroded in tearing open the box sufficiently to see that it had com- put tments. Each of these contained a piece of parchment tied with long, gray hairs, an 1 upon which were in* cribcd Hebrew characters, Not one of our citizens who saw these pecu¬ liar looking things could imagine tor wliut purpose they were intended. Through curiosity Rev. E. A Keese took i.hc»e thing3 with him to At- rceen ly. He showed them to somc Jews, who recogniz'd them at once and explain? 1 their use.

Lodged In Jail* Gordon Gray, the young man who was arrested two or three weeks ago and made his escape at the same time the Smith girlsdid, has been figuring con spicuously in police circles several days this tteek. After making his escape Gray did not go far, and several times was seen skulking about the outskirts of the town. Deputy Sheriff Y Kellar suspec ted that Gray was selling whis- key, and set a trap to catch him. On Sunday SrtCrnoon he saw Graj- in the act of selling whiskey to a ne- gro, near the cemetery, and him. He also brought along Bud a b(> ^ of 12 or 13, who was with Gray.
