About 4 o’clock Sunday morning, a I little store on Oak street owned by Henry Tillman, colored, was con sumed by fire, together with its con tents which was valued at about §200. Besides the loss of his stock Tillman I say3 that ho had nearly §100 hid around in different parts of the store. When the fire was discoved the door was open, and the building on fire in such a manner that there is hardly any doubt that the place was first robbed and then set on fire by thieves, as no one sleep in the place at night. Police Court. About a hundred attended the mayors matinee yesterday morning. I Most of them were either witnesses or lookers on as there were only a few cases to be tried. James Kennedy was up on two cases of disorderly con duct. For I he first offence lie was fined §10 and costs,and for the second count §5 nnd costs, aggregating in all §15 for his little lark. George Jack son plead guilty, and was* fined §10 for drawing a weapon on another man at the depot Saturday morning. Alex Cochran, who had been sum- n«- j m moned to appear to answer the charge On Monday, lUOS- Lf ji^rderiy conduct, was §5 aud day and Wednesday costs for con tern jit of court, nnd a ik.IL.E3 AT I * Mayor Hopkins appeared before the ! board, and offered in the nsftic aud behalf of the city, that Thomnsville would take the convicts and relieve the county from all expenses. After some discussion, Commission er Mallette, offered a resolution to leave the disposition of the matter to the next Grand Jury. Hon. Arthur Patten, who was np pointed at the last terra of the Com missioners Court to look into the ti tles of certain lots iu the city of Thom asville, submitted a report in which he places the titles to the county. There arc something like 30 of these lots, and they arc worth quite a snug sum. Capt. Hansel], who was enga ged by the city council to look into the samt matter, and who represented the city, concurred in the report made by Mr. Patten. The new road is coming.

Thomasville can afford to pay this price, and believe such an offer would satify all "parties concerned. It is a trifle less than Capt. McKee offered, but it relieves the situation of all dis agreeable features, dues not bring con vict iuto competition with free labor, and it is certainly true that thc eon Messrs. L. H. Jergcr and Jack Curtriglit will leave for Jacksonville to day. We regret to leatn" that Mr. Sam Cassels is temporarily laid up with the grip. • THC Last Recital.

Senator Beck’s health is completely broken up. lie looks.the shadow of Ids former self, and rarely attends the sessions.

But now sonic French genius comes forword with a smoke-bomb, which is to bo fired into thc ranks of the enemy for the purpose of obscuriug his view. May it not be possible for opposing armies to asphyxiate each other so that both will bo placed in the candi- tion of Sennacherib’s host?
