HICKS BURNS TO ^H. / Life in City Guard House Last Thursday. In the lire which totally destroy the guard house on last Thursday night, Charles Hicks, a weli known young man was burned to death before assistance could reach him The city guard house was a small brick building and was divided by a partition, one side used for the whites and the other for the col ored. At the time of the tire only two persons were within, Charlie Hicks aud Jim ‘Lawson, a negro. The liie caught on Hicks’ side, supposed in an accidental manner from a lighted cigarette or from a tallow candle. The cries ot Hicks brought to the scene two boys, who as soon as an axe could be secured, knocked in the door but too late to render him assistance as the flames had covered him. The flames had not reached the side occupied by Jim Lawson and he escaped with out being hurt. The fire occurred about twelve o’clock, just at the hour when the policemen change beats and Chief Bohnnan had just left to wake Mr. Meador, whe was to stav on duty the rest of the night. Hicks, the unfortunate young man, is prominently connected with some of the brat people in Georgia and he was very popular with the young men of Oxford, where he was engaged as book¬ keeper for Mr. J. Z. Johnson. He came to Oxford lrorn Boston, Ga., where he lived several years. His cremated remains were re¬ moved Friday morning and were iuterred in Oxford, Rev. R. G. Smith officiating. Awaiting Developements. New York, Nov. 10.—Practical¬ ly all the bettors are williug to await developements in the contest between McClelland and Hearst. As a matter of fact, showing the uncertainty which permeated the Wall street betting ring regarding the results in the mayoralty fight, bets were made that Hearst would still be mayor of New YTirk in place of McClellan. At the outset 5 to 1 was bet on McClellan being sus tained in the recount, and later some small bets were reported at odds of 3 to 1 on the same result, while later odds of 3 to 1 were of¬ fered on McClellan. The post election betting wss a novelty in Broad street, and the bets made by W. W. Bagley, G. B. Buchduau, C. R. Hammers lough, Anness & Newnan and oth¬ ers attracted considerable atten lion. W. W. Bagley laid $10,000 to $3,000 on McClellan being sus¬ tained in the recount with Anness & Newnan, and Frederick Schwed offered to lay $ 20,000 to $ 100,000 on Heat at. It was stated that Schwed, who made a book on the results of t he electiou, won $ 20,000 and that he was now willing to lay the entire proceeds ou Hearst winning on the recount. Stakeholders of election bets in the uptown hotel district have paid all Jerome wagers, but they refus¬ ed positively to decide bets made on Hearst and McClellan until af¬ ter the official canvass has been made. By the Hearst managers the charge is made that many b ‘ <llJot3 strangely marked were counted for Mayor McClelland and rejected tor Mr Hear,.. The reject,on w. 8 based 011 the ground thntthey could ,he„ ascertain whether hired vo ters had cast their ballots as agreed, Hearst watchers brought to Mr. Hearst many instances it was as serted, where Hearst ball-ts mark ed legitimately and just the same „s many McClellan ballotsiwere thrown out. Affidavits to t ~i'.$ e feet were made by dozens of the watchers, chiefly those employed in the sixth and eight «euth distrietts. CIRCUS WOMAN HURT. Fell From High Trap cze Performance Here Thursday.
