About 5 o'clock this morning tho alarm sonnded again, and this time the fire was located ia the kitchen of the West Honse, situated in tho Westbrook building, corner Broad and Jnckson streets. The kitchen joins the main building. The fire soon got under considerable headway, but, by the excellent work of tho department, it was confined to the kitchen. The whole build ing was floodod with water. Tho stores of Messrs. McManus A Co. and A. J. Bosh wero under the fire and the f oods were badly damaged by water and rcakngo in removal. Air.

Post-office Ia^pector Booth returned yes terday from Lob Angeles, Cal., where he captured Will It. Jackson, tho defaulting assistant postmaster at Americas, Go. The story of his ilight and capture has never before been pubushed, and is very in teresting. He took several hundred dollars from registered letters, and abont $5,000 worth of post-office orders and postal notes. Ho cashed about $900 worth of notes, sent his brother in Montgomery a small portion of tho money and tied. The post-office authorities learned of this, and arrested the latter on tho charge of being implicated in the theft. Ho was placed in jail at Montgomery, but becoming tired of confinement betrayed his elder brother to secure his release. He stated his brother had fled to the West and assumed the name of Jack Jones. Like a sleuth hound the shrewd post-office inspector followed Jack- son to New Orleans, thence through Texas to El Paso. There they lost sight of him for a short time, and when they next heard of he was Tosco?, Arizona. From that place he went to Los Angeles and was cap tured on a telegram by a deputy mar shal. He stoutly denied his identity and applied for a writ of habeas corpus, which was not granted. When Inspector Booth arrived Jackson still denied that he was the person wanted nnd made a number of contradictory statements regarding his former residence. Jackson’s assumed name, which his brother betrayed, led to his capture. Whenever ho applied for mail addressed to Jack Jones toe postmaster, who had been previously notified, would telegraph the inspectors, and in this way ho was tracked. Jackson was turned over to United States Marshal Drew, of Califor nia, who will convey bim to Americas.— Chattanooga Times. thov. Stokes accompanied Woodall to find Jackson the same night to deny tho charge, hut they failed to find him. Mon- day, at noon, on his way to dinner, Stokes met Jackson in front of Dan- nan's drug store. A few word- passed between tho two men nnd the lie was passed. Conflicting statements ns to which of the men did the cursing. Stokes fired at Jackson, tho ball striking him near the left nipple. Stok* < again attempted to firo at Jackson and his pistol snapped, Jaekson at this time feeling for Ids pistol. Stokes finding his pistol no good retroota, when Jackson fires three shots at him with a 40-calibre improved Smith A Wesson, one shot only takiug effect in the neighborhood the hip, entering about three inches nnd passing around rather in front of tho groin. The bail was extracted by surgeons, wno do not think the wound serious. The shot re ceived by Jackson did uot penetrate the skin. Stokes nnd three others claim that Jackson pressed on him with a knife dur ing his retreat Jackson and others are positive he lmd no knifo, and he gives os a reason for following Stokes up that it was to take his pistol from him. Both parties are under bond, both are sober, popular young men, neither of them given to bullyism or strife. The best citi zens of the town regret tho difficulty and nn effort will bo mndo to settle all differ ence between the young men, which will no doubt be successful.

Little Louise Achey, a 13-year-old Ohio girl, was the plaintiff in nn important suit before Judge Speer in the United States Circuit Cour yesterday. In 1881 Elizabeth N. Savago anil others of tho family, who live in Angnsfa, entered into negotiations with Nelson Barker, an Atlnnta broker, to obtain a loan of fonr or five thousand dol lars. Through Mr. Barker notes for $5,000 at 8 per cent interest for five years were forwarded to Mr*. Achey at Dayton, Ohio. Her little dungher hod some money to in vest and $5,000 of her money was sent to C. W. Munnerlyn, to whom the Savages had given unreserved power of attorney. He had agreed to pay Mr. Barker $800 commission, which waa done. The firs year's interest, $400, was duo December 19t 1882, and was promptly paid. Since 1882 the interest has not been paid. When steps were taken to enforce payment tbe Savages set np the plea of forfeiture on tho. ground of usury. In their defenso in court yesterday the additional plea was made by tho defendant that they never received any of tho money. Tho legal rate of interest being 8 per cent., the defendants claim that the $700 which Mr. Barker received was a usurious charge. Barker testified that he did not act as the agent of the Ohio pur. ties, and that they did not receivo any part ot tho $800 which was the commission paid him by Munnerlyn. The latter testified that he did not understand Barker to be the tho agent of the Acheyx, and he stated that he lost all of the money speculating in rail road stocks. Judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff for $5,000 principal, $1,293 inter est, $529 attorneys’ fees, and all costs. The plaintiff was represented by Messrs. My natt A Howell, of Atlanta, and the defend ants by Mr. Miller, of Augusta.

This waa a suit for$10,000 damages, brought by Sarah Ferguson for her little daughter, Isahello, who was maimed for life on a turntable of the Columbus and Romo Railroad in this city, shout fifteen months S o. Jndge Willis granted a non-snit in o case when it wus first taken np for trial. It was carried to tho Supreme Guurt, and that court, in a decision rendered about two weeks ago, reversed the judgment of the court below. The evidenco showed that the father or the child was employed as watchman at the yard and shops of the road. At the time of the accident he had gone to his breskfsst and left his little son to watch the yard. The little girl, then abont ten yean old,was sent to carry breakfast to the boy. The two children began to play on the turntable and the little girl’s legs wero cangbt in it and terribly mangled Tbe plaintiff relied for a verdict npon the fact that the turntable was not lookod or fastened, and that the gates to the yard were left opened and people allowed to pass in and out without hind rance. The defendant introduced no testi mony. Tho Jury retired about 8:30 o'clock, and after being ont nearly half an hoar, returned a verdict for tbe plaintiff for $5,0tX). The case will be taken to the Supreme Coart by the defendant In connection with this cate there is sn incident worthy of nota. The* skin nnd flesh were badly tom from tho little girt * limbs in places, and after consultation the physicians decided that in order to caase the wounds to heal, skin would have to be transplanted. Her little brother very heroi cally agreed to allow the skin to be taken from his arm, an.l Dr. H. N. Jordan per formed the operation of removing and transplanting it on the little girl's legs. He also u ade several applications of very thin slice* of sponge to produce tbe formation of flesh. Tbe operation was very successful, nnd tbo little brother deserves great credit for his heroism and self-sacrifice.—Colurn- bna Enquirer-Sun.

Gnu Creek, December 7.—'Thcro having been many accounts published in tlio pa- ; >era giving the Powell side of tbo Clegg- ’owell tragedy near Vienna, on tbo 20tn day of November, 1885. It is but duo Mr. Clegg and bis relations that bis side of tliia unfortunate affair shonlil now go beforo tbe people. PoweU had on more than one occa sion raised difficulties with Clegg, and time aud again threatened his life, and even np to the day before tho killing bad mado these threats. On tho day of tho killing Powell, his son and Mrs. Napier wero in tlio field, route seventy-five yards from where Clegg's son, Mrs. Woodward and her daughter wero gathering ground peas. About 2 o'clock Clegg wont into tlio field Micro his son, Mrs. Woodward and her daughter were. Towcll seeing him come down the distance of sev enty-five yards to whore Clegg was sitting down gathering peas. Ho said to Clegg: “You aro a thief nu.i scoundrel; I thirst for your blood;" nnd us Clegg began to rise to his feet, strnck him on the head with tho hoe ho hod in his hand. Clegg staggered bock two fe«t, and in recovering and rising saw Powell's son, Mrs. Napier and her daughter advancing np with hoes nnd knives to where Powell wns. PoweU again strnck Clegg on the bead. Clegg drew his pistol, shot, nnd missing Powell, Powell again struck bim on tbe head and arm with the hoe. Clegg fired then in rapid saccession three shots, which hit PoweU in tho hand, shoulder, necl: anil regions of tho lirer and heart. Powell fell dead. Clegg then began to go home, and Powell's son overtaking him forty steps from tho killing cat him in the back. These facts can and will bn sworn to by three witnesses who saw the whole affair, besides Doctors Howall and Marshall will swear that it was impossibU for PoweU to have hit Clegg after he received his wounds —they were the attending physicians on Clegg. Thursday, the 3rd day of Decem ber, was set apart for tho day of commit ment trial. Hon. J. M.
