Charles Fay and Joe Stevens were tak en In custody last night by Captain Don elson and Officer Culpeper on the charge of doing business without license. They had several boxes of shoes when arrested. Mr. Newberry stumbled over a negro in the rear of his barber shop last night, and as his manner was suspicious Officer Goggan was called In, and on searching the negro found a concealed pistol on him. He was placed in the lock-up, and the charge of carrying concealed weap ons was placed before his name. The prisoner gave his name as George Carver.

CHARGES OP FRAUD. The Mississippi Legislature Will Be Asked, to Investigate the Charges. Jackson, Miss., Dec. 13.—A sensational squabble is likely to be had before the legislature, which meets in January, and all on account of a state law whloh re quires the seventy-five counties to con tract every five years for books to be used by the public schools. These con tracts were awarded a few weeks since, one big book concern, the American, cap turing the lion's share. Rival concerns now claim, however, that many of the contracts were secured through fraud and bribery, and will endeavor to have them set aside by the legislature. Each county has a board of school book con tractors, and some of these, it is charged, were paid large sums of money for their votes. An investigating committee will be asked for. JOHNSTON’S CANDIDACY, What the State Press Has to Say of the Gen tleman From Jefferson. A strong pull, a steady pull and a pul? altogether tor Johnston for governor.-^ Cleburne New Era. An Unholy Warfare. Says the Huntsville Argus: ‘‘Never In the history of the state has such an unfair, unjust and unrelenting warfare been waged against any man within his party as has been kept up without ceasing by the Montgomery Ad vertiser against that peer of any In his party, Capt. Joseph F. Johnston. Its venomous, blind and persistent assaults would be cruel If they were not hurtless. The democrats of Alabama will submit to no such Injustice. Within the last few days It has become manifest that no means will be deemed unworthy of use which will tend to effect the cherished end—the defeat of Johnston. But, mark you, the people b.elleve'all the more, from these desperate tokens, that he is the man of all others who should be made governor of Alabama." Can Heartily Support Either. The Jasper Eagle, a gold standard pa per, says: “The ‘sound money wing’ of the dem ocratic. party In Alabama, If the press is to be taken as an Indication, are going to run Congressman It. H. Clarke of Mo bile for the nomination for governor. Clarke is an able man and the party will have good timber If it gets either John ston or the Mobilian. We can heartily support either.” The Party Will_Not Force. Says the Hamilton News-Press. "Is it not lamentable that two great dailies like the Mobile Register and the Montgomery Advertiser shou.d show so much temper because they can’t force the democratic party of Alabama to dis card Capt. Joseph F. Johnston as a can didate for the nomination for governor? Captain Johnston has been an openly de clared candidate for the nomination for over a month, and If he was not accept able to the great majority of the party Is It not reasonable to suppose that there would not have been opposition devel oped ere this, particularly when these two great dailies, In the language of a contemporary, have been scraping the state with a fine tooth comb to find some candidate to oppose Captain Johnston? This is the best evidence to our mind that Captain Johnston is the first choice of a. great majority of the democratic party for governor, and this fact will be fully developed when the state con vention assembles, despite the powerful Influence (?) of the before mentioned dallies. Hurrah for Cant. Joseph F? Johnston, who is unmistakahlv and oveflJ whelmlngly the choice of the democratic party of Alabama for governor. s NATIONAL COMMITTEE - • , y Will Meet in Washington January 16 to Name the Time and Place of Holding the Next Democratic Convention. - T-•n"**' Philadelphia, T>ec. 13.—Chairman W.

Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 13.—The town of Titusville, in Brevard county, was nearly wiped out by fire about 1 o’clock this morning. The fire originated in Hamburg’s store, in the business centre of the town, and before it was gotten un der control thirty-one buildings were de stroyed. All efforts to control the fire were in vain until dynamite was used to blow up buildings. During the progress of the fire a Mr. O’Rrien entered a burn ing building to secure $18, which he had left in his room. He got the money, but was so badly burned that he died in a short while. The total loss is estimated at $100,000, partially insured. The opinion is general that the fire was Incendiary, and Messrs. Hambcrg and Garner, merchants, have been arrested on suspicion and are now in jail The fire originated in Hamberg’s store, and the circumstantial evidence against the men is said to be strong. Many threats have been made against the men today and lynching was feared tonight. To prevent this many special officers were sworn in, and the jail is now thoroughly guarded. CAPT.
