Larue Bund Saw Mill of Georgia & Aylesworlli Ilurned. The bustling town of Endeavor, this county, was again visited by a destructive lire that licked up a total of about ($25,000 worth of property, consisting mainly of tbe large band sawmill owned and oper ated by Georgia A Aylesworth, contract ors for Wheeler & Dusenbury In the manufacture of hemlock lumber, largely. Also the electric lighting plant lately in. stalled end which bad only recently got ten well established. On Thursday eve' ning, about 7:20 o'clock, workmen were engaged in the under part of the mill in repairing a belt, using an open mill lamp for lighting. It was necessary to go overhead on some errand and iu doing so the workman stepped on a loose board which sifted a quantity of fine sawdust down upon the lamp, causing an explo' sion and almost Instantly filling tbe lower part of tbe mill witb flames. Tbe alarm given by tbe mill whistle brought tbe men to tbe scene in an in credibly short time. Messrs. Wheeler & Dusenbury have equipped their property with tbe best possible fire fighting facili ties, and in almost less time than it takes to tell it three one-inch streams of water were playing on the flames through hose attached to two large pumps located near tbe upper mill and taking water from tbe pond, and from the Urge reservoir on the bill, lurnishing a pressure of 130 pounds. By means ot excellent and per sistent work the fire was confined to the one large building, and although sur rounded by other buildings and thous ands offset of partially seasoned lumber, no other property was burned. Tbe mill, which was erected in 1901, was a fine, modern structure, equipped with band saw, band resaw, edgers, trim mere, two planers, two engines, 180-horso power boiler, and the electric lighting plant. Tbe boilers, being enclosed in brick and masonry, are perhaps tbe only part of the machinery not totally ruined For a time tbe great sparks from the burning mill are said to have beeu ter ritlc, and men were stationed on roofs aud board pile!1 with water buckets ready to extinguish tbe falling embers which were a constant menace to surrounding property. In less than an- hour after starting, the fire was under control, and the people breathed easier. The loss to tbe mill owners is estimated at $20,000, on which there is an insurance of about (12,000. Tbe electrio lighting plant was owned by private citizens of the place, and their loss, between 2,000 and $3,000, is fairly covered by insurance Messrs. Wheeler A Dusenbury owned one of the planing machines and the band resaw, which were also fairly covered by insurance. Tbey also own and operate an extensive band mill lo. cated about 1,000 feet from theone burned, which tbey started up on double tour on Monday. The work of clearing up the debris of the burned property was begun on Mon day, and the owners expect to have a new mill in operation within ninety days. About 40 men were temporarily thrown out of employment by the fire, all of whom will find work, however, either in rebuilding, or on tbe other mill, which will run night and day duriug the next few months.

Mrs. Frances Wearbarn, pronounced Urban, died at tbe County Home, Thurs day evening, Feb. 22, 1900, after an ill ness lasting about six weeks, of hemor rhages, aged 56 years. The remains were taken to Marienville, where the funeral services were held in the Catholic church, Rev. Joseph Keegan officiating, on Sun day last. Tbe latter years in the life or this unfortunate but true lady had been peculiarly sad and pathetic. The tragic death of ber husband lu an accident on a sawmill in Jenks township, about 18 years ago, not long after arriving in this country from Germany, left ber alone and destitute, without kitb or kin in all this great land to whom she might turn for help or sympathy, yet she bravely struggled witb all her powers to maintain a livelihood. Kind friends to whom ber patbetio condition appealed most keenly ministered to boras best tbey could and for a long time succeeded iu keeping ber out of tbe "poor house," When finally it became necessary, to bring ber to the county home the dread of having ber body, soonor or later, transported to the dissecting table preyed greatly upon ber mind. But thanks to the generosity fo kind and sympathetic friends at Marien ville, ber mind was set at rest on this point, being assured that she should bave a Christian burial, and then the tried soul seemed to welcome the parting from earthly sorrow. At the home of Mrs. Cyrus F. Hunt, where the remains rested and were finally prepnred for burial, her casket was bedecked with beautiful flow ers, and many friends called to take a last look at tho kindly lace which at last bad found repose. In a lot provided by Mrs. Hunt, she was laid to rest in the quiet city of the dead. Peace to her ashes, A Mysterious Affair. Perry McCalmont, one of President's well known and highly respected citi zens, was a busineas visitor In town one day last week and gave the Republican office a friendly call. He related a pe culiar, and what may yet prove a start ling incident that came under tbe notice of himself and some uoigbbors on Tues day morning, the 201b inst. Tbey were nn their way to the election and were passing along the bank of tbe river when tbey discovered a man's track leading from tbe shore directly toward a large air-bole In the ice that bad washed out some time during tbe nigbt. Tbe water bad floated back some distance over tne solid ice, aud unless acquainted witb tbe peculiarity of such conditions one might walk through tbe water aud into tbe air hole without being aware of bis danger. Tbey followed the track almost to tbe very edge of the opening, and although searching carefully, were unable to dis cover where the person bad returned from his perilous predicament, or tbat be bad passed around tbe bole and reached the opposite sboie, and tbe conclusion was almost forced upon them tbat be bad gone too far and stepped Into the deep and rapid current. The track was a fresh one, having been made not to exceed two hours before. Inquiry failed to elicit any information as to any one having been seeu on the ice at that time, so the matter still remains a mystery as to what became of the pedestrian, and time ouly can reveal the facts. No one in that vi cinity has been reported as missing, but tbe man may bave been a stranger. The tracks were those of an ordinary sized nan's foot aud appeared as though be bad worn a rubber shoe, Tbe other wit nesses to this mysterious atlair were Alex McCalmont, Charles VauGiescn and Orrln Hill.
