A little more than a month ago J. B; Douthit, state liquor commissioner, was dis missed under disgraOe: by the board of control by a vote of 3 to 5s. There was laik by the majority of having criminal proceeaings begun by the attorney gen- eraL he charges were selling eoutra- U j u i band liquor and changing labels of goods sent from the dispensary, making it sell for more than it was worth at that time. Douthit was allowed 15 mirwites to clear himself. Don hit employed counsel and ob tained an order from Judge Aldrich di recting the board to give him a trial. After several postponements, occasioned by the wounding of J. Ludley Haselden ac oeaers, tne Doara met yesterday to try the case. Haselden was one of the majority who ousted Douthit. Thursday night at a secret meeting he offered resolu tions withdrawing the charges and re ferred the matter to .the legislature. The board would not agree to this. Yes terday when the case was called, with out raking testimony, the board, by a vote of '6 to 1, Haselden standing alone, vindicated Douthit, who retains his po sition. . The inference of the extraordinary action is that those who.foilowed Hasel den formerly, since the breastplate revelations have decided that it is good politics to go the opposite way.

Two negroes are being held on suspi cion of having committea the crime. Mrs. Pottle was well known all over the state, and was related to prominent people. PORTER ATTACKS' WYMAN.

Porter, state health officer, who has arrived here from Miami, is very indig nant over the statements in Secretary Gage's report covering Dr. Wyman's criticisms of the management of the yellow fever epidemic at Miami this fall.

H'? asserts that the epidemic there had its snurce in a vessel from Uuba which had been disinfected by. an agent ot "the marine nast.tai service, wno iiaa . yel low lever within cue week after, and asserts that he will at the proper time produce proofs that the msriue hospital Eervice is mi?rnnas;ed and inefficient.

The Kind You Haw Always Bought Bears the Signature of fctfTTlSH SUFFER A DEFEAT. 81k Hundred of Gatacre's Men In the Hands of the Boers. London, Dee. The war office is informed that General Gatacre has met with a serious reverse at Stormberg. It is expected to prove the most serious de feat British arms have yet sustained in the whole campaign. - Already the official advices show that two men were killed, nine officers and 17 men were wounded and nine officers and 696 men are missing. But it is evi dent that the worst is not yet known. The proportion of wounded and killed ig so small when compared with the missing who are undoubtedly prison ers in the hands of the Boers that the supplementary list of casualties is awaited with serious misgivings. inrom the advices at hand it appears that General Gataore left Putters Kraal by train for Molteno and then proceeded by forced march 12 miles toward Storm berg. He had 2.000 men. moluding the Northumberland fusiliers, the Royal Irish rifles and two batteries of field ar tillery. The British were unmolested by the Boers until the Boer position was reached, when a hot fire was unex pectedly opened upon the advancing column. The engagement began at 4: IS a. m. At 7 a. m., after a sharp artillery" duel, the British retreated. General Gatacre found the enemy a position impregnable. It was impossi ble for the British infantry to get at the Boers. LARGE BLAZE IN AUGUSTA. Million Dollars Worth of Property Reduced to Ashes. Augusta, Ga., Dec 11. This city was yesterday visited by the most disastrous fire in its history. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000. How the blaze originated ho one knows. It was discovered in the heart of J. R White's big drygoods house and spread rapidly to adjoining buildings. The Central hotel property was razed to the ground. Nothing remains, but the front wall on Broad street with its empty and smokebe grimed windows. The Masonic hall has only the front wall standing to mark its site, and but a fragment of the outside walls of the Arlington hotel on the front and on Jackson street mark the place where Augusta's best hotel stood. Schneider s corner is smoked and scarred, but not destroyed, though it is probable the gutting of the rear of the building will mean that it will give way to one far handsomer in its place. At the other end of the burnt district the Dorr building is partly gutted and badly damaged in the rear, but is prac tically intact in front. 4 MINERS ARE IN SESSION.

The convention is expected to adopt resolutions condemning the Knights of Labor and a long drawn out fight be tween the two orders is expected- Master Workmon O Keefe of the Knights of Labor says that' if the United Mine workers in Alabama lnon- gurate war on hk organization he will toake it a national conflict - Seaboard Unification Plane.
