The fire was discovered by Mr. John Swearlnger, who had erected a refreshment booth near the Floral started in the south J ® grandstand. The fair grounds are remote from any build ing, and the telephone not having placed on the grounds, assis tance could not be summoned in time to save anything. Mr. Swearing- er gave the alarm. • which was heard by Mr. W. C. Timmons, who lives some distance south ot the grounds. Mr. Timmons hurried to the grounds and assisted Mr. Swear- mger to save some of his belonging, borne one in town seeing the blaze turned in an alarm from box 24— Myers and Third streets. The i men responded. Chief Wallace lo cated the blaze as being at the fair grounds. The department made the run, but as the distance is two miles, and as there is no water near by, the buildings could not be saved. The firemen ran 2,000 feet of hos8» but to no avail.

This he succeeded in doing. Floral hall was in flames within a very short time and the hundreds of spectators who had gone to the scene could do nothing but stand by and see the big buildings burn. Two refreshment booths near the hall were also burned. One, as stated, belonged to Mr. Swearingen, the other to the ladies of the Church Street Methodist church. The former's loss was about |100. The latter, |50. A lot of edibles had been stored in the booths. Ex-Chief Orr heard the alarm, of 9ourse, as he still has a call bell in his house, but as 24 rang in, and he had no special interest in that section, and being very tired, he did not get up, until >frs. Otto discovered the reflec tion to the south. That he lost no time in getting out, goes without say ing. He was powerless, as were the flremen, to save the buildings. Origin Unknown.

C., is in jail here charged with the murder of William A. Abbott, a printer in this city, in September, 1879. Abernathy’s arrest is the result ot a life-long search for the man who murdered his brother by George Abbott, of this city. William Abbott was shot and his body placed on the tracks of the Southern railway, and ground to pieces by a passing train. That it was murder was estab lished by the fact that the fragments of the body picked up immediately after being run over were cold and stiff.

To the Public: The destruction by flre of the two large buildings. on the grounds of .the Mecklenburg Fair Association—the grandstand fronting the race track and the floriJ hall facing the midway —has given rise to tbe question as to whether the fair next week would be ccHitinued or not. In reply the directors desire to state that the fair will be opened Tuesday and continued as originally planned with the exception of the ex hibits that have heretofore had places in oral^hall consisting of ladles’ fancy work, painting, art, pantry supplies and fa,rto products, and the poultry ex hibit beneath the grandstand.

P60GRES8 OF THE DiY IN TRim or MGMMIIRIIS Gis mm By Associated Press. New Orleans, La., Oct. 21.—^Frost, freezing temperatures, snow and sleet in the extreme west of the belt put the price of cotton futures a dollar a bale higher than yesterday’s close on the opening this morning. The ring was excited and shorts made strenuous efforts to cover to avoid further pun ishment. On the call the trading monthe were 1 7to 23 points up. Im mediately after the most active deliv eries were 23 to 24 points up. For several days the ring has been nervous over prospects of colder wea ther. This morning the weather map showed something approaching a bliz zard over Oklahoma and North Texas and 'prtvate reports told of snow and freezing In several counties of both states. While important cotton coun ties weie not touched* it was feared that the storm and cold would extend over the- cotton region generally ;and thla-fear the' official forecast, confimed in a great measure. A conalderable amount of long cot ton harf been accumulated on predic tions of frost during the week and profits were taken on a portion of this on the Initial rlM which resulted in sKsving 10 to 14 points front the aa- vance. On this reaction buying started uiew nd the mf^ket again had an ad- Y«aci^ tendency. Los Angeles, Cal.. Oct. Zl.r—Some thirty, veniremen rejoio^ today at their liberty out of doors instead > of “captivity” under the care of baili^ In the McNamara niurder case. Agreement of opposing counsel to proceed in examining talesmen with out a full jury box enabled Judge Bordwell to excuse all veniremen not already in the box until opening ol the court Monday morning and only the six talesmen left at the conclusion of court yesterday were under re straint today. The defendant, James B. McNamara was visited by his attorneys who dls- cusMd the situation with him. They also saw John J. McNamara, brother of - James, and secretary of the Inter national Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers. To his brother the defendant talks much about the proceedings and each day a transcript of the preceding day’s tes timony goes to the jail for the older man to consider. The examination of^the jury, oppos ing counsel conceded today, is devel oping along lines not entirely In ac cord with expectations. Although the defense announced weeks ago its be lief that a fair trial could be had, the after state of mind professed by jurors toward the defendant and generally to ward the whole situation has been a source of surprise. An exception in this connection was Talesman E. J.

She did not, however, she declares, identify the photograph of J. B. McNamara as that of the man she knew as Williams. “I did sign a statement for the de- testives,” Mrs. Munsey continued, “and I remember everything that was in the statement—and it is all true." “It is true,” added Mrs. Munsey, “that I was coerced into signing the statement.” Police Continue Iheir Search Far Evidence—Many Clues , Are Being Followed Up-^h Cool and Reticent in Hii Cell Special to The News.
