5Jffefsoo City, Mo."r Feb.; Tne
Missouri capitol building was destroyed
by fir Sunday night, : Man J of the
records of tbe Governors an fther
State offices are lost. ' V , . s ,
Tb total loss including the structure
and many records and State; papers' in
the offices of the' Goyernw, Secretary
of State and Treasurer is estimated at
one million dollars with no insurance. .
Lightning, which Btruck the cupola
of the dome shortly after 7 o'clock.
spread the flames to the roof of the.
Hopse-of Representatives oo the north
side of th structure, t and ia less than
half an hour it was apparent tharf'the
building was doomed . - 4
Lecauee of the ' inadequacy of the
water pressure the fire could not be
eached, "and ho aid could be given
for. some time by the local fire com-
pany. . - : . ., ,
Governor Hadlev directed the fieht
against the flames,' which because of
the age of the building, rapidly gained
great headway. The penitentiary fire
department was called and the convicts
worked heroically,- scaling walls and
taking dangerous chances for their
lives. -N K
The' local military company wascall-
ed out and formed a cordon around the
building, drivinz puectalors ftom dan
gi rous positions and rc moving records
Irom il.e differeiit State Depart merit'.
The fire Boon piT3'd to the. roof of
therrmte chamber, whore the efforts
of the tirement .preyed unavailing to
check it. . . ' .
The records of the House of Repre
sentatives were destroyed, while those
of The S nate were saved. In the State
Treasurer's office more than$20,000 is
in the time vault, supposedly fire proof
and may be saved when the debris is
cleared away. There was no insurance.
The capitol was erected in 1838 at a
cost of $350,000. and in 1887 remodled
at a cost of 125,000, While it was built of
stone the roof was covered with much
inflammable material.
The legislature will determins wheth
er to continue its. session; here or else
where in the State'. Thb loss of the
House recdrdls pratically necessitates
the work of the ( regent session being
done over.

ipresiding.,. The first week's session
will beXaken up witfcrthe trial of crini-i
inal eases while the second week's ses
sion will be deyoted ttf the civil eases.
of which there is quite a large docket
At the opening of court yesterday
morning the following grand jury, yai
drawn: W. B. Blades, forsmsn; D. H.
Gaskins,' S. W. Latham, H. D. Gas-'.
kins, R..M. White, J. E Warren, J. &
Fulcher, ' G.- W Joyaer, N. T. Whit
ford, O. McLawhorn, L. C. Ipock, D.
E. White, Weeks Ipock, J. O. Robin
son,.J. B. Griffin, Joseph Edwards,
Drew Dixon and R. O. Godley. After
the jury had been drawn tbe judge de
livered hia charge to them in a very
brief but forcible manner. After this
they retired to their room snd the 'Tegu
lar routine of the day's work was begun
All through the day the , court room
was packed with spectators who
thought that the cases against the near
beer dealers who are charged with sell
ing whiskey would be called and that
they Would get a glimpsa bf the mystery
ious 'Jchn Doe," In this however
they were disappointed. Although
"Mr. Doe" made his identity known to
rth grand jury the spectators in the
room shove would not have been able
to pick him out of a crowd of six men.
Kills in these cases have not yet been
turned by the grand jury but this will
doubtless be done today.
The case of Eronius Moye, one of the
negroes who assisted in conducting a
wholesale robbery at the hardware
store of the Cutler Blades Hardware Co
Company and the Basnlght Hardware a
few weeks ago was called but owing to
the fact that all of the witnesses were
not present this ease was continued un
til today r The prosecution has much
incriminating evidence in their posses--
a on in this case and the defendant will
doubtless be found guilty of the crime
with which he is charged' and, be sen
tenced to a long term in the. peniten-
I tjary or on the county roads.

out Tbe watch was left in the safe on
one of these occasions snd Tripp stole
it and went to Washington where he
was apprehended and bi ought back to
New Bern and placed in jail,"
Reuben Fenderson. , colored, plead
guilty to a charge Of assault and waiv
ed examination. ; Judgement was sus
pended upon the payment of the cost of
the case and payment of the plaintiff's
doctor bills.
Stephen Johnson, colored, plead guil
ly to the chsrge-ef abandoning his wife
and judgment was suspended, upon the
payment of the cost but the defend-!
