The big saw mill of Frank Rigles-| berger & Sons, at 1320 South Third} street, was destroyed by fire shortly before 4 o'clock this morning. Aaron Rogers, the colored watch- man, discovered the flames and sent inthe alarm. Both the department} from Central and the South Side sta- tions under Chief Voight and Assist- ant Chief Billy Augustus, were soon on the scene, but the mammoth structure was a mass of flames, and Fiscal court | forenoon at the county court house to complete the details of the gravel road purel All the magistrates were present except Justice Barnett, with County Judge Tully presiding. The minutes of yesterday's meet- ing were read and approved. It was ordered by unanimous vote that the respective gravel roads be placed in charge of the magistrate of the district, who is to act as super- intendent, attend to all repairs, ete., until the July term of court, It was also ordered that all the roads be opened on or before May convened again this | getable all told in the balance of Padu- Harbour’s O, the bedutiful new Millinery that's here! bought special for this week's selling.

Watchman Rogers says the fire started near the boiler toom, but he is likely mistaken, a8 this portion is less burned than any other part, and several barrels of oil near by were preserved intact. The concensus of opinion is that the fire started in the blacksmith department. A strong wind was blowing from the Northwest, and this is 1 that saved the planing department. The sparks were blown in a perfect shower of blazing brands into. the extensive lumber yard, howeyer, and all that prevented its destruction was the dampness of the lumber, which was thoroughly soaked by yesterday's rain. The saw mil! burned to the ground, and the crash of beavy machinery acd the fall of the big smoke stac! awoke many people for blocks around, and gave them their first in- timation of the conflagration, De- spite the cutting wind there were many spectators on thé scene. At7 o’clock some of the timbers were still burning, but all danger was past. Before 7 o’clock the workmen be- gan to arrive, and their surprise and sorrow was great. It meant perhaps much hardship and — suffering to them and their families to be thus deprived in such a summary, unex- pected manner, of tLeir means of livelihood. Few of them knew any- thing about the fire until they reach- ed the mill. About thirty-five were thus thrown out of employment, tem- porarily, at least. Mr. Joe Riglesberger estimates the loss to be no less than $20,000, which is covered by insurance in three or four different compapies. The destruction of the say mfll does} not effect the, piamtng “mill, which } was operdted as usual today. As yetit is not known whether the saw mill will be reouilt or not, bat the supposition is that it will as the remainder of the plant would be practically useless without it Within the past year or gore’s He: YY, De Veneering Works and the Wheel and tock Works have been destroyed by | except the last named have been rebuilt. ‘The structure destroyed was erect- in 1889, and was one of the best in this end of the state. Chief Voight thinks that the fire originated in the saw room up stairs, and is confident that it did not start near the boiler room. It was report- ed to him that the watchman was yon the boiler when the prox imity of the tlames awoke him. Officer Joe Ullman turned in the first alarm this morning from Third and Adams, There was but $4,000 insurance on the buiding, with Hummel Bros. , and Mr. Abe Weil, It is thought this afternoon that the floss will not 10th and as fost as they are paid for and the deeds properly acknowledged, the preside cf the various com- panies are to be notified to cease the collection of toll. The toll to be gates ure then disposed of by County Judge Tully as prescribed by law, which is that the original owner of the land is to be given the refusal of them, This is because the law compels a person to sell such property to the gravel road compa- pies for toll gate purposes, and very often it detracts from the value of property to cut a block out of it in this manner. It is probable that the Cairo and Hinkleville roads will be opened this afternoon or tomorrow, and the indi- open in a few days. EXCURSIONS RETURN, They Are Well Pleased With Their Trip. Lett On their Return to C! at Noon Today. hree Chicago ts, composed almost en- tirely of school teachers, returned to Paducah on the Clyde this morning en route home from a trip up the Tennessee river to Elorence. Mr. Thos. Scholer, of Rand, Me- Nally & Co., who was in charge, ex- pressed himself as being well pleased with the trip, and said be voiced the sentiments of every one else who went up. The boat officers were most ind and rieous, and the crowd was especially pleased with what 1! experienced of Kentucky hospitality While in the city this morning they visited many of the churches and “ther places of interest. They left on the 12:10 train at noon for home.

In the case of the garnet and topaz the change is more rapid than in that of the ruby and sapphire, but there is a curious difference in the result in topaz and garnet; for, while the latter grows lighter, the former appears to become cloudy and dull in hue, Josing much of the brightness characteristic of a newly- cut gem. For ages the opal has had the unen- viable reputation of being the most unlucky of gems, and it is believed that the jewels themselves are originally re- sponsible for many of the superstitious storiesconnected with the ce tothe polishers and setters say it is oneof the most troublesome ¢ on their list. Microtonists say that the prismatic colors and fire of the opad are due to myriads of minute cracks in the body of the stone, the edges of which reflect the light and give the hues so much ad- mired.
