W. Swetman as a drug store, wua sleeping apartments on the second floor. oecunled by his family, and to rapidly did the flames eat their way that the family were only aDie to rapiuiy gaiuer a few garment of clothing and make their escape. Another portion of this building on the first floor wa occnpled by John W. as an oyster saloon.

Adjoining the Swetman building, and on the west, the fire quickly communicated to -the engine room Mecnaal'M1 Coinp.inv, and from that to ine Masonic Opera lloue. a large frame structure. Continuing on its course west on Pass Christian street, the two buildings owned by John Eisterter, one occupied by J. H. Murphy as a blacksmith shop, and Ihe other by P.

Farrar as a lunchhouse, were consumed, as was also the tin shop belonging to Dan Markey, and a small residence, both in the rear, and owned by John Eistctter. Crossing Magnolia street, the storehouse and 'I ig of Miss St. Tuall was soon in ds-bes. The fire in Its eastern course was checked with tho burning of the market-house of Felix liorries, by the most desperate and heroic work on the part of the firemen anl citizens. Beforo this time, however, buildings were burning in all directions, and It looked as if the larger portion of the city would be consumed before the wrjth of the Aery monster was appeased.

Opposite the opera house the large two-story business house and dwelling of S. Picard was In flamed, and the flying cinders and the Intense heat almost Immediately ignited the residence of K. M. Dukate on the east, and a cottage on Magnolia street owned by v.iSwdica and occupied by F. AV.

Eaton. With the destructiou of the last named building, the flames were checked oa Magnolia street, although the house south of it, occupied by T. E. Collins, was badly scorched. On the south side of Tass Christian street, the residence of Mrs.

Rich and a small building adjoining, occupied as a candy store were being rapidly reduced to asbe, only to be followed in quick succession by the building coeupled by Joseph Lawrence as a shoe ehop, and the barber shop of J.

One wjls without a tenant and the others were occupied by Sing Lee, laundry; II. Elkel, merchant tailor, and Mrs. Ohr, groceries. The fire in this direction was checked at the building owned by Mrs. Amare and occupied by Keel Jennett, grocers.

This building was damaged to the extent of about $100, and it seemed at times beyond the power oz Human beings to save the and it was only by a most superhuman effort that the flames were checked at this point. The destruction of this building wo aid have been aurely followed by oris of nvinj-more, and with this appalling fact t.uing them in the face, the firemen worked with redoubled vigor and until -their hands and tLVs were scorched end. blistered by the devouring element.

In many instances this was found I 1 to De unnecessary, xiouaeuum nc piled helter-skelter In every direction, and when daylight came the scene presented cannot be described. Hie area of tlie fire covers a large por tion of four squares in the heart of the city, and as the buildings destroyed were all of wood there was but little resistance to the flames. A survey of the burned district shows the destruction of twenty-seven buildings, aggregating a loss, with their contents, estimated at $73,000.

An Affidavit Filed Against Walker by Setton and Facundus for Carrying Concealed Weapons. Enjene Walker. Centerville. Oct. 12.

(Special, The case against Eugene Walker end Ed Johnson for shooting Walton Facundus, at SpringAeid, on July 29 last, Is. at an end, at least temporarily. This morning at 10 o'clock the Jury reported to the court that they could not agree and were discharged. The accused were released on their bonds until the next term of court, which convenes In April. They left for Springfield this afternoon.

This Is quite a blow to tho Facunduses and Settoons, for tho reason that it will permit Walker and Johnson to testify in the case against Charles Facundus and S. Settoon, who will be tried at the next term for shooting Walker. Hid the accused been convicted, as convicts they would not have been permitted to testify. This, in a measure, accounts for their activity In prosecuting Walker and Johnson, as evidenced by their employing counsel. Messrs.

Sentell and 'McKenzIe, to assist the state. All Interested desired to have the whole business cleared up at this term of court. but there was so much business of Im portance, the main portion of which was the case just concluded, that the court had to continue it, as it was necessary to conclude the to-morrow (Saturday), in order to begin a new term in another parish within the legal time. The outcome of the case was the source of much satisfaction, not only to the accused, but to many others, for the general sentiment seemed decidedly in favor of Walker. The whole vase hinged on whether Walker had a resonable apprehension of danger to himself when, Wulcon Facundus started to his brother's assistance.

There was, of course, only Mr. Walker's own testimony to prove that, supported in a measure by tbe evidence ot the surrounding circumstances. As to these. some very divergent tesJmony was given. Mr.

Walker testified that he told Walton Fucnndus to rand still and he would not be hurt. He said it in an ordinarv tone, yet some of the witnesses for Mie swore that they heard hkn toll Famndus "to go, and he went," while others, at the same distance. teitMfipci th-t r. tr. impossible for them to hear what was said.

on Sunday, Ju'y 20, 1804 (the day of the shooting.) Judge Robert J. Reld, -who presided over the case, did so In manner to satisfy all sides. His rnlings were manifestly fair to each side, neither being allowed an advantage over the other at any stage of the proceedings. THE CONCLUDING TESTIMONY. Following la the testimony heard yesterday: Thnrsday In When court opened Mv ReW gain preset-red his motion to strike out all the testimony against Johnson, on the ground that the court had ruled out all testimony relative to the first shooting scrape, and as the alleged handing of the gun took place before Walton.

Facundus appeared on the scene, and, therefore, Johnson had taken -no part In the difficulty between Walker and Walton Facundus. Mr. Reld argued the Justice of his motion, talking to the point, and showing that the court was on one of the horns of a dilemma, having raled In one way. despite the objection of defendant, there was no alternative but to strike out the testimony of Johnson. Edwards and Sentell argned against the motion, the latter claiming that if the court ruld out that testimony the state could not iaVe "it a cns.

Charles Facundus had gone towards the house of his brother, and witness sur- mlsed what he was going there for. While going in that direction saw Charlie Facundus coming out of hl gate, and wfeen Chartie saw witness coming with the shotgun he went oacs luiue ot his gate. Then witness saw him shoot et him with the ritte. and witness got behind a tree to protect himself.

Then he looked towards Henry, Smith house and saw Walton Facundus tlng to them, und Henry Smith was pointing to witness. Thea there was another shot, and witness cursed Charlie Facundus and told him to Bhoot again. Then Walton Facundus came up and said he was not armed and witness told him to stand there und he would not be hurt. Just then the rlfl in Charlie Facundua hands snSnned and Walton Facundus started Scro- the- field. Witness had again cursed Charley Facundus and told him to shoot again.

Then witness saw Wa.ton Facundus running and shot him. Shot him because he knew that he was good shot, and ww going over to help i brother-out. He knew that, because if Walton was running to get away from him he would have run in the direction from which he had come, and not towards his own house. Charlie Facundus bod gotten behind the corner of his house after the last cartridge snapped. Charlie Facundus shot witness.

Shell and Doudy Settoon were present. No one else wa there during the shooting. When, the shooting was over, they ran up the road." Witness, running after Char.le: Facnndns. turned to his Then witness ran. after Settoon and told him that he was responsible for it.

KneT that Walton ted a rifle. Knew that Walton and Charlie did not live together. Witness then said that he suffered some from the wound in the side, bnt otherwise there was no inconvenience.

Settoon said: "You're mistaken.

And then there was close con suit a non or tne state attorneys and Mr. VXi-wards wanted Walton Facundus recalled. Judge Kemp objected, because he had been In the courthouse all the time after his testimony. f' Than i I wiwuu Vl the sUtnd In rebuttal. Did not serf any men in Shank's field just before the shooting of Walton Fa- uvi.

mrt? an over ine field. On the part of the field' where Walton Facundus was shot witness could see no one. CouM have seen them if there had been anybody there. When Walton Facundus was approaching Mr. Walker, near Mr.

Smith's bouse, he did not approach with his hand In his pocket, as if to draw a pistol. Here the objection of the state to the introduction of evidence about the first shooting acted mw-a sort of boomerang, when they tarted to ask Settoon if he had handed Facundus the pistol to shoot Walker. Above it will be seen that thA defonae vnt around the ruling of the court bv hearing Walker testify to his conversation with Settoon, which bronght ont the fact they desired, and the court admitted It because it had allowed Settoon previously to testify to this conversation. The state next brought in Eugene Set toon. who said he saw no other persons in Shank's field, and could have seen them if they bad been there.

The state then closed, and the argument was begun by District Attorney Bolivar Edwards. Each side wars given tnree nours. District Attorney Edwards began fbrl the state by reading the law. and ar gulng from that point. Judge B.

D. Kemp followed for the defense, i and then Mr. J. D. McKenzIe, of the assistant prosecution, made a very dramatic argument, the.

main feature of which was an attack 04 the testimony of Miss Alice Johnson. Among other very severe things he said was that he would not believe Miss Johnson under oath, mn tho-.

Sentell responded with an) .1.1. wKIaI, Hlliwl with casm, and very emphatic His main ar-gument was that the jury should not cotsider Mr. Walker's courage, displayed on the field of battle, and in reasoning 2 it out he tried to belittle It by showing Walker had ehot Facundus down in cold blood, while the latter. was running from him. and on this theme his vials of' sarcasm were let' loose against "chlv-' Mr.
