The suit of C. E.'Greene against con- siaDie urqunart, tried Saturday, was taken under advisement until this morning by Justice Davis, at which time it was decided in favor of .the defendant. The alarm of fire yesterday e was caused by a burning chimney on the residence of Mr. John Michell, editor v of the Times-Mountaineer. It may have keen all right, but it looks to ua like a put up job by brother Michell, as an extra inducement to Santa Claua. V No damage wasdone.

Mr. Andrew Keller, the confectioner, has a beautiful display of Christmas goods in his line. Fancy candies, in endless varieties, cakes plain and orna mental, and the thousand of things "just too sweet" make up the outlay. Rem ember the little folks will want candy and they all like Keller's. Yesterday .afternoon" between 4 and 5 o'clock, Thomas N. Joles died at the residence of his brother in this city. The news was a shock to the community, a3 his death was sudden and unexpect ed. Mr. Joles has not been in good health for some time, having had a very severe spell of sickness last summer, from which he never entirely recovered ; but yet he was able to attend to his business, and was apparently regain ing his health. The first report was that he had taken a dose of carbolic acid by mistake. This report was caused by the fact that Mr. Joles, a few moments before the fatal attack, had put some carbolic acid on his lips, which were chapped, mis taking it for salve. This, of course, had nothing to do with his death. He had gone to his room shortly after dinnerf and had . been there but a short time when he was seized with a choking spell. Dr. Logan was sent for, but by the time he arrived the end was reached, and with a gasp or two, the spirit of the stricken man took flight. No autopsy was held, but-the doctors agree that death was caused by fatty degeneration of the heart. The funeral takes place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Method ist church, under the direction of the A. O. TJ. W. order, of which he was an honored member. Deceased came here from Geneseo, Illinois, about twelve years ago, and has been in business nearly ever since that time. At tbe time of his death he was eenior member of the firm of Joles, Col lins & Co., one of the leading business houses of the city. He was a member of the city council at the time of his death, a position he had held for several years, and was energetic and conscien tious in the discharge of his duties. He was unmarried, aged 35 years, and will be-sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends. Besides being a Workman, de ceased was also a member of Columbia Lodge, I. O. O. F., of Mt.
