Set On Fire

[Marshall] Texas Republican, July 28, 1860

The Paris Press of the 21st says that the house of Dr. W. W. Stell was set on fire, by one of his negro women, (who has acknowledged the deed,) on the night of the 16th inst., and was consumed with all its contents—furniture, books, &c.—except two trunks. The loss, we are told, is not less than $4000. What next?
