Residence On Jackson Plantation Destroyed By Fire.

A telegram was received this morning from Gloster, Miss., stating that the residence on the Jackson plantation near there had been destroyed by fire a few nights ago and that the owner is in a critical condition as a result of the fire. There was no insurance. The message does not state whether any oi the other buildings were destroyed, but it is probable they were, as they were located not far from the house which was burned. This is the plantation that had been purchased under contract by Leslie Clark, and under the circumstances the deal is apt to fall through. The residence was a fine one of the colonial style and would cost to replace $4,000 or $5,000. This is a great disappointment to Mr. Clark as it is the second plantation he had bargained for, the first one in Louisiana being, sold by the owner unknown to the Agents who sold the property to Mr. Clark.
