DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Burning of the American Bank
As.5. Block insHallowell.
LOSS OVER $4,000.

AUGUSTA, March 25.-The upper stories of
Masonic Block, Hallowell, were sbadly dam
aged by fire about $50 O'Clock this morning.
The upper story was used as a hall by the Ma
sons and the floor underneath was occupied by
III. Blake, attorney at law, and a dressmaking
establishment. The ground floor on the side,
occupied by Minot Robinson, dry goods, was
burned and the other part occupied by the
American National bank was damaged by wa
ter. The total loss will probably not exceed
$1,000. Partially insured.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT
At about o'clock Thursday morning an
alarm OF fire was sounded at Hallowell and
soon it became evident that the American Ma
tional bank building, in the second story of
which the fire was discovered. would be utter
ly destroyed. The wind was blowing gale
from the northwest and before the engines
could be placed in position for effective service
the fire had made rapid Roadway, completely
enveloping Masonic Hall, in the third story of
the building and threatening the destruction
not only of the bank building but adjacent
blocks. By the almost superhuman efforts of
the fire department, assisted by citizens gener-
ally, the fire was confined to the bank block,
though all the stores in the immediate vicinity
were cleared of goods. A steam fire engine
arrived from Augusta in season to aid in pre-
venting the spread of the fire and quenching
the smoking ruins. The block will indebted
ly be rebuilt at once. AS near as we can as
certain the loss may be estimated as follows:
On building 5000; furniture and fixtures of
bank, $1,000: Minard Roberts, on stock, about
| $1,000; DR.. j. 7. Chase, $500; Herbert Blake,
| law library and Office furniture, 500; Masonic
lodge, $500; .Chapter, $1,000; Council, $500
Total by rough estimate, $12 200. The goods
of Messrs. Warner, johnson and Atkins were
moved, involving a loss of damage of severa
| thousand dollars. The Masonic fraternity lose
all their records from 1886 to the present time
| also all their regalia, SC. The surrounding
buildings were but little damaged though tho
danger was imminent. There was an insu
rance on the bank building to the amount O
| $3C0O Roberts has 81, 900; Blake, $500; Mason
ic fraternity, $3.50; Warren, dry goods Sc,
600; johnson, groceries, LOO; Atkins, boot
and shoes, $3.50; DR.. Chase, no insurance.

Cincinnati Much Alarmed.

CINCINNATI, March "a. = Cincinnati was
alarmed to-day by the publication of dispatches
from Washington stating that Chairman Bar
mum, of the National Democratic Committee,
would at once issue call for a meeting Of tho
full committee to select another city for the
National Convention, unless the city authori-
ties revoked certain orders relative to the
erection of telegraph poles to Music Hall. The
local Western Union manager reported to the
general manager in New York that, with the
present facilities it would be impossible to do
presswork for the convention, and that the
city authorities refused to allow more poles to
be erected. These facts were presented to Mr..
Barnum, and his threat to remove the conven-
ton will give the Western Union Co. much
desired lever to force the erection of more tele-
graph poles in the streets. This is believed to
have been the real purpose of the fuss. The
Western Union claims that the American
Union and Bell Telephone Co. have been
given privileges in this direction denied to it
self. The Board of Aldermen this afternoon
authorized the erection of more poles, and the
Board of Public Works will promptly concur.

NO Mortal Combat" Probable.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Kellogg
says there is not a particle of foundation for
the published statements that he had intimated
a purpose of challenging Senator Hill of
Georgia to "mortal combat He says he
had never thought of such a thing, much less
had he said anything of the kind. Senator
Hill said he had not received any intimation
of a call to settle the matter under the code,
and the manner in which he talked about it
indicated that he did not expect anything of
the sort. He said the purpose of Kellogg was
to direct attention from the case against the
latter's seat in the Senate; that it was sought
to make it appear that he (HilD was waging a
personal warfare against Kellogg. "It is not
my report" continued Mr.. Hill, ''it is the re-
port of the Democrats on the elections COM
mittee, and some of them were more urgent
than was for the case to be brought up.''

Blackburn and Coffroth Almost Come to
Blows.
New YORK, March ga Washington de-
spatch says scene occurred during last nights
session on the floor of the House, which would
have resulted in personal encounter between
Messrs Blackburn of Kentucky, and Coffroth
of Pennsylvania, had not friends of the gem
tlemen interferred. Throughout the pending
contest the Pennsylvania Democrats have
steadily co-operated with the Republicans in
reaching vote on Mr.. McLane's proposition
to refer Mr.. Townshends bill to the committee
of ways and means This detection of the
Pennsylvania Democrats incensed Mr.. Black
bnrn, and during one of the roll calls, while
sitting in his seat conversiug with Mr.. Coffroth
he denounced the Pennsylvanians in the most
emphatic terms, charging that the Democrats
from that state had never been of any service
to the Democratic party, and that Speaker
Randall was traitor to his party. This irri
tated Mr.. Cotfroth, who repelled Blackburn s
insulting language aud concluded by inform
ing him that Randall was not traitor to his
party and had never been traitor to his coun-
try, as he (Blackburn) had been. This point
ed rebuke caused Blackburn to spring to his
feet, and assuming belligerent attitude he
pronounced Mr.. Coffroth liar, in tone of
voice that was distinctly heard in the CALLER
les. Friends rushed between the gentlemen
and thus prevented a disgraceful melee on the
floor of the House.
