A Georgia Reporter at a Fire.


Before the fire engine had reached the
scene, the flames were widely tossing their
devouring tongues far out aud above the
crown of the groan:ng building. 1t was too
late. His satanic majesty had whipped his
impetuous team into II pace at once too furious
and daring to be met and bridled, the fiery
glare of the flames had lit up the ground for
hundreds OF yards around and while the
great crowd stood in wondering awe, as the
seething furnace of fire and flame lashed and
dashed about in its roaring fury, the sudden
crash of the dismembered roof as it went
splitting and hurting its way to the ground,
told in unmistakable terms that the work of
destruction was complete. In few brief
moments more and nothing was left to mark
the site of r. w. Turner's store, Loss, 81 800.

THE CHRIST CHILD.
Religious Celebration Of the Anniversary Of
His Birth.
Fragrant Flowers and Evergreens Adom
the Atars
Christmas Services in the Catholic and Episcopal
Churches.
Excellent Music by the Choirs and Elo
quent Sermons by the Pastors.

The advent of Christmas day has a deep sig
nifcation in the religious world, for it an
nounccs the anniversary of the birth
of the Saviour of Mankind. In the
churches of the Catholic and Episcopal de-
nominations especially the observance of the
day is one of peculiar interest, and the joy
and gladness of the occasion is celebrated by
musical services elaborate in their character,
and for which the most careful preparation
has been made. In the Catholic churches the
; o'clock mass is celebrated with exceptional
musical exercises, second only TO the grander
mass at II o'clock. The first mass has, how
ever, u more crowded attendance than the
later ones, for the faithful can fulfill the re-
quirements of the church at that hour and de-
vote the balance of the day to their homes and
social dutias At all the Catholic churches
yesterday the early mass was crowded, not
only with the faithful, but with many Protes-
tants, whose curiosity or love for good music
led them to leave their beds and homes even
at that early hour.

WORK OF TIE POLICE.
One Hundred and Twenty-seven Arrests
Up to Midnight.

The police were kept busy yesterday and
last night and, although 127 arrests were
made, they were mostly drunlIs. No serious
affray took place, and the usual holiday mur-
der did not occur. The police kept their eyes
open, and many a weary pilgrim found rest
in II dark and lonesome cell until this morn
ing, when, with aching hearts and faces
flushed, they will either be set at liberty or
go before Judge SHELLS tribunal, from whence
no sinner turns back.
The streets were filled last night with
drunken men and boys but they confined
themselves either TO, staggering about the
sidewalk or fighting shy of the police. The

HOUSE AND SENATE OFFICERS.
Thompson, steedman, Hooker and Gorham
Two Candidates from the Same State.

Baltimore sun, Washington CorrespOndence
There are two candidates from the same
state for speaker of the next house of repre-
sentatives, and it is now announced that
there will be two candidates from the same
state for sergeant-at-arms of that body. Mr..
j. G. Thompson, of Ohio who was sergeant
alarms of the house during the six years of
democratic control, wants to get back to his
old position, but Gen. James B. Steedman is
also out as candidate. Gen. Steedman has
u fine war record he is one of the most prom
inent democrats of Ohio, and has the support
of the Cincinnati Enquirer and other powerful
influences. Mr.. Thompson's selection, it is
understood, would have some bearing upon
the question of the senatorial succession in.
Ohio, and further, will affect the question of
whom the Ohio democracy shall present as
their choice for the democratic nomination for
president. Mr.. Thompson is said to be work
ing in the interest of Senator Pendlcton, and
General Steedman is brought out now for
sergeant -at-arms of the next house by that
wing Of the Ohio democracy who are inimical
both to Senator Pendleton and ex-senator
Thurman. 1t is understood to be as good as
settled that Mr.. Hooker, the present sergeant
alarms of the house of representatives, will
be transferred to the same position on the
senate side after the fourth of March. He is
the candidate of Senator Edmunds, and there
appears to be no other candidate worthy of
mention in the field. So far as the position
of secretary of the senate after the fourth of
March is concerned it can be stated with per-
feet certainty that either Mr.. Shobcr, the act
ing secretary, will remain where he is or Mr..
Gorham will resume the place which he held
for ten years. There has been much talk
about dissatisfaction among some of the re-
publican senators over the candidacy of Mr..
Gorham, but there is good reason to believe
that there is nothing in it. Whether this be
so or not, however, it makes no difference.
Senators Malone and Riddleberger, of Vir-
ginia, will hold the balance of power, and it
is no secret that they have determined to vote
for no man to dispace lTr. Shober except Mr..

EPISCOPAL CuITRCuES.

In the Episcopal churches, except at those of
the Incarnation, st. PauPs, and the Holy
Cross, there was only the eleven o'clock
service, and generally the attendance was
good, although as participation in the SER
vice is not an essential requirement in
this denomination as it is in the Catholic sect,
the communicates were, not so numerous as
in those of the older church. In all the
churches there was great attention paid to
the musical portions Of the service, and the
various. choirs all acquitted themselves
in most creditable manner.

holy communion. The church not was very
elabOrately decorated, festOons of evergreen
stretching from the arches being principally
used The altar was filed in with mass of
scarlet flowers ms n background, relieved by
laurel and cypress. In the center on the
canopy was a star of glss gets. The church
was crowded at the morning service, the
President, his son and daughter, and many
other distinguished people being present Mr..
Leonard took for his text the following
verses: Emanuel which being Interpreted Is
God with u.s. ST. Matthew, i, %, And they
found the babe lying in mangGr," st. Luke,

texts signifed one thing, viz, that Jesus was

WARRINGTON, June 3-Contrary to expec-
pectation, the House discussion Of the Ala
bama election case was prolonged yester-
day. This morning Mr.. Wheeler finished
his speech and was followed by Mr.. Spring
er and Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan. Mr.
Springer offered resolution to recomWit
the report Of the committee, accompanying
the resolution with preamble stating that
many OF the papers and afidayits upon
which the report was founded were not le-
gally taken and completed. The preamble
was ruled out of order, but the resolution
was admitted and laid on the table.
Before this result was reached an angry
debate occurred, during which Mr.. Reed
declared that the preamble was a stump
speech worked in under cover of resolu-
ton, and that its delivery was therefore re-
ceived under false pretenses.
Mr.. Randall explained that others pre-
pared the preamble and that Mr.. Springer
merely read il. Mr.. Springer demanded
that MT. Reed Withdraw his words, which
the latter refused to do, adding that Mr..
Springer even got hfs resolution in under
false pretenses as IL was not the one he gave
notice early in the day he meant to. The
previous question was ordered and Mr..
Hazleton took the floor to close the debate.

of l49 yeas and 8 nays all the Democrats

they would only treat with their workmen

deal of attention. The Atchison, Topeka Il

schedule time of % hours between Kansas
City and Denver. The Kansas Pacific dlyl-
sion of the Union Pacific retaliates with
twenty hoar train, and now announces q
new through schedule, embracing not only
Denver but also Cheyenne, Ogden, and San
Francisco, beginning tomorrow. The trains
will leave Kansas City 9:45 4. NJ, reach Dem
yer at $50 n ", the actual running time
being 22 hours and 45 minutes. The same
train will reach Cheyenne at HIS P. NJ. or
27ES hours, connecting with the overland
train for San Francisco. A similar record
is made to the east trains, which will leave
CHEYENNE after the arrival of the overland
express at 8 p. ", leave Denver at 1880 A.
NJ. and arrive ut Kansas City 5:45 r NJ. next
day, making the time from Denver to Kan
sas City in 30 hours and Is minutes. The
Missouri Paeihe threatens to make hot
fight now, and bring about even faster
time. The Burlington will soon begin its

lively factor in the fight. As yet there has
been no cutting of rates.
