days steady rain, which ceased last night,
filling the streets with mud and drenching
the decorations, the reception oiLord Bal
timore and the parade OF the military,
whion was to have taken place Tuesday
night last, came of tonight. Previous to
the storm the buildings along the line OF
march had been beautifully and layishly
decorated, many with expensive materials,
among which were the newspaper Offices.
Up to Tuesday many thousands had AZ
rived in the city, whose patience had been
sorely tried by the iain and the postpone
ment. The streets and windows and
balconies were crowded from early
this afternoon. The steamer con.
veying Lord Baltimore and suite
arrived at the wharf at $50
and was welcomed by the screaming OF
whistles from a hundred tug boats. After
the line Of procession formed it marched in
Eve divisions up Broadway 10 Baltimore, to

lion In Georgia.
FoRsYTHE, GA, September ia little
after l o'clock this morning fire broke
out in the Monroe idwrliser building, and
Thomas's warehouse and other business
houses connected Herewith weredestroyed.
The office OF the Monroe Adrettiscr was
completely destroyed, not even paper be-
ing saved. The fire was Of incendiary
origin, and it is the opinion OF nearly every
one that the act was aimed especially ut the
AdveTtiser. Mr.. Waterman, Its publisher, is
an enthusiast on negro and prohibition
question:. Temperance has grown 10 be
his hobby. In every county In Georgia
there has been agitation for local option, and
in Monroe county especially 1t has assumed
all theiitterness OF a heated political CAM
paign. Recent discoursss Uf DR.. Haygood
have Influenced the public against the col
ored people.
Mir. Waterman, being an advocate Of
higher law, fell under marked dlspleaaure,
and on more than one occasion be stood in
danger OF personal chastisement. There Is
no doubt that his enemies applied the
torch to the building for the purpose OF
showing their disapproval Of his course. A
partial list OF the insurance Is as follows:
Georgia Home, $1,000; Liverpool and Lon
don and Globa, Sl,275 and $500; Southern
Mutual, Si00; Southern Mutual, on news
