stricted and but few buildings de-
stroyed, had the city been provided with
a fire organization. And so sensibly i'm

tIOn should at once be taken. the subject
was brought before the Citv
Fathers, who were not dilat0ry in the
least, but proposed to purchase
the outfit for hook and ladder company
as soon as the organization was perfect
ed. Before these additional appliances
could be obtained the alarm was sounded
and the city was found unprepared. We
are called upon again to record another
most destructive fire. At about one
O'Clock p. m. the we'll known Dell
House." located on the corner of Third

dwelling-perhaps the largest private
residence in the city-was discovered in a
blaze on the roof. Every available means
at hand, which We're meagre, consisting
of a lew buckets, short ladders and linn
tied supply Of water, were brought
into use, but they availed nothing, and i'm
less than an hour the house was a com
plete ruin. The property was owned by
Robert NJ. Smith, Esq, and occupied by
Professor LOOmis. Mr.. Smith was insured
for $4,000, but it is doubtful as to the place
being rebuilt on the same plan for less
than $4,000. Professor LOOmis saved all

the United States and the Sandwich
Islands, sugars which were not entitled
to exemption from duty Hereunder have
been imported from those islands into the
United States, has made It's report. The
COmmlOnsiOn finds
First, That there is no substantial differ
ence between the sugars imported prior
to and since the adoption Of the treaty.
Second. That no sugars from other
countries have been brought into the
Sanwhich Island and thence exported
as Hawaiian sugars to the United States.
and that no muscOvadO sugars have
been made in the Sandwich Islands for
twenty years, and that the term s'muscO-
yado" is misleading, and should not have
been used in the treaty.
Fourth. That the output of all the is
lands under the most favorable circum-
stances cannot exceed 100000 tons per
annum.
Fifth. With respect to the charge that
the treaty has created sugar monOpolv

say that they did not find this statement

Marietta and North Georgia Affairs.
ATLANTA, Sept. 13.-rhe investigation
of the Marietta and North Georgia Rail-
road case was taken up again to-day by
the Special Joint Committee Of the Legis-
lature. The railroad officers and con-
tractors testified, and no new facts were
developed. Mr.. Eager, of Boston, swore
that he was the contractor to build the
road for syndicate of which he was a
member and that he was to get Sc, 600 in
first mortgage bonds, $4,000 in second
mortgage and $4,000 of stock per mile.
In addition, he was to have the use Of 205
cOnvicts from the State and all the do
nations he could get from the people
along the line.
Joseph Kinscy, President of the COM
pany, testified, but nothing interest
ing was developed. General William
Phillips, formerly connected with
the road, was called, but reporters
were excluded. 1t is known, however,
that MIR. Phillips testimony contained
nothing new. The conflict is between
three interests. The Iessees of the peni-
tentlary want the cOnvicts. General
Phillips is after a new company who sue
ceeded him, and the new company want
the cOnvicts to remain with them. The
road is a small one heavily encountered.
