ATLANTA, Ga, Angus! lS-The loss by
the Kimball House fire is 100000 on the
building and sl95,OOo on furniture, and on
the whole amount there was only $4,000
insurance. One reason why the owners
carried SO little insurance was because OF
the high rate charged. The Kimball House
was considered the worst risk in the city,
aud the rate Of q per cent was charged,
while on ordinary central property only
per cent. was charged. The Republic block,
lust opposite, was insured at the rate al /
per cent. the addition OF per cent. being
made because Of the proximity Of the block

Considered by tho committee at lis

The Committee on Fire Department met

acted considerable business. M report to.
night will recommend to Council that bills
for the month Of July amounting to over
$500 be paid; that L. G. s,aub be given
the contract for rebuilding that ancient
relic, the Seventh ward reel, which is now
on It's last legs, in style similar to the one
in the Eighth ward, for SSl5. There
were several bids, tor doing this work.
John Pfarr & o.. offered to re-
build for $575 or put up bran new reel for
$3.50. Donaldson, Lewis & Co. offered to
rebuild for 5000. R. E. Elliott, Of Pitts.
burgh, offered "dandy" for ST. 900. The
SiIsby Manufacturing Co. offered one for
500.
There were two bids for puttings sheet
iron roof on the Hook 4 Ladder house. ".
A List & Co.'s bid was Sis aud that OF N.
L. Haldeman 4 Co. $l03. The latter will
he recommended to Council.
The committee will recommend that the
Chief be authorized to call out the Fire De-
partment on the 18th inst, when an excur-
sion party OF between 800 and 600 people
from New Philadelphia, Canal Dover and
Urichsville will be here as noted in the In
rELLldENcER few. days since. They are
anticipating quite treat in seeing the De.
partment come out on call. The Chief
was instructed by the committee to make
such tests as be thought proper, such as
throwing water, laying hose, etc. All the
members OF the committee were sure that
such performance would be the
proper thing for the city TO do for the
excursionists as considerable money comes
in from that source.
After all the other papers had been dis.
posed OF bill was taken up that was re.
ected so quick that 1t barely had time 70
be taken out OF the envelope. It was bill
from David Kull for two gold mounted
side reel lamps amounting TO S25. This
bill has been rejected by Council four
times already. Il is a pair OF those lamps
that raised such q rumpus during the Eccles
regime. Kull in letter accompanying
the bill, said that they had been ordered by
Eecles. It was the recollection OF Clerk
Galligan and several OF the committee, that
when Kull was on the stand during Eccles'
trial on the GIIligan charger he te d.
fled that John W. Schultze ordered the
lamps. Last September when Kull repair
ed the United reel he placed the lamps on
II, but when Chief .Dunniug entered the
office, they were ordered taken of.

NEw YoRE, August lS-0scar Wilde
arrived in this city by the steamer Britain.
mic yesterday, and is stopping at the Hotel
Brunswick. His visit at this time, as he
stated to a reporter last evening, is made
for the purpose Of personally superintend-
ing the mounting OF his new play, "yera,"
which is to be produced at the Union Square
Theater Monday evening, August 20, and to
attend therehearsals by the com pany which
Is to render the piece. He brought with
him designs for the scenery and costumes.
He did not, as reported, however, bring
any scenery with him. al have been told,"
he said, THAT the announcement has been

and had brought 1t all with ME, corn field
and all. That is mistake. think your

and have simply prepared the designs, us

brought some dress stufts to be made into
costumes for Miss Prescott, such materials
as he feared could not readily be procured
here. The first rehearsal OF the play will
take place in the Union Square -Theatle
tomorrow.
s:.Mr. Wilde's personal appearance is
greatly changed. He has substituted reg
ulation trousers for knee-breeches, and his
leonine name has been "cut down" He
wears his hair "banged't on the forehead,
but ia other respects its style is only Il
trifle different from that prevailing among
business men. He wore last evening, d
cutaway velvet coat, drab pantalo0ns, OF
the prevailing style, and closely fitting
patent leather boots, u Byron collar, and
scarf with diamond pin. He smoked
cigarettes constantly, but apparently did
not inhale the smoke, as habitual cigarette
smokers do. Since he left New York, he
said he had delivered several lectures
in England, and he had spent four
months in Paris writing new play, called
the Duchess OF Padua." 1t Is an Italian
play, Of poetical nature, and is founded
upon lie ia Padua in the sixteenth CELL
tury. 1t is in i've acts, and will depend for
its success more upon the passions depicted
than upon the scenery and costumes. "0f
course" said Mr.. Wilde, 81 shall mount 1t
handsomely. The best OF pictures require
suitable frames" Mr. Wilde said he
thought the American public cared less Tor
scenery, however, than the English. II a
play possesses merit it was more likely to
have long run here, even il the scenery
were susceptible Of improvement, than it
was in England. As long as costumes were
not grotesque in tue display Of color the
public would not find fault. Mr.. Wilde
said he had not yet made any attempt to
introduce his new play.

SAD SUICIDE.
The wife OF senator Allison, Iowa,
DrownH HERSELF {

DUBUQUE, Ia, August l3.-The wife oi
United States Senator W. B. AlliEon com.
mitted suicide by drowning herself in the
Mississippi river some time during last
night. She lett home yesterday afternoon
shortly after / o'clock, informing her SER
wants she was going to one otthe neighbour.
Instead, however, taking her gossamer un.
der her arm she went in the opposite di-
rection toward the country, where she has
been accustomed to take almost
daily walks. It was ascertained
she wandered around in the outskirts
ofthe city. During the afternoon she was
seen by several persons walking rapidly
and apparently very much excited. Not
returning by 9 o'clock from!the place she
was supposed TO be, an alarm was given
and search was instituted and maiptained
throughout the night. This morning her
body was discovered by the outgoing
train at o'clock in the river about mile
below the city. She had cut up her goSsa.
mer, placed some stones in 1t and tied
them securely about her neck, and then
walked deliberately iuto the river, about
thirty.five feet from the bank, and then
laid down and was drowned, where the
water was only two and q half feet deep.
Mrs. Allison was Of a highly nervous
temperament and during the past two
or three years was suffering from and had
been treated for mental disease. While at
q water cure establishment in Western
New York, in 1881, under medical treat
ment, she attempted to commit suicide In
much the same manner, but was rescued.
She was neice and the adopted daughter
OF the late Senator Grimes Of Iowa, and
has been married for ten years. She has
no children. Senator Allison had opened
the campaign at Clatinda Saturday and
yesterday was in Council Bluffs. A dis
patch was sent him last night rs soon as
her disappearance became known, bntit is
thought ne was not reached until this
morning. The sad event has thrown u
gloom over the whole community.
Late this afternoon dispatch was r.
ceived from a companion OF Senator Alli-.
son Isaying he would arrive on special
train little before midnight. The body
OF Mrs. Allison has been enbslned. A
great many dispatches oi coincidence have
been received from sorrowing friends. The
time for the obse qnies has not yet been dc.
termined on, nor is It known whether the
deceased will be buriet In this city or in
Burlington, the home Of her foster parents.

The Dead.lock In the stock Market
Brohen-what Led TO IL.
New York, August 13-The deadlock
in the stock market has been broken by a
series Of commercial and financial disasters
against which tho bull combination could
not stand. The tide Of events has carried
them down. Even the accession Of Mr..
Gould to the ranks OF those who were try
ing to sustain prices only postponed, out
did not avert the inevitable decline. lie

Messrs. Smith snd Morgan by the tele-
graphers' strike, which compelled him to
protect his Western Union, and the effect

market and then to hold it in sort oil
deadlock, resulting in the complete stagna-
ton Of business on the Exchange. The bear
faction simply watched, the leaders seeming
to be quite confident that events outside
the stock market would work In their
favor. The first group OF socks to feel the
blow were Mr.. Goulu's Southwestern,
which made dreadful bad showing ci
earnings for the fourth week in July. The
report was kept back three days over the
usual time, but rumors were rite on MOI
day that the Wabash showed decrease
for the week of 100000, as compared with
the corresponding week last year, and that
Missouri Pacific also showed a falling of.
But these rumors did not get out until the
falling prices Of the Wabashes attracted
general attention. An experimental sale
made on Monday morning discovered that
there were Eo supporting orders on the
floor for the Southwestern stocks, with the
exception OF Missouri Pacific.
This was enough to start everybody to
selling them. Wabash common and pre-
ferred, Texas Pacific, and Kansas & Texas
were raided with extreme vigor. They
received no support from Mr. Gould then,
and apparently none since, unless the
hasty publication Of the earnings for the
first week in August Showing an improve
ment on the previous week may be called
support. 1t did not, however, prevent
these stocks selling yesterday at lower
prices than were made for them on the
tirt day OF the week, when they were sup.
posed to have struck bottom. Mr.. Gould's
whole strength has been concentrated in
the effort to sustain Wes'ern Union and
Missouri Pacific. Everything else he has
had to let go, and his position Is like that
OF General who has had his lines extended
over wide stretch Of country, but by the
constantly increasing pressure upon him

THp Commissioners OF Ohio County
showed great presence OF mind when they
named solid Democratic County Board
Oi Health. Politics ought not to enter into
such "a Board, but the Commissioners
filled that Board pretty full. There will
have to be some change in the programme
or Council may refuse to have it that way
when i. comes to electing City Board OF
Health. Ia the place Of Mr.. Woods,
Speaker Of the last House, it is proposed
to put a gentleman who resides in the

lie, too, shall be Democrat. Non-partisan-
