Bullets will glance. So thought MIR. John
Murphy, a compositor in the New Age office.
On Saturday forenoon that gentleman was
diligently at work at his case, close to a win
dow on the side of the building next to the
river, when crash came a bullet through the
window within two inches of his person. AT
the same time . report was heard
from across the river. Passing through
the window the bullet struck the
ceiling of the room, above the stairway,
dropped to the floor and was picked up by our
friend, who now keeps it as a memorial of his
narrow escape. On investigation it was as
cer,ained that the bullet came from the rifle
of Mr.. Franklin Day, who had fired at a
muskrat in the river, from the shore on the
east side, and the bullet glancing on the
water had entered the composing room
of the Age as before stated. When it
is considered that the window is 20 feet above
the surface it will be seen that the bulle;
made quite leap. This should be warning
to gunners and sportsmen not to fire in a
direction where q bullet can possibly by
CHANGING or in any other way. do personal
injury.

ANOTHER ooIrLAe9AUoY.
H. Daniel 1oore's Buildings Ruined BY
the Flames.
Feur Thousand Dollars Wsrth II Pre~
srty Destroyed.

Fires rage by epidemics in Augusta. The
burning of the Western Avenue House was
the drst serious fire that had occurred in this
city for over six months. Now closely fol-
lowing this another disastrous blaze ensues.
At half past seven o'clock on Saturday even
ing, flames were discovered breaking from
the stable which il owned BY and connected
with the residence of Mr.. Daniel Moore OF
this city, the building being located on Wash
ington street, CushnOc Heights. There was
some delay in sounding the alarm, - no tele-
phone connects with the Heights, and it 10
quite distance down street. Many people
at first concluded that the fame was 4 bon
fire. Wyman's whistle first gave the alarm,
and the fire department was quickly on hand
In less than fifteen minutes two streams were
playing on the flames. The Ere was manag-
ed admirably by the firemen. The burning
stable and house were located in the centre
OF whole square of infamable wooden build
ings, and when the department arrived the
fire had got strong hold on the ell of the
house and communicated to Mr.. George Wor-
ster's stable. The progress of the flames on
the latter building was quickly stayed and
the fire confined to Mr.. Moore's property.
The flames got into the attic Of the main
house and ragged there for some time, being
very difficult to dislodge As stream of water
could not be brought to play on them effec-
tually. The fremen continued their labors
until about 10 o'clock. The furniture, which
was first class in every respect, was mostly
saved but in q damaged condition. Two
tons Of lay, IL bushels of grain, one sleigh
valued At $50, and q riding wagon worth S75
were destroyed. Two horses in the stable
were rescued. The stable was burned to the
ground, the ell completely Quilted and the
roof and end of the main house badly burned.
Besides this the remainder of the building
was SO badly damaged by water and other
wise as to be practically worthless. Mr..
Moore's total loss is estimated at 81, 800. He
was insured As follows with Davis, Farr &
Co., in the Home, New York: On the house,
$3.50; ell, $500; barn, $3.50; furniture.
$1,000; other personal property and fixtures,
eooo. Aotai, cf,ioV. Ne0IBe Vorster
stable vas injured about $500 worth; insur-
ed. How the fire canght is a mystery which
has not been solved. Some think it was in
cendiary; others that it was caused by spon-
taneous combustion or by rats gnawing
matches. At all events the flames were first
seen bursting from the roof of the barn and
apparently caught in the hay. No one had
been in the building for an hour before the
fire. A tremendous crowd assembled on the
Heights and witnessed the conf agration.
There was runaway on the Hill during
the progress of the fire. One man was
thrown out of wagon and somewhat injured,
ly hurt.
