'Hurrah for Maine"
Interesting Controversy Over the Mate
rial for GeOrsia's N ew Capitol.

The building of Georgia's State capitol is
the most lively question before the legislature.
The last legislature appropriated $1,OOOO0O
for this purpose and provided for the appoint
ment of a commission to control the work.
This commission awarded the contract to Q
firm in Ohio and accepted the oolitic stone OF
Salem, Indiana, as the material. But no SOON
or was this done than owners of certain mar
BILE quarries in Georgia raised cry that Geor-
gian material should be selected, urging the
argument of protection to native industries.
determined onslaught was made By those
persons upon the present session of the lsgis-
lature. The Atlanta Constitution of Yesterday
morning practically claimed that a lobby
was atwork using doubtful Emeans.
When the question came up to order a sus-
pension OF the work, DIR. FELTON,, celebrated
Independent ex-Congressman from Georgia,
caused a sensation by saying that he was op,
posed to special gratuities to industrial enter
people to pay. he said, when the govern
ment came to erect public buildings in Allan
ia, tried to secure the use of Georgian mate
rial but We found that granite could be quar-
ried in Maine, brought to Savannah and thence
| by rail to Atlanta and laid down here at a les:
| cost than it could be had at Stone mountain,
| only l6 miles away. When l learned that, !
| said ia my heart, 'H0rrah for Maine.'"
| This sentiment was loudly cheered by the as

SorSed is that DeYonng's medical attend

his wounds were not necessarily dangerous
and the Judge therefore considered it a bails-

Al Cleveland, o., about 10 O'Clock on
Wednesday low, sharp sound was heard
in the vicinity OF Forest street, back of
tue STANDARD oil works Immediately tho
iron top Of an oil still in tho yards OF
Merrlmau y Morgau's oil and wax works
shot into tho air, accompanied by quanti.
ties of brick aud followed by q huge sheet
OF flame. An alarm Of fire was turned in
and tho department at uuCe responded,
but tho fire had obtained such headway
that tho atlJgts of the trumeu were oGly
directed toward keeping the flames from
spreading 10 tEe great tanks standing near
by. The still was located inside large
wooden e. closure, with four or i've other
tanks Of the same kind. II was here that
the OF! was refined.
The flames rapidly spread to the wood
work and the other stills. aud a dense
column of lame aud smoke shot up % the
sky. About tho stills at the time of the
explosion were at work a large number of
what are known as stillers - aud other
laOOrers, every one of whom esc3 ped
except three, without injury. August
Fisher, William StOhlmau and August
GuuthCr, lhbOrcrs, were close to the ex
plOding still, and wheE the burning oil
shot out into the enclosure it fell upon
them, aud in a second their clothing was
in flames. They all started to run, but
before they could escape or aid cou d reach
them, they were burned TO a crisp.
Fisher had managed TO get some little
distance away from the fire, but tho other
two were found hy the firemen, Charrcd
aud burned beyond recognition, close to
the fatal still. They were carried ont as
