HENDRICKS AT CINCINNATI.
Received by the Chamber of Commerce
Kind Words for the Exposition.

Received by the Chamber of Commerce
Kind Words for the Exposition.
CINCINNATI. Feb. u.-Vice President
elect Hendricks and party ar
rived here this morning from
the New Orleans Exposition. Mr..
Hendricks, shortly after noon was intro
duced to the members of the Chamber Of
Commerce by Vice President AdOlph
Wood. He made a brief address, in which
he said that after the trip he had just taken
he could see more clearly than ever why
Cincinnati had reached out her hands by
building the Southern Railroad to gain
Southern cotton, and other Southern pro-
ducts, notably the wealth of minerals,
which must bring valuable returns to
Cincinnati. Speaking Of the New Orleans
Exposition he said that though it had
had mfsfOrtunes he believed that it would
succeed on account of its great merit.
He believed that 1t was unsurpassed, If
not unequaled, as an exhibition of the
products of skill and industry. 1t had
had governmental recognition by an
appropriation. and if more was needed he
believed that it would be cheerfully given.
One of the principal good results of this
exposition, he thought, would be the in
crease of valuable trade with Mexico.
He thanks the members for the warmth
of the reception accorded him, which was
in delightful contrast with the chilly air
outside. Mr.. Hendricks was subsequently
introduced personally to the members.
He left for Indianapolis this afternoon.

manning senators carried the motion to

BURNING OF THE LEYDEN HOUSE.
The Leyden House, fashionable Peach
tree street boarding house and one OF the
landmarks of Atlanta's early days. was
destroyed by fire tonight. The flames
were first seen making way through the
roof on the north side of the building and
an alarm was promptly sounded. AL
though the fiTe department appeared on
the scene with much promptneGs, it
was pOwerless to battle with
the flames owing to the
insufficient water supply. The guests,
numbering probably sixty, escaped with
out injury, saving all of their effects. All
OF the household furniture was saved.
The building was owned by A. Leyden,
and was used by Mrs. Leyden as a board
Ing house. 1t was put up thirty years ago
by Henry TarVer, of Baker county. The
insurance on the building amounted to
