Two Other Fires.

Two Other Fires.
Fire broke out in the stable of DIR. E. P.
Oliveros in the rear of Reid & Co.'s drug
corner, at Jones and Abercorn streets,
about 1880 O'Clock this morning, communi-
eating with the stock room of the drug
store and destroyed almost the entire con-
tents of the room, consisting of drugs,
chemicals, OIL etc. By the bursting of
can of burning kerosene Robert Pringle,
of No. IS firemen, was painfully but not
seriously burned about the face
Reid Bros were unable to approximate
their loss this morning. The drug store
proper was not injured by water, nor did
tho fire got into the room, but the intense
heat bursted great many bottles, and the
smoke damaged a great deal Of the stock.
They say that they are fully covered by in
surance, having two policies of az, 600 each
one in Harden's agency and the other in the
agency of Johnston a. Douglass. They will
Immediately replace all lost and damaged
goods and continue the business as soon as
the adjusters pass upon the loss, which is
heavy.
The alarm was sent in from box q by
Fred Schwarz. who discovered the fire from
the bakery a square east of the drug store.
The fire Is believed to be of incendiary
origin.
Mr.. John Reid said that on his way home
last night he met DR.. Brandt, accompanied
by his colored servant, and the doctor re-
quested Mr.. Reid to return to the drug
store and put up prescription for him.
He did so, and he afterward learned that
while he was putting up the prescription a
negro was seen to drop over the fence, on
the street side, and depart hastily. MIR.
Reid said that he had not been away from
the store to exceed an hour when tie alarm
was turned in. The last person in
the stable before the negro seen to
jump over the fence was the stable
boy who, at O'clock, locked the
stable and gave the gate key to Mr.. Reid
The horse was got out of the building with
out injury. The damage to the stable and
building adjoining will not exceed $500.
1t is the property Of Maj. A. Bonaud, and
is 21s story frame dwelling, the first floor

Surveys and Photographs of the Site
Sent to Washington Last Night.

Surveys and Photographs of the Site
Sent to Washington Last Night.
Civil Engineer Edward J. Thomas com
pleted and turned over to Postmaster George
W. Lamar, yesterday, the survey of the
site for the new government building, cor
ner Of Abercorn and York streets. Mr..
Thomas, in an interview with a MORNING
NEWS reporter, said: at is beautiful site
for the government buildingn
The survey shows that the lot is almost
level, there Icing only slight difference at
any corner. The very best drainage can be
obtained, as there is a fall of fifteen feet to
the Broughton street sewer, which will
probably drain it, and fall of six feet to
the Perry lane sewer. The water pressure
at the point where the site is located is
thirty pounds, and the water main is a
sixteen-inch main.
Two photographs were taken yesterday,
one showing the site abutting on Abercorn
street, and the other front view on YoK x
street, Oglethorpe square showing in the
pictures These vie US, with the survey,
were mailed TO the supervising architect at
Washington last night by Capt Lamar,
who informed the MORNING NEWS that he
has been informed that tine plans are al
ready well under way. Capt. Lamar said
that he hopes TO be able to move the post
office into the new building long before the
expiration of his second term as postmaster
under President Cleveland.

BAKING POWDER.

chd's food is largely cakes and bread, and these
articles when light sweet and composed Of materials free
from deeerious substances easily dgeed nutritious
and wholesome When these articles made from pure
and wholesome baking powder they much health
full nutritious than when prepared from yeast or other
leavenng agent But danger arises from the fact that 50
many of the baking powders of the market impure
to render the food unwholesome In fact chemical
analysis has developed the fact that all the baking powders
upon the market; with the single exception of the
Royal Baking Powder contain either lime alum phos
phates acids of injurious character. When bread
cake is made with the of impure baking powders
these injurious substances pass into the SYSTEM are
the of much of the disease with which children
are afflicted.
Persons who have not strong constitutions, growing
girls young children and many ladies, particularly
liable to the evil effects produced by the adulerans found
in these cheap baking powders Heartburn and the preva
lent forms of indigestion often raceabe solely their
action upon the alimentary organs
The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal
Baking Powder unquestioned The official reports of
the u Government Chemists have put this fact beyond
all controversy. Prof Mott reported that the Royal
undoubtedly the purest and reliable baking powder
made Prof Loves report showed it to be of the highest
strength while Prof Mcurtre late Chemistin Chief of
the U. S. Agricultural Department, at Washington, D. Co.
found the Royal the only baking powder free from both
lime and alum and absolutely pure.
There should be much in the choice of baking
powder to obtain pure milk or in having prescription
compounded from pure drugs and not from posons Pure
wholesome delicious bread and cake assured by the
of the Royal baking Powder.
