be replaced by houses that will not be food
for future conbagrat ons Aud it is said
that in the construction Of the larger
editces there will be less material exposed
that fire can feed upon, and slate roofs will
take the place OF tin. The buildings will be
much nearer ire-proof and the danger from
FIRE leSscnod.
A gentleman reviewing the situation,
said that the fire viii be the means of put
ting into circulation not less than half a
million dollars for rebuilding, almost all Of
which will be brought here from England
and the north by the adjustment of losses,
so that it will make it easier on those who
have to rebuild, but will give employment
to labor and will stimulate local industries,
which must supply the greater part OF the
material.
Already the initial steps have been taken
70 rebuild the waists places. Mr. Andrew
Hanlsy said last night that he will begin
the work Of cleaning away the debris, pre-
paratory to rebuilding, as soon as the bricks
are cold enough for the mon to handle them
NEW STORES TO GO UP.
The Lowell estate will rebaild the two

Gu led by Lindsay g. Morgaa.
Mr.. Ed ard Lowell will consider plans
to-day for two brick residences to take the

Co. will probably rebuild on Broughton
street at once.
The Odd Fellows will meet tomorrow to

IL is not known what will be done on
York, Han and South Broad streets, but It
it believed that the same enterprise and
building activity will characterize tn Sc
VINO have lost property on those
who have met with losses win await
adjustments by the under writer's before de-
termining on plan OF action. The i'm
munity of the city from disastrous fires, it
is believed. will have tendency to liberal
action on the part of the insurance oom-
panies, and some Of the agents say that their
companies will pay losses without discount
and without taking advantage Of the sixty
day limit. Adjusters will be here this week
from the north.
Merchants who have saved a portion of
their stock will look around to-day and to-
morrow for temporary locations and stock
W, interrupting their business as little as
possible until they get back in new build
iugs in their old quarters. The Odd Fellows

John A. Douglass & Co. will open out
this morning at 1l3 YORK street.
Lindsay g. Morgan have secured qurters

THE RESCUED PROPERTY.
Nearly ali the household goods which had
been moved into the squares the night pre-
vious were taken TO places Of safety yester-
day, except the stocks of Clarke & Da liels
and Thomas Henderson, which remain in
Court House square and are guarded by
private watcnmen.
The Chatham Artillery returned their
furniture to the armory, and the ordnance
was returned to its quarters.
The Guards have moved their arms and
furniture into the Chatham Artillery
armory.
Mr.. Andrew Hanley moved into the old
sand Of N. Ferest g. Co.. next TO TIRE
MORNING NEWS building, and guard was
put at bis old shed, several barrels Of oil
and other stock having escaped destruction.
The fire badly demoralized the street car
lines The Whitaker street line ran its cars
to South Broad street going north, and to
| Broughton street lane going south, where
they transferred; but last night ropes were
stretched across Whitaker street at South
Broad and at President street, and pedes-
trians will not be permitted to travel along
| Whitaker street between these streets until
the walls of the Hanley building and the
Guards armory are pulled down.
| The Barnard street cars came only as far
north as Telfair place, and the Broughton
street cars went on y as far west as No. 155
Broughton street
The eastern wall of the Guards armory
still lnenaces the the Kollock building, but
| an effort will be made to brace the wall and
force it to fall TO the westward.
II is not believed that the walls OF the
Henderson building, the Independent Pres
byterien church, nor Jhe greater part Of
the walls OF the Sunday school building
that we're left standing will have TO come
down.
TO REPLACE THE ARMoRY.
The site of the Guards armory will be
occupied by handsome building in less
| than a year. Ninety -one Uniformed guards,
| who were made homeless by the destruc-
| tion Of their splendid home, formed hollow
| square around Col. Garrard at the Chatham
armory last night listening and applauding
| the most encouraging talk that could
ever prompt them to action, or
| lead them on to success
! The Guards are homeless, but they are reso-
lutte and determined. Col Garrard read a
letter from Capt. Gordon of the Georgia
| Hussars full of sympathy and kindly feel
ing Capt Gordon invited the battalion,
on behalf Of the Hussars, to share their hall
until it was able TO secure permanent quar-
ters. The following order was then issued:
The monthly meeting OF the Guards will be
| held toni zht at S:15 o'clock In the hall of the
| Georgia Hussars.
Col Garrord said that the battalion has
suffer ed a great loss The structure that
it had looked on with pride was a heap Of
molten ruins, but it shall not signify that
regret viii be an obstacle to prevent the re-
building OF the armory. "lu less than
year" said Col GarTard, 81 believe we will
have the headquarters for this battalion
rebuilt in a struc ure more magnificent
than that of which it mas been robbed"
The corps, he said is In no worse condition
| than when tho building Of the armory was
| begun. On the contrary, its means Of Ie-
placing the building Is assured. He urged
tae members to be devoted g. the battalion,
aud by their public spirit, resolution
and determination, furnish an example
worthy Of emulation. 1t is time
for a ton, be said, And none save
those who act can be retained In the ranks.
Col Garrard inspired the men with new
determination, as was manifest by their
cheers. Three cheers were proposed for the
Hu,sars for rendering their hall, and also
for the Chathams for the use Of their hall
during the day
A FATAL SPOT
THAT spot has been the scene Of more
disastrous conAsgration than it was last
night" said Sagannahian, pointing TO the
smoking embers OF the buildilg at the
