Building Committee Appointed.
A mass meeting of Odd Fellows was held
last night at Metropolitan hall to take steps
toward rebuilding their hall which was
swept away by Saturday nights fire. Mr..
T. A. Askew was called to the chair and E.
B. Peak was made secretary.
The Odd Fellows Hall Association,
which met the night before, had
already determined to rebuild the hall Last
night voluntary donations were called for
from members and 5000 were placed in the
chairman's hands On the spot. Over So, 900
have already been subscribed to the new
stock of the association. A committee of
two from each lodge was appointed to So
hcit donations from the members and the
committees will begin work at once.
A memorial prepared by the Odd Eel
lows Hall Association was adopted and
will be sent out to all the lodges in the
United States and Canada.
The memorial contains a statement of
the associations financial condition, and is
an appeal for donations to assist in rebuild
ing the hall.
A new building committee has been aD-
pointed consisting of T. A. Askew, presi-
dent, Jonas Mendel, treasurer, A. r. Faw-
cett, secretary, and G. B. Clarke, j. H H.

four, and will front on Telfalr place, with

its new home finished and ready for dedica-
ton on April 26, 1890, which will be the

The library which consisted of
5000 volumes, aud which had been accumu-
Iating since 1S49, was total loss. Not a
book was saved. Grand Master Woodruff

meet in Metropolitan hall until new lodge
room is built. The Atlanta lodges have

Fire in the Central,s Yard.

The alarm of fire from box % yesterday
forenoon was occasioned by an incipient
blaze in a small shed in the Central depot
yards, which was extinguished without
damage before the arrival OF the fire de
partment, although as precaution, to
guard against firing the cotton in the yard,
the shed was first demolished. The shed
was used by the men who clean the engines
for keeping the oily cloths used in the work,
and spontaneous combustion in the heap of
greasy and oily rags caused the fire.

A NEW SAVINGS SCHEME.

Money Taken Care of with Participa-

Four per cent. Is the best rate of interest
to be obtained from the savings banks.
This is regarded by many as very small en-
couragement for savings, their ability to
put by little being very meager.
Any scheme which will encourage and
enable people to add to their means should
be encouraged by all good citizens.
Many who are inclined to increase their
reserve fund by purchases of real es tate
have been unable TO do so, because it re-
quires an accumulation Of a larger sum
taan was within their ability TO get
together.
Now, however, the opportunity is being
offered to deposit S25 by buying lot and
save IS per month, and also secure the
whole profit on the transaction.
Such opportunities as will be given on
Thursday, 11th. in the sale of lots should not
