FIRE IN SAVANNAH.
Fifty Buildings Burned, Causing a
Loss OF 81 100000.


The fire which recently swept number of
business houses and dwellings at Savannah
Ga, out of existence, was the most extensive
in the history of the city. The loss is IN
doubtedly over 81, 500, 000
The fire broke out during the evening and
rapidly assumed proportions of a confagra-
ton. The local fire department was made
quate to cope with the flames, and the Mayor
of Atlanta was asked by telegraph to send
all the firemen he could spare.
That half of Savannah was not swept from
the face of the earth is little short of miracu-
lous. The halt of the confagration after it
had burned out the Independent Presby-
terrain Church and its chapel, to-
gether with three adjoining dwellings, was
not due to human efforts, because at that
point not single engine or stream of water
was available against the destruction.
The total number of buildings burned is esti-
mated at fifty.
The Independent Presbyterian Church, a
four-story brick building, and the new brick
arsenal of the Savannah Guards Battalion,
We're destroyed.
The fire also swept along the north S u
South Broad from Whitaker street to with
in one house of Bull street. the structure left
being a large brick residence owned by DR..
Daniel Hops.

A CENTEN ARIAN DEAD.
Death Of Chevreul, the Distinguished
French Chemist.

M. Michel Eugene Chevreul the distin-
guished French chemist has just died in Paris
at the age of 102. He was born at Anglers.
August 81, 1856. He was educated in the
schools Of that place In 1910 he was ap-
pointed professor of chemistry in the Lycee
Charlemagne. He was awarded in 1923 a
prize Of s2400 for an essay of animal oils
He succeeded his old master VauQuelin in the
chair of chemistry at the Museum Of Natural
History in 1910. He was made commander
of the Legion Of Honor in 1874. He was the
author of MAN. works Oh scientific subjects.
In 1886 the centenary of his birth was cele-
brated in Paris.
Almost to the last he was a devoted STU
dent, and his intellect and memory were
both unimpaired by advancing years. His
vitality was amazing, and he betrayed the
hveliest interest in ell current affairs of the
day. His daily life was one of extreme sim
plicity and rigid regularity. OF late years
he was only out OF bed for few hours daily,
but this Yves only matter of precaution. He
pursued his studies in his bedroom, and re-
ceived his friends, with whom he discussed
chemistry and colors, with unfailing aninla-
ton. 1t may be interesting to know that he
never drank, never smoked, and never ate
fish OF drank milk except when mixed with
other food. His regular diet was of strong
soups, beefsteak OF outlets, and coffee.

STANLEY AND EMIN.
A Report That They are Marching TO.
gether to the East Coast.


Advices received at Brussels, Belgium,
from Stanley Falls state that Arabs who have
arrived there report that Henry NJ. Stanley
and Emin Pasha We're heard from in Febru.
ary They were then marching toward
Zanzibar, with several thousand men, women
and children. They also had 5000 tusks of
ivory. Tie Arabs who brought news of
Stanley and Emin arrived at Stanley Falls in
February. They claimed to have seen Stan
ley several months before that time.
This report, says the New York Post, seems
to be a confirmation Of the rumOr, published
recently, that Stanley was on his way to the
East Coast, and it would also Indicate that
he had safely rejoined Enin according to the
plan mentioned in the letter just published,
and that the latter had determined finally to
return to civilization with all the men,
women and children attached to his com
mand. This would apparently fulfil the main
object of Stanley+s expedition, although there
is a political side to it yet to be explained.

He did not get the assent of the Sen

had the Senate been unanimously

Democratic opinion in the several

at least as great in the Senate as in

to most of his recommendations, In

But the natural and legitimate power
