BOSTON HOT WITH FLAME
SIX FIRMS BURNED OUT ATA LOSS
OF $4,000.

Only $1,000 Insurance Carried and
That Was ALI Held by One Man
Incendiarism or Rats at the Bottom
of the Blaze-Good Work by the
Firemen.
BosToN, GA, June 15.-Fire at ! o'clock
this morning burned the two-story wooden
store of T. T. Stephens, the two-story frame
of j. w. Smith, the store and stock of goods
of J. z. Fitzgerald, the store and dwelling
combined of Mrs. II. A. Thompson, the
two-story store and dwelling occupied by
Heppee & Co. as bakery and restaurant,
and the town hall and calaboose, at a total
loss of about $4,000. The buildings we're
all wooden, old and regular fire traps, ex-
cept the town hall. They burned very rap
idly.
VERY LITTLE INSURANCE..
None of the structures burned were in
sured, and only one stock of goods, that of
]. z. Fitzgerald, who carried 81 900 insur-
ance on his stock Of $4,000, and $500 on his
store furniture and fixtures. His goods
were all destroyed. His books and papers
were all in his safe, as were those OF T. 7.
Stephens. Their condition is not yet
known.
The fire originated in the vacant store
recently occupied by Bird & Co. as an up
holstery and furniture store, in which was
said TO be lot of inhammable material.
The origin Of the fire is unknown, but it Is
supposed to have been incendiary, or
caused by rats, there having been no fire in
the room for several weeks
LOOKED VERY THREATENING.
At one time 1t looked as if the entire
upper portion of Main street was doomed,
but the heroic and persistent work of the
fire company prevented further destruction.
While all worked valiantly, to William
Forester, d. A. Moore, Tom Barrow and
Win Hall is due special praise for their
efficient services and almost superhuman
powers of endurance in staying the flames
and preventing further loss.
The negroes awakened and behaved COM
mendably, rendering valuable assistance,
and, to their credit, not one case of pilfer-
ing or other wrong doing has been heard Of.
The fire had gained such Roadway before
the alarm was given that it was impossible
TO check it sooner than was done.

to $4,OOO,OOO Month.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-President Har-
rlson said last night: II expect to sign a
silver bill before the end of next week, :"
and he will. Acting on the suggestion of
Speaker Reed, he sent for the senatorial
Leaders on both sides of the silver question

END OF THE SILVER TALK.
THE GENERAL DEBATE IN THE
SENATE TO CLOSE TO-DAY.

Possibility That the Bill VIII be
Voted On-A Struggle for Prece-
deuce to Foflow-The Ril to Admit
Wyoming and the Frye Shipping
Bill on the List.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-The general de-
hate on the silver question is to close, by the
present order of the Senate, at 5 o'clock
Monday afternoon, and it is the prevalent ex-
neotation that a vote will be reached before
adjournment on one or two amendments to
the bill, if not upon the measure itself. In
the past week efforts were made to secure
nledges of a majority of the senators to
support one or another proposition on this
subiect, but it is understood that they were
failures, and that nothing but a roll call of
the Senate will definitely determine Just
what part of the silver bill will pass that
body.
When this matter is out Of the way
struggle for precedence is probable. Senator
Allison says he will ask to have the legis-
latiye. executive and judicial appropriation
bill considered.
wYoMING's ADMISSION.
Senator Platt wants the bill to admit
Wyoming to the union taken up, and SEN
ator Ffy6 Will press LIS SHippluS DillS upon
the attention of the Senate. If the Wy
oming bill should be taken up, it is under
Otood that the democrats will offer sub
stitute to admit Wyoming, Idaho, New
Mexico and Arizona to tho union in body.
The republicans, it is said, will not spend
much time on the bill. They will rest the
case upon the report of the committee in
favor of the passage of the bill.
The river and harbor appropriation bill
will be reported early in the week from the
committee on commerce, but it will not be
called up for action by Chairman Frye
before next week.
By the middle of the week the republican
members of the finance committee expect to
have the tariff bill ready to report. A
feeling prevails that the debate on that
measure will not begin until the measures
above referred to, or some of them, are
disposed of.
Senator Morrill's bill to further aid agri-
cultural colleges is on the calendar for next
Thursday, on which day also will be heard
the eulogies to be delivered by New York
members.
Saturday is to be devoted to bills on the
calendar to which no objection is made.

The remaining appropriation bills are to
be vigorously pushed in the house this
week. in pursuance Of the plan agreed upon
last week, in order to have the way clear
for action upon other matters Of public i'm

involve practical loss of suspension Monday,

followed by the Indian appropriation bill
and by the national bankruptcy bill, which
will be called up by the judiciary commit
tee, under one Of the special rules for facih-
tating speedy action.
The elections committee wish TO call up
the Mississippi contested case of Chalmers
VS.. Morgan. This is one of the cases where
the committee has reported in favor of the
sitting democratic member, and it may act
as softening prelude to the angry and
acrimonious debate on the national election
bill, which is expected to follow and close
the week.
