business, as conducted in .Pittsbarg. is all
right" remarked real estate broker yestey-
day. Nearly all of them are given as security
for purchase money or improvement, and are
not debts in the ordinary sense. In this view of
the case which is the correct one. so far as
Pittsburg is concerned, mortgages are not so
great an evil as they are generally represented
to be. On the contrary, they have proved of
great benefit in many instances that have come
under my personal observation"

A Good Suggestion.
Speaking of the inability OF outside business
men wanting to locate here to obtain suitable
quarters gentleman remarked yesterday:
This is direct loss to the city which could
easily be prevented If our capitalists would only
do their duty to the community 'by putting up
business houses. We need more buildings of
all kinds and must have them to enable the
city to expand. The last census would have
shown SO QUO more people If there had been
houses TO hold them. / think it safe to say that
within the last three months 50 individuals and
firms have made application Tor stands in this
city and been disappointed. The beginning of
the year is good time to devise measures to
get rid of this serious handicap to the growth

AN EXPLOSION OF POWDER,
Fifty Kegs Wreck the Alabama Great

Fifty Kegs Wreck the Alabama Great
Southern Depot.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, July 3l.-Flfty kegs
of powder in the Alabama Great Southern
depot exploded about midnight last night,
completely wrecking the building and de-
molishing a number Of cars on the adioin-
ing side-tracks. Fire was noticed in the
building before the powder exploded,
but there was scarcely time to
give an alarm before the explosion
followed. The depot was almost entirely
one man was in the building, and be
was thrown out of bed by the explosion A
few minutes before the explosion a watch
man had been over the building and found
it all right Glass was shattered in all the
windows around the neighborhood for four
or five blocks, and houses trembled for a
mile around 1t is believed that two men
seen loahng around the building early in the
night set fire to it.
INCENDIARIsM CERTAIN.
The officers of the railroad are certain
that the burning of the depot was in
cendiary. An effort was made by the mis-
creants TO force the lock of the safe, and
failing, they set fire to the house. The fifty
kegs of powder were among the first goods
to ignite. One negro tramp has been ar
rested, but no Importance is attached 20
that The loss on the building is about
$4,000; on goods $S,000 and the loss on
buildings in the city by shattered windows
is over $4,000. O'Brien's opera house,
three blocks away, suffered loss of $3.50 in
broken glass, Mr.. O'Brien being the largest
individual sufferer.

RUSSIA AND THE JEWS.
No Truth in the Report of Relaxation
in the Expulsion.

NO Truth IN the Report OF relaxation
in the Expulsion
LONDON, July 31.-A cable dispatch to
the Dunlap-Dalziel agency was published In
this city several days ago, stating that the
state department of the United States had
been informed that the czar, at the instance
of the United States, had ordered temporary
relaxation of the laws aud regulations
providing for the expulsion of the Jews
from Russia. On the day following a dis
patch was Published here from Washington,
d. C., saying that the Dunlap Dalziel state
ment had been investigated, and at the
state department it was said that 1t was a5-
solutely untrue that any such intelligence
had been received there.
THE ASSERTION REITERATED.
The Dunlap-Dalziel agency to-day again
asserts that the state department at Wash
ington has received the information re-
ferret to, adding that the Information was
received direct from the state depart
ment and that the state department has
not denied the truth of the Dunlap.
Dalziel statement in the United States
However, n denial Of this story has ap-
peared throughout Europe, and the Berlin
correspondent of the London Times chron-
icles the denial as appearing in the North
German Gazette.
NO RELAXATION.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Times saws: This is the fourth time that
this assertion as to the relaxation Of the
measures of expulsion has been circulated
In the interests of certain official connec-
tions, which are perfectly apparent to those
who understand the situation. In spite of
the authentic denials, which were not neces.
sary, in view of the continuance of the
facts complained Of the report is reDeate6

WORSE THAN EVER

that things are worse than ever in Russia,
and the Times calls attention to the fact

GzORGIA's FENCE LAW.
The Committee Reports Favorably
Upon Mr.. FIemings Substitute.

The Committee Reports Favorably
Upon Mr.. FIeming's Substitute.
ATLANTA, GA, July 31.-A matter of
Importance to come up In the legislature
next week is the fence law bill, now under
consideration by special committee of the
House.
The committee has reported favorably
upon Mr.. Fleming's substitute for the bill
introduced by Mr.. Sibley of Cobb. Quite
number Of bills on this subject
were referred to the committee
and Mr.. Fleming's substitute is practically
new bill. My substitute" says Mr..
Fleming, docs not affect at all any county
now having the stock law, but enables those
counties that do not have it to get it by
having a majority of the freeholders file
a petition for it in the ordina-
ry's office, and then also for two
thirds of the grand jury to indorse
or recommend it. IL does away with the
ordinary election, where the floating vote
decides the issue against the persons inter@
ested." The bill will probably pass in this
shape without any serious opposition.
