THREE WOMEN HURT.
Driven to Desperation by Fire in the House They JImp to the Ground
 With Serious Results.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Between 10 and Il o'clock this morning fire broke out in one of the disreputable houses on Thir- teenth street on the south side of Pennsyl- vania avenue, which accustomed copsidera- ble excitement and probable loss of life. The flames originated in the L of the building and quickly communicated with the front part, where all the inmates were sound asleep. The women became panic stricken at once. There was not one who could not have safely reached the ground by the stairs, but the same thought ap- parently came to all, and all jumped from the windows. Three were more or less in- jured, as follows:
 LIST OF INJURED.
 BELLE ADDISON, skull and collar bone fractured and back injured.
 FLORA PRESTON or SMITH, back pre- sumaby broken.
 MINNIE MOORE, back ipjured.
 or these the first is in a decidedly pre- carious condition and will probably die. The second is seriously hurt, while the last is but slightly injured.
 A movement nas recently been com menced to suppress houses of this class in this locality.

A COTTON MILL.
Two Eastern Capitalists Looking Over the Field for Site-Favorably
 Impressed With Birmingham.

Birmin D 2 ham had as her guests yesterday two gentlemen from Lowell, Mass. who were here for the purpose of investigating the advantages this city can offer for the manufacture of cotton goods. They were Messrs. Paul Butler aud w. R. B. Whit tier, the former representing the estate of his father, the late Geu. BeDjamin F. But Ter, and the latter the Whittier Cotton mills of Lowell.
 They are Investigating the labor coudi- tions, railroad facilities, fuel supply and other details that go to make desira ble location for cotton mills. They were shown about the city yesterday by Mir. Oliver Chalifoux of J. L. Chalifoux & Co.
 These two gentlemen represent large im- terests, and their company will iu all prob ability erect an extensive yarn mill at some southern point in the near future.
 To an A9E-HERALD reporter yesterday afternoon they expressed themselves as well pleased with the facilities offered by Birml gham, the only thing operating against them being the law enacted a few years ago preventing children under 13 years of age and women employed in fac day. A bill has been in reduced in the present legislature. and will no doubt pass, repeating this act, which will remove that obstacle.
 After a thorough investigation of the conditions here Messrs. Butler and Whit tier will return to Lowell and. submit their report to their company.
 1t is understood that the mill the Whit tier com pany purpose erecting in the sou h will cost about s40o ,0o0, and it's product will be principally cotton yarns.

THE GRAND LODGE
AaE- HERALD BUREAU,l

SELMA, Nov. 23.
 The Odd Fellows of this city have cast their ballots for grand lodge officers, and they have been forwarded under seal to Grand Master Garrett at Talladega. The Mckinley lodge voted Monday and Central lodge Tuesday night. Mir. Harvey L. Me- Kee, member of Central lodge. is their candidate for deputy grand master, and it is safe to say he received the solid vote of both lodges.
 The infant of Mir. and Mrs. J. M. Clinic died yesterday and was buried in Live Oak cemetery this morning. The little one lived only four weeks. The friends of the bereaved parents condole with them in their hour of grief.
 Yesterday at Pope's Station, Miss, MT. Henry L. Bowden of Selma and Miss Ellen Hubbard were united in marriage. MT. Bowden has a host of friends in Selma, who will congratulate him most heartily on his arrival with his bride in this city.
 The Calumet clubs house warming given to their friends in their elegant new rooms, corner Broad and Selma streets, last even ing was a grand success. The occasion was opened with a prayer by Rev. E. 5. Levy, after which President G. Rothchild made pleasing address, which was fol- lowed by delightful programme of music and recitations. Several hours were then spent in conversation and dancing.
 The new rooms are elegant and attract- i've. No expense has been spared in their furnishings. While the Calumet club is one of the youngest clubs in the city, It Is one of the most progressive and stands shoulder to shoulder with It's elder sister, the Harmony club.

Japs Make a Valuable Find in a
 Chart
LOCATING ALL THE MINES
Of the Enemy in the Harbor. Lii Hung Chang Feels His
 Importance.

LONDON, Nov. 28.-The Tokio corre- spondent of the Central News telegraphs: "The Japanese have found at Port Arthur a chart which has enabled them to locate exactly and control all the mines in the harbor.
 "On November 20, previous to the storm ing of the forts, the Japanese placed 100 siege and field guns in well chosen positions and r.sined shotand shell upon the Chinese en- trenchments. Tnis bombardment made possible the rapid success of the assault.
 "There was an engagement near Mo- Tien- Ling on the 25th. The Corean troops tried to break the Japanese right flank, but were repulsed. The Japanese loss was forty eight killed and injured"
 From Tien -Tsin the Central News hears that Li Hung Chang has gone to Poo Ting Foo, his usual winter residence and the seat Of the provisional government. His depart ure has given rise to many false rumors to the effect that he had been degraded again. The viceroys friends say that the time is near when he will be summoned to Pekin to save the country by his statesmanship.

THE FIRE PEND Gets in His Work in the Town of 0akman. FOUR HOUSES DESTROYED In the Business Center--The Flames Evidently the Work
 of An Incendiary.

OAKMAN, Nov. 29.-[Speeial Correspond ence. IA bed of ashes marks the place to- day where on yesterday stood ia good block of four house, in beautiful Oakman.
 It was at 8 o'clock this morning that q general fire alarm was given and the en- tire citizsnshipof thus place rushed out to do what tLey could toward checking the mad flames of fire monster that was gaining great headway in the business por- tion of town and laying waste valuable property.
 The first originated in the establishment of Davis & Co.,, merchants, on Main street. The enraged flames soon reached the large postoffice building. which was also occu- pied as a dwelling by two families, besides the postal business being transacted therein.
 From thence the flames spread to the grain and feed houses Of J. W. Appling on the east and T. J. Estes on the north side. One of the houses was torn down before the fire gained much headway, and thus the en : tire business part of Oakman was saved from destruction.
 Men, women and boys worked like heroes until the flames were checked and the fiery monster was gotten under control.
 The fre originated in the front pa Tt of the store of Davis & Co. and it was very evident to those who reached the fire when it was first discovered that kerosene oil had been poured on outside and touched of. The people all believe it to be the work ol a black hearted fire fiend and ali are very indignant.
 The mayor has offered A reward of $50 for the apprehension of the guilty ones, and every available effott will be made to bring the wretch or wretchers under the ban of the law and give them justice in the fullest measure.
 The losses can hardly be accurately esti- mated today, but run up into the thou sands, with but partial insurance on the buildings only

ATHENS BLAZE.
Four Large Business Houses De- stroyed-Heroic Work of Ladies
 and Visiting Clergyman.

ATHENS, Nov. H.-lSpecial Correspond ence. -Four brick buildings were de- stroyed by fire on the north side of the public square this morning about o'clock. The northeast corner was occupied by James w. Allen as a grocery store; the next west by Pine Rogers' grocery store !; the next by Dr. Theo w WestmoSeland & Son . a two story drug storei next by Hendricks Brothers, large two-story brick.
 The flames were arrested by fine wall between K. Rosenau's and the drug store, but for which the whole of the north side of the square would have burned.
 The origin of the fire is shrouded In mys- tery and many are the surmises, but no clue as yet to the cause. The parties gen. orally were covered by insurance except MT. Rogers, and the only damage to some was by removal of their stocks.
 At this writing, 10:30 a. m., the square is covered with all manner of goods, wares and merchandise.
 The efforts of the ladies were invaluable in saving the contents, etc. Dr. M. N. Norris, who was here to attend conference, was seen in he thickest of the conf1agra- tion, urging others and working With his own hands to help his old friends save their property. His services are highly appreciated by the citizens.
 MT. John Crawford and Walter McWil- liams rendered most daring service in stop ping the flames by remaining on the roof Of Rosenau's s store and keeping it saturated with water until the walls Of the burning building fell in.
