A BLAZE AT ATLANTA.
Joseph Jacobs Stock Of Drugs Makes
Bonfire at Midnight.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 10 1;30 A. M-The
Norcross building, at the corner of Peach
tree and Marietta streets, one of the old
est buildings in the city, was Quilted by
fire tonight just before 12 o'cIack. and
one of the largest drug houses in the
south was destroyed. Joseph Jacobs, drug
gist, occupied the first floor. while he
used the second and third floors
for his patent medicine depot and
laboratories. The fire originated on the
third floor, whore an immense stock of
chemicals and standard goods were
stored. Before it was discovered the fire
had gone between the ceiling and roof.
The tiremen worked hard but nothing
could be done and at l o'clock this morn
ing parts of the roof tumb bled in.
Chief Joyner said that if he kept the
fire in the one building he would be salts
fed. The stock on the third floors is val
ued by Mr.. Jacobs at 100000 and is only
partly insured.
Mr.. Jacobs is unable tonight to state
the amount of the insurance, but said it
was away below the value Of the stock.

New York's Senators Not at a Feast
Three Humorous Stories.

Three Humorous Stories.
Washington, Jan. Both the New
York senator's, Hill and Murphy, were in
vited to the Presidents dinner Thursday
night, but neither of them went; both
sent regrets. The political quidnuncs
are making the most of this incident, and
various sorts of gossip are growing out
of it.
The summary order of the House for
the arrest of all absen tees, which was
made Saturday, created a great deal of
excitement and gave rise to many stories
1t is said that Col. Ike Hill, the deputy
sergeant-at-arms, actually and bodily
climbed through a transom at the Airing
ton hotel, and thus vi ct armis arrest ted a
recalcitrant M. c., whos wouldn't
open the door to the deputized dignity
and authority Of the House of Repre-
sentatives. The member in question,
of course, denies the truth of the report

sumed his normal air of grandeur, and
said with lofty wave of his hand, mo
member of congress can escape me-"
THE FIGHT OVER THE TARIFF.
The attitude of those democratic mem
bers who are fighting specific items in the
tariff bill because their constituents are
interested in them, reminds one of the
sage remark of the fellow who announced
that he had found a good place to have a
boil. Where is that2' he was asked
ION somebody else l'Nwas his reply These
gentlemen all are willing 10 have tariff
reduction, provided they can have it on
some other district than their own.
They are also like Artemus Ward dur
ing the late war. Once when his patriot
ism got the upper hand of him, he boldly
declared that the bones of his substitute
should bleach on a southern battlefield,
and that he would sacrifice all his wife's
cousins, before he would consent to the
destruction of the union. Patriotism by
proxy is great thing-as great now as it
was in the days of Artemus Ward.
A CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
A new name has been found for the
pension Office The other day a confeder-
ate veteran was passing by the big red
building when he was met by federal
veteran, who, strange to say, did not
know what the pension Office was. This
part of the story makes 1t hard to be
lieve, for if there is one thing on earth
which a federal soldier would know,
it is the pension Office But
it seems that this one didn't,
and he asked the confed: "Can you tell
me, sir, what that is?'' "That?" replied
the old confed. why, that is a confed-
crate monument" and he passed on and
left the union vet to wonder what he
meant. When you think it over, the con-
fed wasn't so far wrong.

FIRES SWEEP AT THE FAIR.
The Flames Do in One Night What
Man Couldn't Do in Six Months.


Chicago, Jan. 9.-Last nights fire in
the worlds fair grounds produced greater
changes in the appearance Of Chicago s
famous pleasure park than it was ex-
pected would be made by six months re-
moving of the buildings The casino,
where thousands spent delightful hours
watching the gay scenes upon and about
the grand basin, was wholly destroyed.
OF the peristyle, once Illuminated with
thousands of mCandescent lights and
Greek fire, and furnishing endless enjoy
ment, nothing remains. It's arches were
burned away and its stately columns half
burned and charred, lay in confused
masses upon the brick promenade which
surrounds it. The colossal figures which
surmOunted il tOppled 10 the ground when
their support was burned away and are
broken in pieces. Columbus and his her
aids with their war horses and chariot
are unrecognizable among the mass Of
ruins.
THE MUSIC HALL.
Music hall, likewise, is melancholy
heap Of ashes. Save here aud there,
where a twisted iron girder protrudes.
not a portion of it was saved from the
flames. All about the walks are strewn
with debris, charred brands, which the
wind blew from the burning buildings.
and little piles of white ashes where
some brands were consumed after falling
THE MANUFAcrURE's BUILDING.
The manufactures building, both within
and without, presents a sight not desired
either by artist or exhibitor. The lattice
work between the top roof and the curved
one, covering the central aisles on the
east side, is burned away from point
above the southern end of the United
States section south TO one above the
Russian section Upon the tin and glass
arched roof lie half burned boards which
formed part of the lattice, and which,
when loosened by the fire, slid downward.
Inside the building appearances are worse
than upon the roof.
THE FLOOR FLOODED.
Within the region burned over and for
some distance on either side the floor Is
covered with water Standing in water,
which at some places Is two inches in
depth. are innummerable boxes, contain
ing precious wares, bailed and bound for
reshipment as soon as they could be re
leased from bond. Upon and about
them lay the now destroyed decorations
Of the paviions. The French. Belgian
and English sections suffered most, and
in the spaces occupied by them Is TO be
seen the most disastrous results.
The scene inside the great manufact-
ures building was Of bsOrbing interest
Here and there were seen boxes with
their tops half burned through, but their
contents safe, except for the water that
had leaked into them. A few timbers In
the roof were still burning and smoking
A rough estimate places the loss on the
buildings al about $500, 600 No estimate
Of the loss on the EXHIBITS can be given
until the cases containing the stored
goods are examined.

Decree Conforming Certain Secret socie-

New YORK, Dec. 23.-Archbishop
Corrigan denied himself to reporters
who sought to obtain his views regard
ing the ecclesiastical Introduction Of
secret societies promulgated by Bishop
Mcdonnell of Brooklyn to a conference
of priests of his diocese Vicar Cen
eral Farley admitted the truth of the
statement that such an order had been
promulgated.
"The Odd Fellows. the Sons of Tenn
perance and the Knights of Pythias
have been interdicted," he said. "The
movement against secret societies was
determined upon by tho council of the
archbishops of the Roman Catholic
church in the United States held in
Chicago in September, 1898 That
council formulated recommendations
which were forwarded to the pope who
in turn laid them before a conference
of cardinals which endorsed them, the
pope thereupon affixing his seal to de-
cree of condemnation. Bishop McDon-
nell is the first to give the decree pub
licity and his course will be quickly
followed by other prelates throughout
the country"
