A BLAZE AT WHITE BLUFF.
The ola Orphan Home buildings
Burned Down.

Burned Down.
The old building at White Bluff former
ly occupied as an orphans home, burned
yesterday morning at 4;30 o'clock. The
chapel, to the left of the building, and the
house on the right caught fire and burned
also. Had it not been for the energetic
efforts of the White Bluff people in or
ganizing a fire brigade, the fire would
have been much more destructive than it
was. The property of Constantine Bros.
adjacent to the burning buildings, was en-
dangered during the progress of the fire,
and it required constant effort to pre-
vent the blaze from spreading

The orphans were moved to St Marv's,
home, on Habersham street, several years
ago, when that building was completed,
and the White Bluff property has since
been vacant. one of the burned buildings
was once used as a residence by the
priests, but it, too, has been vacant for a
number of years.
The place has been, a Mecca for picnic
parties for the past two or three years, and
it is thought the fire was started by some
boys who We're in the vicinity of White
Bluff and who had camped in the old
buildings and left some fire
The buildings were the property of the
Catholic churches of Savannah This is
the first fire White Bluff has had for some
time. The people there regret to see the
old landmarks destroyed.

Pope Leo has written TO the Catholic
hierarchy of America, condemning the
assemblage of congresses of religion.
The letter has been delivered TO Arch
bishop Ryan of Philadelphia and to all
other archbishops. 1t was the main sub
ject considered at the recent assembling
Of the archbisbops at Washington. What
steps the archbishops took cannot be
learned, but the AmericaN church will
probably anthematize congresses Of re-
igion in the same way that an interdic-
tion was placed on Catholic participa-
ton in the Knights Of Pythias, Odd
Fellows and other secret societies.
The congress of religions held at Chi
cago as feature of the Worlds fair
was the most notable gathering of that
character in recent years. Its projectors
expected it would lead to further con-
crosses merging all sects and creeds.
Pope Leo's disapproval will be viewed
with special reference to it-New York

In addition to the property recovered Mon
day stocks and bonds To the value of Sal, :
600 (par valued were brought to the inspec-
tors office. They were surrendered by
Mrs Chaffee, and consist of gold mining,
lumber company and railway stocks and
bonds
Chaffee claimed when arrested that he
was given the plumber by Barrett in re-
payment of large sum expended by Chat
fee in Barrett's defense, and that he did not
know the property was stolen. In the box
with the stocks and bonds were number
of letters proving that Chaffee was not inn
plicated in the robberies but the police do
not believe that he was ignorant of the
fact that the property was stolen. The
charge against Chaffee has been changed
from burglary To that of receiving stolen
goods, knowing that they were stolen.

the police now reaches $4,000 in value

with the Grand Pacific than with any
other. He made this one of the famous
hotels in the country, and it was for a
