FIRE AT COMPTON.
A Beautiful Residence Burned-Almost a Total Loss--Heroic Work of
 Neighbors in Saving Other Houses.

: Compton, a village on the Bessemer and Birmingham dummy line. three miles from this city, was the scene of an exciting fight between citizens and the fiery element yes- terday.
 AL noon a small blaze was discovered eel ming through the kitchen roof cJn- nected with the beautiful twostory resi- deuce of Mrs. O'Byrne and an alarm given. The neighbors. both white and black, promptly responded and made every effort possible to save the furniture, as 1t was plainly seen that the building could not be saved.
 Every one in the neigh borhood, male and female, went to work with willing hands, but stiff gale was blowing, and before much of the fine furniture ln the building could be gotten out all were forced to leave the structure and contents to the flames.
 Only small portion of the furniture was saved and very little of the bedding and only one trupk Of wearing apparel. Mrs. O'Byrne and her son-in-law and daughter, MT. aud Mrs. John Quinn, oc- cupied the residence, and a representative oi the AGE. HERALD, who happened to be at the scene ot the fire, learned with regret that rot dollar of insurance was carried by eiiher party.
 Mrs. O'Byrne but short time since lost her hus band, and this loss ot her beautiful home is but another drop added to her cup of sorrow.
 Mir. Quinn is one of Birmingham's en- terprisiug young merchants, and his loss will be regretted by his mlny friends.
 While the O Byrne residence was burn- ing sparks, which were flying in every d.. rectiou, ignited shingles on the roofs of several residences near by, some of them 150 yards from the rning building. l nese blazss, however, were quickly got ten under control.
 <l l.to @f the neig hbors, white and black, and their efforts to do what was possible, spoke vol umes and showed their appreciation for those in distress.
 One young white girl about IA years O. age, daughter of an ex-Confederdte sol- dier, did good work in removing goods from the burning building and was among the last 10 leave it.

GOLD FOR EXPORT
Continues aud Another Bond Issue Is Looked for, But When Is
 Not Known.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.--There has been 8, ,000 ,000 in gold with drawn from the sub treasury for export ou Saturday, and the toa amount to be shipped on that day will not be less than S7 GOO, COO. The sub-tTeas- ury officials have been conferring with gold exporters today relative to the delivery of gold bars in redem ption of legal tenders in- stead of gold coin.
 The government assumes the position that the gold speculators should pay a slight premium for gold bars about equal to the cost of minting the gold into coin. The government is willing to supply the gold oars if a reasonable premium can be arranged with the gold exporters. The exporters, however, show little disposition 10 pay anything for the gold bars. They claim they will have to pay slight charge to the Bank of England for the asseying of gold bars, which would counterbaiSuce the benefit derived from securing the bars here.
 It is true that some small quantities of gold bars have been purchased from smelt- CTS, but these bars were sold in the open market. Large quantities, however, would have to be sold to the Bank Of England, as the demand for bar gold in the open mar ket abroad is not very great. The treasury also has only about s23, ,000 ,000 in gold coin available for rede mptiou of legal tenders, as about s53 1000, ,000 must be held against gold certificates outstanding. The ex- porters consequently DelleVe tnat gold DarS must be furnished by the treasury psrforce if the gold exports continue as heavy as at present.
 The exchange market indicates that the gold movement will increase rather than diminish and that the shippers conse-~ quently are reluctant to pay any premium for gold bars, as the time is near at hand when the treasury will have no choice in the matter. The hints can turn out only about Sl.6Oo,0O) gold coin each week. With gold exports averaging 5000, 900 to S6, ,000, GOO week it is obvious that the gold coin will be depleted in a few weeks. The treasury will, however, lose more gold than the amount exported, as the shippers would have to sort the gold coin when gotten from the treasury and deposit all gold which has been rendered light by an abrasion in the vaults.
 Another issue of bonds is considered in- evta ble but it can be stated on high au- thority that the floating of 5 per cent bonds is extremely doubtful.

HONORABLY DISCHARGED 4l

Atlanta Cons ttut1On.
 Richard H. Clark, Jr., son of Judge Richard Clark of this city, was arrested in Birmingham Monday night charged with trying to obtain money under false pre- terday morning, as there was a misunder- standing on the part of his father as to his whereabouts. It seems that young Clark had the authority to draw on his father in Montgomery. He decided to go to Bir- min ham, and while there drew on his father. telegram was sent to Judge Richard Clark, who did not know that his son was in Birmingham. He at once wired that there was no one in Birmingham with the authority to draw on him. The arrest followed, but yesterday the matter was straight tened out and the honorable dis charge of Clark by the recorder followed.

YOU DO WRONG

To pay big prices for common shoes these hard times when it is so easy to find good shoes at low prices. The Boston Shoe Store, 107 Twentieth street, sells shoes and makes a regular customer out of every person who makes purchase there. There is a reason for this.

A LITTLE GAME BLOCKED.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Beatty created
some CONSERVATION at the State Capt.
tol by enquiring into the methods of
the late officials in letting contracts to
supply public institutions There
was only one bid to supply TIE Sta e
officers with stationery. This led Gen
erdl Beatty TO enquire if calls for
bids had been advertised. He was in
formed by ex-Secretary Grey that it
was not the custom to advertise for
bids. General Beatty stated that the
State differs were neither legislative
nor judicial bodies. They could not
amend the laws nor decide how they
should be construed their duty was
to obey them.
Such plain straightforward lam
guage as that surprised the old Off
Gals and the the merchant who was
informed, without advertising the fact,
that bids would be received for GER
tain Supplies. They were still more
astonished when the Purchasing
Board, 10y direction Of the Attorney
General, decided to give all dealers
chance to compete for supplying the
Capitol, by notifying them that bids
would be received for a stated period,
thus blocking the little game by
which favorites were given advan-
tages that the law contemplated
should be accordedto al.-Journal.

BICYCLES FOR DOCTORS.

We don't see why the medical profess
sion has not more generally adopted the
bicycle for practical use on their rounds.
Expense, discomfort and inconvenience
of the horse and chaise would be done
away with when the bicycle was substi-
tuted. No stable or stable hire; no boy,
no delay to hitch up for a sudden call,
no a-good-many vexatious and expensive
associations of the horse and chaise at
tach to the bicycle.
We know doctors who use the bicycle
for recreation and most doctors, we be-
lieve, recommend this modern mode OF
locomotion for healthfulness. But we have
never happened to see doctor on a
wheel spinning away to visit patient.
We are sure the wheel is not much used
in this way. We should think it would
be.
Perhaps the doctors do not deem such a
method of making their rounds to be
compatible with the dignity that should
attach to their profession.
