morning The guests were obliged TO flee from the
burning building attired only in their night clothes
\ dozen guests were in the building when the hre
broke out. and 1t with difficulty that they es-
capped with their lives.
The hotel was owned by Mrs. J. Lorenzo who
leased It to Mr. Nathan. There has been consider
abe rivalry of late between the owner and lessee.
and in consequence of this feeling. there are ugly
rumors afoat as to the cause of the fire. 1t Is be-

was discovered by George Strahdeman, who saw
the blaze burning hercely beneath the veranda
The guests had Just retired after spending the

a IRE about 3.S0 oc.ock yesterday morning.
The three occupants OF the house escaped and
two trunks were taken out safely but everything
else was lost The fire started under the front
porch and was evidently the work OF an incendlary.
Mr. Ruhl. his daughter. and man from New York.
were the only occupants OF the house. The
structure was completed about two months ago. The
contractor had been paid, but II appears the
Italians who were employed by d sub-contractor
failed to obtain their money. and they demanded
that the owner Of the building pay them. This was
refused. and they threatened 10 have revenge.
From this II IL thought some OF them. or some OF
their friends started the blaze. Mrs. Ruht worried
the threats made by the Italians that she

was attacked with nervous prostration and heart
disease followed The building insured for

THEY HAVE ARRIVED.
The Speciality Company for East Lake Chartered at the Opera House Hotel-Man-
 ager Reach Talks.

The speciality company which was en- gagged by Superintendent J. B. MeClary of the Birmingham Railway and Electric company to give series of summer night concerts at East Lake arrived in the city yesterday morning and are quar- tered at the Opera House hotel. The ros- ter is as follows: Messrs. Harry L. Eng fish, Robert Longmire, Alex Drumming, James Roach and Malcolm A. Roach, and Misses Rene Vinton, Katie Smythe and Kittie King.
 Mir. Harry English, whose name heads the list, by the way, is not the MT. Harry English who holds the honored position of master mechanic of the Birmingham Railway and Electric company, but is a noted artist late of the "Black Flag company.
 An Age-Herald reporter met MT. Reach, manager of the company, and had very pleasant chat with him. MT. Reach IS very confident that his company Will give entire satisfaction during their stay in this city. Each and every member of the company, said Mir. Reach, is a speciality artist of ability and each has a separate role Thus it can be seen that the performances will be varied ana therefore interesting, doing away with the old stereotyped drama and comic opera performances, of which the public has long tired, especially when given without charge. We have, he further said, a large repertoire of the very latest songs, and the speciality work am sat- isfied will be eminently satisfactory.
 MT. McClary was afterward seen by the reporter and learned that the stage erected in the lake just opposite the pa vilion will be thoroughly overhauled to- day and tomorrow and the performances will be given there. In the meantime the pavilion will be open for dancing, ana Montano's band will be on hand to fur nish music for the terpsichoreans. Two attractions at the same time all for the price of dummy fare is a great tempta- tion and large attendance is predicted;
 A specially pleasing programme VIII be arranged by Manager Reach for the grand opening tomorrow night.

CONNECTS FOILED
In an Attempt to Escape From the Mines at Coaburg Leader Brought Down
 By "a Lucky Shot.

News reached the city yesterday of the Sloss Iron and Steel companys mine at Coalburg to make their way to the outside world and freedom But for the watchfulness of the guards nearly score of them would now be free as the birds in the trees. One of the convicts will for some time have gentle remind CT of his part in the plot.
 While at work in the mines a number of the convcts found a weak spot in thei wall and they decided to make an eff fort at that point to gain their freedom. At odd times they worked at this spot and finally were rewarded in seeing the light of the outer world. In the mean time, however the guards suspected something was on the tar'S and re- doubled their watchfulness.
 Monday afternoon the coavicts pre- pared to make their exit, and under the leadership of A. Brankfield, negro sent up from this county, made for the moun-' tain side by the way of the tunnel.
 Brankfield succeeded in getting out, but one of the guards, a MT. Jones, was right behind him, and as the negro started to run hailed him. The negro needed not the warning and kept stead fly on. Three times he was hailed and failed to stop, when the guard drew bead on him and planted a number of shot between his shoulders, which brought him to a halt.
 In the meantime other guards drove back the other convicts and secured the opening. Brankfield was taken to the Stockade hospital and his wounds at tended to. He will recover.

ME CAN IEACH THEM

When trolley cars were introduced in this city there was great deal of preju- dice against them. All sorts of terrible things were predicted But the cars went on the even tenor of their way, with an accident record no greater than :. that of the familiar and favorite dum- mics. The service improved from time to time, and there was a decided reaction of sentiment. This was apparent in the satisfaction expressed at the recent an- nouncement that certain dummy line was to be transformed into an electric road.
 The experience of Birmingham is that electric cars are cleaner and more com fortable than the dummy coaches: the time made is about the same, and so is the proportion of accidents.
 In the East and North, however, the prejudice against the trolley stubbornly holds Accidents are frequent and in- excusable Tn spite of lenders and other devices pedestrians continue to be ground np by the wheels. Incompetent motor- men lose their heads and the lives of pas sengers. and the service generally is be- low the requirement..
 Now arises an interesting question, or rather two questions: CD Is the trolley car service of Birmingham superior to that of the metropolitan centers? CD Will the trolley car meet the demands of rapid transit in the large cities?
 , All things considered the first question may be answered in the affirmative. Bir- mingham is large enough to prevent (on 8 reduced scale) the difficulties with

Reorganization of the Central.

New York, July 30.-The next step in the reorganization of the Central Rail- road of Georgia will be meeting at the office of Simon Borg & Co., No. 20 Nassau street, at II a. m., August 26 of the first consolidated mortgage bondholders of the Savannah and Western Railroad company. The company, of which MT Borg is chairman, has issued a circular to the holders of cirtificates of the Cen tral Trust company of New York and Martins bank of London, given to bond holders who accepted the bondholders' protective agreement calling the meet ing for the purpose of ratifying the con tract made with the Georgia Central through Messrs. Thomas and Ryan. The consent of 60 per cent of the outstanding certificates is necessary to make the plan effective. In order to induce full as- sent the Borg company has decided to remit the penalty of $25 heretofore inn posed between this date and August 8, but after the latter date the penalty will be enforced against any bonds that are received on deposit. The company rec ommends the acceptance of the reorgani- Zation plan.
