CHURCH BURNED AT AUGUSTA.
The EdIhce Cost $4,000 and Was In
sured For 5000.

Augusta, Ga, Nov. 22.-rhe church of
the Good Shepherd on the Sand Hills, the
beautiful little Episcopal church that is
so we'll known to all who have ever hved
or sojourned in the village Of summerville,
was destroyed by fire to-day. The church
was built In the form of cross, and a
helfry was in one Of the angles. From the
hight of a mans head to the ceiling, there
was no partition between the belfry and
the auditorium of the church, and when II
was not cold enough for fire in the church
furnace, Il was the custom to have fire In
a stove in the beifry from which sufficient
warmth found its way into the church. The
stove pipe and the rope both extended
from the floor Of the belfrey up through
the ceiling to the bell and the fire seems
10 have originated from the stove pipe In
the belfry. When It was discovered, some
one attempted to ring the bell and sound
an alarm, but the bell rope was burned IN
two.
Recently the people of summerville in
vested in a chemical engine, but had not
become expert in its use, and when II was
brought to the fire It was found that the
necessary chemicals were not on hand.

will fairly present both sides of the
questions involved.
These letters will be among the most
notable and interesting sent from Cuba
during the present struggle and our
readers cannot afford TO miss them.
Such mission is expensive. but The
Constitution is determined that its read

II costs. and Mr. Moran is the man of
all others to undertake the venture.
