THREE HOUSES
 BURNED AT ELYTON
Fire Department Was Useless for the Want of Water
 Connection.

The little suburb of Elyton was visited by a destructive fire early yesterday morning, which resulted in the complete destruction of three fine houses, with a considerable quantity of household effects.
 The fire was discovered in the residence of Dr. J. H. McCarty about 9:SO o'clock. An alarm was given and a telephone message sent to this city for Dr. McCarty and the fire department.
 The neighbors responded promptly and were soon at work saving furniture and eff fects. In the meantime the flames sprt al rapidly and soon the entire upper story was in flames.
 The Birmingham fire department respond ed with one steamer and hose wagon, and just as it arrived the flames spread to the adjoining house occupied by D.. O. Watkins, foreman of the Excelsior laun- dry of this city.
 Elyton is without water connections and the fire department was unable to fight the flames and was compelled to stand idly by. It was possible to run line of hose to Eighth street where the first fire plug is located but it would have required almost the entire hose supply of the department, and Chief Muller declined to take the risk of crippling the protection of the city.
 After destroying the McCarty and Wat kins property, the flames spread to the third house, which was also destroyed
 A barn in Dr. McCartys yard was also burned with a new buggy.
 The McCarty residence and contents was valued at $6 300, with $4,000 insurance.
 The second story of the residence was occupied by Felix D. Blackburn and wife, who were recently married, and their ef- fects including many valuable wedding presents were totally destroyed.
 The house occupied by MT. Watkins was owned by J. Newberry, and was valued at about s2 ,500 His furniture and effects were valued at s1 300, on which $75O insurance was carried.
 MT Blackburn's loss is estimated at be- tween $6 900 and $7 900. On this some insur- ance was carried.

Atlanta, June 7.-An attempt was made on the night of May 29 to enter the magazine at Fort St Philip on the Mississippi, sixty five miles below New Orleans. In endeav- bring to apprehend the two miscreants the sentinel who challnged them was struck on the head by a bar of iron in the hands of a hidden ally and seriously injured. The news of the affair did not become known until today. About 2:So o'clock on the morning of May 29. the sentinel on the parapet of the ten-inch battery heard suspicious noise in the direction of the magazine, and on creeping up to the house saw two men trying to force the locks. He challenged them. but they ran and although fired at, managed to escape one of the men sending shot through the sem try's sleeve as he left. The sentinel pur- sued the two men and as he neared the steps leading to the landing a third man stepped out and struck him with bar Of iron. felling him to the ground. The guards aroused by the shooting came on the scene hastily, but the three men escaped in a boat down the river.

SILVER TAKEN
 FROM THE SHELF

Special Dispatch to the Age-Herald.
 Washington, June 9.-Silver today was taken from the shelf, so to speak, and put to use again as one of the money metals of the country. For three years or there abouts, the government will coin million and half in silver a month. The free silver advocates look upon this clause in the new revenue bill as a great victory, and the single gold standard men acknowl- edge as much by the distress signals they are waving tonight
 Senator Wolcott said in the debate to- day that this was the first acknowledge ment silver had had since the Sherman act was passed, and he believed the day would never come when any party would
