A Georgia Town Fire-Swept.

cambridge, Ca, July I7.-Saturday
night tWenty-seven business houses
here we're destroyed by fire, which
started at midnight. The fire origi-
mated in the brick block of Belcher
Brothers, and quickly spread to the
adjoining buildings south on Broad
street. The brick buildings of M. w.
Subers and Mrs. Eborn, one occupied
by w. H. Morrow's saloon and and the
other by DR.. Wardell's drugstore, were
destroyed, not even a wall being left
standing. Adjoining the building OF
Belcher Brothers, on Water street,
were two stores of D. D, Stults, one
occupied as a saloon, the other as
general merchandise establishment
Both of these stores were destroyed,
as we'll as every other building in the
block. From this point the fire cross
ed the street and consumed twelve
business houses in the next block. On
Clark street there were burned the
fire-engine house, city guardhouse and
stable of A. N. Fordham and the city
water-works pumping station.
The estimated loss is between $780,
600 and 10000, with insurance pro-
badly aggregating $4,000.

Alger Resigns.

Washington, July I9.-Secretary AL
ger today rendered to the president
his resignation will become effective.
August Ist though it was rendered "at
the pleasure Of the president"
Gossip has begun already as to his
successor, but it is entirely speculative
for, notwithstanding the reports that
Mr. Alger would not long continue at
the head of the war department, his
actual resignation came suddenly and
unexpectedly. So little was it expected
at this time that some of the cabinet
officers, when the news first became
public, were iuclined to regard the an
nouncement as premature. Formal ac-
ceptance of the resignation had not
been made by the president up to
late hour tonight, but will be in
letter to be written within the next
day or two.
London, July 2O.-The Standard
this morning in an editorial article
regarding the resignation of Secretary
of War Alger says president Nc
Kinley's prompt acceptance Of Mr.
Alger's resignation is equivalent to
an admission that the war department
has been badly managed. 1t is signi-
ficant that the resignation followed
so quickly on the Manila correspond

tration. 1t has given the enemies of
the imperialist policy the most offec-
tive weapon that could have been
forged, and President Mckinley can
wrest it from them only by they ap-
pointment of successor whose past
commands confidence.
The Times described victory for
for public opion and public morals
over political organizations By re.
signing Secretary Alger has practi-
cally allowed judgment to go against
him by default and has relieved the
Mckinley administration from
responsibility that was assuming very
serious proportions. 1t is the first
and most essential step toward the
puriafication of the republican party
and, indeed, of the whole political
system of the United States to take
care that the removal of superficial
symptom does not divert their atten-
tion from the root of the mischief.'
The Daily News mas similar edi-
torial 1t says: He might have
defied public opinion to the last, but
that Mckinley means to stand for a
second term and has to be on his
good behavior with the electorate"
The papers generally regard the
resignation as aprelude to the viggor-
GUS publicly in the Philippines and
the recall of Genera Otis.

Wadesboro, N. c., July 2o.-A tele-
phone message from Albemarle tells
Of an assault by negro upon Miss
Saunders, of that place this evening.
At the request of the Albemarle au-
thorities parties were dispatched to
the State farm for bloodhounds and
they will be carried and placed upon
the negro's trail Immediately. The
locality in which the crime was COM
mltted is reported as being much agit-
ated and summary punishment may be
inflicted upon the negro if caught.

l1an or Monkey ?

Bonstel, s. D., July 17.-Upon the
question whether his victim was brute
or human depends Archie H. Brower's
guilt or innocence of the crime of mur.
der. Brewer was one of the owners
of a small tent show which came here
for exhibition. Among their attrac-
tions was creature of seemingly a
higher form of animal life than a mon
key and lower than man.
Brewer and Thorndyke called the
animal the Missing Link, and laid great
stress on the alleged fact that no one
was able to say whether it belonged to
the human or the brute creation.
Brewer now AYERS that the freak was
a monkey.
In scuffic with it the Snowman be-
came angry and, seizing a heavy club,
dealt his antagonist hard blow over
the ear, from the effecls of which it
died in few hours.
The local authorities Immediately
placed Brewer under arrest on charge
of murder. At the preliminary hear
ing his lawyer set up the defense that
their client did not take the life of a
human being. But the magistrate
bound him over to the grand jury.

Stopped by Federal Court.

Ashevllle, N. c., july 1.-THE in
creased valuation Of railroad property
in North Carolina, as assessed by the
Corporation Commission for 1899, will
not stand unless an order made by
Judge Simonton today at chambers is
reversed on further hearing or by a
higher court on appeal.
Today, at Flat Rock, Henderson
county, Judge Simonton, ofthe United
States Circuit Court, heard motion
in behalf of Seaboard Air Line, the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Southern
Railway Company, for an order re-
straining officers of the State from en-
forcing the collection of taxes from the
railroads named under the increased
assessment. His honor, after hearing
the case presented, granted an order
restraining the Corporation Commits
sion, the auditor and the treasurer
from raising the assessment above that
of 1898 and directing the railroads to
pay taxes upon the 1883 assessment.
The order further directs that the de-
PENDANTS show cause why the restrain
ing order should not be made perma-
nent, and sets the case for hearing at
Asheville, September 80.
Under the assessment Of 1898 the to.
tai value of railroad property in North
Carolina was $32,522,e2I, The assess
ment made this year raises the figures
to $42,5I4,459. The increase is $e, ,ee6,.

ANXIOUS FOR RECRUITS.
The New Regiments Filling SlowIy-Induce-
ments Offered to Men to Secure Volunteers.

Washington, July Ie.-The reports
recruiting yesterday show that 41o
were enrolled, making total of 2,67S.
The Thirty-frst regiment leads with
546 and the Twenty seventh follows
with sos. The war department is Of
ferlng extra inducements to expedite
the recruitment of ten volunteer repi.
ments. Nearly all the commissions
having been issued, many of the dis
appointed applicants have been ad-
vised to enter the ranks, as in that way
it may be possible for them to secure
commissions. General Corbin SAYS
that the policy of the administration
will be to fill vacancies which may
occur among the commissioned officers
from the ranks of the regiments where
they occur. A number of applicants
for commissions have enlisted as pri-
Yates in the different regiments. These
men have been appointed non COM
missioned officers, wherever possible
and consequently are next in line of
promotion to commissioned rank in the
event of vacancy
Another method oil securing recruits
is to offer commissions to men other
wise qualified who will undertake to
furnish in each case not less than forty
men who can pass muster as soldiers
and will enlist for service in the Phil
ippines. There have been several cases
of this kind during the past week. A
former officer of the Texas volunteer
infantry recently told General Corbin

Harrison's Big Blunder.

Chicago, Ills, July 17.-Mayor Carter
Harrison today sent the following letter
to the committee in charge of arrange
ments for the Democratic meeting at
the auditorium, July 20:
W. F. Cooling, Esq, Chairman Com
mittee of Arrangements.
Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of
the 14th inst, in which you ask me to
deliver an address of welcome at the
auditorium July 20, to the National
Democratic Committee and "a large
number Of other prominent Democrats
of America l regret my inability to
accept. In ordinary circumstances l
should be only too glad, both as mayor
of Chicago and as a Democrat to wei.

number of prominent Democrats to
Chicago, the city in which the platform
of 1896 was framed, and in which w. 7.
Bryan was elevated to his present lead
ership of the national Democracy.
cannot but think, however, it would be
an absurdity to welcome those distin.
guished men under the auspices of a
self-constituted committee whose per-
sonnel is too obscure to be known even
in its home city, Had this meeting
been organized under the direction of
Democrats of regular type and known
party standing it would have afforded
me great pleasure to be present. In the
existing circumstances, while thanking
you for the honor, | must beg leave to
be excused.
Respectfully yours,
CARTER H. HARRISON.
When copy of Mayor Harrison's
letter was shown Ex-Governor Altgeld,
the latter said:
81 am sorry the mayor looks at it that
way. He has made grave mistake.
He has lost golden opportunity.
Should he come to the meeting and
make a rousing Democratic speech, he
would place himself at the head of the
Democratic party of the state. But he
has lost the chance now, I'm sorry for
it,"
When Mr.. Cooling read the mayors
letter he made the following statement:
"We have given the young man in
the city hall the opportunity Of his life,
which he has failed to appreciate.
"There is tide in the affairs of men
which taken at the flood leads on to
