DISASTROUS FIRE AT AUGUSTA. GA
LOSS ESTIMATED At ABOUT s7OQooo-IN THE
HEART OF THE CITY-STOREs HOTEL
AND MASONIC BIILDING BERNED

Augusta. Ga, Dec 1U-The worst fire that Au-
gusta has had I'm years started early this moralng
and caused damage amounting 10 about 10000.
IL began in J. Il. Whites big drygoods house the
nearest approach Augusta had to a big modern
department store. The origin OF the fire IS
known, but it is thought that electric wire may
have come in contact with the woodwork after the
insulation on # became imperfect. possibly
spark from sputtering arc light may have fallen
into the drygOOds
As soon as possible after the alarm the firemen
were on the ground and Savannah and Macon were
asked for aid. Both OF these cities responded
promptly. and started their apparatus special
trains for Augusta. The Arlington Annex and the
stores beneath IT, all part OF the old Central Hotel
property, abuttcd the store OF J. h. White on the
uptown side, and all were involved in the first on
slaught OF the flames after getting outside OF the
White store. Next came the handsome Masonic
Building. Into this the flames ate their way from
the rear.
When this became thoroughly ablaze there
no longer any possibility that the Arlington Hotel
could escape. 1t has always had the reputation
or being exceedingly vulnerable, and when the
flames reached it from the rear of the Masonic
Building it was ablaze. The tremendous blaze
was visible for many miles in all directions. The
fire isnited the roof and windows of the Schneider
Building, across Eighth-st the next block but
1t was arrested there and. barring a few thousand
dollars damage to stock, the main loss
fined TO the original block bounded by Broad Ellis
Seventh and Eighth SITS
1t beng Sunday insurance men and property
owners would not go 10 their books and iron safes
loi, accurate data as to policies and companies,
and only furnished the estimated insurance in
bulk The following figures estimated of the
losses made up by three Of the leading insurance
men In the city and believed to be conservative,
but are only given estimates: j. B. White,
building and stock $4,000 Arlington Hotel, $780,
0o0; Masonic Hall building. $4,000 Louis Schaut.
jewelry. $1,000. VI. l.. Freelan. jcwelry etc, S0,
900; Augusta Construction Company. $4,000. and
Mullarky Sullivan. drygoods. $1,000. Minor
losses TO score of dealers about 10000.
Chiefs of the Fire departments of Macon and
Savannah, with men and apparatus, arrived after
the COnhdgratiOn had been arrested and their SER
vices not required.

DARING RESCUE or A WOMAN.
CARRIED UNCONSCIOUS ALONG A NARROW
COPING WHILE CROWDS BELOW
LOOKED ON.

While thousands looked on expecting AT any
moment to see it end in a tragedy, woman
was rescued from a burning building at No. loo
Thrd-ave. yesterday afternoon. The hero in
the case is Thomas Delehanty, of No. 1J3 Third
ave, the adjoining house. His work was de-
clared by those who saw II superb exhibition
OF cool nerve
The woman is Mrs Mary Paterson She is
twenty-siX years old She came so near to los
ing her life that she is now i'll from the shock
and her condition is serious.
The building Is a three-story brick. The
ground floor is occupied by Mellon van Tollal,
who uses it for milk store. The second floor
is untenanted. Mrs. Paterson lived in the front
part of the third or top floor. while Aaron Cat
Ian lived in the rear.
The fire started in the basement. 1t spread to
the airshaft and then to the third floor The
only person at home seemed to be Mrs. Pater-
SON. She had been sleeping. and awakened
by the cracking of the flames. Her room was
becoming filed with smoke, and the fire had
cut off the stairway The voman so fright
ened that she ran to the front window and pre-
pared to jump. Somebody in the street saw her
A cry of horror went up.
Don't jump, The iremen coming!" yelled
a score of people. But the flames near her.
She stood the SILL covered her eyes with her
hands. and would have jumped if she had not
been seized
Thomas Delehanty lives on the third floor of
the next building and on a level with Mrs. Pat
erson's rooms. He heard the crowd and saw
her peril. There is an 1S-inch stone ledge run
ming along under the windows Of the two houses
and out on this Deehanty crawed. The smoke
was pouring out Of the windows of No. loo in
binding Volumes and he was at the window
where Mrs Paterson stood almost before the
crowd realized it.
Every one wanted to cheer. They didn't dare
however. as it might have cost Delehantys S
nerve. and there was too much at stake
Don't move and be quiet" he called to Mrs
Paterson She looked at him and then fell for
ward i'm a faint. The weight of the woman and
the peculiarly awkward position in which he
had to stand almost sent the two over the ledge
into the street. But grasping a blind with the
right hand and holding the unconscious woman
in his left he balanced himself and started
back.
Deehanty had to stop several times to steady
himself but he finally got TO his OWN window
He was quickly relieved of his burden. and was
helped inside.
The cheer that went up as the womans sa1ety
was assured was heard blocks away. Dele
hanty was made lion despite his modest pro-
test that lit amt nuthin'.
