SEABOARD AIR LINE.
Satisfactory Progress on the Work OF
Consolidation.

Baltimore, December III. William
Middendorf, of this city, one of the
managers of the syndicate formed to
u~nderWrite the securities of the new
Seaboard Air Line Railway Company,
has returned from Raleigh, N. c.,
where he attended the meeting of the
stockholders of the Raleigh and Gas
ton Railroad Company.
Mr.. Middendorf said the work upon
the various extensions of the new sys-
tenn is progressing rapidly INC through
trains will be in operation in January
or shortly thereafter. Track has been
laid on the extension between Ridge
way N. c., and Petersburg, Va, and
track laying has begun between Pc
tersburg and Richmond. The extension
between Cheraw and Columbia. S.. c.,
is being pushed to completion as rapid
ly as possibly.
Mr.. Middendorf would not discuss
the threatened litigation by Thomas F.
Ryan to prevent the consolidation, but
from another source it vas learned
thai even if Mr.. Ryan brought suit, it
would not affect the final consolidation
of the properties.

standard in this country. 1t should be
presented to the business men of the
country as a Christmas gift Mr..
bolivar said he did not want his rec
ord and past follies to be brought up
against him. He had voted for the
Sherman act of 1890, an act which he
now regarded as a piece of unutterable
stupidity.
Are you willing now" interrupted
Mr.. Sims, of Tennessee, that the minis
should be opened to silver If an inter
national agreement could be obtained?"
NO, SIR" replied Mr.. bolivar. Il
have had my last whirl with silver.
I have been humbugged for the last
time"
Mr.. Dirivar recalled Mr.. Bryan's
prophecy hat the gold standard could
not be enacted without a universal fall
of prices. us there a man in his
chamber" he asked, who will rise in
his place and say that Mr.. Bryan knew
what he was talking about?"
Not a democrat rose. Mr.. bolivar
paused, reiterated mis- question, and
hen resumed. 1T is then confessed
that in a question which goes to the
heart Of the controversy, Mr.. Bryan
lacked wisdom"
Mr.. Mcclellan, of New York, oppos-
ed the bill. Il do not wish it under
Stood" said he, that I advocate the
present system Of bank note curren-
cy. The first direct consequence Of the
enactment of this bill will be a very
great rise in the market price of gov
eminent bonds. The substitution of the
word gold for the word coin would
result in an unearned bonus of over
$50, 000, 900 10 the holders of the loan of
1895 alone"
Mr.. Dearmond, Of Missouri, followed
in opposition to the bill. Replying to
MI. bolivar he said the democrats had
not been o~verbOrne in 1896 in the con-
f1ict of reason, but the republican par
ty had won by summoning to their air
the corrupt and tremendous power Of
money and corporations. He charged
the republicans with deceiving the peo-
pie in 1896. They were bimetalIists
then. If they were honest then they
must be dishonest now, if honest now
dishonest then. The change of the
bonds from coin to gold bonds, he said,
would make a free gift of 500, 900, 00O
to the bond holders.
Mr.. Greene, of Pennsylvania, then
announced the death of his colleague,
the late Mr.. Edmund Trout, of Penn
sylvania and at 5:55 O'clock p. m, as

The Loss 81 200. 900 Arlington Hotel,
Masonic Templcand other Handsome
Buildings Burned.
Especial to Columbia state.p

Especial to Columbia stated
Augusta, Ga. December lO.-Augusta
has just had the biggest fire OF record
In the past fifty years. and at the pres
ent hour over one million dollars worth
of property in the heart OF the city is
in ruins
At . o'clock this morning an alarm OF
fire was sent in and when the depart
ment reached the scene 1t was discov-
cred that the mammoth establishment
Of >. b. White a. Co. was "A mass OF
fame.
1t is not known how long the fire
had been raging within, but when dis
covered IL was soon seen that the great
building with ITS immense stock OF dry
goods, clothing. shoes and carpets. as
well as the Wholesale department
above, was doomed. Shortly after
the arrival OF the fire DEPART
ment the flames began to spread To the
adjoining buildings and to get beyond
the control OF the fremen.
The Masonic temple was in a short
time enveloped in flame. and so intense
was the heat that IL was impossible To
save any part OF the stock in the
stores on the lower floor.
Every effort was made to save the
Arlington hotel, but in vain. and the
only creditable public inn which the
city had fell a victim to the fire fiend.
AT this ju%ncture Chief Roulette. see
ing that he had the hardest fight of his
life on hand, telegraphed to Savannah
and Macon for aid, which was prompt
ly promised.
While the fire was aging and the
walls crashing on Broad street, the
sparks were falling In showers over
the buildings on Ellis street In the rear
Of the burning buildings, and the liv-
cry stables of ]. NJ. Richards, Morris
& Co. and the old Shades saloon soon
~succumbed.
The fremen fought like tigers. and
after a heroic struggle finally succeed
ed in getting the fire under control by
daylight.
The only accident reported occurred
when the Arlington hotel walls fell. a
humble of loose bricks striking the
fremen who were playing on the fire
from that point. 1t is rumored that an
old negro working for Morris IL Co.
has been burned. but this rumor lacks
| confirmation
The insurance on the building and
stock OF the J. b. White establishment
amount TO about $3.50, 600. but his loss
will go even beyond that amount. Ii
is said that he will not open again, but
viii retire, and rent his property. Hs
has been for years the merchant prince
| OF Augusta
Nearly all the buildings and stock
| of the other losers were well covered
! by insurance.
1t is to be hoped that Augusta will
see ere long a first class modern hotel
erected on the site OF the old Airing
ton.
Augusta, December I0.-The loss by
the great Sunday fire will approximate
81, 900, 900.
