BEAULIEU HOUSE BURNED
The Dwelling of Capt. w. ID. Dixon
Totally Destroyed.

The Beaulieu residence of Capt. w. D.
Dixon, with its entire contents, was burn
ed late Wednesday night.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Dixon had driven
out to the house during the afternoon and,
though expecting to return to the city for
the night delayed their start hoping that
the rain which was coming down in tor
rents would let up. The colored servant
had, at their suggestion, closed the house
for the night, with the exception of the
dining room in which they eat. This work
being finished the servant had set the Ian
tern that she had been using at the foot
of the stairs and gone home,
AT about $50 O'clock as the rain still con-
tinued and Mrs. Dixon was drowsy she
lay down on a sofa and went to sleep. Mr.
Dixon, who sat in a chair near The sofa
also went to sleep only to awaken sud
denly an hour or SO later and see that
the door that led out from the dining
room into the hall was burning and had
heen burning so long that the edges were
trimmed with live Goals Waking Mrs
Dixon he hurried her out through a ear
door and then returned 10 the room ana
carried out the top Of desk in Whlcn
Capt. Dixon had some valuable papers
He also made a second trip and managed
to get out the lower part OF the desk. 1hlS

tent of the fire and opened the
door of the hall only 10 find that every
thing in sight was blazing. The door Civ
ing way from it's fastenings, the flames
rushed into the dining room and forced
him out. BY this time the whole house
was wrapped in flames, and as il was I'M
possible toeenter it for the purpose of saw
ing anything, Mr.. and Mrs. Dixon could
only stand and watch ii burn.
AT o'clock the entire structure had
been destroyed and lay a heap Of smolder-
ing ashes.
The house was a two-story wooden one,
and was formerly owned by Col. Charles
H. Olmstead. There was some insurance
on il, but not enough 10 cover the loss,
though Capt Dixon expects to rebuild
shortly. 1t is supposed that the fire start
ed from the lantern which the colored
servant had left at the foot of the stairs.

MANY TAX DEII\GUENTS,
Nearly 1000 Property Owners Have
Not Made Returns


The tax assessors Office will be closed to-
day on account of the holiday. As the
time allowed for making tax returns closes
with this week there is only one more
day. Saturday, in which to make returns.
Even should there bora rush al the as

be great many who will have failed 90

turns.
Up to the close Of yesterday there had
only been about $500 returns received out
of total Of 1850 taxpayers whose names
are on the assessors books This means
that there are still in the neighborhood
OF 2,Oc0 taxpayers to make returns, and
the probability Is that only a fraction Of
this number, not exceeding 10 per cent
al any rate, will succeed in making their
returns tomorrow
There is always a disposition to be tardv
in making tax returns, and a number OF
delinquents carried over each year but
this year the number is unusually large.
Owing to the number of small properties
purchased by the Georgia Construction
Company for the union depot and termf-
nal purposes, a considerable number of
small taxpayers have been temporarily
wiped off the books, but this number
should have been more than made up by

The grocery store Of tile John T. Evans
Co., No. 116 Congress street. west, was
broken into early yesterday morning and
robbed of about 81 and some goods, though
how much Mr.. Evans was not able to say.
The robber smashed the upper part Of
one of the glass doors on Barnard street.
These doors are protected by heavy wire
grating to within about eighteen inches
of the top Through this unprotected
part the thief threw half brick, knocking
out the pane and then crawled through.
The brick was found in the store.
There was no light left in the store when
it was closed Wednesday night, and in
order TO facilitate his search for the cash
the thief was forced to make one. This
he did by lighting matches. half burnt
matches being scattered On the counter
near the cash register from which The
money was taken. When the search for
money had been competed he took a num-
Der of cigars and a few TASKS of whisky,
and, opening the ST. Julian street door,
walked out.
The robbery was discovered about 6
o'clock by one of the clerks when he went
to open the store. The police were no
titied and Detective Scully was put 10
work on the case.

THE HOSPITAL PROPOSITION.
Commissioners and Aldermen VIII
Confer This Afternoon.


The City Council Will meet this after
noon at the cali of the Mayor for the pur-
pose of disposing of various matters. AS
Mayor Myers contemplates a business trip
10 New York, and expects to be absent
several days he will probably submit his
annual report for 1899.
The most interesting feature of the meet
ing, however is likely to be the confer
ence between the County Commissioners
and the Committee of the Whole of Coun-
ell to consider the proposition made by
the hospitals of the city 10 grant repre-
sentation to the city and county on their
boards Of managers. Upon the result of
this conference is likely 10 depend The ac-
ceptance or rejection of the proposition.
As Council appears to be about equally
divided on this question: the decision is
likely to rest with the County Commits
sioners and the side to which they in
cline is likely to prevail. The commits
sioners have had very little TO say in the
matter so far, having left the fight almost
entirely to Council, and it is not known
what position they viii take. The indica-
tons are, however, that they will favor
a conservative course.
Should the Committee of the Whole be
ready to submit a report to Council i'm
mediately after the conference the mat
ter may be disposed of at once. Alder
man Williams is out of the city and is
not expected back until tomorrow This
weakens the hospital side, as he has been
counted upon to vote for acceptance Those
who favor acceptance of the proposition
count upon five votes, as against four
positively opposed to acceptance and think
they stand a fair chance with the other
two votes should there be a fun meeting
of the board. The outcome of the mat
ter will be awaited with considerable in

The church is now engaged in putting
in a new baptstry. Col Price proposes
to line this baptistry with the copper
taken from moonshine stills. He esti-
mates that it will require about twenty
stills for this work. Col. Price has con-
siderable influence with the moonshiners.
At his request several have quit the whis-
ky business and donated their stills for
the work. In order 90 insure he requisite
number, however, Col. Price has secured
an order from the internal revenue de-
Partment that the deputy marshals, in
breaking up the stills in that district shall
not destroy them by making an inward
cut on the side or body of the still, as IS
usually done. but that holes shall be driven
in the bottom or soles of the stills, after
which they are to be turned over TO him
for church purposes.
You see, we care nothing about the

wish to preserve" said Col Price The
