people SupPleo. Alexander City, June 14.-(Special.)- Now that the smoke of the confiagration of yesterday evening has begun to clear work of disaster an accurate and care fully revised report has been made The confiagration hero has not a par allel ia history from the fact that not a single store of any sort out of the forty seven business houses in town was left standing.
 Not single barber shop, not an office of any lind is left. and while your cor respondent, whose entire insurance out fit was destroyed, is writing this article, he is himself without pen or ink, for not a pen nor even bottle of ink can be purchased in town. ard If a man today wsnted dozen eggs or a peck of pota- chief 1t positively could not be pur- chased in Alexander City.
 In the face of all this, which the pen or painter would stand dumb in an effort to portray, the business men have rallied within this short space of twenty-four hours, and as this is being written an hundred hammers and saws arc telling the world that fire and smoke are not the master.
 Temporary Business Houses. Within five to ten days there will be twenty temporary business houses again open, and every effort made to fill the necessary demand. Many merchants and both druggists have already wired for stocks to be shipped imme diately, and 10 fill this immediate demand for provisions needed the nearby towns have been kind to the extent that already two carloads cf ratlcns from Sylacauga and Dade- vile have arrived, and one carload of clothing and provisions expected from Birmingham.
