The New Court House.

All of the county officials are now bus fly engaged in getting their books and records straightened out in the new court house. Everything is in confusion. but will be in apple-pie order soon. The carpenters and painters are at work putting on tho finishing touches and it will be some months yet before the court house Is finished in its entirety.
 J. W. Hood & Co. of Montgomery fail ed to crarv out their contract with the County of Dallas to complete the build- ing. Their bondsmen, a guaranty com- pany, was notified by the Board of Rev. enue, to take charge of the construction and finish the building according to the terms of the bond. At first the guaranty company refused to answer the letters Of the Board. but finally man was sent here and he positively refused to do any thing toward finishing the building and said that they were going to stand on their rights
 The Board of Revenue then took charge of the building. It spent the amount that the contract with Hood X Co. said that the county should reserve until the court house was completed. That amount was exhausted and still the court house was not finished. Judge Pitts informs your representative that the exact sum to finish the court house, over and above the contract price with Hood & Co.,, will be calculated and a lawyer has already been employed and the guaranty company will be sued on it's bond. The amount will be somewhere | between 5000 and $7,000.
 The suit will be brought in Dallas but the guaranty company is a non- resident concern, it will probably appeal the case to the United States Court. Ii is thought that the county is amply pro- tected by the bond, which is ina the sum of $l0.000. The Board of Revenue will not allow any stone tn go unturned to fully protect the county against loss that may accrue because of the failure of Heed X O. to carry out their con tract to build the new court house for $3S, 900.

 It has been rumored for several weeks
 past that certain citizens of this town were working up a plan to put up a canning factory here. A well authenti- cated report says that such an enterprise is to be established in this city at no distant day and that the names Of the men who are at the head of the enter prise are Dr. w. B. Williamson, Of this city and E. R. McCrary of Brooklyn. That canning factory is badly needed here there Is no doubt, and will. be a paying investment for the men who op- crate 1t, for there are thousands Of bush. els of vegetables and fruit that go to waste every summer in this vicinity that could be put in cans and used not only for home consumption. but for foreign trade, also,
 It is also stated by Dr. Williamson, one of the promoters of the enterprise, that | the capacity of his plant will be about | 3. GOO cans per day and that they will De ready in about three weeks to commence canning fruit and vegetables.

THE COLUMBUS FIRE
EXTEND OF LOSS NOT REALIZED
 UNTIL YESTERDAY.
Assessed Valuation of the Property Burned Was $256, 900, Far Short of the Actual Loss-Insur-
 ance Only $12O,0o0.

Columbus, Ga. April 11.-(Special)-1t was not until today that the full extent of last nights fire was realized. Two blocks so recently busy manufacturing districts, and now in ashes, tell their grim story. The firemen fought the fire the entire night. but the department was inadequate to cope, with the situation. Had the wind been blowing al even a moderate rate, the entire city south of Ninth Street would have been at the mercy Of the flames. seconu fire broke out about midnight Tn Friedlander's bag ging factory. Only q fire wall separated this from the Poe Warehouse Which. with 2.3O0 bales of cotton was saved almost piraculously.
 The almost hopeless tumble of tele- graph, electric light and telephone wires throughout the ire district was restored to something like order today. Before ! O clock this morning the Central Railroad had timber on the ground and force of hands rebuilding the approach to the Mobile and Girard bridge, 200 feet of which was burned. A force of hands is working tonight under rays Of numerous arc lights. Transfers are made by private conveyance and trains are running as usual. stopping on the Alabama side,
 The directors of the Iron Works Com pany will meet tomorrow to decide about rebuilding. While the capital stock was only $12O.000. the stock was worth more than seven for one, and not share has been sold in the open market in fifteen years At the duilest season, with only $50 men employed the monthly pay roll was $10,000. The safe was opened today and the books and papers were found in- tact. That portion of the iron works plant destroyed was Insured for $96. 900. Rate on this class of risk is SO high that nothing Nike full insurance was carried.
 Friedlander's loss Is $l5,0Oo with $S00O insurance. Smaller losses range from $500 to g, 900.
 The city Is still almost stunned by the disaster. Several negroes are missing. but Ed Norman, who was killed by fall ing wall, is the only one known to be dead. Fayet Robinson and Jack Vann were badly hurt.
 The total assessed valuation of the property burned was $256.0oo, far short or the actual loss. The total insurance was S120.000.
