City, place of LOO inhabitants, was prac-
tically destroyed to-day by fire, the loss
reaching at least $4,000. which the insur-

could do was to save what little they could,

Dadeville was telegraphed for dynamite
so that some of the buildings could be de-
stroyed and thus check the progress of
the flames, but it arrived only to find the
central portion of the town a mass Of
ashes. The depot of the Central of Georgia
Railway was burned with all its con-
tents The telegraph Office, two hotels.

cally all the stores and eight residences,
together with numerous law and other
offices, were destroyed.
On account of the fact that the telegraph

it is impossible to obtain exact informa-
ton regarding the fire. The railroad has
established its telegraph lines under a tree
and appeals for help and for food are go
ing out. The loss of valuable papers will
run into the thousands of dollars. The
tracks of the Central of Georgia are so
badly warped that the passenger trains
east and west tonight will have to trans
fer.
The latest estimate of the loss is from

the town to last until Monday.
