WIPED OUT By FIRE.
The Business Portion Of Alexander
City, Ala, Destroyed.

Opelika, Ala, June IA. - The
business portion of Alexander City,
a place Of 1900 inhabitants, was
wiped away by fire, the loss reaching
at least $75OOOO, which the insurance
will not begin to cover.
The flames began in the foundry
and machine works, and the long Pc
riod of hot, dry weather had well pre-
pared the buildings of the little city
for the rapid spread of the flames. A
light wind was blowing, and with
fierce rapidity the fire spread from
building to building until the entire
business portion was a seething mass
of flames.
The place has no water works, and
all the terror-stricken people could do
was to save what little they could,
and then, almost PROSTATE, fee from
the awful heat.
Qadeville was telegraphed for dyn~
alAite so that some of the buildings
could be destroyed and thus check
the progress of the flames, but it ar
rived only to find the city a mass of
ashes.
The depot of the Central of Georgia
railway was burned with all its con-
tents. The telegraph office, two ho-
tells, post ONCE, saloons, livery stable,
practically all the stores and eight
residences, together with numerous
law and other Offices were destroyed.
On account Of the fact that the tele-
graph and telephone Offices having
been destroyed, it is impossible to OBJ
tain exact information regarding the
fire.
The railroad has established fits tel
egraph lines under a tree, and appeals
for help and for food are going out.
The loss of valuable papers will ruin
into the thousands of dollars.
The tracks of the Central of Geor-
gia are so badly warped that the pas
senger trains east and west Friday
night had to transfer.

Qualifications for the sIeuth
Profession.

Sherlock Holmes has promising rival in a
barber known to the Philadelphia Record.
He astOnished one of bis customers the other
day by asking him if he we're not left-hand-
ed. The man admitted that he was, and
suggested that the barber had probably
seen him hang up his hat.
mo" said the barber; Il have other
ways of finding out such things. Il see, too,
that you are bookkeeper."
yes" admitted the customer, "your
guesses are correct. How do you know?"
It's easy" said the barber. "In sham
pooling your head l noticed ink on your hair
at the left temple. This ink, l concluded,
must have got there from pen resting on
your left ear, which indicated that you were
a person who used pen a great deal, as
only such persons use their ears as pen
racks.
THAT didn't convince me that you were
a bookkeeper, however, because a literary
man might stick his pen behind his ear for
convenience. / learned of your profession
when l applied the lather. This made the
ink on your hair wash out, and l discovered
two shades of ink-red and black. Nobody
but bOokkeeper uses red and black ink, so
1t was easy to class you as a bookkeper.
Il knew you were left-handed because the
ink was on the left side-the side that a
left-handed writer would involuntarily use
when sticking his pen back of his ear"
Wonderful, wonderful" said the GUS
toner. Now suppose you stop talking for
awhile, and finish shaving me-
