THOUGH BIRMINGHAM ENGINE DID NOT GET THERE, PEOPLE APPRECIATE THE PROMPT Ac. TIoN-HALF TOWN BURNED.

CalerH, June 5.-(Special.)-A disastrous fire destroyed half the business portion of Calera last night.
 About 11:20 fire was discovered in the back part of Stein's saloon on the cor ner of Railroad and Main streets. AL though the fire appeared to have Just started when first discovered it gained headway so rapidly that the saloon was consumed before anything could be saved from It. The fire then caught on the two story frame store house occupied by D. C. Honeycutt. grocer, and from there spread to the adjoining buildings on the west side of Main street and did not stop until 1t reached the corner of the block
 Six store buildings in all were com pletely destroyed, Buildings across on eral times and 1t was only by hard work on the part of the citizens that that side of the street was saved The citizens did excellent work, however and prevented the fire spreading outside of the row in which 1t originated and saved practical ly everything from out of the buildings with the exception of the saloon. Bir- mingham was telegraphed to send aid and promptly responded by starting a fire engine on a special train for Ca- lera, but before the engine reached here the citizens had succeeded in getting the fire under control and so telegraphed and had the special turned back. The losses are as follows:
 S. Stein. loss $500. insurance s100O
 G. J. Wright, two store buildings, loss S2500, no insurance.
 r, Stein two store buildings, loss $1250, insurance $500.
 J. Holcombe. one double store build ing, loss s1250, no insurance.
 II. Aronson, goods damaged by remov- al, fully covered by insurance.
 D. c. Honeycutt. goods damaged by re- moval, no insurance.
 The origin of the fire is unknown. mingham did not reach here, the citi- mingham did not reach here. the cjti- zens of Calera appreciate her prompt response none the less.

Americans Not Buying seats.

New York, June 8.-Nany erroneous rue mors have been current respecting the number of Americans who have been in- Tribune. It is not probable that more than half a dozen Americans will be among the privileged spectators. Henry White and John R. Carter will naturally attend the coronation owing to their official positions, and also J. P. Morgan, Jr.. for the same reason. but there is no for the foolish talk about the American millionaires buying their way to the best seats

Glee Club and Orchestra Concert

The College Glee Club and Orchestra
were greeted by good house at the
opera house Wednesday evening on the
occasion of their second annual home
concert and judging by the applause
and number of encores, the crowd was
satisfied. OF the orchestral elections
those deserving OF special mention are
the selections from king Dodo'
(Luder), "cupid's Garden" MAX
Eugene, and Ramona (Loraine). Mr.
Lester Sharp fairly captured the audi
ence by his excellent performance on
the violin of Sixth Air yarie, (DeBeriot)
The Glee Club got fair share of ap.
plause Perhaps their best number
was the Medley. Mr.. McBride's solo
was very well received

credit is due the efficient director Prof
