LARGE WAREHOUSE
WAS DYNAMITED,
Disastrous Work of Fl nds
Yesterday.
LUMPkN IS BADLY FIREswEPT
Tondee Warehouse and That of Car
ter s. Patterson Destroyed With
Contents of ..cotton-BeIieved Lat
ter Warehouse Was Blown Up.

Americus' little neighbor, Lump
kin, suffered yesterday from the most
disastrous fire in the history of the
town. Two cotton warehouses, con-
tanning over four hundred bales cotton,
were consumed, involving a heavy
loss, probably exceeding $4,000.
The warehouse of Capt. W. q. Ton
dee and that of Carter & Patterson.
were the properties destroyed.
The Tondee warehouse contained
about 100 bales cotton and the Carter.
Patterson warehouse about 800. The
loss is not less than 5000 while the
total insurance is only $4,000.
The fire was first discovered late the
night before in the Tondee warehouse.
The Lumpkin fire department did eff
cient work and kept the flames con-
fined there, thus preventing a spread
to neighborlng property. This house
and all contents were burned.
Capt. Tondee lost, in addition to
that part of the cotton burned, a guam
tity offeed stuff, mule, a horse and
buggies. His insurance will cover
three-fourths of his loss,
The warehouse was owned by Mrs.
NE. G. Moreland, was worth $4,000 and
was insured for 81, Zoo. Two tenement
houses. occupied by negroes, and own
ed by Mrs. MoreIand and Miss Geor-
gia Fort, were burned.
There were stored in the warehouse
$500 worth of collins and caskets be-
longing to r. F. Hobbs & Company.
They were destroyed. The collins
we're not insured
Four hours later the town was again
alarmed by the fire cry.
This alarm was preceded by a deaf
enipg explosion, heard for several
miles in the country, and Immediately
the warehouse of Carter & Patterson,
located quarter mile from the Tondee
warehouse, burst into flames and was
soon burning brlskIy.
From the very first 1t was seen that
the building was doomed.
The explosives used, as now believ-
ed, spread the fire over the building
and it was quickly a vortex of lurid
flames. The 300 bales cotton fell
prey to the fiery monster.
The fact that this latter building, a
substantial brick structure. was far re-
moved from the first fire; the sound of
the explosion etc, leads to the. belief
that both warehouses were set on fire,
the incendiaries resorting to explosives
to blow up the brick building.
Farmers will lose heavily by the fire,
as much of the cotton burned belonged
to them and was not insured. Ameri-
Gus people, it is said, had stock in one
of the warehouses destroyed.

R0YALTYS VISIT is OVER
Magnificent Farewell to King on
His Departure from Dublin.
Message to Irish People Expresses
Deep Appreciation of Loyalty
Shown the Party.

Dublin, Ireland, July Fixing Ed
ward and Queen Alexandra left Dub
lin by train shortly before noon Sat
urday, accompanied by Princess Vic
toria and their suites, on their way to
Newtownards, County Down, where
they will visit the marquis of London
derry at his Mount Stewart residence.
Notwithstanding the rain the royal
party drove from the vice regal lodge
in open carriages and halted at
Phoenix park to review thousands of
school children, whose volume of
shrill cheering while one of the num-
Der presented bouquet to the queen
was one of the most touching features
OF the Dublin reception of their majes-
ties, which throughout was remarkable
for its enthusiasm and the entire alb
sence of unpleasantness. The route to
the railroad station was packed with
continuously cheering people, who
gave the royal visitors magnificent
farewell.
A message from King Edward to the
Irish people expresses a deep appre-
citation of the loyalty and affection
with which the king and queen were
surrounded during their stay in Dublin
and says his majesty trusts that in
Gods providence the Irish may enjoy
blessings commensurate with the
warmth of their hearts.
After the king left Dublin it was
announced that he had donated $1,000
to the poor of the city.

Bradstreet's says: stock market
liquidation at the expense of industrials
affects sentiment and ignores, but does
not conceal, improvement in the corn
and cotton crops, change for the bet
ter in industrial conditions at New York
and other disturbed centers, and con-
tinued cheerful feeling in western and
southwestern trade circles. The mar
kets for the cereals also reflect selling,
but here the moving feature is the good
crop advices at home and abroad and
the pressure of the excellent quality of
the new wheat arrivals The iron and
steel markets and those for other met
ais feel the reflex action of depression
in securities, and buying is closely re-
stricted even with dropping values,
while the bulls in cotton have given
nearby months and spot cotton another
twist on which record prices have been
recorded, thus rendering the position
of manufacturers still more unsatisfac-
tory"
