FIRE BURNED FIERCELY
WHILE FIREMEN
LOOKED ON.
A Thousand People Saw Flames Licking Stores
on West Side of West Broad Street, from
Jones to Stewart, at an Early Hour This
Morning, While Feeble Streams Left
the NOZZIeS
the NoZzIeS.

Fire was discovered in the furniture
store of L. S. Price at No. 400 West
Broad street shortly after l o'clock
this morning.
In twenty minutes the block from
where Berrien, Sims and Stewart
streets intersect just opposite the I'm
ion Station, TO within two doors of
Jones street was in flames.
Although the fire department prompt
ly answered the alarm from box 30, on
Wayne and West Broad streets, that
was sounded by Patrolman Nose Davis
the fire burned merrily on.
There was little or no water to be
had and the flames jumped from one
compartment to another almost with
out interference.
The firemen were powerless for about
twenty minutes, although they finally
got plenty of water.
The damage had been done then,
however, and had a strong wind been
blowing the entire block would have
already been consumed.
Because of the fact that there was
no wind the Union Station was at no
time in any danger. Had there been
a strong wind, however there would
have been a different story.
Damaged Buildings.
The damaged buildings are one be-
longing to L. S. Price some two doors
north of Stewart street, and one be-
longing to Harry Lange, built on the
corner of West Broad and Stewart
streets. Each structure is a light
built two-story frame house, of which
the lower floors are divided into many
small stores, and the upper ones used
for sleeping apartments and store
rooms.
The fire started. it is supposed, in
one of the stores in the Price building,
either that occupied by II. Samuels,
ieweler, or that of Price himself. 1t
burned so rapidly that practically the
whole of the Price building was
afiame by the time the fire department
reached the scene. Even then, such
was the nature of the buildings, 1t
spread to the Lange building, which
was soon afire on it's northern end, and
with smoke pouring through every
aperture on all sides.
In the Price building is located a ne
gro barber shop conducted by j. I.
Burton, the Union Jewelry store of H.
Samuels', an Office of the Georgia
Steam Laundry and L. S. Prices fur

SOCIOLOGICAL
CONVENTION
CLOSES
A Small Attendance
Prompted Members
to Stop Their I'm
portant Session.

The second convention of the Georgia
State Sociological Society is over.
1t was adjourned quite suddenly yes
terday morning after the officers for
the coming year had been elected, such
changes as were necessary made in the
committees, and one paper read.
1t had been intended to have the ses-
sions last through to-day, but because
of the small attendance it was decided
to hurry through with the work of the
meetings and close. The new officers
are:
President-Rev. c. B. Wilmer of At
Ianta.
First Vice President-Rev. DR.. ]. D.
Jordan of Savannah.
Second Vice President-Dr. w. B.
Parks of Atlanta.
Secretary--Rev. C. A. Langston of
Atlanta
Treasurer-Mr. NJ. NJ. Parks of Sa-
vannah.

decided to hold the next meeting of the
society in Atlanta, the second Tuesday
in May, 1904.
Before adjourning the society passed
resolutions of thanks for courtesies re-
ceiVed from the press, the hotels, the
Committee of Arrangements, and Mr.
John Wolf the florist; and also pass
ed resolutions indorsing a board of
health for the state, and medical in
spectton of the schools.
One paper as read at the meeting,
that of Rev. j. l.. Scully, rector of
St. Pauls Church, which treated of
Recreation in Education" 1t had
been the intention of the society to
spend yesterday afternoon visiting the
orphan homes and charity institutions
of the city, but this plan was abandon
ed along with the remainder of the
programme. Those in attendance at
the convention left for their homes
last night
On all sides it was regretted that the
convention adjourned so abruptly and
that it was not a success. This was
due to no fault of President HERS or
the local members, but rather to the
fact that at this time there are sew
eral conventions in session that direct
ly conflict with the sociological So
ciety.

nitllre store. and the Union Bargain
House. conducted by D. Friedman. The
building is worth $1,000, and was in
sured for probably a little more than
half that sum. Mr.. Price states that
in addition to the loss on the building,
he will lose heavily on his stock which
was new and large, valued at $4,000
and insured for about half that sum.
None of the proprietOrs of the other
businesses in the building could be
found in the vicinity of the blaze, but
unless their stock is insured each will
loose heavily, for what the fire spared
was ruined by water.
The LANCE building was only slight
ly burned consequently the damage is
amply covered by insurance. The build
ing cost about $500 and was insured
for $4,000. In addition LANCE had his
stock covered with a policy for $4,000
and his fixtures with another policy for
$780, The part of the building burned
was the northern end.
Lange lived over his place and had
some little difficulty in getting out be-
cause of the smoke. He was in no
immediate danger, however.
Samuels lived on the second floor of
Prices building up to a few days ago.
Had he been there when the fire was
discovered he might have been cremat-
ed.
Fought Under Difficulties.
The first alarm brought out consid-
cradle apparatus and when the place
was reached connections were made
promptly, and hose lines run out. The
men with the pipes approached the
fire and waited for water, but the fee
BILE streams that came from the noz-
zles hardly reached to the second story
windows.
Another alarm was sent in and other
apparatus arrived, and still the fire
continued, almost as before for the
water pressure appeared to be a minus
quantity. There were a thousand spec
tators in the streets and all were Won
dering what was the trouble, but no
one present was willing to answer the
question.
The firemen, by heroic work and by
exposure to a terrific heat by proxim-
ity, prevented the spread of the flames
to No. All, and the place north of the
barber shop.
A very light breeze, hardly percepti-
BILE, was favorable to the firemen, for
it forced the heat outward, instead of
against the next buildings, and this
was no doubt responsible for the fact
that only the places abaze when the
department arrived were burned. The
fire ignited the large telephone cables
running directly in front of the block
and they were damaged for a consid-
cradle length.
When the pressure of water was
finally secured the work of extinguish-
ing the fire was prompt and effective.

draw His Withdrawal.
Ocalo., Fla, June 24-There seems
to have been some misunderstanding
about Gen. Bullock's candidacy for
Governor, and Mr.. c. NJ. Downs with
drawal from the race.
Gen. Bullock said yesterday that he
was undecided whether to make the
race or not, and Mr.. Brown says to-
day that while he promised to support
Gen. Bullock, if the General runs, yet
he feels that in justice to himself and
his friends he will have to withdraw
that promise unless the General makes
a formal announcement of his candi-
dacy in a few days.
Mr.. Brown believes that the coming
campaign will be one of the warmest
ever waged in Florida, and that it
behooves every man who intends to
be a candidate to be UP and doing.

produce such symptoms as cold feet
and hands, sick headache palpitation

Then begins a series of experiments
with medicine. They take medicine for
sick headache. They take medicine for

medicines do any good because they do
not reach the cause of the complaint.
Peruna at once mitigates all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh is the trouble. Sys-

secure the consent of his brother
Charles to send an account of his rea-
sons for marrying to all his preachers
and societies. and to desire their pray
ers. 1t must be confessed that here
was perilous variety of preliminar-
les.
WeSIcy's brother Shocked.
When Charles Wesley received his
brothers letter, he was shocked that
his brother should think of marrying
woman who had been a domestic ser
want; and believing that it would break
up all their societies, he did not wait
to write, but FASTENED at once to his
side He assured John that all their
preachers would leave them, and all
their societies would dispense, if he
married so mean a woman.
John Wesley replied to his brother
that the meanness Of Grace Murrays
origin was no objection in his eyes, for
he loved her not for her birth, but
for her qualities. He charac-
terized her as being remarkably neat:
nicely frugal, yet not sordid; gifted
with large amount of common sense;
indefatigably patient and inexpressibly
tender; quick, clearly and skillful of
an engaging behavior, and of a mild,
sprightly, cheerful and yet serious
temper; while, lastly, her gifts of use
fulness were such as he had not seen
equalled
After listening to this eloquent de-
scription. Charles Wesley was convinc-
ed that he was working at the wrong
end of the line. He babe his brother
farewell, and proceeded the next morn
ing directly to where Grace Murray
was staying. Meeting the intended
bride, he said "Grace Murray, YOU
have broken my heart" By some
means he persuaded her to go with
him to Newcastle, where he had prob
ably arranged for John Bennett to be
waiting. She fell at her lovers feet,
acknowledged she had used him i'll,
and begged him to forgive her. Charles
Wesley remained with them until six
days later, and to his unspeakable
joy he had the privilege of witnessing
their marriage. Three days afterward
John Wesley had an interview with
Bennett and his wife. Instead of up
broading him, Wesley kissed Bennett
and parted with them both in peace.
This was undoubtedly a great sor-
row to Wesley. He poured forth the
anguish of his heart in a long hymn
of thirty-one six-line stanZas
THE iron quality of John Wesley's
manhood, and the sublime fortitude of
which he was capable, comes out in
the fact that the very next day after
his trying meeting with Bennett and
his wife, concerning which he wrote
to friend, I believe you never saw
such a scene he proceeded on his
preaching tour, preaching once at Bris-
toll and twice at Leeds.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-06-25

Many questions naturally arise con-
corning this remarkable conduct on
the part of Grace Murray. one of
Wesley's most painstaking biograph-
ers believed that throughout this af-
fair John Wesley was a dupe, Grace
Murray a fiirt, John Bennett a cheat,
and Charles Wesley a sincere, but ir-
ritated, impetuous and oftcous friend.
lone of Bennets friends was
probably nearer the mark who told
Bennett while Grace was turning from
one to the other, If Grace Murray
consults her aspirations. she will marry
Mr.. Wesley If she cOnsults her love
she will marry you Taking into con-
sideration the fact that for thirty years
she was Bennet's happy wife, and
widely respected mother of children
who rose up to call her blessed, we
may probably find the solution of her
strange conduct in battle royal be-
tween her ambition and her love
Two years after Wesley's unhappy
courtship Of Grace Murray he had the
misfortune to slip on the ice in cross

force, the bone of his ankle striking
