 Collector of Cherokee.
HE CONVlCTS WILL DINE

Montgomery, December 21.-(Special.)- J. Reports on the books of the Dallas coun- ty officials were filed with the governor today. The reports were made by State Examiner German, and are most credit able to the Dallas officials.
 The records of Probate Judge P. H. Pitts, Tax Assessor J. H. Lumpkin, Tax Collector c. P. Morrison, Superintendent of Education D. M. Galloway and Sheriff F. M. Blackwell are reported without er- TOT. J. B. Evans, clerk of the city court. seems to have been somewhat confused as to the payment of solicitors fees, and several fees that should have been paid into the state treasury had been turned over to the county treasurer The items were corrected. Theo. Lacey, clerk of the circuit court, was due the state $S.50 on cost bills for the collection of which he had failed to issue executions. Mr Lacey had also paid $3O in solicitors fees into the county treasury that should have been paid into the state treasury. Neces- sary steps to correct these errors have been taken.
 MT. German says the lands of Dallas county are assessed at an average value of A per acre. which, from the best evi- dence obtainable, is about GO per cent of tne real market value. The assessments for the past three year0 have been as follows: 1901, $9,017847; 1902, $9,273 PA 1903, $9, ,582, I35.

FIREMAN CRUSHED
 BENEATH THE WALL
SERIOUS FIRE IN NEW YORK CAUSES PANIC AMONG ITALIAN TENANTS AND RESULTS IN THE DEATH OF BATTALION CHIEF.

New York, December 21.-The famous Two Nines'' fire alarm summoning more fire apparatus than any other alarm provided for by NeX York's fire department, was sounded tonight for a terrific fire which destroyed the six story factory building of the Hermann Furniture and Plumbing Cabinet works in Mott street, and the four-story var nish factory of the firm, run under the name of the IT. Hermann Lumber com , pany. A quarter of a million dollars damage was done.
 Battalion Chief Martin Coleman perish- ed in the fall of two great walls of the factory.
 There was a frghtful panic among the Italian inmates of the swarming front and rear tenements in the rear of the burning buildings, and the fire men and police reserves from three pre- cincts had the utmost difficulty in get ting the people out to the street Battalion Chief Coleman had entered the building with number of other men including Lieutenant Jones and Father | Smith, the first department chaplain.
 They were about twenty-five feet in- side when fire came through the walls and the building shook. The f1remen saw the danger and dashed for the out side. The chaplain escaped but beam fell and hit Coleman and Jones, pinning them to the floor. Father Smith, with three firemen, turned back to the rescue and dragged out Jones, who had managed | to stagger to his feet. Jones, in pulling himself out, felt for Coleman. He found him so pinned he could not rescue him.
 After the building had been totally de- stroyed the body of Coleman was found wedged under fallen debris, in such a position that the firemen were unable to reach it. Coleman won the Bennett me- dal for bravery eight years ago for res cuing two women from boarding house fire in East Tenth street.
 Richard Joyce, a fireman who was ap- pointed only ten days ago. was reported missing after the fire was out He was last seen in the building just before the walls fell

BOND ISSUE DENIED.
A Readjustment of southerns Finances
 Has Been Considered.

New York, December 21.-Reports that the Southern railroad was about to make a bond isue, were authoritatively denied today, though It is a fact that roadjust- ment of the companys finances has been considered from time to time. The owner ships and leases of many small lines con trolled by the Southern, have to an ex tent, complicated the general finances of the system, and 1t Is thought that at some time soon the directors will direct an issue of refunding bonds which will cover prac- tically all existing issues.
