ENGINE NOT BADLY DAMAGED.

Wednesday, at the scene of the re-
cent fire which destroyed the Eureka
Company's Potash Factory, at Macon,
the Salvage Corps was put to work,
and after much of the debris had been
removed it was found that the engine,
valued at $4,000, and some other parts
of the factory outfit, were in a much
better condition than was thought
would be the case. This means a con-
siderable saving to the insurance COM
