Wants to Arrange q Connection
That Will be Observed.

Mr.. Frank Mcneil, chairman of the
corporation commission, arrived in the
city yesterday morning and VIII be here
until this afternoon.
That is a right hard problem the
corporation commission ha to solve In
regard to the Selma Connection, is it
not" a representative of The Messen-
ger asked Mr.. McNeill yesterday. He
replied in the affirmative and stated
hat schedules We're exceedingly hard
to arrange at all times and that these
were especially hard. Mr. Mcneil said
the commission started out with the
intention Of requiring the Southern and
Coast Lime to arrange a schedule that
would be of some benefit to those who
wanted to make the Selma connection.
For some he. said the roads had
advertised that close connection was
made at Selma. but he stated that the
trains were run IN such a that
they scarcely eyer made the connection.
Mr.. MCNEIL stated tina 1t would
probably be some days before they
would make known their decision in
this case. 8

There is without q doubt some one in
this city who has been setting Gre to
different buildings. There were three
fires last night and two of them, Chief
Schnibben, Of the fire department says,
were of incendiary origin
The first fire occurred at about "a
and was in a two story frame building
on Second street, between Princess and
Market. The second story of the build
ing was occupied by Hettie Jones, COL
ored. who kept a boarding house and
the first floor by James Dry. who ran
a pressing club. and there was also a
restaurant on this floor owned by Het-
tie Jones.
The ire started in a pile Of trash n
der the stairway on the second floor.
In an exceedingly short time after the
fire was discovered the entire top Of the
building was in a mas Of flames. It
was an old frame building and burned
rapidly. The firenen soon got the fire
under control.
The damage to the building is said
to be about $500 but the damage to the
contents is unknown.
The roof of the brick building adj
Joining this building caught on fire but
was quickly extinguished. While the
fire on Second street was raging fire
was Scovered m the Purcell alley.
which is directxly across the street
from where the first fire occurred.
The IRE in the alley occurred in two
stables rented by James Wilson. This
IRE was quickly eXtinguiShed with sew
eral buckets of water.
The firemen lad not succeeded In
entirely extinguishing the fire on Sec
ond street when fire was discovered on
the second foo of the building occu-
pied by the Atlantic Trust and Bank
ing Company and Chamber of Com
merce. The damage in the Chamber
of Commerce uiiding will amount to
about 500. This fire started from a
box Of paper and trash which was in
the hallway Of the second floor and
which had been set on fire. Those who
saw how this fire started said there
was no doubt in the world about it be-
ing Of dncendiary origin. All of the
fires occurred within about 80 minutes
and were not more than a block n a
half apart.
1t could not be learned last night
what amount of insurance was carried
on the buildings damaged. The frame
building ON Second street was owned
by Mr.. +. Stolter. When the irenen
arrived at this fire it looked like it
would be almost impossible: to save
the building but by efficient werk tae
fire was soon out.
There was a small fire yesterday af-
ternoon at 1:13 o'clock al III SOL
Twelfth street. The house was owned
by r. r. Bellamy and occupied by
George Jones, colored. The fire crigi-
mated from a defective chimney and
the damage is estimated at $25..
Tt was only about two weeks ago
when three fire occurred one afternoon
within a few minutes Of each other and
it was believed that those fireawere OF
incendiary origin. The fires which o.
Cured twoa weeks ago Il those last
night were, all within a radius of w
blocks.
It may be- that none of the fires we've
of incendiary origin, but it certainly
does not appear this way.
