FIRE BURNED FIERCELY
IN EXCELSIOR PILE.
Prompt Arrival of Firmen Saved
stock of VI. Nathan.

Prompt Arrival of Firmen Saved
stock of VI. Nathan.
What came near being a serious FIRE
was discovered shortly before o'clock
last night in the place of NJ. Nathan,
At Nos. 224-226 Congress street, west.
The prompt arrival of the fire APP
paratus and efficient work after the
alarm was answered prevented the de-
struction of the building and contents.
When the firemen arrived on the scene
large volumes Of smoke were issuing
from the second floor, and the tlre was
burning briskly.
The fire started in a large quantity
Of excelsior and packing, near the ele-
vator shaft, at the top of the eastern
half of the building. The flames spread
rapidly, and the fire was burning
fiercely when the apparatus arrived.
Although the chemical engines were
the first to get streams into the build
ing and on the fire, water had to be
used in extingushing the blaze.
The stock of goods was damaged
more by water than by fire. The fire
started in the furniture department,
and Mr.. Nathan cannot account for its
origin. No. 226 is used as a carriage
repository and crockeryware is kept
on the first floor of No 224. The pro-
prietor said that he closed the store
at O'Clock, and that at that time
there was no signs of fire. Mr. Ma
than estimated his loss at between
$500 and $500, which is fully covered
by insurance.

NEW RANGE WILL BE
SHORT DISTANCE AWAY.
viii BE Called AvondsIe and Will
Be Near Present Range.

Savannah's new rife range will be
known as Avondale and will probably
be constructed within l 1000 yards of
the old range.
The new range will be so arranged
that the firing will be in the direction
of strip of marsh. Under this plan
there can be no possibility Of danger
to life or property.
Just how much progress has been
made looking towards the construc-
ton of the range is not known. Those
who are interested are reticent at this
time. None of the officers care to
have anything at all TO say on the
subject.
There was an important meeting Of
the Executive Committee of the Inter-
state Military Rifle Association yes
terday in the office Of Mai. w. w.
Williamson. The meeting was called
for the purpose of considering matters
in connection with securing the new
range. The matter was gone into
thoroughly.
The members of the committee who
attended the meeting said for several
reasons they are not yet prepared to
give out information concerning their
plans. The officers of the association
say, however, that it will depend
largely on the patriotism of the Sa-
vannah people whether the range is
secured. Money will be needed to buy
the necessary lands and the associa-
ton will have to receive assistance.
Another meeting of the committee
will be held very shortly.

TRUSTEES INSPECTED
NEW MASONIC HOME.
Building viii Be Completed shortly
at Cost of $25, 600.

buAAuAHS VIII ne competed ShOEtAy
at Cost of $2J 600.
Mr.. Charles F. Fulton has returned
to Savannah, after a trip to Macon,
where he went to attend a meeting of
the trustees of the Masonic Home, now
building in that city. The attendance
at the meeting was good, Mr.. Fulton
says, and the trustees, who were driven
out to the site of the building to in
spect the work thus far done, were
very much pleased with the progress
that has been made and the outlook
for the completion of the work.
The home is situated on hill some
three miles from Macon proper, in the
midst of grounds that contain about
100 acres of land. This land was given
to the trustees by Senator A. o. Ba-
con. So great is the interest taken in
the home in Macon that the city gave
81, 500 towards building it, and the COM
road that extends from its site to the
city.
The structure will be of brick, and
has been so designed that if found
convenient additions may be made to
it without destroying the symmetry of
it's proportions. 1t will be completed
at a cost of $4,000. The roof will be
put in place now in a short time, and
it is expected that the whole structure
will have been completed by the time
the Grand Lodge, F. and A. NJ, of
Georgia meets this year.

The stranger said he knew the Off

year ago when incendiaries were at
work, but that he had nothing TO 40
with the several fires that were re-
ported at that time. He had been
hypnotized by a lawyer. he said, and
has been under the hypnotic spell
since that time.
There was no evidence that the man
had been drinking and the police were
somewhat puzzled. The officers had
no request for the strangers arrest al
though he insisted that he was being
hunted by them. He was humored
and allowed TO leave headquarters.
Later he returned and asked for clear
papers so that he could go to jack
sonville and Tampa. Desk Sergeant
McCool said that the police did not
issue CLEAR papers but only locked
peoMa up. This in a measure brought
the hypnotized individual to his senses
and he hurriedly left the desk SER

Mayor Myers Requested Board of
Governors to Keep Picture.
Mayor Myers has requested the
board of governors of the Georgia His
torical Society to take charge of the
handsome painting of Gen. Robert e.
Lee. which hangs in the long room at
the City Exchange, until the new City
Hall is completed. The picture is one
of the handsomest life size paintings
of the celebrated Confederate general
that is in existence and is highly
priced by the city officials.
The board of governors of the his
torical society will to-day notify the
Mayor that they will be glad to care
for the picture until the city is ready
to move into the new quarters. The
Lee painting will be given a very con-
spicuous place in the new City Hall.
The picture will be transferred to the
historical society within the next few
days.

MORE ROOM NEEDED FOR
SOUTH SIDE BAPTlSTS.
Lower Floor of Parsonage Will BE
Used for sunday-schoOI Room.

Lower Floor of Parsonage viii Be
Used for sunday-schOOI Room.
The regular February meeting of the
church conference of the South Side
Baptist Church was held last night.
and several matters of importance wer9
acted upon. The principal matter be-
fore the conference was that of secur-
Ing more room to accommodate the
Sunday-school which has been growing
rapidly.
After some discussion it was decided
to use the lower floor of the parson-
age as a Sunday-school room. The
parsonage is separated from the church
merely by wall, and by making only
slight changes the lower floor can be
easily fitted for a Sunday-school room.
Heretofore this part of the parsonage
has been rented.
The Sunday and church have
both grown so rapidly since they were
started. that it is probable that within
a very short time the entire parsonage
will have to be made a part of the
church. This can easily be done. and
it was with the object of accommodate
ing an increased congregation that the
parsonage was made a part of the
same building as the church.

to attend a meeting of the trustees
of Shorter College. For the last six

While the trustees did not decide
who they would elect president of the

Mr. Simmons will be continued in this
