MONTGOMERY DEPARTMENT
HAD A BUSY DAY.
Saved Four Buildings But Contents
Of q Stable Were Destroyed
Entailing an Estimated
Loss Of $500.

The Montgomery fire department had a
hard days work yesterday and went into
quarters last night credited with having
answered five alarms during the last day
of the month and Of the year.
The first run was at $40 o'clock a. m.
on a telephone alarm from the house at
$40 Perry Street occupied by T. o. Ham
ilton. Several shingles on the roof of the
house became tgnited but the blaze was
easily extinguished before 1t did any ma
terial damage.
A telephone alarm at IL o'clock noon
sent the department to the house at 2is
North Lawrence Street, coupled by Mrs.
M. c. Adams. A small blaze which had
started in the roof was extinguished with
out much damage. A stray spark. how
ever, hid itself somewhere and the de-
partment had the third run of the DAY
at 1:15 o'clock to the same place. Fire,
which had begun higher up on the roof
was speedily put out.
The roof was a little torn up but the
damage was OF minor account.
Hardly two hours lateral 3:05 o'clock
a small blaze in the ONCE Of the store
of Jimmie McCool brought the trucks TO
his place of business at 11s Monroe Street.
A lighted match, cigar or something OF
that kind carelessly dropped in waste
the fire. The damage was very slight.
The most serious fire of the day was
the last one at $50 o'clock yesterday
evening. Fire was discovered in the sta
bles on North Perry Street, near the coz
ner Of Columbus Street, conducted by j.
+. Chambers. The fire department an
swered telephone alarm and arrived In
time to save the adjoining property but
the feed stun and light woodwork of the
stables were enveloped In flames by the
time the firemen got there. Six mules that
were kept in the place were turned out
and escaped without damage.
The greatest loss due TO the fire was
the destruction of three vehicles-a car
rage. a top buggy and runabout,
which amounted to about $500 or 500. The
damage to the contents amounted in the
loss of feed stun and harness to about
500. The damage to the building. which
is owned by Charles g. Abercrombie. is
estimated at 500. making total esti-
mated loss of $500 or $1,000. This amount
Is entirely covered by insurance as the
building and contents are insured fol

The fire was a bad one to fight and the

TALKS OF PANAMA.
Mr. Hammond Says the People are
Enthusiasts Over New

Recently a party largely composed OF
Alabamaians went to Bocas del Toro.
which is in the Republic of Panama
Mr. L. w. Hammond. formerly of this
city, was one Of the party.
The Cincinnati Enquirer of recent date
published the following interview with
him:
mfr. L. w. Hammond manager of the
Peck Hammond yentilating and Heating
Company, has returned from Central and
South America. On the trip the party
spent eight days at Bocas del Toro. a
town of about 5000 population. which il
located in the seeding part of the United
States of Colombia. There are but few
Americans In the toWn, but they are en-
thusiastic over the present conditions
which place the new Republic of Panama
under the protectorate of the United
States.
.The white people of Bocas are already
enthusiastic Americans said Mr.. Ham
mond, and believe Il is only n question
of short time when they will become
a part of this country. The business men
OF the place seem to be anxious for an
nexation. and declare they are now more
OF American territory than the Philip
pine archipelago.
American products and manufactures
are imported into that country at present.
but the bulk of the trade goes to Ger
many, especially iron and the products
of iron. While in Bocas noticed NUM-
Der of naphtha launches and steam en-
gines. the latter being rather small af-
fairs. as compared with the moguls used
In this country, but the rails and steel
ties were of German make. 1t Is the gem
eral impression in Bocas that the Amer
lean administration was fully advised of
the proposed rebellion of Panama some
time prior to the detection of that por-
ton of Colombia. 1t is common gossip
that a New York attorney engineered the
scheme and that he is to receive $1,000
900 for Its successful contamination This
attorney is in the employ of the Panama
Canal Company. and his compensation Is
to come from that source. Just what as
surances the secessionists had from the
Washington administration Is not posi-
lively known but that assurances OF
recognition and protection had been given
no one In Bocas doubts.
"As matters now stand Colombia Will
be unable to land a force of soldiers IN
Panama, as they would have to go by
water and American vessels have all
landing places blockaded in so far as
the landing of troops goes. The topogra-
ply of Panama is such that soldiers could
not be dispatched by land. The Ameri-
cans in Panama. and especially In and
around Bocas, are itching for a fight.
The marines landed from the Nashville
and other vessels did not attempt to con-
ceal their anxiety for brush with the
Colombian soldiers,

Der of former Ohloans residing in Pan
anna. several with elegant homes in Bo-
cas-. They are all doing well. and are
among the most successful business men
in the country
