Two Fires at Denmark.

DENMARK, February 22.-The telegraph
Office at the junction of the Atlantic Coast
Line and Southern railroads, in this place,
was destroyed by fire yesterday morning
The structure was two-story wooden
building, generally known as the tower
All trains over the two roads were sig
nailed from this Office and could pass
only when the tracks were thrown open
by the operator in the tower.
The fire started in the ceiling and owing
to the fact that there is no water near;
could not be extinguished. The trains
were delayed only for few minutes, and
will stop at that point as they do at other
functions.
Another fire alarm was given yesterday
at about noon. In some way curtained
closet in the residence of MIR. Fuller
caught on fire. The room was closed at
the time and became filled with smoke,
causing every one to think that the house
would necessarily burn. However, the
fire was soon put out, there being con-
siderable loss from removal of furniture
and damage to the house by water.

graph operator, manager OF the telegraph
Office at Charleston, S. c., for many years;
manager for the Southern Bell Telephone
and Telegraph Company at Charleston
s. c.; district superintendent for the same
company at Charleston, S. c., and at Ma
con, Ga. He came to Atlanta, Ca, in 1890
in the same position, and for the last five
or six years he has been special agent to
assist the general manager of that COM
pany. he was man of excellent judge
ment and indefatigable industry, with fine
ability for handling men. Mr.. Easterlin
