pr. J. A. Goggans of Alexander City,
 spent yesterday in the city on his tour of the Fifth District in his candidacy for Congress. No one regrets the death of Congressman Thompson more than 1
 dO." said pr. Goggans, and" he con
 tirued. "I am proud to know that he was
 my friend. I feel that I have as much right as any man in the race to claim
 the support of Colonel Thompson's
 friends, for I know that I was true ard loyal to him when he was a candidate
 and while he was in Congress and | would be glad to have the votes of his | friends. I might not be able to make l such a member as our lamented Thomp- | son made, but with experience am sure
 l could satisfactorily represent the Dis | t-ict, and would earnestly and energetic
 ally look after the interests of my con stituents and do everything in my power
 to promote the welfare and best inter- | ests of my native State. I am not
 politician in the professional sense. but
 am one of the people and in my e&-
 tended and varied experience in the prr- | suit of business and the practice of my | profession believe I know something of | the needs and necessities of the people. and professional politicians are not in l good repute. The people of my district I do not believe want q man who is a professional and chronic office holder and | whc is everlastingly before them for ev- cry office in their gift. I have never
 been a candidate for public ofice but | once and my ambition was not gratified | then, but did not s,Ilk, but went right l along serving my party and attending
 to my business as before.
 ''If I am elected to Congress I do not
 care to make too many promises in ad-
 vance as to what I will do or what I can accomplish, but I will promise to be ever on the alert to do what I can for
 my State ard for my own immediate constituency and there will be no com plaint of me on the score of neglect of duty. I will take up the work of our late honored and beloved Representative and do all that mortal man can do for hls netive State I respectfully solicit tho support of the voters of the Fifth Dis
 trict, feeling confident that I have as much claim to the support of Colonel
 Thompson's friends as has any other candidate in the race.
 "I want to add by way of closing"
 said the Doctor, that my name was ln the pot at the beginning. but for some reason my name did not appear in the papers. I qualified in good time and my
 name will be on the official ballot; I trust the voters will mark a cross-mark
 opposite my name on the 11th of April"

array OF apparatus and an army OF fire
fighters.
IL was useless to attempt to save any

by the occupants of the building In which

Edward Davis a. Son occupied the first
and second floors, and the Providence

OF the structure.
No statements OF individual losses have
as yet been arrived at, each tenant sus-

There is one building In this city which

Time and again have alarms been sent

IL is the old shoddy mill building, on
Meadow street, between Summer and
Lockwood. Its proximity TO large plan

prehension.
At 31O O'Clock this morning George

the premises were on nre.
He located the blaze In the boiler room

Ii needed but a glance 70 convince him
that the aid OF the city department was

way through the flames he ran to box q.
at the corner OF Summer and Friendship
streets, and sent in an alarm.
From the nature OF the business con-
Quoted by the shoddy manufacturers a
good deal OF lint and fun accumulates
and this fed the FIRE TO such an extent
that by the time the fire companies ar

from top TO bottom.
The situation was one of imminent peril
10 the adjacent property.
Great sheets OF fame darted toward and
licked the planning mill and jewelry build
