FIRE AT WAREHOUSE
TWO MEN HURT BY FALLING
 FALLS.
Property of Hohenberg & Co. Was Afame and Front of Burning Building Fell on Wctumpka
 Citizens.

wetumpka. May S.-(Special. )--The
 large cotton warehouse belonging to
 M Hohenberg & Co.,, and rented by
 Mccoy & Wall, was discovered to be on
 fire at 7:30 o'clock last night. The fire companies made desperate effort to save the building and con tents, but owing to the infiammable material the flames spread rapidly and as 1t was soon apparent that the building was doomed, the firemen turned their attention to the salvation of surrounding buildings and the fire was confined to this one long build ing.
 About 300 bales of cotton stored on the lower floor were burned and a hundred ors more bales were saved Very near all of the cotton belonged to farmers and a great deal of 1t was not insured
 NJ Hohenberg & Co. lost their large
 stock of surries and buggies, which | were stored in the second story. The
 loss cannot be ascertained at present, but it was heavy and only partly cov- cred by insurance. The most serious feature of the fire was the collapse of the front wall of the. building, which fell upon MT. T. Clarke and MT. Oliver Batchelor. both of whom are seriously injured. Mir. Batchelor was buried be- meath the brick.
 Mir. and Mrs. Jeff Hughes have the sympathy of many friends in the loss
 of their infant child, whose funeral
 services were conducted by Rev. J. H
 James Monday afternoon.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

Permitting Retired Army Oncsrs Per-
forming Militia Inspections Under rho
Orders Of the War Department TO Obtain
Mileage for the Reimbursement Of Their
Travelling Expenses.
Washington, Jan. 5.-The Secretary
Of War has sent TO the Speaker OF
the House a letter askinR that Con-
gtess 80 amend the law prohibiting
retired officers above the grade Of
major receiving any pay or allowances
beyond their full retired pny as to
permit retired officers performing
militia inspections under the orders Of
the War Department to obtain mileage
for the reimbursement OF their travel
ing expenses.
The Comptroller of the Treasury
rendered an opinion that mileage Is
an allowance within the meaning Of
he act OF Congress prohibiting allow
anoes to these Office r., " whereas the
department does not regard mileage
as an allowance, properly so called, but
merely a reimbursement of money ex-
pended from the pay of an officer in
meeting his travelling expenses. By
reason of the Comptroller's decision,
says the Secretary, The department has
been deprived of the services Of retired
officers in making inspections under
the Militia law, as It would be mani
testify unjust to require these officers
to pay their travelling EXPENSES out Of
their own pockets, and, as matters
stand, there is no way in which they
could be reimbursed.
