REPORT FROM DoTHAN.
Crawford Hotel Was Among Buildings
 DesfroYed af AhheYiIIe.

Destroyed af AbbeviIIe.
 Dothan, May 21.-(Special.) )-Al- though a detailed list of the losses in last nights fire at Abbeville are not the aggregate amount will fall but lit- tie. If any, short of $100.000. The en. tire south end of the business part of the town was literally wiped out, leav- jrg behind the track of the flames nothing more than piles of charred wood and ashes
 The report reached Dothan last night that the bank of the little town had been destroyed proved erroneous, ano iG Is also certain that the court house was not touched. Among the wooden buildings destroyed, however. was the Crawford Hotel. an institution of which Abbeville was pardonably proud.
 The flames swept with startling ra- pldity northward to the end of Main street, where aided by the strong wind blowing at the time. they Jumped across the principal business thorough fares and began their deadly progress down the other side. The volunteer firemen fought heroically to check the sweep of the fire fiend, but found their desperate efforts almost entirely fu- tile and the flames did not cease their onward march until they had licked up this side also.
 One thing that the hard work of the citizens did was to stay the flames be- fore they could make an onslaught onto the residence section of Abbeville, and so far as can be learned at this time not single home was destroyed. There is as yet no definite clue regarding the origin of the fire. It is said today that in some quarters a well defined suspicion is harbored that an incendiary is responsible for Abbeville night of horror. but If this be true. 1t has amounted thus far to nothing more than a suspicion without any defi- nite evidence to support the theory.
 One thing regarded as in the nature of a silver lining to the cloud is the fact that the portion of the town de- stroyed consisted of wooden buildings and that a new Abbeville will arise to take the place of the old. It is believ- ed that not a single wooden building will be rebuilt but that brick structures will be erected instead.
 Here in Dothan the utmost sympathy Is felt for Abbeville. The uHtortunate little town Is the county seat of Henry coun- ty, of which until recently Dothan was a part and parcel and this town and entire county feels far more than an ordinary interest in the calamity which has overtaken the prosperous place only thirty-three miles from here.
