DEPOT IS BURNED.
While Citizens Were at Fiye, Homes
 Were BurgIarised.

Columbus, Ca, Dec. 1f.--(Special.)- The depot of the Central of Georgia Railway at Fort Mitchell, Ala, was fired by incendiaries between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning. and while the people of the community were at the fire, the home of G. L. Sallas. mer- chant of Fort Mitchell. was entered and burglarized. There seems to be no doubt that the depot was deliberately fired by the burglars with the idea of getting the people away from their homes. The depot is a total loss and the freight stored therein was also de- stroyed.
 when the Sallas family left their home to go to tho fire they took the precaution to lock the house and Mir. Eallas also carried his money to the store. When they returned they found that in their absence burglars had bat tered in one of the windows. effected an entrance and made a search for valuables. So far as discovered. only a shot gun was taken.
 Great excitement prevailed in the Fort Mitchell community as a result of the outrageous affair. and messages were sent to Columbus for dogs. in the hope of tracking tho burglars.
