FIRE IN WETUMPKA
EXPLOSION AwAxENs CITIZENS IN
 EARLY MORNING.
Handsome Stores of D. W. warksey. Who Was Absent From Fillmore
 Capital Were Destroyesl---
 Several Thousamd Loss.

Wetumpka, Feb. 1s.--(Speciai. l-- The hardware and furniture stores of D. w. Walkley were consumed by fire at an early hour this morning. The fire was discovered after midnight and had evidently been burning some time before being discovered
 The first intimation of the Ire was given by the guests of the Davis Ho- tel (which adioins the walkley buiId- Ing. being awakened by a stifiing smoke entering the building through the walls separating the two buildings
 Soon after the fire was discovered a terrific explosion occurred within the burning building. This explosion scat tered the flames to every portion of the building and moke largN number of people in town. buildings hundreds Of feet away being shaken by the force of the explosion. 4ie
 The fire department. by excellent and untirsng work, confined the flames to the walkiey stores which were total loss.
 MT. waliley carried from 5000 to S7.0O0 insurance on his stock the goods being valued at from sT.000 to Sf0, ,o0o
 The buildings were owned by J. P. Johnson who carried only $2,ooo insur. ance.
 MT. Johnson Is in Hot Springs. Ark, and Mir. walkley was in Birmingham on business trip. Ee was not ap. prised of the loss until this morning.
 This block of buildings has been ieng considered a fire trap and it has been thought if one store burned the entire block would go. Doubtless this would have been the case had not the ira de- pertinent worked we'll and the new wa ter works proved efficient. A high pressure was obtained and the flames were beaten back as they leaned across the roofs of adjoining buildings.
 A. c. coiley had jewellers bench and window in the burned store and his stock and tools are total loss with no insurance.

 This information was filed as the result of information obtained from a negro man who had been arrested charged with keeping places, which were alleged to be chiefly for negroes. Kelly was the only man to be found in the city and he was arrested and went before Judge Beggs of the court who placed his bond at s2,o00. He could not get sureties for this amount and was committed to jail. Later today the bond was reduced to $500. but Kelly could not furnish this amount of surety.
 Ward, who has been a member of the police department for the past six years. was on duty Friday night, but since that time has not been seen. Each day since then messages have been received by the chief stat ing that the officer was sick and una ble to report for duty, and it was the supposition that he was i'll until this morning when Solicitor Loftin. who had been quietly obtaining informa- ton regarding gambiig in the city filed the four informations in the Criminal Court and warrants were is- sued immediately for the parties.

A DELIGHTFUL MUSICALE.

Music and hospitality united in making a houseful of guests enjoy themselves to the utmost at the home of r. c. Hurst on Friday evening when seven of the piano pupils of Clarence F.. Krinbill entertained their friends with a delightful musical MT. Krin- bill had selected a very choice pro gram of fine composition with which the pupils pleased their friends, and the manner in which all played was most creditable to the players and to their instructor. Only. the best grade of music was used and the standard set by the opening number, Beetho- ven Sonata, was maintained through out the program.
 In this. the fourth of the series Of musicales which Mir. Krinbills pupils are giving, those playing were Miss Iva Butler, Ethel Ninnis, Jultf, Ade- laids Shields, Roberta Sinclair, Jessie Scott. Win Hicks and Charlie Hurst.
 The singing of Miss Janet Hunter and the violin solos of Mac Mosier ad- ded much to the charm of the program at the conclusion of which the guests of the seven hosts and hostesses of the evening fingered for a pleasant hour of conversation and delicious refresh ments.

IS DRAMATIC MAN.

Lawrence Mccarthy, a dramatic coach. and master of oratory, is in the city having arrived last evening from Fl Paso where he staged for the El Paso lodge of Pythians the play Da mon and Pythias Mir. Mccarthy some years ago, left the stage to en- gage in this special work, and is in this domain at the request of the Grand Chancellor of Arizona. He if also instructing the subordinate lodges in Arizona in the dramatic work of the ritual and putting on Damon and Pythias where desired. He is an old actor himself, and in the plays, which he arranges for local lodges. takes the leading role when it Is desired. He is from St. Louis. IL is possible that Bisbee may soon be treated to a sample of his work
