Atlanta, Sept. Sire Tuesday
night broke out in dry kiln in the
lumber yard of the Union Lumber
Box Factory, adjoining the Atlanta
Trunk Factory. bounded by Madison
avenue, the railroad and Brotherton
street, and consumed the major por.
ton Of the trunk factory and the lum-
Der yards, entailing a loss Of some
$50, 900.
In the southwest corner OF the vast
lumber yard. in which were a great
number OF stacks of lumber. was a
small shack used as dry kiln. In
this shanty the flames are supposed
10 have originated, and. famed by a
strong south wind, soon spread to the
lumber piles, and from thence to the
main building. many yards away.
The almost inaccessible situation OF
the property made a ready check OF
the flames impossible, although the
department was soon on the scene and
did noble work.
Two negroes, Pete Moore and How.
ard Brooks, have been arrested,
charged with having connection with
the fire.
Both negroes. 1t Is sail. were re-
Gently in the employ of the trunk fac.

are said to have been incensed over
their discharge, and the detectives
think they have a good clew on which
to work, and Thorough investigation
will be made.

HELPING SANTA
 WITH hIS MAIL How the Elks Are Looking After the Saints Letters as Re ceived at the Local
 Postoffice. WHAT THE CHILDREN WANT Tt Is More Often Shoes and Stockings or Work for Papa Than Toys
 and Candy This
 Season
WHAT THE CHILDREN WANT

The iconoclast cannot drive tho santa Claus legend out Of the life of childhood, and if he should read any halr dozen of the letters which are addrcsscI to that dear old saint every year he must indeed have a heart of stone not to turn Santa himself
 It was just two years ago, at a table in tho Ellis' club room, that the plan was thought of which now re- suits In these letters being taken care of by Santas particular assistants. Five members of the fraternity, Sen ator John Courtney pr James Kelly Ralph Cavalaro. John ] O'DonnelL James lawton and Edward Rourke, planned q big basket of turkey and all tho fXin's for q mother and four chtl- dron wnosc fatacr had died, ana a purse was also made up The poor woman was SO overcome that all she could say was God bless the Elks.
 This started them to thinking of all those in our city for whom Christmas only emphasizes their misery. Men ton was made of the appealing let tcrs whiCa arrive in the postofiice each addressed to St. Nicholas, and | they decided to take one-half of them and investigate each case, and as q result the twcnty-fourth of last De- cember will never be forgotten by the deserving writers of the letters. At ] tt. t,,I, Rl, I were made happy with shoes rubbcrs, coal toys and a big dinner
 | Again this year q committee was appointed to receive the letters and plan for the Christmas tree, and the ! following big hearted EIks are going to make the day of days" a reality to many poor Childrcn; ] J. Q Donnell chairman, F. C, Bretafelder, secretary ana treasurer; Dr. Lamb, Arthur E, smith and Fred Myers, ALI of tho lot- ters are investigated and tho commit tee will soc tAat santa answers tle deserving ones and that they get what they want on the Christmas tree Every noon Pierce Mahcr, superinten' dent of mails, turns them over to Mr. ODonnell, and already about 400 have been read. most of which show req need in the families from Waose coll dreu they come.
 Many of the letters show sucl sad. ncss and premature care as most of us can scarcely realize. 1t Is no wonder that tho Elks are touched by letters from seycn-year-old children asking their santa for shoes and the necessa. ries Of life, which their widowed
