large wholesale stables in the rear on
Lee Street and to the Farley National
Bank, adjoining the grocery store, on
the Square. lis due to the lack OF any
sort OF breeze.
Headquarters department on Madi-
son Avenue made a quick run to the
vcene. The exact location of the flames
at first puzzled the firemen, and II was
some time before 1t was found that
the flames were eating from the CEN
ire Of the block In the immediate rear
OF two large wholesale stables, and
the rear store of the Lasseter Grocery
Company.
For more than an hour the firemen
fought the hidden blaze, and on two
occasions the IRE threatened to de-
stroy the big livery stables which
Quartered several. hundred animals.
All OF the animals In Emersoon's sta
bles ON the second floor were brought
and the work of getting those from

: All Of the lodge rooms above the
grocery store were ruined by smoke
and water. The woodmen of the
World rooms, and the Odd Fellows
rooms In Lomax Hall, were partially
burned In the rear and greatly dam
aged by water and smoke. The office
of DR.. A.. H. Montgomery was dam
aged by smoke.
It was thought at one time that the
presidents office Of the Now Farley
National Bank was on fire, but officers
of the bank, who had been summoned
by telephone, stated that other than
being smoked out" the bank was not
damaged.
The greatest damage to L. Lasseter
& Co.. was through the great volume
of water. Two heavy streams poured
through the store room floors to the
first door, completely soaking a large
stock Of goods valued at $4,000.
Mr.. Lasseter stated that insurance
ywas carried and that he was fully pro-
ftected. The building which the store
occupied, Is owned by Mrs. BIB. The
kaarnage is estimated at $1,000.

then agreed to.
The sailing was not so smooth when
II came to pineappies. The contention
In this connection was for higher rates
and came from Democratic sources. The
directors in this case were Senators
Taliaferro and Fletcher Of Florida. The
House had fixed duty Of cents per
cubic foot on pineapples in barrels and
Of IS per thousand, but the Senate
Committee on Finance reduced this
rate to 4 cents and 81, respectively,
thus restoring the provisions Of. the
Dingiey law.
Mr.. Taiiaferro presented an amend
mont restoring the House rate Of 50
per thousand, but changing the other
portions Of the provisions so as to re-
quire the payment OF half cent q
pound for pineapples In bulk. The
contention was for and against this In
crease and the light was mainly be-
tween the Florida Senators, represent
ing a pineapple producing State and
Senators Smith and Raynor, Of Mary
land, In whose State there are large
pineapple canning establishments. Dis
avowing all championship Of the can
ners. the Maryland Senators made q

After q debate extending over about

was adopted, 30 to 80. This was a de-
feat for the Finance Committee. but
the amendment was not strenuously re-
sisted by the Committee and several OF
its members voted for 1t.
The close OF the day, as well as the
beginning of 1t. presented its surprise

Committee reducing the House rate on
bituminous coal from 81 cents per ton

Numerous attempts were made to re-
