Forty-Room Building Burned.

A fire broke out in the 4O-room build
ing of the Semet-Solvay quarters last
night and completely destroyed it. The
origin of the fire is unknown and had
made consh -rable Roadway when dis
covered. AS the many occupants were
sleeping and the fire spread so rapidly
little effort was made to remove prop
erty, the efforts of the fre-hghters be-
ing directed to arousing the inmates of
the various rooms. Several negroes were
slightly burned. Kid Jones was serious
ly burned and his condition is somewhat
critical The bucket brigade of the Sem
et-Solvay company did valiant work but
to no avail. They were materially as
sisted by Lieutenant BubanKs, Detective
John Wren and Officer Bonner of the
Ensley police force. The house was
owned by the Semet-Solvay company and
occupied by negro employees. The loss
of furniture and effects is estimated at
$500.

Ensley. February 2S.-(special.)- 1.-THE
climax of the revival at the Methodist
church was the closing meeting held
tonight Every available space was oc-
cupied in the church, many being un-
able to obtain seats Wonderful was the
height of enthusiasm and spiritual in
terest manifested. AS a result of the
series of meetings over so additions were
made to the church by conversion and
letter. The Rev j. o. Hanes and the
Rev b. b. Glasgow nave been untiring
in their efforts to reach the hearts Of
the people and success has crowned their
efforts. Mr.. Hanes is energy and en-
thusasm personfied and never flags or
fails when work for the Master is at
hand.
The unqualified success of the meeting
is a source of much qualification to the
officers and members of the church. All
the services today were exceedingly well
attended, there being 2S2 present at the
Sunday school meeting. AT the II o'clock
service the church was crowded and an
ample collection was taken to defray the
expenses of the meeting. The love feast
neld IN the afternoon brought a great
crowd many visitors from all over the
district attending. Among the visitors
were the Rev. j. l.. Ferguson of Bir-
mingham the Rev. ]. 1. Williams Mr..
Joseph Martin, Mr.. j. B. Wadsworth and
many others. An interesting visitor was
Joe Sing, a converted Chinaman from
Mt. Vernon. He is a cousin of Sullee
Lee, the local laundryman. The meet
ing was marked by deep religious fervor.
The closing service tonight was a fit
ting climax to the two weeks successful
revival. The Rev. j. o. Hanes, the I'M
firing evangelist, will commence revival
at the Methodist church at Wylam next
Wednesday. He will assist the pastor,
the Rev. J. |. Williams.

Athletes Loose
Much Weight

Martin Sheridan, the worlds cham.

weight during the two hours and a
half In which he won the all around
national championship at the Scottish
Clans games, Celtic Park.

champion weighed 2O5 pounds at the
start Of the 100 yards dash, the first
event In the gruelling contest.
He weighed lSi pounds Immediately
after he revived, after staggering over

last event In tho fearful ordeal that
exhausted his strength and endurance.
But he finished the mile run, In which
alone his competitor, Theodore Matzu'

points and beating his own record for
the AL around championship by 255
