ADR|ANOPLE FALLS,
WARS END IN SIGHT
Turkish Holy City Succumbs to
Servians and BuIgarians
After Long, Bitter Siege.

SOFIA, March 26.-Adrianople has fall
len. The Bulgarian war office today
gave out that information. The fail OF
the Turkish holy city that probably
will speedily end the long Balkan war
followed a general assault by the Bull
garians and Servians. According to the
report. the Third Bulgarian division
entered the city and took formal posses
sion. Before they surrendered, the
Turks blew up several powder maga-
zines and fired houses, but the conquer
ors saved the city from destruction.
This afternoon 1t was reported that
Adrianople was In flames in a dozen
spots and the inhabitants were fleeing
in every direction. Danger existed that
the city would be destroyed.
Accounts from the front said that the
Bulgarians bayonetted hundreds Of
Turks who were engaged in firing
houses and blowing up powder maga-
yines-
The Bulgarians and Servians entered
the city after hours of desperate fight
Ing and a display OF valor seldom
equalled In modern warfare. They
rushed the last works Of the Turkish
and won their way into the city in hand
TO hand encounters.
LONDON, March H.-The reported
fan today Of Adrianople. the capture Of
which was reported from Sofia and un-
disputed, was hailed by diplomats as
fnsuring the earl yend of the Balkan
war
The Holy City has been one Of the
bones OF contention standing in the way
sf peace for many weeks. Bulgaria oe-
manded the town and the Ottomans re-
fused to give 1t up because Of its Mos
lem importance, there being many
shrines and tombs there sacred to the
Turks. In all peace talk the allies have
insisted or having Adrianople.
1t was Adrianople that stood in the
way Of mediation by the great powers.
The ambassadors in their proposal to
mediate. suggested that Turkey be al
lowed to retain control Of the Moslen1
portion Of Adrianople. maintaining there
Q religious ruler. while Bulgaria would
actually govern the town.
The allies delayed many weeks in re-
plying to the powers, and it was under
stood that they were holding of hoping
to capture Adrianople before making
terms.
The Balkan war began on October s,
1872. with the Balkan alliance. Bulgaria,
against Turkey. The Bulgarians
crossed their border and invaded Tur-
key-in- Europe Immediately after war
was declared. and only a few days after
hostilities began they laid siege to Adri-
anople. That siege they maintained
without q break until today, when the
fortress fell into their hands.
Even when the protocol OF Baghtche
Was signed in November and when for
weeks In December and January a de-
sultory peace conference was going on
here, the Bulgers and the Servians who
had later Joined them before Adrianople
did not relax their vigil. Bombardment
OF the Holy City ceased during the armi
stice but the BulgaFians and Servians
were on guard. No Turks were allowed
u. leave the place and no food was al
lowed TO pass into the city.

MAYORALTY RACE
NOW LOOMING UP
Present Mayor and John NJ. Cannon
are Aspirants for the Office. Alder
manic Race also beginning to Get
Interesting.

Col. John NJ Cannon stated YES
terday to a representative of The
Advertiser that after considering
the matter for several months, he had
come TO the definite conclusion to
make the race for mayor, the election
for which comes off in March. Mayor
Z. Nj. Babb has stated all along that
it was his intention to run again. so
it is decided that two at least will be
in the race. Mr.. Cannon stated that
he had not formulated any platform.
but that he was for an economical ad-
ministration and fair play to every
body, rich and poor alike, and that he
would see that every citizen was given
square deal. Other than that he had
nothing else to say for the present.
Mr.. Babb's views are we'll known to
the voters and he will run upon his
past record during three terms of Of
fee
The aldermanic campaign is also
beginning to touch up" little The
races in the different wards promise TO
be somewhat lively. Among those
who have definitely decided to run
are Messrs. j. ID. Watts, L. o. Hires,
w. III. Washington, T. G.. Traynham
and probably all of the present alder
men. Others might be revolving the
question in their minds, but they have
not spoken out in meeting yet.
From early Indications, it seems
that the principal battle cry will be
IAN economical administration"

from the flooring i'm the Office of Dr.
I. H. Zimmerman. After the fire was
oNllHSulShcd, III was found that most
damage was done surrounding a point
beneath the floor whcrc several wires
crossed This gave rise to the theory
that it was the result of defective
wiring Burned places were found in
different parts of the building, show
ing that the blaze had run along the
wires from the starting place and had
caught the woodwork as 1t went
along. Before it was finally put out
a large hole had been burned in the
flooring beneath DR.. Timmerman's Of
flee and in the ceiling of the banking
room, besides other places being
charred and scorched Smoke flying
up from the burning wood where the
water hit 1t, made the fire look quite
formidable and at times there were
fears that the storc-room of Davis
Roper company adjoining would catch
fire, but thick fire wall saved it from
all damage. \ strong wind was blow
ing at the time and if the blaze had
gotten past the bank building it would
probably have swept the block.
