THE ATLANTA DAILY VOL. 1. ATLANTA, GA„ SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1873. NO. 285 The Daily Herald. The Herald Special Mail Train for the Atlanta and West Point Railroad will leave Atlanta at 4:10 A.M. and return to Atlanta at 5!40 P.M., Daily, until fur ther Notice. If the Broad fctreet affair desires to get ahead of the Hebald, we will tell him how to do it. Let him at ooce start an eight page paper, fill it with dead advertisements, and then point proudly to the achievement His circulation being small and constantly de creasing, the extra expense for paper will be the merest trifle. Oar jaundiced Broad-street cotemporary talks about getting a balloon to carry his mail. We doobt if he will essay that kind of locomo tion for some months to come. Next summer, however, we are certain that he and his six funny men will go up in a large balloon. Such is our opinion iounded on the manner in which we are absorbing his subscribers. We were asked yesterday how a change of forty minutes in the schedule on the West Point road could benefit ns. We will ex plain. It would be easy enough to put on extra bands and get out the paper by eleven o 'clock, but we can't print dispatches before they are received, without getting “on the line of the Conttitution.’' Therefore if Col. Grant could change the time to twelve o’clock, it would enable us to get up a full paper on the train, just as we now do for the Macon train at twelve-thirty. THE HOHESZOLLERN CANDIDACY FDR THE SPANISH THRONE. If the Journal de Paris newspaper is cor rect, auottier war cloud Is hovering above the horizon, for Germany and France. The statement that the project to put a member of the German Imperial family in the Spanish throne has not been abandoned, is very grave news indeed. It was a similar project that caused the late war, and it may be put down as certain that the French will not permit a Hohen zollern to rnle the destinies of Spain without another struggle. True enough the individ ual who would be made King (Prince Leopold) is of the Latin race, by his grandmother, and is a cousiu of the Bonapartes, still as all his tendencies would be German, he would nat urally rule Spain in the interests of Ger many. We trast that the Journal de Paris errs in its statement. A GREAT FIRE. Extensive Conflagration in Baltimore. WHOLE BLOCKS OF BUILD INGS DESTROYED. Churches, Factories, Shops and Houses Consumed. GREAT CONSTERNATION AMONG THE CITIZENS. RUMORS OF LOSS OF LIFE- BUT UNCONFIRMED. By reference to onr special telegrams from Morristowo, it will be seen that there are conflicting reports regarding the prevalence o r cholera at Tate’s Springs. We publish this news as it was received. We made e\ery effort to get correct information, and have given what we received to the public, because we believe that it is better to tell the tmth and thus pat an end to the exaggera tive rumors that are already afloat through the city. I a this connection, we will state that Dr. Westmoreland left this afternoon for Mineral Hill, after this information was re ceived, stating to ns that he placed no reli ance on the statement of cholera prevailing in the mountains of Tennessee. The citizens of Atlanta know Dr. J. A Taylor, who is the proprietor of Mineral Hill, too well to believe that he would delib erately state that there was no sickness at his Springs, if any existed, and we hope that the prevailing rumors will not prevent persons from going there, who have so intended. Tha Hebald promises to give the facts, and will keep posted. A Man's Villainy. A M >THKB\ CABMXJtSKNESS AND A CHILDS BUIS. From the Chicago Timet. A most .liatardly assault and outrage upon the person of an unprotected young girl, scarcely thirteen yean of age, was achieved (lay before yesterday by a ruffian known as Charles Keed. The yonng rictim of his lust ful violence is named Gertrude Springer, and she resides with her parents at No. 917 Sonth Halsted street The straightforward, and beyond donbt trntbfnl statement of the little girl is as follows: On day before yes terday, while walking near the comer of Archer avenue and Halsted street not far distant from her home, she was accosted by a stranger whose dress and conversation ap peared to indicate a man of respectability, who inquired of her if she knew where he conld obtain a yonng girl to take care of a child, and stated that be lived not far from the locality in which they then were. The girl replied that she would like the place her self, and wonld hire ont to him if the consent of her mother conld be obtained, and saying that her home was near by, asked the stranger if he would accompany her thither and ac quaint her mother with his desire. The men .aid he would be pleased to take her into his faun ly. and returned with her to the house. Oo reaching the place, the man told Mrs. Springer that ha wonld make a comfortable home for her yoang daughter, and wonld pay her $2 25 per week. He gave his name, and told her that he lived just west of the stock ysrds. and woald like the girl to go home wit i him at once. Mrs. Springer was favorably impressed with the stranger's appearance and address, and accepted bis proposition. Getting to gether a small handle of clothes, Gertrude was soon resdy, and started off with her new employer. They proceeded as far South as the railroad track, thaaee wist across the Sonth Branch. It was a desolate neighbor, hood, and bat thioly built up, but one of the houses in sight Reed pointed oat as his own. They kept on a abort distance, when, get ting into the shade of a grove of a fsw trees, he asked the child to sit down and raat for a mopieata. She had scarcely got down . 0e 2tffh» wretch seized her with great force „na threw her violently to the ground. The child, in dismay, straggled ana screamed, bnt the brute strength of the monster snbdned her resistance, and placing his hand closely over her mouth he prevented her outer! She exerted her strength to the utmost to bsffle the scoundrel, bnt was unable to pre vent him from accomplishing his ftsudish designs. After the brutal violation of her person, Reed had no farther oocasion to re tain the yonthfol victim of his dia bolical last, and frightened half ont of her wits, and suffering from the rude treat ment to which she had been exposed, she found ber way home as rapidly as possible and made her mother acquainted with the dis- gnsting details of her outrage. The half-erased women west immediately to the Dealing street station end told Kergt. Hood the revolting story. Officer Trainer was st once detailed to capture the villain, but up to last accounts his arrest had not been made. A pretty thorough description of Reed was left with the officers by both mother and danger, and it ts thought that * not long ffede them. A pbvsufnU WM called to snamine the un- fortunat»gi.ir»“dU«s result fully urf——“ etas the storjyd her violation. First Dispute Iff. Baltimore, July 25, 1873. A little after 10 o’clock to-day a fire broke oat in the planing mill of Joseph Thome* k Co., on the sonth side of Clsy street, between Liberty sad Park stm ts. Soon after s general alarm sounded and the fire soon extended to THREE ADJOIXIXG BLOCKS, and announce that the conflagration is now raging. A •tiff southwest breeze is blowing, and immense cin ders are wafted several blocks off, in the vicinity of the Cathedral. THE LOCALITY OV THE IT RE is the Immediate vicinity of the Presbyterian Church of Rev. Dr. 8mith, corner of Liberty and Saratoga streets, where the Presbyterian Assembly was held. The entire southwest corner of this block is burned. Particulars as fast as possible. Second Dispatch. Baltimore, July 25, 1873. The fire extend* from Franklin down Howard street to Lexington Park. Four churches are burned, and the Cathedral is threatened. It is reported that Saint Alphonsas is threatened. Several lives are reported lost. Third Dispatch. Details of the Fire—Churches Destroyed— Whole Blocks Gone—Hopes that it will be Arrested. Baltimore, July 25, 1 p. m. The lire ia still raging, but will probably be confined principally to THE AREA bounded bv Lexington. South Howard, West Mulberry, North and Liberty streets. After breaking ont in the planing mill of Thomae A Co., south side of Clay street, the dames spread rapidly across Clay to Block, bounded by Howard, Liberty, Saratoga and Clay, con suming nearly the entire Block. At this hour few buildings remain st the northeast corner of Block, at which point the Central Presbyterian Church, Dr. Smith’s, is located, which structure is now on fire. The probability ie that THE ENTIRE BLOCK WILL RE CONSUMED From Clay street, south, the fire worked its way back to Lexington, burning all the buildings on Park •treat. The fire is still raging in this block. On the westMde of Part street, from Lexington to Saratoga, nearly every honse has been burned. Fully two- thirds of the entire block, bounded by Clay, Park, Saratoga and Howard, is being consumed. The First English Lutheran Church, ou Lexington, Her. Dr Barclay, pastor, is ENTIRELY CONSUMED. It is possible the fire will not extend much beyond the four blocks named. It is impossible to get all par ticulars sf the streets in the immediate vicinity and tor a number of streets. No loss of life confirmed. Water ample. UNLESS THE WIND INCREASES the flames will be confined to the bounds above indi cated. Blocks adjacent are being crowded a ith thousand* of people. Furniture wagons, dray*, and every kind of vehicle imaginable are loading up with and remov ing fonitore. THE GREATEST CONSTERNATION PREVAILS, the street* being filled with frantic women, hurrying in every direction with children, bedding, cradles and various pieces of furniture in their arm*. The whole fire department of the city, with two engines from Washington, am now SUCCESSFULLY BATTLING THE FLAMES. The supply of water up to this time has been ample, and unless the stiff breeze increases to a gale, and wafts cinders In othsr directions, ths fire will un doubtedly be confined to its present locality. The district burned ont is principally occupied by ama.1 shops, several factories, and three story brick resi dences. At this tims it is IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE ANY ESTIMATE of losses. There are a number of rumors of parties— women and children—being burned, bnt strict inquiry has failed to establish any loss of life up to this time (1:45 p.m.) Fourth Dispatch. The Fire Still Kaging—More Buildinge Tak ing Fire—A Catholic Church in Danger. Baltimore, 2MO o’clock p. m. The fire is still raging, but has not extended to any great extent beyond the blocks named in last dispatch. THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, Dr. Smith, southeast corner of Saratoga and Liberty •tresis, is a com piste wrsck; nothing left but the walls, with ths exception of the brick dwellings on the south of this block. In the immediate rear of ths ruins of the church not a buildi.rer sins at this hour. THl WILDEST RUMORS prevail in regard to the fires in other portions of the city, but an inspection of the localities fails to verify ths report. The roofs of several buildings on Calvert street, north of Saratoga, have taken.fire, among them ths Children’s Aid Society, on Calvert, adjoining the City Spring, but all have been extinguished. St. Al- phonalc* Catholic Church, A BEAUTIFUL STRUCT CRB, at the northeast corner of Saratoga sod the Park, Is in imminent danger, bnt at this moment has not taken fire. Dispatches have been received from Philadelphia of fering assistance. About one hundred building* have been burned up to this time. Fifth Dispatch. Eight Block* Burned—The Fire ^Believed to be Under Control—Wildest Humors Afloat. Baltimore—3 p. m.—July 25, 1873, The flro is still raging. Klght blocks of fine build ings have been burned. The authorities are sending for outside help. The water supply is failing. Clsy street, from Liberty to Howard, two squares, is burn ed out. This Is A MARROW STREET, filled with carpenter shops and box factories. Tbe steeple of the Central Presbyterian Church is on fire. The fiercest portion of tbe fire was on Saratoga street, between the Patk and Liberty.* Oo tbe South aide every honse on the square is in flame*. Tbe fire to thia square came from the back building*, which reached to tbe destroyed bouses on Clsy street. Up Saratoga to Howard, on the south aide, the house* are STILL BURNING. At one o’clock the course of the fire from Thoms* factory, where It begun, was up Park street. On one side sad in the rear of St. Alphoosu’e school burning shingles and sparks started the fire in the squares on tbe north side of Mulberry street betwem OMtttxUal and Park streets. The fire thaw dashed across the street to tbe Academy of Arts Ths Dome of the Cathedral was st one time on fire but WAS PUT OUT by dlls ewe who were stationed on the roof prepared for it. At 11 o’olock ths casings of ths windows of St. Aiphonsns’ Church were on fire for the third time all over tha church from the horning la front and alongside of It. Sot withstanding the Intense dames and the NATURAL EXCITEMENT, panic prevailed in the neighborhood of the fire, but all did their utmost to prevent a spread of the flame*. The new salvago corp* appeared on the scene, and are doing good service. No estimate of tte damage is pos sible under the circumstances. THE WORK OF MOVING Is still going on and the streets are impassable. On Mulberry street the building of the Maryland Acade my of Art his been burned. Dr. Dalrymple’s school adjoining ia on fire. Threo bandsome residences on the north side of Mulberry street, between Cathedral street and the Park, took fire, but were saved with considerable damage. A force of forty men are pass ing water to the dome of tbe Cathedral, which is cov ered with blankets. 3:43 r. m. Clay street, ou which the fire beguu to-day. is s sma'l street, beginning st Liberty, about midway be tween, sod parallel with Saratoga and Lexington streets, running west, intersecting Park and Howard streets, and stopping st Eutaw. The fire originated on the south side ol Clay street, near Fark, in Thcmas Plaining Mill, as before stated. 4:10 P. M. The fire is now completely under control, and many who removed their goods and furniture on blocks sdjaccnt to the fire, aro now moving back. Reports are still circulated that several children were burned and men killed, but strict Inquiry at the Mar shall’* office fail* to verify any death* by burning. CRIES AND CASUALTIES.

There was no one, so far as we can ascertain, iu the room at the time '.t occurred, but the dead man aud the man who fired the fatal shot, and it will of course be diftta cult to ascertain THE TRUE STATE OF THL CASE, erou through a searching legal investigation. The only facts known to the public arc, that the two men had been together during the morning, apparently eery friendly, and had both been drinking pretty freely ; that they separated after a quarrel, and subse quently came together in the Dew Drop saloon, with the result stated. So soon as the shots were fired, the gontlemen who were in the rear room of the estab lishment RUSHED INTO THE FRONT ROOM and found George Chapman lying across the counter, and the blood gushing from the wound iu his fore head. The man was placed cn a abutter aud taken to the yard of the city prisoD, and Mr. Martin, who had surrendered, was taken to the prison by the polic?. AN EXAMINATION OF THE WOUND •bowed that it was unquestionably fatal. The wouuded man lay there unconscious till about Bix aud a half o'clock, when he breathed his last. His death is the result of the intemperate use of liquor, for if he had been sober he would never have gone into the bar room as he did. Afler learning all we could concern ing the affair, from outsider? aud looking at the body, CALLED AT THE CELL of the prisoner, and ohtainul from hitu a blaUmcnt substantially as folioks . STATEMENT OF J.\>. MARTIN. C liapman and myself were on friendly terms and were together during tho morning. We went into Schuster's, and while iu there Chapman became offea- ded at me for some cause entire ly unknown to me and used the most abusive and obsccuc language to me, cursing me in an outrageous manner. Not wishing to have I left him going cut of the back door aud went to my place of business. Before I had been in there a great while Chapman came iu and commenced cursing and abusing me. 1 called upon him to stop, which made him worse, and he camo to the counter, got on the iron railing, cursed me, aud said HE INTENDED TO EILL ME, then and there. He leaued over the counter and put his hands behind him. I turned, jerked up a pisto^ that was lying behind the counter, and fired twice st him. The first shot, I think, I missed him; the second struck him in tho foreh ad. I then sur rendered myself. “believing that it was necessary to do so to tave my own life.” The fo,*»going is substantially the statement made by the prisoner to onr reporter. The man who was killed is reported to have been a desperate man while under the influence of liquor, but wc personally know nothing of him. The case is to undergo JUDICIAL INVESTIGATION this mornirg, and we abstain from expressing any opinion of it* merits. We shall give the evidence on the preliminary examination. W.
