BRIDGE open TO PUBLIC.
Land Company Bridge Haa Been Made as
. Good as New.
The Land Company bridge leading
west from Second avenue is now open
for .public traffic.
This has been a most commendable
piece of work on the part of the coun
ty commissioners. Every piece of
timber m the bridge is new, and of
the best heart piue. New stone abut
ments have been built on either end,
and the bridge has been painted all
over.
The street from Broad to the bridge
has been filled in partially with dirt,
then a heavy coat of slag, and fin
ished off with chert, making a hand
some and durable street.
The total cost has been between
$1,500 and $2,000, probably near the
latter figure. But it is the concensus
of opinion that it has been money
well spent, and praise is heard on
every side for the fine work done.
The original cost of the bridge when
built was SIB,OOO.

THE ROME TKIBUNE. FRIDAY, ARGUST 27, 18b7
BLAZE IN TEMPLE.
(Continued from First Page (
Such heroic and telling work has been
seen.
The fire was very difficult to gqt at
because it was under the roof and be-,
between the ceiling, necessitating mak
ingjseveral apertures before it could be
reached.
It required nearly two hours of hard
work to subdue the fire.
How It Originated.
Several theories have been advanced as
to the orgin of the fire, but it is suppos
ed to have been caused by electric wires
in the shaft or pit used in the Masonic
initiation rooms.
It is a peculiar fact that this building
has come so dangerously near destruction
se oral times.
The front part of the building alone as
damaged, no harm resulting to the
annex.
Damage to the Building.
The entire third floor was used as a
lodge room for Oostauaula and Cherokee
Masonic Lodges and the Knights Templar.
The walls and ceiling were exquisitely
frescoed, and they were almost totally
spoiled by the water.
There is SSOO insurance on the frescoeing.
■The Excitement Great
The people in the vicinity ol the temple
were greatly alarmed at first, for it look
ed as if nothing could save the building,
Mr. George Green, the livery stable
man, two doors below, moved out all his
stock and vehicles at once.
The streets were crowded with people.
Street car traffic was blocked a short
while by the hose across the tracks. But
passengers were finally transferred.
The Tenants.
The tenants on the ground floor were
as follows:
Mrs. G. Accomasso, Italian merchant,
groceries, peanut and candy stand dam
aged by water.
William Schwab, the laundryman.
Flooded with water. Had only moved
in a few days ago and considerable dam
age.
John Mullinix, shoe shop, sligntlX
damaged.
On the second floor the offices occupied
mostly by lawyers who were partially
insured were as follows:
C. N. Featherston and F. G. Govan,
law books damaged SIOO.
Alexander and Hillyer, SIOO.
W. H. Eunis, SIOO
Hal Wright, library, slightly dam
aged.
C. C. Holmes, life insurance agent,
nominal loss.
Chief of Police Pink Shropshire, bed
room damaged slightly.
J. Santie Crawford,, stenographer,
bed-room damaged S4O.
The handsome uniforms and hel
mets of the Knights Templar were
nearly all saved, but there was a lurge
amount of costly paraphernalia totally
ruined.
The total loss is estimated at some
thing over $5,000. $4,500 to the build
ing; SSOO to frescoeing and S2OO to fur
niture. This is the loss sustained by
the Masons. The tenants were prob ,
ably damaged SBOO in the aggregate.
There is SII,OOO insurance on the
front, or old part of the building.
The policies were belli in companies
represented by Mr. W. J. West and
Yancey & Co.
The Masonic Temple is the property
of Cherokee Lodge No. 60. The
building is one of the finest Masonic
temples in the south and the property
is valued at $’35,000.
The Annual Conclave of Knights
Templar of Georgia was held in this
building last May. There were a
large number of distinguished men
present, and the handsomely appoint
ed building received lavish praise
from them.
The Young Mens’ Library fortu
nately escaped the flames and water.
All the attorneys in the annex moved
their furniture and libraries. Among
those in the annex were Dean &
Dean, Wright & Ewing. Wright Wil
lingham, W. T. Cheney, Max Meyer
hrrdt, John C. Printup and Prof. P.
J. King.
Edmund May, janitor, lost several
pieces of crockery and cooking uten
sils.
J. S. Crawford, the stenographer,
was sick in bed in his room in the
excitement had a hard time getting
his door opened to escape. The
spring lock would not unfasten. His
room with bedding and clothing was
thoroughly water soaked.
A Card.
In behalf of Cherokee Lodge No.
66, F. & A. M., and of all Roman
Masons, I desire to thank the brave
firemen of Rome for their noble and
heroic work in saving the Masonic
Temple from destruction. They have
earned and will receive the grateful
I thanks of every Mason in Rome.

which is a railway eatinghouse, and
that this hotel is owned by Vice Presi
