very narrow escape cf Mr. John
Dempsey, a former Roman, from be
ing crushed under a falling building.
The dispatch says in part: ‘ Had
the accident occurred at any other
hour in the day, the result would
have been disastrous, but it happened
that few persons were in the streets,
it being the dinner hour. The para
pet was built only a month ago, and
as the air was very still at the hour it
fell, it is apparent the job was faulty.

Another Blaze Last Night. Looks as Though
Fire Bugs are At Work.
The fire alarm, 28, was turned in last
night about 8 o’clock, and the department
was on hand with its unfailing prompti
tude.
Smoke was rolling in volumes from the
hallway to the annex of the
Masonic Temple. The fire was diffi
cult to locate, but was found at last in
the Closet on the first floor of the annex.
A piece of tow sacking hung by a nail
some feet from the floor was burning
brightly, and if it had not been discovered
so quickly would soon have ignited the
wood work. It was easily extinguished
and no damage done.
Hardly a doubt exists that it was the
work of ah incendiary. This is about the
fifth fire in this fine building in the past
seven or eight months, and one some
weeks ago did considerable damage..
There is no clue to the miscreant, but
the police are at work on the case.

BANQUET TO FIREMEN
The Easons Give Fitting Recognition of
Heroic Work.
IT WAS A MOST BRILLIANT AFFAIR
Between Three and Four Hundred Guest*
Weie Preaent—Eleg.nt Collation Served
In the Hai quet Hall.
The banquet in the Masonic Temple
hall last evening in honor of the Rome
Fire Department was a brilliant suc
cess in every particular.
For several days the event has been
the all absorbing subject of discus
sion among the firemen and the
masons who tendered it.
It was a fitting recognition and
testimonial of gratitude from Chero
kee Lodge in particular, aud all other
masonic bodies in general in the city
for the valiant work of the depart
ment in saving the temple from
destruction recently.
The exercises preceeding the banquet
were held in the beautiful lodge room
of the masons. It was a pretty scene
with the hundreds of daintily clad
ladies and their gentlemen escorts
grouped around three sides of the
room, leaving a space in the center
vacant.
The exercises began about eight
o’clock. Worshipful Master Max Mey
erhardt was master of ceremanies and
on the stand with him were Capt.
John J. Seay, Dr. R. B. Headden and
(chief J. B. Owens. Prof. Claik pre
sided at the organ.
Dr. Headden spoke in glowing
praise of the department. He said that
no city had their superiors and few
their equals. He said if all public of
ficers and everyone entrusted with
responsible duties in life were as faith
ful to their trust as the Rome Fire
Department, that the world would al
most be ready for the milenium. His
speech was witty, touching and only
such a gem as Dr. Headden can de
liver.
The sterioptican views were then
displayed, and were very beautiful
and much enjoyed. The view of the
cross, with the dinging figure, was
especially beautiful.
It was then announced that the
banquet was served in the banquet
hall. There were covers for three
hundred guests at a time, and quite a
number had to wait for a second
table.
The special guest of the evening was
Hon. James Noble, sr., of Anniston,
and he led the procession to the ban
quet room. He was followed by the
ministers, then the firemen, then
the masons, and other guests last.
The big banquet hall had several rows
of tables reaching its entire length, and
they groaned beue»th the burdens of
of good things. Fruits, cream and many
other delicacies were served laveshly to
the guests.
Alter the banquet was about over
Toastmaster Max Meyerhardt announced
that they would have a number of short
addresses. The following all made excel ■
lent speeches and were applauded heartily.
Dr. D. T. McCall, Capt. John J. Seay, J.
B. Owens, A. M. Word, James Noble,
Sr., of Anniston, W. J. Nunnallv, John
W. Bale, Nat Harris and others.
Mrs. A. B. 8. Moseley wa- called on
but said that it was not in the province
of woman to speak in public, and dele
gated the task to Capt. Moseley.
Altogether it was one of the happiest
and most pleasant events held in Rome in
a long while, and will be cherished in
memory by all who were present.
