An alarm was turned in from station 17 last night at 9:30 o’clock. The Are was discovered in tbe dome of the compress by the watchman at the Central railroad shops, but was extinguished before any material damage was done. It is not known how the fire originated. A Serious Runaway. On Saturday, in Buena Vista, a horse ran away with Mr. and Mrs. Joe Rodgers, throwing them both from the buggy. Mr. Rodgers had one arm broken and received an ugly gash on the fore head. Mrs. Rodgers was also painfully bruised, but the extent of her injuries is not known. Mectlmrs at St. Luke Church. The protracted meetings at St. Luke church will continue during the present week. There will be services every night at 7:30 and prayer meeting at 9 a. m. The pastor is working with commendable real, and his earnest and practical sermons make a deep impression upon the con gregations. Accepted the Call. The committee of deacons appointed by the Becond Baptist church to sec Rev. J. W. Howard and notify him of tho action of the church at its last conference in calliug him to the care of the church for the next year, we learn, have seen Mr. Howard, and ho has accepted the call. The services at that church Sunday night were quite interesting, and about twenty-five persons went forward and signified an interest in the prayers of tbe church. Report of a Church Committee. In pursuance to appointment a meeting was held at Broad Street Methodist church last night to hear the report of the “committeo of one hun dred” on tho church debt. The collections amounted to $316.10. The committee was con tinued, and will report again on the 20th of Octo ber. The debt remaining is now less than 9300. The prospect is now very good that the church will come out of debt this year. The thanks of tho pastor and members are heartily extended to °vc ry contributor. Tho Montgomery ami Florida Railroad. Mr. B. B. McKenzie, who has the contract for building the extension of the Montgomery and Florida railroad, came in last night. He reports that the work is progressing satisfactorily, and ; that tho fifty mile post will bo reached by the 1st i of November. The surveying party are now at ; work local big tbe last five miles, and the grading forces are at work grading to tbe forty-third mile j post. • Mr. McKenzie lias had personal charge of 1 the grading during the post week.--Montgomery ( Advertiser, Professor Hough's Cold Medal. On yesterday Professor A. 8. Hough announced to tho students of the commercial school that a heavy gold modal would bo awarded on October 1 to the student who had made the most rapid progress in penmanship up to that date. The medal will be designed and made by a Columbus jeweler. The race will be a close one between a large number of the young men in the school, and several states are represented in tbe contest. Professor Hough says the commercial school is on a boom which Air exceeds the sanguine ex pectations he had when he opened it. The com mercial school of Columbus is not excelled by any in the country. A Cenerous Contribution. A few days since a contribution was made by the employes of the Eagle and Phenix Manufac turing Company to the relief fund for the suft'er- ers by the earthquake in Charleston. The snug aum of $242 was forwarded to the staunch firm of that city, Messrs. Johnston, Crews & Co., to be turned over to the proper committee. The Eagle and Phenix Manufacturing Company has received by wire Mayor Courtenay’s grateful acknowl edgement of the receipt of tbe same, and express ing thanks for the generous subscription. This is a goodly sum for our wage-earners from one Industrial corporation to contribute, and reflects the generous sympathy felt for suffering human ity caused by a great and sudden calamity against which all human ingenuity was powerless to pro vide. When men contribute of the means, which by daily toil they have earned, to the relief of strangers, it shows that in their nature exists a pure and unsullied philanthropy. Death of Judge Nathan Bussey. Judge Nathan Bussey, of Talbot county, died at his home near Talbotton on Fnday last from a stroke of paralysis. He lacked but a few months of being 89 years of age. He was a member of tbe Primitive Bap tist church, and bad been so for sixty-five years, having united with that church in his 24th year. He left three children, Mr. H. 1). Bussey of Tal bot, Mrs. Dr. W. H. Tatum of Stewart, and Col. H. Bussey of Columbus. His second wife, for merly Mrs. C. R. Williams, surv ives him. Judge Bussey was one of Talbot county’s best and most highly esteemed citizens. He man aged hie alf&irs so as never to have any contro versies at law with any man. None knew him but to love and admire him. He was upright in his dealings and blameless in his conduct. Hos pitality and liberality was a marked feature in ^ his character. Ho died iu the glorious triumphs ' of that faith in which he had lived and which hod been his guiding star through life. He was i buried on Saturday evening in the family grave- ! ya. d. The funeral exercises were conducted by j Elder J. fi. Murray, of Butler, Ga., whose remarks | on the occasion were touching and appropriate. | TUN LADIES COMMITTEES.

These ladies are requested to meet with the other committees at the library to-morrow (Wed nesday) evening at five o’clock. The committees which have been at work since Saturday reported thirty-six new members to the library yesterday afternoon and the librarian re ported forty-six. This is a good showing, and if the committees and librarian do only half as well by to-morrow afternoon the success of the library is assured.

Prof. A. K. Hough's Marriage. Last Saturday vjpek Prof. A. 8. Hough, the principal and proprietor of the Columbus com mercial school, loft for bis home in Oxford to spend a week, leaving the school in charge of Prof. J. E. McRce. Somebody started tbe report soon after Prof. Hough left that he was gone away to get married, and that he would surprise the Perry House, where he boards, by bringing back a blushing bride from his home in Oxford, a sweetheart of the long ago. On Sunday even ing last Prof. Hough returned on the train that arrives from Opelika at dark. He proceeded at once to the Perry House, and in a few minutes entered the dining room to get, his supper. There are half a dozen friends ofthe professor who board at the Perry House, and the seven have a table to themselves. A reporter for the Enquirer-Sun had been apprised of tbe coming event, and was invited to tea by one of tbe professor’s friends, so that ho might be “a child arming ’em takin’ notes.” When the pro. fessor walked in he was alone, but he looked so happy that nobody doubted that tbe deed was done. The six friends ofthe professor sprang up, followed by the reporter, and a general hand shaking and round of congratulations followed. The professor plead guilty to the soft impeach ment and actually blushed. After the blush, those who knew him best were convinced that something unusual had occurred. But it turned it out later that Prof. Hough wasn’t married at. all, and that “the pleading guilty to the soft impeachmemt” and the blush ing were all nothing but some nice acting gotten up to sell out his over-curious friends. Prof. Hough’s friends around at the Perry House who circulated the report of his marriage and gave their “word and honor’, for it before and after his arrival were rather droopy and sick yesterday, and the general ver dict it that he can act “his piece” well enough to deceive the elect, and that he ought to go on the stage—if he is still single. Some of them have their doubts about it yet. Personal. Mr. Jas. A. Lewis returned from an extended visit to Ardonin, N. Y., Sunday night. Mr. Eli M. Wheat returned from New York Sunday night. Mr. C. P. Gray has returned from the northern and eastern markets. Prof. A. S. Hough returned Sunday nigh - , from a week’s visit to relatives in Oxford. Mr, T, M.

Fortson, Ga., September 20.—The regular monthly services were held at Mt Zion Baptist church on Saturday and Sunday, conducted by the pastor, Rev. C. A. Martin. Text Saturday was iu Psalm 19:7 : “The law ofthe Lord is per fect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.” Sunday was the regular quarterly period for celebrating the Lord’s supper, and the appropriate text of Col. 2:9 was chosen and ably handled: “For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” On Saturday before the third Sabbath in Octo ber is their anniversary for making the annual choice of a pastor, • and the hour of 9 a. m. has been appointed for assembling on that day. Some ofthe members are getting ready to go to the association which, will convene with the church at Talbotton on Wednesday. Mrs. C. H. Cook and children, of Hamilton, are spending a few days with us. Mrs. W. D. Keen and Miss Nellie Keen, who have been hoarding with Mr. T. W. Fortson, have been permitted by their physician to return to your city with their sick babe, who is some what improved. The little brother of Rev. Andrew Williams, from Birmingham, who has been spending sev eral days with him, leaves to-morrow for Oswichee, the play ground of his early child hood. A couple of lovers met a-wooing at the resi dence of Mr. T. W. Fortson yesterday. Rain is very much ueeded here now. Some of our streams are drying up. HALAD FROM SEALE. Death of Mr. Thomas Howard—Death at Hatch©* fhnbliee—Items of General Intercut. Special to Enquirer-Sun. Seale, Ala., September 20.—Thoa. A. Howard died at his home, near Seale, Sunday morning at 3 o’clock, after a lingering illnesa of consump tion. The deceased was the eldest son of the la mented Thomas Howard and Mrs. Fannie How ard, and 'a brother of R. O. Howard, the druggist! of your city. He was twenty-five years of age* and a faithful and devoted member of tho Meth* odist church at Viliula. No young man in the entire community was more highly esteemed and respected than the deceased. Mrs. Joseph Holliday, of Hatchechubbec, also died yesterday morning. Reports from the cotton crop have been very discouraging for the past three weeks. The yield will probably be one-sixth less than was antici pated a month ago. Although it is opening rap idly, very little has been marketed here yet. Merchants say that collections will be poor this season. Nevertheless they have bought a large supply of winter goods. The protracted meeting at the Methodist church closed last night. There were five or six acquisitions to the Church. The Baptists will probably commence their protracted meeting here in a few days, and the Methodists will pro tract again the first Sunday in October. Miss Mattie Beauchamp has returned from a two months’ visit to Blakely and other points in southwest Georgia. Mias Mattie is looking just as pretty as ever. Mr. J. 8. Matthews, of your city, spent Sunday with his family here. Mr. Simon Hirsch, of Colorado, is visiting rela tives here. Mr. Wilmer Waddell, the brilliant youngjeditor of the Register, celebrated his eighteenth natal day Friday. Wilmer is the most gifted and prom ising young editor in the state, and richly de serves the success which he is achieving. f 8ince the Sunday train has been discontinued “Rolnndville,” the new station, will probably be done away with. How about it, Jake? Till now I had forgotten to thank Alex Stevens, your versatile Hurtsboro correspondent, for those neat compliments he paid me recently. But they did me no good. Alex; the heiress slipped through my fingers. An Interesting Meeting. A more densely packed house than was the Methodist church in Girard Sunday night is never seen. At the request of the pastor, Rev. ! Mr. Cummings, the Rev. R. H. Bullock, pastor of the Baptist church, officiated. His sermon, though short., was very impressive and held the vast audience in breathless attention. In con clusion the pastor said that he would not, on ac count of the crowded condition of the house and the melting heat, invite mourners to the altar, but would ask all those not members of any church who felt concern about their eternal wel fare to rise up in their seats. About fifty per sons arose and great interest was manifested in the services by the entire congregation. One thing is very noticeable in Girard, and that is that the warmest Christian fellowship and brotherly feeling seems to prevail between the two denominations, due in a great measure to the broad and liberal views and Christian bearing of the two pastors. This is as it should be. towns. Last year the receipts from tbe planta tions for the same week were 94,333 bales and for 1884 they were 84,627 bales. The Chronicle’s telegraphic weather reports for the week are thus summarized: The weather at the south during the week has in general favored the development of the plant. In Texas rain has worked further improvement. Picking has made very good progress except at some points in the* Mississippi valley, where It has been interrupted by rain. For Tax Collector.

A large crowd will greet Wilson and Rankin’s minstrels at the opera house to-night. The Sa vannah News of Saturday has the following to say of them : “Wilson and Rankin’s minstrels had a crowded house last night, up stairs and down. The per formance was full of good things all the way through. A number of novelties have been intro duced. among them the Pavanellas, who tyrought music from paving stones and tools. The Poluskia introduced some new ideas and comicalities. Barney Fagan and John Doyle gave a clog dance that was well done. George Wilson’s quaint humor and Carl Rankin’s grotesque comedy were important features ofthe entertainment. Several good songs were sung, and the bill closed with a burlesque on the ne v opera, The Crowing Hon. The audience laughed heartily and seemed immensely pleased. This afternoon the company will give a matinee, and to-night it will close the engagement.” HOTEL ARRIVALS. RANKIN HOUSE. A. J. Sale, Virginia; W. M. Crookshanks, Greenville; B. R. Nash, Durham; M.

For some months past it has been apparent to the knowing ones that there was a scheme on foot; instituted by the American Oil Company, to get exclusive control of the manufacture of cotton seed oil. To do this the company has been quietly buying up the mills of the south. This company is said to be closely related to the Standard Oil Company, of petroleum fame and represents millions. Its procedure in securing control of the mills of the south has been sim ple but successful. Wherever the man agement of a mill proved refractory and preferred not to sell, it sent money into the territory of such mills and ran cotton seed up until there was no profit in tlieir product, thus forcing the management to accept its terms. A gentleman from Columbus stated yesterday that the company had recently purchased the mills of both Columbus and Macon. These plants were under tbe management of one com pany and represented a capital of $125,000.—At lanta Constitution. A gentleman who is in a position to know in formed an Enquirer-Sun reporter last night that the Columbus and Macon mills had not been sold to the syndicate referred to in the above article.
