The Western Railroad Depot arid Its Contents Destroyed—Supposed to litre Been tire Work or an Ineendlary. Special to Enquirer-Sun. Auburn, Ala., October ] 1.—This morning at 3 o'clock the depot of the Western railway was de stroyed by fire. The building was comparatively new and was the handsomest and most con veniently arranged depot on this line of road between Montgomery and West Point. It con tained the freight warehouse, waiting rooms for white and colored passengers and ticket office. When the fire was discovered it had made such headway that none of the contents of the house could be saved. A large quantity of freight aud express matter was destroyed. Mr. Francis, tho agent, lost his clothing and two hundred dollars of paper -currency that was in the safe. The safe proved to be nearly worthless, as all the paper money in it was destroyed. A box car standing on the side traek was burnt. It contained tombstones and monuments, which were left a mass of ruins. The fire is known to have originated in the upper story, aud it is supposed was ol' incendiary origin, as no one had been in the upper story in several weeks. The total loss is probably about four or five thousand dollars. The Sunday issue of the Enquirer-Sun' is highly praised. ITKJIS FROM OPEi.IKA. The Circuit Court in Session—A Painful Accident.

Lee, our distinguished solicitor, is in attendance at circuit court, discharging the duties of his office. He will be a candidate for re-election to the position he so ably and effi ciently occupies, and it is the unanimous wish of the people of Lee county that he be re-elected. It is admitted that he is one of the best and ablest officers in the state, and has given entire satisfaction to the people of this circuit. His qualifications for the position are unequalcd and the legislature will no doubt honor him with a unanimous re-election. Thegiand jury is now in session, but there will Joe very little criminal business before it, as our people have been remarkably law-abiding during the last six months. An election on the stock law was held in this beat on the 5th instant, and resulted m a victory for the stock law by 191 majority out of a vote of 775. The law is now in force ill six out of thirteen beats in the county, On the night of the 7tli instant, the ladies of Opelika presented tho Lee Light Infantry a beau tiful blue silken banner. It was presented to the company by Miss Rennie, the daughter of Oapt. J. Q. Burton, and accepted by the company by Mr. W. H. Samford, in appropriate and eloquent speeches.

The ex ports for the week reached 19,516 bales, of which 74,233 were to Great Britain, 4920 to France and 10,363 to the rest of the continent. The figures indicate an increase in the cotton in sight of 17,121 bales as compared with the same date of 1885, a decrease of 248,832 bales as compared with the corresponding date of 1884 and a decrease of 462,799 bales as compared witli 1883. The totals show that the old interior stocks have increased during the week 33,480 bales, and are 22,465 bales more than at the same period last year. The receipts at the same towns have been 13,129 bales more than the same week lust year, and since September 1 the receipts at all the towns are 4249 bules more than for the same time in 1885.

Last year the receipts from the planta tions for the same week were 2)0,010 bales and for 1884 they were 223,924 bales. Tile weather lias been very favorable for crop gathering in the south during the week, and in consequence cotton is being picked and market ed quite rapidly. The temperature has been rather low at times, with light frosts reported in portions of Arkansas and Tennessee, but without injury. In some districts of Texas caterpillars are doing damage.

New York, October 11.—Pacific Mail was sold heavily to-day, and the persistent hammering of this stock finally affected the entire list. Talk of an opposition line by the Kansas Pacific brought out many weak holders who have been waiting for a settlement of the trans-continental diffi culties. A report was started that the labor troubles bud extended to Erie, and tho lack of confidence in it favorable out come of the conference of railroad officials at Chicago, together witli disappointing reports of the earnings from that quarter, created a depression in the market. Later in the day it was announced that there was a brighter prospect for agree ment, and prices responded quickly. The opening was strong although Omaha, New England and Union Pa cific were each down l. Tho features of trading were. New England, Texas Pacific, Western Union and Pacific Mail. Before noon the market began to yield and Beading became prominent. The decline continued with comparatively quiet trading until the last hour when the entire list rallied and the market closed firm at irregular changes compared witli Saturday evening, but with declines in the majority . Total sales -401,000 shares. FATHER MISKEWITZ. Shoot tlie Ntinic. Not tlie Mini. Pittsburg, October 11.—Intense excite ment prevuils among the Polish residents of Southside over an alleged attempt to assassinate ltev. Father Miskewitz, who presides over the little Polish church nt the head of Fifteenth street. It occurred about 11 o’clock yesterday while the priest stood before the altar. Mass had been said and the father had just turned to ad dress the congregation when crush came a bullet through the window oil the south side of the church and flattened itself against the solid wall on the opposite side. For a minute confusion reigned in the churth, women streamed, choir boys shouted and many of the members of the congregation either pressed forward to see if Father Miskewitz was injured or rushed out of the building to find from where the bullet came. The priest showed great coolness, notwith standing the fact that the missile must have passed within six inches of his body. If it had been fired a minute sooner it would have passed through him. lie turned and with a gesture waved his flock to their seats, but not all of them, for by this time upwards of 1(19 had swarmed out into tile street and into t lie yard of the parish building adjoining. No trace of the perpetrator of the deed could be found. There has been a good deal of trouble be tween factions ot this church in times past, the most, recent being a long and bitter tight with a company of hussars which the pastor refused to recognize. THE BULGARIAN BUSINESS. A Riot Arises, Pistols Are I'seit amt a (I oil era I is llootoil At. Sofia, October 11.—In the city elections for members of the great sabranje to elect a successor to Prince Alexander all the government candidates have been success ful. M. Karaveloif, pro-Russian, received fifty votes out of the 1500 cast in his dis trict. The government attached little impor tance to the action of M. Nekiendoff, Rus sian agent here, in suspending diplomatic relations. A Macedonian Vervoaee, who was arrested here, admitted that he was the leader of a band of Macedonians organized in Yeni Seagra and Eski Segra to act against the government or sub-gov ernment. On Saturday a crowd hooted at a number of peasants, who were assembled in the garden of the Russian consulate. The peasants replied by throwing blocks of wood and stones. The crowd retaliated, whereupon the Montenegrins and Cu- vassas in the garden of the consulate fired upon the mob. FIFTEEN REVOLVER BULLETS struck the walls ofthe British and German consulates. The peasants subsequently left the consulate. They said they did not know for what purpose their presence was required, but that they had been induced to come to Sofia by six chiefs. Several persons disguised as gen d’armes have been arrested for denouncing the govern ment. THE ZANKOVISTS LEFT. All the members of the ministry have been elected by immense majorities. The returns thus far received show the election of 100 ministerialists and 21 Zankovists. GEN. KAULBARH HOOTED. A crowd of fully 5,000 persons met Gen. Kaulbars on his arrival at Shumia. The spokesman told him that the people had full confidence in the government. After ward the crowd assembled near the win- j nominated. He was recently appointed to that office by Governor Hill, mid has been nominated by the Meegan democ racy. Robert. It. Moore was nominated for county clerk. He has been alderman at large, and iN one of the most popular democrats in the city. Nicholas J. Bell and Michael J. Murray were nominated for coroners, and Leonard W. Loop for justice of sessions. The ticket is a strong one and if, ns is probable, the Meegan ticket is withdrawn the chances favor its success. Shortly after the democratic convention adjourned the republican congressional convention was called to order, and its proceedings were opened with a lively contest between the Barnes or regular or ganization and the Bentley O’Brien fac tion. Tlie Barnes men, however, had the convention by a vote of 05 to (14 and, nfter several protests over delegates by Assem blyman Smith, O’Brien , nominated the Barnes slate without a crack. Dr. John Swinbtir o, who carried tlie district two years ago by 2,500, was renominated for congress. Mr. George H. Stevens, a pop ular young lawyer, for district-attorney, and Mr. James A. Houck, proprietor of the Globe Hotel, for county clerk. Houck was elected sheriff in 1870 over the demo cratic and bolting republican nominee. The contest in the county will be very close. A IVriTii on a Railroad. Washington, October 11.—The Gartos- burg accommodation train, which left ut 10 o’clock this morning, over the Metro politan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, was run into near Silver Springs, a station aboil, nine miles above this city, by an eastern bound freight train. Both locomotives were wrecked, and the engi neer ofthe first train and his fireman were budly injured. Threo passengers were severely, but not fatally, hurt. All Itrlxlit in Cliiirli'Kliiii. Charleston, October 11.—There is no thought of earthquakes in Charleston to day. Everything is bright and cheerful. The relief committee has received 1801) ap plications for money to aid in repairing houses, which represent more than 50 per cent, of the total number of houses in the city. T! e committee have approved 511 applications, and are disposing of the rest at the rate of sixty a day. Tlie Amrusla Strike Weakenlmr. Augusta, Ga., October ll.—One hun- ared operatives are now at work in tlie Augusta factory. Much discontent is re ported among locked out operatives, and reports say that they are eager to go to work. A lie Hewitt Beta the I'iniii. New York, October 11.- Tmnmany Hail nominated Abram S. Hewitt for mayor this evening. Li' “ Tito cost of cremating a corpse in Paris hits been reduced to $7,” remarked Snooper. “ Has it?” listlessly replied Niggler. “Yes. What do you think of that?” “ Why, I thin.t the Paris cremator must find it hard at that figure to urn a living.” Tid-Bits. Free Trade, The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off of revenne stamps from Pro prietary Medicines, no doubt lias largely benefited the consumers,as well ns relieving the burden of home manufacturers. Es pecially is this tlie case with Green’s Au gust Flower and Bose bee’s German Syrup, as the reduction ot’ thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to Increase the size of tlie bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cents size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and tlie German Syrup for Cough and Lung trou bles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The advantage of increased size of the bottles will lie greatly appreciated by tlie sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized coun tries'. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the same size. oetl2dAwl l y tvin Eve Bol I nillgiiiiiit.
