We earnestly desire that those who
are indebted to us will settle at their
earliest convenience. Wo have carried
a number of our friends through a long
and dull summer season, and of course
it has been a tax upon our resources,
and now that cotton is coming in and
bringing a good price, we hope that
our friends will not forget ns. The
numerous amounts duo aro relatively
small, bnt in the aggregate they amount
to a great deal to us. Wo mention
this in a spirit of pleasant reminder,
because wo aro all too prone to neglect
smalt matters, and sometimes, though
not intentionally, to tho injury of our
friends.

The Senate has passed a bill giving

S4O to SIOO each, should this bill pass
the house, and be approved by the
Governor, it will cause quite a little
sum to be distributed to the maimed
veterans of the State. The act does
not provide for furnishing the artificial
limbs, bnt the money with which to
snpply them, so that of the 950 who
have taken advantage of tho act all

THE KIMBALL
RAZED TO THE GROUND BY
THE FRAMES!
Atlanta Constitution, Monday 13th.
Yesterday morning at twenty-six
minutes to five o’clock the Kimball
House was found to be on fire. At
half-past eight o’clock it was a smoul
dering heap of ruins.
For years the burning of this great
hotel has been dreaded as a calamity
reasonably sure to come, and certain to
be deplorable in its results. Two
things were held to be certain: 1. That
its burning would sweep away tho
whole central part of the city. 2. That
a great number of lives would be lost
when it was burned.
By favorable circumstances.that were
almost miraculous neither of these re
sults came about. Tho winds were as
still as death and the flames rising from
tho great central fire mounted straight
between the four walls and went heav
enward. Not a single house across the
narrow streets were burned anti even
tho back part of the block on which
the Kimball sat was saved.
The fire began in the entrance corner
of the house and was providentially
confined there, until every room had
been emptied of its sleeping guests.
Not a life was lest though tlie firemen
worked and the crowd lingered for
hours amid the burning and falling
walls. Not one man was injured.
ORIGIN OK THE EIRE.
As to the exact time at which the
fire originated there is much difference
of opinion. Those who were first on
the scene differ in their statements as
to when the fire was started. It is cer
tain, however, that it was not far from
half-past four. At about that time the
fire was discovered by several persons
and the alarm was sounded. The state
ments as to tho ptobable causes of the
fire and its exact place of origin also
are very conflicting. No person has
been found who will state positively
where the fire originated. While those
on the outside of the building were pre
paring to fight the flames those on the
inside began to get a smell of tho smoke.
As seen by those on tho outside of the
building, the story of the discovery of
the fire and the first contest with it is
as follows:
At the hour named a dense smoke
was seen issuing from the door of the
basement room at the southwestern
corner of the building. Tho room was
directly under the real estate office of
Col. G. W. Adair and was used as a
storage room by the Italian fruit deal
er, Deriotti. Immediately Officer Gloer
ran to tho fire alarm box at the corner
of Peachtree and Decatur streets and
turned on the alarm. On account of
the rubbish on Marietta street, where
the street is being repaired, there was
some delay in the hosereels reaching
the spot. As the fire appeared to be
in the basement, the door was forced
and a stream of water was turned on.
The room was as dark as pitch, and
there was no sign of fire except the
smoke which boiled from under the
place. The room was fairly flooded
with water but the smoke increased in
density and the firemen seeing that
their efforts were of no avail took a hose
into an alleyway between tho inside wall
of the south wing and tho billiard room.
From the first moment that the
flames began to gain headway the gen
eral opinion was that the burning of
the Kimball house would involve tho
destruction of the central portion of
the city. As tho flames, however, took
possession of tho south wall, it was
noticed that they ascended in a per
fectly straight line, there being not a
particle of wind stirring. An unusual
ly small amount of heat was develop
ed, considering the size of the burning
pile, and it was soon seen that there
was not the slightest danger of the
blocks across the railroad. A spark
dropped down a chimnoy to one of the
rooms in the James building, and fall
ing on the floor caught the carpet.
But this was soon extinguished as the
room was occupied. At first the work
of the firemen was directed to the fire
itself, hoping that by concentrating six
or eight streams they could control the
fire. In about half an hour after,
however, the whole eastern side of the
building was nearly beyond the control
of a hundred streams of water, much
less the half dozen weak streams that
were being played upon it. The hose
squails were therefore shifted to Pryor
street, and the men were directed to
control as far as possible the flames
that were bursting out at the front win
dows and doors. Tho front balcony
caught fire about this time and devel
oped an unusual amount of heat. The
firemen had a sharp tussle with it and
after a while they had it smouldering.
The wall of the Kisers and Morrison
A Bain about this time were observed
to be suffering from the heat. Wet
blankets had been hung from the win
dows. Three streams of water were
turned on these buildings and they
were kept drenched. At length a thin
blue column of smoke curled from the
cornices of Morrison & Bain’s store
and it was announced that that block
was fired and must go. Persons on the
roof, however, with wet blankets and
buckets of water, smothered this incip
ient blaze and at length the heat began
to grow less, while the water supply
was increased. There was compara
tively little danger on the east side of
the building. In the meantime the fire
had got possession of the north side
and burned more fiercely there than
elsewhere. The goods were hastily
removed out of the upper part of the
old Moore and Marsh building, the
windows were hung with drenched
blankets. For thirty minutes it was a
toss up as to whether or not this block
would catch. Moore A Marsh sum
moning all their force draped the win
dows of their magnificent building with
wet blankets. Mcßrido & (Jo., John
M. Hill and Gramling it Spalding, in
stead of moving their stocks, kept their
doors and windows closed and wet
blankets to the front. Two streams of
water were taken from the cast side
and devoted to drenching these build
ings. The heavy stock of drugs car
ried by John B. Daniel made the fire
extremely hot on this corner. In tho
meantime the flames had worked their
way to the west side of the Kimball
and the rear of Moran A Go’s, drug
store had taken fire. It was felt that
if the flames were not checked at this
point that the whole centre of the city
would go, as the narrow street between
this block and the National hotel would
have proved no check to the fire. A
squad of firemen headed by Solicitor
Glenn went into this store and soon
put out the flames at that point.
The fact that the roof fell in early in
the day and allowed the heat to go up
did much to keep the fire from spread
ing-
At this juncture there was intense
excitement. The fire which had been
curling up in a straight line now began
to waiver through the currents created
by it-' own heat. “If the walls will
stand,” was the general cry, “tho city
will be saved. Otherwise the whole of
central Atlanta is gone.” Just the
Contrary proved true. The falling of
the center wall completely smothered
the (lames and sent up a dense column
of stn ike, through which the flames
never recovered their way. Then the
crowd began to pray that the walls
would fall rapidly, as they did. As
each wall went down it shut out anew
field of fire, and half an hour from the
falling of the centre wall there was
Hardly a (lame to be seen in the block.
The outer walls fell outward, but the
central walls blottid oat area after
area of flames. The sparks were fly
ing thick and fast, however, and every
awning on the front of the blocks on
tho National hotel side were set on tiro.
As the one over Russell’s tobacco store
caught, a lady loaning out of a window
in the National hotel attempted to fan
it out with a crimson fan. The book
and ladder men, however, were posted
to strip these awnings down as rapidly
as they caught, and to pull down all
wooden signs and cornices from the
buildings near the Kimball. In this
way the spread of actual fire was pre
vented. A spark flew over two or three
blocks of buildings and fell on Major
Cummings’ head while he was standing
in front of his exchange on Broad street
and burned a hole in his bat.
The wind shifted to the south soon
after the fire got under way, and this
was a fortunate circumstance, as any
other direction would have been cer
tainly fatal to the buildings on the
three streets surrounding the hotel.
Over the thousands of people congre
gated on Pryor and Whitehall streets
the ashes fell in a white, drifting storm,
and soon the ground looked as if it
wore covered with snow. The smoke
and lint air brought also a shower of
fine sand from the mortar of tho crumb
ling walls. This was blown for sev
eral blocks and covered the streets with
a queer white sheet. It was plainly
noticeable on the roofs for six or eight
blocks in every direction. Another
curious incident was noticed in tho fall
of the wall on Decatur street. It was
seen bulging at the top for some time
and everybody had been cleared out of
the way. Soon it reeled and tumbled
with a fearful crash. The three top
stories fell and the wall of the two
lower bulged out in its center clearly
three feet and then sprang back like
India rubber into place without show
ing so much as a crack.
IT WAS SIMPLY A MIRACLE THAT NONE
OK THE BLOCKS OF BUILDINGS AROUND
THE KIMBALL WERE NOT LOST.
Any man would have wagered Sat
urday that it would boa physical im
possibility for tho Kimball house to
burn without destroying the center of
the city. Fifty times during the fire
no man would have insured the blocks
on the east, west or north side of the
Kimball for ninety cents on tlie dollar,
and nine men out of ten in the crowd
had virtually given up the fight. There
was wonderful coolness preserved how
ever, and very few stocks of goods were
removed. In the block of buildings
fronting the Kimball house, Messrs.
Hirsch A 13r0., Morrison Bain A Go.,
had wagons and drays backed up
to the rear of their stores and their
clerks and porters were ready to move
their goods on a moments notice, but
they stood at the front of tho store be
hind their glass doors, determined not
to disturb nothing until forced to do so
by actual necessity. In ties way much
damage was averted. It is evon more
wonderful that not a single building,
not even one of the shanties that is con
nected with the Kimball at the rear
should have been burned. The fire
started and raged and ended within the
four walls of the great hotel and did
not do perhaps five hundred dollars
worth of damage.
One thing was demonstrated beyond
doubt, and that was the Kimball house,
although it was built with unprecedent
ed rapidity, was an exceeding well built
house, and to this fact is due the sal
vation of the business portion of Atlan
ta. The weather of course favored,
and other circumstances were propi
tious, indeed, as a bystander said, when
the flames bad died out and the great
blackened site of the hotel was the
only thing left:
“If the Lord had done His best for
Atlanta after the fire had began He
could not have done better than this
has turned out.”
THE LOSSES AND INSURANCE.
When it is remembered that the
hotel cost $600,000 and the furniture
$125,000, tho amount of the insurance
seems strangely inadequate. On the
building and furniture there was only
SSO,OOO. Dr. Joseph Thompson had
$25,000 on his third interest, distrib
uted as follows: Hamburg-Bremen
$5,000; Home, $5,000; North British
and Mutual, $5,000; Southern Mutual,
$5,000. These companies are repre
sented by the agency of W. P. & W.
F. Patillo. The other $5,000 of Dr.
Thompson’s insurance is in the North
ern, represented by J. Edgar Thomp
son. The third interest of John Rice,
is insured by John C. Whitner A Son
for $25,000. They have placed this
amount in various companies but are
unable to give the amounts in each, as
their office was burned, and all their
books are in tho vault. They will
take them out to-day and remove them
to the Jackson building on Pryor street
where they will open an office and
make accurate estimates of the losses
sustained by their companies. The
Whitner’s also had $15,000 on the
ninth interest of Mr. .1. T. Glenn. Mr.
Joseph Thompson, Jr., owned a ninth
interest which was insured for $15,000,
variously distributed. The ninth in
terest of General Toombs was not in
sured. He carried $15,000 on it up to
two years ago and then refused to re
new it.
One reason why the owners carried
so little insurance was because of the
very high rate charged. The Kimball
house was considered the worst risk in
the city. A rate of 21 per cent was
charged on it, while on ordinary central
property only 1 per cent is charged.
The Republic block just opposite was
insured at 1 j per cent, the addition of
being made because of its proximity
to the hotel.
Mr. Scovillc spent $20,000 on im
provements and furniture when
lie was preparing for tho ex
position. He carried a policy
of SIO,OOO on this up to a year ago,
when he declined to renew it, and at
the time of the fire he had only $1,200
and that in the North America. Mr.
Scovillc estimates his loss at from $lO,-
000 to 15,000, that is, his direct loss
in the fire, hut when the hotel was a
mass of smoking ruins and it was
found for certain that not a life had
been lost, he exclaimed, “I am the hap
piest man in Georgia."
It is impossible to obtain the items
of insurance, as most of the books con
taining them wote inaccessible last
night.
The insurance amounts of the par
ties in the various stores in and around
the hotel are stated in the account of
tlieir losses.
Tho insurance was so .veil distribu
ted that no one company is badly hurt.
The Atlanta Home, a splendid new
company, fortunately had not a dollar
of risk.
WILL IT BE REBUILT?
Yesterday there was a general in
quiry as to the probability of the re
building of the hotel. It was surpris
ing to see tho absolute confidence in
Atlanta enterprise. Mr. Culpepper re
marked that be thought be could start
Monday and raise a company to re
build the hotel. Tie thinks it can be
replaced for $400,000, though it cost
nearly twice that sum. Mr. Frank
Rice, an experienced contractor thinks
$400,000 will be easily raised to put
up a hotel as large and better in some
respects. Mr. J. C. Peck, one of the
contractors of the building offered, yes
terday to replace the house for $400,-
000. The almost universal opinion is
that in a few months Atlanta will have
a grander hotel than the superb struc
ture whoso ruins looked so mournful in
last night’s dim moonlight.
The Vancevillc Affair.
Worth Star.
Wo have so far abstained from men
tioning the Vancevillc affair, because
wo have heard several versions ot it,
and feared we might publish the wrong
one. We hoped to get a correct report
of the matter in last week’s Berrien
News, bnt as it was not mentioned, we
must confine ourself to what wo know
to be true, i. e., that Furlong beat his
wife unmercifully, that he was arrested
that a committal trial was held and
that he was bound over to the Superior
Court in the sum of $2,500.
We have no plea to make in behalf
of Furlong, for there is none that could
be made, bnt we want to place the
blame for this brutal outrage where it
properly belongs—at the door of whis
key. Had Ben Furlong not been drunk,
his hand would never have been raised
against his defenseless wife. A gen
tleman who lived neighbor to him a
number of years said to us the other
day: “I have known Ben Furlong a
number of years, and I never had a
better neighbor and friend in my life,
and all the time I lived near him I
never heard of him mistreating any
one.”
No, it was not Ben Furlong who
beat and bruised his wife, it was a
hellish demon created within him by a
too free indulgence in whiskey—that
great and towering curse, the privilege
to sell which, according to some of the
whisky advocates, was purchased by
the blood of our ancestors. Out upon
such a blasphemous charge against the
honored dead! An intelligent people
will never believe that our ancestors
shed a single drop of blood in order to
bequeath such a blighting, withering
curse to their posterity.
We point to the bruised and bleed
ing wife of Ben Furlong, and charge
the crime to whiskey.
