m il.DI'OS IS THE CITY MONB.
The Columbus Timea of February
lie 1st gives the following account of
itcrriuclire which oeeurro i in thut
city on the night of the 31st t
Last night, between the hour of 10
i. in. and 1 p. m. Columbus suffered
from a terrible fire, which destroyed
*»ne of I he finest buildings in the city.
About. 10* 'o’clock the «Ity was
roused by the alarm bell. Many o:
the people were at the Opera House,
but there was no panic e.itivcd by the
alarm. More than halt the audience
quietly left. The remainder waw
the play through which was ueai
its close.
The fire was discovered to bo in
the Muscogee ILune corner, tin
splendid tlnoe-itory brick build
ing, which stood on the corner oi
St. Clair and Oglethorpe streets.
The building was occupied hv

Hayes doubtless thought it was the cers; Mr. .Joe. Simons, outire
course ©f wifdom to get with Jlr,
Glover. So he surrenders evou civil
servise reform and the control over
removals from otfice to the Chairman
of a Democratic Committee. The
words in which he docs this are a*
follows :
“Touching the suggestion contain
ed in your letter that witnesses who
may testify before the Committee
may be apprehensive of losing their
places if they testify truly and fully*
you arc at liberty to assure all subor
dinate officers that the fact of their
testifying before the Committee shull
not be used to their prejudice.”
Sonator Blain, irrepressible, and ir
reconcilable. attacked the early dead
of Massachusetts on Tuesday in the
Senate. That State was offering to
the national hall of statuary a statue
of her first Governor, William King,
and it was in remarks on this sami-
fuiicml subject that the Maine Sena
tor attacked the ghosts of old liny
StAte politians. If the Senator from
JHussnchuscrtts bad let the matter drop
or had simply said that at a fitting
time they would r'jplv, the allair
would have attracted oil great atten
tion. But they involved themselves
in a debate with Blaine, and as he can
talk faster and invent facts faster than
any other living man be bad decided
ly the advantage of them. There is
something wonderful in the facility
with which Bluim recalls historical,
facts,« rentes other facts, and mingles
In one mass what is false and what is
true. Add to this an assurance tlmi
no one else on earth can rival, and
we have Maine, by all odds the su
perior to any other man in uu emer
gency like that of Tucsda.v*

number of rooms, occupied by va

this floor. Mr. tyM.md and hi>

second floor above his simoTn..,
The rooms on the third floor
were all unoccupied, save one or
two.
The fire seemed to have origin
ated in the store of ICverett &
