HIS CUAZV ROMANCES
about love, marriage, ete.; and when
she found he camo no more, she would
probably forget him.
It was hit custom at the club to tell
the story of his country love, and at
times he grew eloquent over the burn
ished, golden brown carls and bright
eyes of the “woodlandnymph,” laugh
ing heartily, as he recalled her artlcsh
gayety and tbe fnod of wit and merri
ment which her heart reemed ever

But suddenly a shaft from the blind
boy’s bow was aimed at Henrique. It

that, getting back to the At

And they cried: “Yes, yes!”
Then I said: "The great curse of San

but the great curse of your city ’
millionaire libertines,” and soi
them sat before n»e at that time, Felix
and Druscilla. So it is in all our cities,
hen I see going
about un whipped of justice, men who
langh over their shame and call their
damnable deeds gallantry snd pecca-
“llo, I am tempted to hurl red-hot
anathema, and to conclude that if,
cording to some people’s theology,
there is no hell, there ought to be.

There are whole blocks of houses
me of onr American cities known to
the police of these cities as infamous,
and which, by paying tbe officers of the
law a certain amount of hush money,
get as much protection from the city
government as do public libraries and
asylums of mercy. These great ulcers
on the body politic bleed and gangrene
away tho life of tbe nation, and the
civil authority looks on their way and
expects Christian philanthropii
k the other way. Bat I will not

bride, in her sweeping robes of snowy
satin, the misty vail eveloping the

arm of Henrique Crespo, and bowed

them to each other, none

doorway, or saw the wild, glittering
eyes that seemed to fasten npon the

Griffin Dsijy News,
Great excitement was pod need in
Griffin about half past two o’clock yes
terday afternoon by & telegram from
Barncsvillo storing that the freight
house snd five hundred bales of cotton
ere on fire and that tbe Lyon House
as expected to catch the next minute.
. waa requested that Griffin send dawn
steamer to help pnt out the fire, which
had become unmanageable by the force
on hand, and accordingly No. 2's steam-
and a detachment from bothcompan-
i, with the hook and ladder company,
once hastened to tbo depot, amid the
ringing of the fire bell and excited
questioning. After a delay ot forty
minutes, the engine and tracks were
placed on flat cqra and the train' bore
them out, carrying a JVcir* reporter
aifidng’tEe crowd. - - - **•
In the meantime, iUb Lyon House
caught fire and rapidly burned, as was
learned from the operators in Barnes-
illejust before communication was
cut off by the burning ol the offices. A

tored the connection with'Macon.
From the toll tower of tho New*
building tbe fire conld be plainly seen,
eighteen miles away and south by east.
A huge column of smoke rose up
against the horizon and slowly formed
dense clouds which spread out on each
side and in an hour’s time concealed all
objects iu that direction. From the
midst of the smoke, as a large build
ing caught fire and was quickly con
sumed, could be seen tbo red flames
mounting up and licking with fiery
tongues the sky. It wae apparent that
the bosom of destruction was getting in
work and all awaited news from be
low with sympathetic anxiety.
At nine o’clock tbe red hot embers of
what had evidently been a great fire
conld still be plainly seen from tbe
ATeics building. The half past nine
train found many citizens waiting at
the d^pot to bear the news.
Daily Netc*—The fire started'about
e o’clock and originated by a spark
from a passing locomotive in some cot
ton on the depot wharf and soon cangbt
the warehouse of J. T. Hunt & Go.,
which spread rapidly, burning the en
tire east side of Thomastou street. Tho
loss will reach probably one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, partially in
sured. It is absolutely impossible to
obtain definite information as to the ex
tent of loss, though the figures given
above are by no means excessive, pos-
libly not more than half enough. Tbe

The Griffin firemen reached tbe scene
fonr o’clock to find the city almost
burned down, hut were able to check

scene as one of unspeakable desolation
and the greatest fire they ever beheld.

that was heard the distance of a mile,
the unfortunate woman flung herself
headlong from the window. Her dead
