W hen tho first alarm of fire was sounded
Sunday night, a number of tho students
of Mercer University started to run to
the seene of the conflagration! There
was a dry well on thoir route, which was
uncovered and into which ono of the stu-
a dents, J. K. Duggan, fell. Ilis comrades
who witnessed the tumble, ran to tbo well
and called to tho young man amt asked
if he wiu hurt. Iu reply, ho told them
he had lost his knife and wanted the unto

The Missionary Anniversary,
On Sunday, in the Fast Macon Metho
dist church, woa nn occasion of inoro than
ordinary interest. A good congregation
was prvMont, and the exercises were of a
very pleasing character. Tho singing
was good, and the address of Prof. W. C.
Bass m able and in every respect ap
propriate tot h-co .-asion. Bitjavaa listened
to with the most otientiVo interest by
every one present; most of whom thought
the address entirely too short.
After tho address, tho i*Vjjral .classes,
aa they were called, went np anil present
ed their coutribntiom to tho missionary
fund. The suur of fourteen dollar* was
raised in that manner, after which quite
n number of persons were made life mem
bers of tho society by the payment of
three dollars each. Wo suppose tlie en
tire collection amounted to between forty
and fifty dollars, which was first-rate.
We think Mr. .Lockwood has been do
ing* good work this year in his Sunday-
schools os well os in his congregations.
The Major's Court.
Half a do.-on names were upon the
Mayor's docket yesterday morning, and
os many persons cauic up to answer to
tbe various charges set down against
them.
Tbo first name called was John Griffin,
unda stately individual, upon whoso
cheeks and brow the results of a bigdruuk
wore blooming, arose and plead guilty to
the charge of being drunk. Five dollars
or ten days was the judgment.
llemy Mitchell, colored, was up on tho
charges of disorderly conduct and resist
ing an officer, Ilenrv drank some Satnr-
This firo was also tlie work of an in
cendiary. Tho building was unoccupied
—the last tenant having left it last Fri
day. Parties returning from the first fire
had not passed it twenty minutes before
it was covered with flames, and there was
no sign of fire thereabouts when they
passed. The suddenness with which the
flames sprung up, nnd tho great rapidity
with which they spread, indicated that
krroseno oil was also used in firing it.
But for tho prompt and vigorous action
of the firemen, two or more of tho adja
cent buildings would have been burned.
Tho building was a six room cottage,
and Mr. Tincy estimates its worth to have
been lietwoen cloven and twelve hundred
dollars. It was insured for sir hundred
dollars.
This was fire excitement enough for
one night, hut it was not all. Shortly
after threo o'clock tlie alarm was again
sbunded, and again was tho city illumi
nated by tho glare of a rapid conflagra
tion. This time tho fire was at the trian
gular block at tho intersection of Arch,
Third and Oglethorpe streets, in a build
ing that has not for a long time been oc- !
copied. It was originally built for-a car
penter's shop. A few years ago it was
itaod by tho colored Baptists as a house
of worship, while their church on Second
street was in process of construction.
The building belonged to Mr. E. C.
Gr.ir.nlis. It was old and dry, and
burned very rapidly, hence tho fire was
hardly discovered before the flames had
full sway. This building was very near
the engine house of fire company No. 4, j
and as a cistern was also near nt hand, i
that . b amer soon had the flames under |
its control. An adjacent dwelling homo I
was considerably charred, but was saved j
from destruction by tho timely efforts of
the firemen. T-ho family which occupied
the residence removed a large proportion
«f their furniture; hut the result proved
that to have been unnecessary. The loss
in thi., instance was not very great.
A lady who lived near by saw the torch
applied to this building. She saw the in
cendiary in tlio very act of firing it, and
saw him run off, throwing the torch back
a; lie ram lie was probably tho same
rascal who had already liod a hand in
firing the other buildings. Of course ho
was too far off to bo identified. Tho lady
awoke her son at once, and he ran out and
) gave tlie :darm. Otherwise it would prob
ably hr.vo been impossibles to have saved
tho residence.
These fires afforded the first opportu
nity thnt has occurred for testing tho
practical working capacity of the two
Harrell .t Ilayes engines lately purchased
by companies Nos. 2 and 4. No machines
could have done better work than they
did. A dozen men drew No. 4 from the
engine house over the very roughest part
of the city to the fire, and by the timo
ta«v were there, steam was np, and it was
ready for action. With fifteen pounds of
gents, boys, girls and children. Another
