TERRIBLE CONFLAGRATION.
The Brawn Heme Entirely Destroy
ed—Las* Over Dollar*—
Great Exertions ef the Fire Dt-
Diriment-A Night ot Work and a
Worn of Gloom.
On Sunday morning one of the largest
and most destructive conflagrations that
has visited our city in many years occur
red on Fourth street, opposite the passen
ger depot. At twenty minutes past two
the sUrm rang out and in a few moments
onr firemen congregated around the
scene of action.
Tbe fire originated in the bar and res
taurant of Mr. Z. B. Wheeler. This ee-
tibhihment was of wcod, and, being an
old and dry edifice, burned with startling
rapidity and an intense heat. Although
tho restaurant was a low structure of one
story, so intense was tbe beat that the
cornicing and wood work on both the
National and Brown House wero fired,
though many feet above.
Tho window casing and blinds to all
the windows in each hotel opening to-
wards the burning building were scon
in a blaze, and both buildings seemed to
be doomed to destruction by the fiery ele
ment. The engines opened on the fire.
No. I took np her position at her cistern,
and through a lino of hose through the
alley running between tho Brown House
and the saloon poured a stream into the
burning frame. No. 6 followed, taking
water at the same place, and attacking
tne flames with vigor. Almost immedi-
diately No. 3 came in with a stream.
Tbe other companies followed.
In the meantime, persons inside tbe
hotels were knocking off the window
blinds, and using all tbe available water
*o throw
THE OLABIHO MDSSTEU
reeking entroco at their casement to tbe
street below. The water-works on the
top of tho Brown Honse, wero called into
requisition, bnt were soon exhausted.
In tho oorridors and rooms the scene
of confusion coaid hardly be painted.
Frantio women rushed about in the ut
most confusion, and strong men seemed
paralvzsdwifh inaction.
On tbo outiido tbo flames were gaining
headway rapidly and surely.
no. 5 SAVES THE NATIONAL.
No. 5 at this timo devoted its attention
to tbe National.
Window after window was extinguish
ed, and tho wood work aronnd tbe roof
was pnt out, and in a abort while by tbe
gallant efforts of Defiance, the National
was saved, and the Hollingsworth and
Blake Hock fronting on Poplar street
between Third and Fourth, two of the
handsomest in the city, were rescued
fromjurther danger.
Too much credit cannot be given gel
lant No. C.
The-National then fell from interest
and Mention was centerod on the Brown
Dotajt
Thejteavy cornicing continued to hum.
Tbo Bteam of the engines had not gotten
sufficient force to reach the fire with
effectiveness. On tho conter of the roof
of the new pottion of the hotel stood
mansard turret. The exposed wood work
of this soon caught and commenced
burning briskly. But this was not oil.
From under the caves poured that pecu
liar tilack smoke which brings terror
tho hearts of all true firemen.
A moment later a sudden but seeming
ly suppressed glare sprang up and died
dawn immediately, bnt it was enough
show that tho o&tiro insida roof of tho
hotel was bunting with great vehemence
and tho flames were held down by tho tin
roof.
Tho flames soon worked their way
the surface by tho mansard tower and
mounted towaid the sky.
Tne rooms at the end of tbo hotel, over
looking the rostanrant, caught also, and
the conflagration over tho roof and that
portion ot the honse became Renersl.
Tbe idea of arresting tbo ilsmos at tho
plaoe where tbe old and new portions of
tbe hotol came together was then tho only
one left.
No. Three’s men wore mounted on tb
ladders of Hook andLadder, aad did val
iant service. No. 1 also played on the
same portion with nnro milting energy.
Tne coinicing having been burned so as to
beoomo detached, fell at intervals, mak
ing it very dangerous to approsch tbe
building. One lot l*?! on the firemen at
the pipe of No. 3. All miracnlonriy ea_
caped except one, wbo bad his leg pain
fully injured. Tho fight was desperate
Heroism was displayed which mocked
that of common coctBions, and demons
never worked harder than did tho gentle
men composing onr department To
crown their troubles the water gave ont,
and this necessitated the removal of en
gines, hose, etc., and a loss of time at
period of tho fire when every moment
wag a diamond in valae.
The flames now made rapid progress to
the old hotel, leaping across the dividing
line, and fastened on the shingles of tbe
tho roof. The work for the fire-fiend here
was easy.
Like a prisoner set free the flames leap,
ed and clapped their crimson hand*. Up
ward they mounted toward the sky,seem
ingly trying to kiss tbe clouds them
selves. With feet that seemed made of
tbe wind itself, they rushed along tbo
shingles, reached tho tower of this por
tion of the building, and wrapped it in
their glowing arms. Up the flag staff cn
the tower they climbed till they reached
the top and throw to the winds a hot and
hissing streamer in token of victory won
until the staff itself, weary ef the do
minion of the fire king, fell down in the
seething mass below.
The scene presented was grand.
From between each individual shingle
poured the hot heavy smoke, and each
jet united with its uext neighbor, rolled
np like a tidal wave of flame, breaking
on some smoke bound coast.
It was then evident that no power on
earth coold save the building.
With the limited supply of water the
firemen continued their work.
Everybody who could ruah in entered
the building and saved what they could,
pitching out of the windows, rolling
down stairs and hurrying out with every
thing portable.
The fire completely consumed the in
terior of the building from one end to
the other with the exception of the office,
readiag room and two stores on the front
side. All were, however, fcadly dam-
aged.
The crowd gathered was very large.
Dxrrsccnos almost unavoidable.
Since tbe occurrence of the fire much
severe and adverse criticism has .been ut
tered against the department. The ef
forts of the fire department were never
surpassed by any firemen in this country
or any other country. We say this free
ly and without reserve. Men could not
have worked harder, and that is all there
is about it- It is the general experience
that when a building becomes
well fired it is burned. When the
heavy cornicing caught, the flames were
drawn into thereof by the vent hole* un
der the eaves. The limbers within were
dry and before any one conld realize it
the entire roof was smouldering under
tho tin. To save it then was impossible-
Had water facilities been better, so
that ail five steamers conld have been
made available, the resnlt might have
been different.
There may have been, tco, some error
in tho judgment of those m command*
but in confusion of the time every one did
their best.
Tbe fire, too, being on the roof, was
difficult to reach. In the garret of the
house, waa stored the light material
used on State fair occasions —
very light and very inflammable. Another
thing which was fatal to the success of
the companies was that there werejoo
many .directing the movements of the
companies. Everybody seemed to think
that they knew exactly what waa to be
done and how to do it.
MILITARY GUARD.
After tbe things ot the hotel had been
brought ont and deposited iu the streets
the militsr; was ordered out and the Vol
unteers and Cadets appeared and for
boars kept gasid over them. Both com
panies deserve great praise for the faith
ful sintinel work.
When day light came tbe extent of the
loss began to be realized.
The handsome and cosily hotel which
tbe night before loomed np in all its se-
ourity and oomfort, waa a smouldering
heap of rains.
THE QUESTS.
Tbe guests, after they had been routed
ont, went to various places—some to the
National, soma to the Lanier Honse, and
some to private families. The honse was
filled with permanent boarders and tran
sient guests, all of whom escaped withoat
injury.
THE HOUSE.
The loss of the hotel is a serious one to
Macon. It is nothing short of a calami
ty to onr city. Tho Brown House was a
landmark in the town and no one who had
ever stopped in onr city was ignorant of
its existence. Situated just by the de
pot. it was a place which it waa comfort
to reach when worn and wearied with a
journey. It was bnilt in 1855 and opened
with a grand ball on January 1st, 185G.
Id 1869 an addition was mado and was
used for the firet timo during the State
fair of 18C9. It contained ono hundred
sleeping apartments, besides other rooms.
MR. BROWN.
But while tho regret of the city is
awakened at the loss of the house, the
greater sympathy is awakened for Mr
E. E. Brown and family, who are burn
ed ont of house and home. Mr. Brown
has devoted his wholo life to Macon; has
lirod his yonng manhood here; devoted
to the placo the energies of his riper
years, and now in the ovening of his days
is visited by this sweeping calamity, and
the work of a lifetime is awept away in
single night.
We yesterday sought for him and fonnd
him seated in the familiar arcade smoking
a cigar and contemplating tbo wreck.
He bears his misfoztane like a philosc
pher.
He estimates that one third of the fur
niture was saved, bnt in a damaged con
dition. Tho bndal chamber furniture
was saved. Tho moat costly portion of
the furnishing of the honse was in the
new part of tbo building and was lost.
The handsomo grand piano was taken
ont, bnt damaged. The parlor forniture
was saved, but broken and injured.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown saved nothing at
all of their personal effeots. Mrs. W: F.
Brown saved nothing.
He spoke oalmly of the catastrophe—
ifiid he expeotod if be ever was burned
ont that tbe fire would oome from that
side. He eaid he felt very tbankfnl to
tbo yonDg monfor their efforts, andnover
saw men work harder. Mr. Brown hopes
from the wreck to save enough and to
make arrangements to rebuild tbo honse
tho Bize it was before the addition
-was made. He eetimates the loea on tbe
honse at $100,000. The furniture and
fixtures cost about $40,000, bnt wero not
new, of course. Mr. Brown fortunately
eaves tbe furniture of his late residence
on Orange street, it not being in tho ho
tel. His indebtedness is much smaller
than was supposed and he hopes from the
ingnranco to save $10,000, which will,
with the ground, be a very good begin
ning.
The losses may be snmmed np as fol
lows :
Tho Brown House building $100,000
insurance $40,000, as follows:
In tho Fire Association of Philadelphia
$5,000; Petersburg Savings Insurance
Company $5,000, C. B. Willingham,
agent.
In tho Scottish Commercial $2,500, T
U. Conner, agent.
The re3t, $25,000, of the inBnranco is
placed in Northern companies whose
names aro not known.
On tho furniture is an insurance of $5,-
000; in the Virginia Fire and Marine
$2,500, and the Weat Chester $2,500, T
U. Conner, agent.
Mr. T. H. Harris, bar and billiards.
Loss unknown. Tables saved.
Wm. Savage, barber shop. Loss $30
The stores suffered as follows :
Charloj Wachtel, clothing. Loss on
stock $2,000. Insurance $1,500 in Con
tinental.
J. B. Williams, frnite. Loss $100.
Peyser, cigar manufactory and tobac
cos. Lose between $1,200 and $1,500. In
sured for $1,000 with Jewett and Rogers.
Tbe next store was vacant.
J. L. Kennedy, bar and billiards.
Loss unknown,hardly less than $1,000.
Wheeler’s bir and restaurant. Insured
for $1,600 with W. W. Carnes. About
covered. On building $500 insurance in
Weat Chester with T. U. Conner. Other
losses were slight.
Mr. W. A. Wylie loses about $150.
Some of the guests lose heavily, Cap
tain John Rutherford lost nearly every
thing in his room. Mr. Wm. Mason lost
everything. Mr. Dreyfon, and Mr. Nnss-
banm lost many things. Others more or
less.
THE ORIGIN.
The origin of the fire is supposed to
have been inoendiary. Mr. Wheeler was
his saloon at 12:10 and all firea were
ont. Several attempts have been made
fire the bailding in the reoent p*Jv.
REBUILDING.
Active steps ara being taken to en
deavor to rebuild the hotel with flatter
ing prcspect of ,nooses. With some en
ergy a homo can be put np in a very
short time. It is absolutely necessary
that it lie replaced by October for tbe
sueeess of the State Fair, and we balisve
it will be done.
THE DXTARTMENT.
We car not bnt revert te tbe gallantry
of tbe firemen. They were on duty
noarly twenty-four hoars. Every oompa-
ny merits high praise, not exoepting
Hook and Ladder, for their untiring devo
tion.
LESSON*.
Lessons are to be gathered though from
this fire, and one of them is to have more
discipline in the Department in tbe fa-
tnre.
The burning of the Brown House will
long be remembered. We hope to be
able to chronicle in the near future the
rebailding of tbe house, and for the new
structure a popularity never attained in
tbo palmiest days of the past, and its
honored and venerable founder at the
head of affairs. Let our people move in
this matter. They owe it to the city and
they owe tt to themselves.
—A Knot of Blue nt Gray.”
At the rehearsal of the Amatenr Min
strels, we were much impressed with the
words of a ballad that will be sung at the
approaching entertainment, by Mr. Julian
Price.
It is needless to say that Mr. Price
sings it welt, and with much taste and
feeling. The ballad Is entitled,
‘•A KNOT OP BLUE AND GRAY.”
Too ask me why upon my breast
Unchanged from day to day.
Linked side by aide in this broad band,
I wear the bine and gray.
I had two brothers long ago.
Two brothers bright and gay.
One wore the coat ot Northern blue.
And one the coat ot Southern gray.
One heard the roll call of the South.
And link'd his fate wit n Lee;
The other bore the stirs and stripes
With Sherman to tbe sea.
And that is wby upon my breast.
Unchanged from dax to day.
Linked side by side in this broad band.
I wear a knot ol bine and gray.
Each feueht for what he damned the right.
And fell with sword in hand;
Ono sleeps amid Virginia's hills.
And one by Georgia's strand.
Tbe same sun shines on both their graves.
And rests o’er hill and plain.
And in my dreams of vanished days
Both brothers live sgsin.
And that is why upon my breist.
Unchanged from day to day,
Lind’d side by side in this broad band,
I wear a knot of blue and gray.
The aeng is ono of the prettiest we ever
heard. We shall have occasion to say
something more in regard to tho fine mu
sic that will be given at the next perform
ance.

Tribute to tbe Orator of tbe Evening.
Editors Telegraph and He ssenger: I am
delighted to learn that our community
will soon be favored with a lecture by
my friend and former townsman, Gener
al Alphens Baker, of Alabama. I have
known this knightly, gifted eon of the
South many years, and 1 regard him as
one of the greatest geniuses I tv,jr knew.
He possesses the powerful imagination of
the poet, the electric fire of eloquence, a
copious and beautiful diction and the
rich humor which so often accompanies
genius. He has tho power to entertain
and electrify an audience such as few
men possess. I consider him altogether
superior to Talmage in original genius,
humor and oratorical power. I hope ho
will be greeted by an overflowing house.

A CARD*
I Embrace this first opportunity of stating
that while I am gratefully thankful to the
Macon Fire Depa-tment generally .and to friends
and citizens fur most efficient service in sating
from destruction by fire the National Hotel
building and contents, on last Saturday night, I
am under special and peculiar obligations to No
5 Company tor their he-oic and herculean efforts
that arrested tho flame.**, which at oun timo
seemed to doom the bailding inevitably to the
fire fiend.
1 also return my sineerest thanks to those cit
izens and friend!*, tbo guests and employees of
tbe hotel who labored so strenuously and untir
ingly m removing tho furniture and contents
from the building, as well as their very kind as
sistance in prctectingand replacing it after tbo
fire.
1 can never forget Mr J O McMillan for his
thoughtful attention and protecting care of my
family, and especially of my precious little onto,
during the intense excitement, and with them
retr .tour herrtfclt thanks.
While d only sympathizing with those ot my
friends and neighbor* who have suffered almost
irreparab’e loss by this dreed/ul conflagration—
and as 1 hope duly appreciating my own good
fortune.I take this opportunity to inform thepub-
lic that the slight iniurics done tho National Ho
tel will bo replaced in two or three days, and
with the addition of ten more looms, I am pre
pared to serve them as heretofore with my best
efforts a id the best table the market af -
fords, at the same reasonable charge*. I therefore
tarneetlyand cordially invite your continued
and increased patronage.
