POOR BUILDINGS BURNED
TWO FIRES DESTROY $35,000
WORTH OF PROPERTY.
Four Stores on Congress Street
Gutted end a Dwelling on Gordon
Bvreet Damaged—Narrow Escape of
Firemen and Spectators from Being
Euried Under a Falling Wall—Rob
ert Mclntyre, Heidt & Slater, A. N.
Kublman, Nathan Bros., and Mrs. J.
Alexander the Principal Losers.
Two fires—one at Congress, Jefferson and
St. Julian streets and tbs other on Gordon
street—destroyed $35,000 worth of property
last night.
The Gordon street fire broke out at 11:29
o’clock, and the engines bad hardly got to
work before an alarm was sent in from
station No. 12, at Bay and Jefferson streets.
The second fire started in A.* N. Kubl
roan’s harness and saddlery establishment.
No. 132 Congress street. It broke out on
the second floor ou the St. Juliau street
side, and in fire minutes the smoke, wbiob
poured out through the roof in thick vol
umes, settled in the street, stifling the flre
,roen and rendering it almost impos
sible to get to the building.
Engines Nos. 1 and 2 and the aerial ladder
responded to tbs alarm. Chief Puder, who
was at the Gordon street fire, placed Assist
ant Chief Mouro in charge, and, taking the
“Mogul” reel, with 000 feet of hose and pick
ing up the foreman of No. 4 reel,
hurried to the Congress street fire.
Engines 1 and 2 were already at work, and
No. 4 arrived in a few minutes. The fire
was burning inside the building and pow
erful steams were playiug through the
windows from both Congress and St. Julian
streets.
DRIVEN BACK BT SMOKK.
The dense smoke drove the men from the
ladders again and again, and they were at
a disadvantage. The doors aud lower win
dows, which had been kept closed,
were broken in and streams were
played from the sidewalk. But the
fire had got under headway, and in five
minutes more the roof had fallen in.
Heidt & Slater, grocers. No. 184 Congress
street, adjoining Kuhlman’s|store, and sep
erated only by a thin wall, had a SIO,OOO
stock of groceries. Mr. Slater, Policeman
Collins and Fireman Hanley went through
the building while the fire was burning lia
Kuhlman’s establishment,and had just come
out when the roof of the burning building
sank in and the walls on tha Jefferson
street side toppled and fell with a tremen
dous crash. The fall was without warning,
except a few loose bricks, which drove the
crowd back. A second later the crash
cime. The firemen jumped from the
ladders and escaped. Fifty peo
ple were standing under the wall
a moment before it fell, apprehending no
danger. The firemen turned streams of
water upon the debris, but there was no
fire, aud the damage to the grocery stock
was principally by water.
THE FIRE'S PROGRESS.
The fire in the meanwhilo had burned
through the walls between Kuhlman’s and
Nathan Bros’, fiouse furnishing establish
ment, No. 180>£ Congress, and in half an
hour the store was gutted.
Mrs. J. Alexauder'Bclothing store, next to
Nathan Bros., caught fire in the roof, aud
the upper story was gutted. The principal
damage to the stock, however, was by
water. In three-quarters of an hour after
the fire started it was under control.
The buildings burned and damaged are
the stores Nos. 180, 180 X, 182, and 184 Con
gress street, running through to St. Julian.
The buildings are two stories high, and
were erected some time in the ’3oa. They
were owned by Mr. Robert McAityre. The
property was valued at $20,000, and was
insured for $12,000 in the Southern Mutual
ana other companies represented by Hear
ing & Hull.
Heidt & Slater were about half insured
in companies represented by Hearing & Hull
aud Haines & Daniel.
Nathan Bros, carried a stock estimated
at SB,OOO, upou which there was $4,000 in
surance In M. A. Cohen’s agency.
Kuhlman's and Mrs. Alexander’s losses
and insurance are uuknown, but tbs losses
will probably not exceed $5,000.
The origin of the fire is unknown. It was
discovered by a colored boy in Freid &
Hick’s restaurant, who saw the smoke com
ing through the roof. Police
mnn Collins wus uotfled and ho ran to
No. 2 engine house and gave the alarm
Later on an alarm was turned in from box
No. 12.
The cause of the collapse of Heidt &
Slater’s store walls was the sinking of the
roof of the adjoining building, which pushed
the walls out.
THE GORDON STREET FIRE,
As Policeman Brantly was riding past
No. 33>£ Gordon street a few minutes after
11 o’clock he discovered a light iu the reir
of the house and smoke issuing from the
roof. He opened a blind and saw the dining
room wrapped in flame!. He rode
to Lincoln and Jones and turned
in the alarm from box No. 28.
The companies at headquarters and
N-. 4 engine responded. Assistant Chief
Mouro had charge of the fire, and he turned
the water from both engines on the burning
building. The fire had gained good head
way and it was not easily
quenched. All of the furniture
in the dining-room was burned, and the
flames went through the partition and
spread out in the hallway and burned the
stairway. The wails and ceiling were
burned, and the fire ate into the next house
but little damage was done.
The house was ocoupied by Aaron
'Williams, a wheelwright. The family was
away from home. Some of the relatives
had married and Mr. Williams aud bis
family were attending a reception. The
fire originated from the side
board in the dining-room. It is
supposed that a lamp exploded.
When the firemen burst open the doors a
lamp which was sitting out In the center of
the room on the dining table also exploded.
The property is owned by Gris Langlev, a
carpenter at the Central railroad. The
house was insured, as was the furniture.
The loss to the house is estimated at $509,
Ana f2OO will cover the loss to furniture.

THE CHOIR ENTERTAINMENT.
'
• The Theater Crowded and the Audi
ence Delighted.
The St Patrick’s choir organ fund enter
i tainment at the theater last night was a
I complete success. The programme was an
attractive one.
The first number was a trio, "Barca
j rolle,” by Campana, sung by Mrs. Altick,
Miss King and Miss O’Byrne. The tonal
i quality was pleasing in the ensemble, and
: much applause followed
The rest number was a tenor and bats
j due\ “Is life worth living?” well rendered
by Messrs. Donovan and Dumas, and was
enthusiastically applauded.
Mr. il. A. O'Byrne was down to sing a
Lass solo, but his absence from the city de
prived the audience of the song.
The soprano solo, “Angels’ Serenade.”
sung by Mrs. Altiok, was worthy of special
remark. Tbit lady showed true artistic
spirit iu her rendition of this musical gem.
Her phrasing and expression were both ac
curate and true.
James Douglas played a violin obligato,
which added another charm to this divine
song.
Mr. Donovan tang a tenor solo, “Homs
of My Heart,” by Wallace, in au excellent
manner.
Then followed a piano duet, “Galop Mil
itairo,” by Miss O’isymo and Miss Doug
lass. Tho composition is catchy and spir
ited and the playing of it provoked consid
erable applause.
Mis- Josie King was received as au old
favorite, and in her singing of the soprano
solo, “Com ’e Belloe,” by Donizetti, iu the
original Italian, she carried off the
chief honors of the evening. This
solo is seldom attempted by any save
professional lingers. In its rendition Miss
King displayed good musical perception
aud taste, aud she richly deserved the en
core which she received. She responded
with an exquisite ballad, “In Old Madrid,”
which was rendered in equally ns perfect a
manner os the first selection.
M. H. Longhead sang “Anchored” in a
fine, manly style. He has a baritone voice
of agreeable quality and extensive range.
His singing was very acceptable and elicited
much upplause.
The concert part of the programme closed
with the singing of a solo and chorus from
“The Moosquetaires,” by Mia. Altick and
the choir. The singing of this number was
creditable and showed the partioipauM had
been well trained.
Mrs. Dumas, Miss Ida O’Byrne and Mr. T.
Richards accompanied at the piano, and
greatly aided the soloists as wed us the
chorus.
The play that followed was the same
played at ti.e former entertainment, “A
Regular Fix.” Asa whole It was
a performance of unusual excellence.
J. F. Doyle, as “Hugh de Brass”, was
more fetching If possible than on the pre
vious occasion. It may sound strange that
he should be so, but he was. Mr, Doyle is
unquestionably the foremost actor ou toe
local stage, and One of the most popular.
James Laue and R. J. Warrick carried
their parts as “Mr. Surplus” and “Charles
Surplus” with eaie and ooufldence, aud
seemed rather to be professionals than ama
teurs. The other members of the cast had
not so much to do. They were:
Abel Quick, clerk to Surplus... Mr. Ed. Leonard
Smller, a sheriff’s officer Mr. Win. Fleming
Porter Mr. Larry Doyle
Mrs. Surplus Miss Daly
Lmi1y....... Miss Conway
Mrs. Deborah Carter, housekeeper
to Surplus Miss McEvoy
Matilda Jaue Miss Katie Mehrieus
At the conclusion of the farce Mr. I.
Maoheiin, anew tenor, sang, “Let Me Like
a Soldier Fall,” by Wallace, which was per
sistently encored. He responded with au
otber song.
Mr. Frank Garvey sang a comic song,
“So Near It,” which proved a hit with the
audience, and he received nuinerons recalls.
The programme closed with calisthenic
exercises by a number of young ladies
dressed iu a becoming costume, with cadet
cap, blue blouse and white skirt.
The now movements and forma
tions, including the grand march
recitation bv the graceful leader. Miss
Allie Kennedy was one of the most attract
ive features of the entertainment. Many
complimentary remarks were made anent
the fascinating appearance of the young
Cadets and their graceful movements. Miss
Kennedy received several bouquets of
flowers.
During the most pathetic part of Miss
Kennedy’s recitation the fire alarm bell
rang and the fire engines dashed past the
theater wilh clangorous whirl, causing
the building to vibrate and the
audience to rise to their feet for
a moment. The scone was dramatic,
but the recitatiouist kept right on with her
part unconscious, seemingly, of the excite
ment, which she did so much to preveut
with her uncommon coolness and nerve.
The entertainment was a financial success,
much of which was to the energetic and
intelligent direction of H. A. Dumas. The
proceeds are for the benefit of the St.
Patrick’s organ fund.

Two fine old English portrait paintings
are on exhibit at Theus’ store, at Broughton
and Bull streets. They were brought to
this country nearly a century ago, aud are
as fresh almost to-day as when first brought
over. The subject!"are “Sensibility” and
“Pensivenew." They was exhibited cnee
before iu Atlanta, and SSOO were offered
for them and refused. Copies of them by
the same artist Reynolds, arc hung in the
British Museum, London. Etchings from
them have made their appearance from
time to time from the studio of some fa
mous etcher, and the popularity of the sub
jects does not appear to wane. It has been
said that one of the portraits represents the
original Duchess of Marlborough. Be this
as it may the artist certainly knew bow
to paint so as to keop the faces represented
“ever fair aud ever young.”

Once for the Celebration in 1891—A
Lottery to be Held at Tybee Next
Month—Tbe Association’s Plans.
A rousing meeting was held last night by
the executive committee of Merchants’
wdbk at the Travelers’ Exchange.
The object of tbe meeting was to form an
association to celebrate Merchants’ week in
the future, aud the idea was carried out to
the letter.
Upon motion of A. S. Guckenheimer, the
executive committee was organized an asso
ciation, with the following members:
President—H. W. Palmer.
Vico President—Maurice Deitsb.
Secretary and Treasurer—Max Robinson.
The board of directors are:

TO TAKE HOLD AT ONCE.
The association is to assume the indebted
ness and take charge of the assets of Mer
chants’ week. The following were ap
pointed a committee on organization aud
charter: IL W. Palmar, Maurice Deitsb,
and J. F. Brooks.
Mr. Deitsh believed that the association
should begin at once to increase the fund
for Merchants’ week. Looking to this end,
he suggested a lottery scheme to be con
ducted at Tybee. Hi mentioned as a suitable
time Juue 25. He proposed 5,090 or 7,000
ticket*, to be issued throughout the country
adjacent to Savannah, and that excursions
he run from Macon, Atlanta, Columbus,
Augusta, Jacksonville, Charleston, aud in
fact all points where the railroads will
furnish the rates.
Chairman Palmar appointed J. C. Shaw,
Charles F. Prendergast, A. S. Guoken
heimer, C. S. Connerat, and J. R. Dillon a
commit tee to arrange for the lottery.
The committee will hold a meeting Mon
day night to discuss the plans of the lot
tery. It is believed now that ticket books
will be issued and sent out to the mer
chants to dispose of. The prizes will run
high, and it is thought the aggregate given
in prizes will exceed any ever given in
Savannah. The time of holding tbe lot
tery at Tybee is most opportune.
It is just about the time when the Tybee
season is being,well inaugurated, and before
any other entertainments are given on the
island. The up-country people will be
anxious to get down hereabout then, and
the chauce* are that the affair will be one of
the most interesting ever seen on tbe island.
A BCSINEB3 MEN’S ENTERPRISE.
A business man, speaking of the action of
the committee in forming an association to
keep alive the spirit of thrift and enter
prise started in Merchants’ week, said that
it is a step in the right direction. It is
something that Savannah needs, and needs
badly. The affair this year was a pro
nonneed success, and everybody who came
over to Savannah was pleised, but it will
not compare with the Merchants’ week
in 1891. That will be conducted
upon a scale much larger aid upon a surer
plan. What experience the managers have
already will enable them to make a vast
improvement Where there were 10,000
people here last Merchants’ week, the mana
gers want to get 30,000. Merchants’ week,
he said, is the bigg-st thing Savannah ever
had. It was the biggest affair of the kind,
probably, ever seen in the state.
It was conducted upon the same
plan that all entertainments heretofore
have beeu conducted; that is, with no or
ganized body to manage it. The forma
tion of an association to take charge of
such affairs is upou the same principle as
large cities have adopted to conduct car
nivals and large entertainments like that
which Savannah proposes to have in the
future. The association will begin work at
once. Five members will constitute a
quorum. „

LIGHTNING’S STRANGE FREAK.
A Huts Oak Peeled and the Bark
(Thrown Over a Housetop.
During the thunder storm last Tuesday
lightning played a strange freak with an
oak tree in front of Mr. J. B. Smith’s prem
ises on the Ogeechee road, miles from
the city. The bolt struck au oak
measuring about twelve feet in circum
ference, peeling the bark off perfectly
clean, like a house log, down to tbe very
roots, leaving twenty distinct perpendicular
streaks on the bare trunk. The bark was
thrown over the dwelling, distant about 100
feet from the tree. Into the back yard. Mrs.
Smith, who was in the house, felt tbe heat
of the lightning, but was not affected by it.
Mr. Smith and*the children were in the
store about sixty feet from the tree, but
escaped without even a shock. A few sec
onds before tbe flash Mr. Smith let a
colored man, who had sought shelter from
the storm under the tree, into his store, thus
saving his life.

FATAL FELINE CURIOSITY.
Cat3 Leap Into a Tub or Lime and
Meet an Unexpected Death.
From the Neu> York Star.
For the past few days the laborers em
ployed around Mount Morris hotel, One
hundred and Twenty-ninth street and Third
avenue, have been busy picking dead cats
out of a tub of lime which had been placed
in tbe cellar for the use of workmen who
were replastorlug some of the walls. After
water had been placed in with the lime the
laborers left it, but within fifteen minutes
they heard a startling noise, which they
took to be an ordinary feline concert. After
returning to the lime, however, they found
in it the dead bodies of three cats. The fur
was burned off each of the bodies, and the
lime had eaten into the skin. Oao of the
cats was a beautiful white oue with pink
eyes. It had been around the plaoe since
the hotel was opened, some six years ago.
This cat the proprietor valued at S2OO, aud
a few years ago when the animal was stolen
a large reward was offered for it.
The proprietor accused the lalorors of
throwing the cats into the lime, and was
about to have each of the employes arrested
ou the following day, when, to his surprise,
tho rneu, who had been absent from the
place all night, brought up two more dead
bodies of cats burned just as the others
were. That evening one of the proprietors,
Jerry Mullin, saw a cat deliberately jump
into the lime. The men were called, and
the cat was fished out. It died a few hours
later. The laborers took sticks and felt
around in the lime for more cats. They
fouud two, making seven dead bodies found
in the lime and oue cat rescued.
Then the men invented a kind of life
preserver for other cats who might be at
tracted to the plaoe. Pieces of wood were
thrown into the lime, and other boards
were placed from the edge of the tub to the
bottom, so that cats fulling or jumping
into the lime would have somethiug to
catch hold of and climb out. Through
these preservers one old cat aud a kitten,
about 5 months old, managed to escape
death.
What attraction there Is for oats in the
lime cannot be learned, but it is certain
that the cats went into the tub of their own
accord.
A Bear in Church.
During divine services ou a recent Sun
day a bear, which had escaped from the
stable of a neighboring publio house, in
which its owner, a traveling showman, was
located, entered a chapel near Mortlake,
England. Women shrieked and children
cried, and there was a general rush for the
door. Tbe bear, round whose neck was a
thick chain, made its wav to the empty
choir stalls, where it lay down. The min
ister, whose high and commodious pulpit
had suddenly beoome occupied by several
female members of his congregation, was
iu the midst of his discourse at the time of
the animal’s appearance, and had chose i
for his text the words "Be not Afraid.”
The sermon was brought to au abrupt ter
mination. The anxiety of pastor a,id peo
p.e was set at rest by the arrival of the
owner of the animal. The bear was got
out of the chapel with ease and taken back
to its quarters.

STRANGE MARRIAGE.
A Catholic Clergyman nnd a Sister of
Charity Man and W ife.
From the Salt Lake City Times.
According to the story of William
Mathewson, a well-known merchant of San
Francisco, who spent Sunday in Salt Lake,
the east-bound Central Pacific train con
tained, among other passengers, a couple
who, had their history been known, would
have attracted more than ordinary atten
tion. The story is a long one, and in order
to get the full details one must go back to
the beginning.
In Orange county, New York, about
thirty yeare ago, lived a well-to-do Irish
farmer, who, by Industry and thrift, had
become the possessor of several broad acres
of land and some spare cash besides. He
had only one son,* Patrick, a bright lad,
aud the bight of hi3 ambition was to soa
him fitted for a better position in life than
that of a farmer. To t.ds end he sent bi 9
boy to the best Catholic school in the coun
try, end great v. as his joy when ha learned
from the lips of the young man that he had
decided to take holy orders and become a
priest.
Time passed on, and Father Patrick Han
lon was the name added to the roster of the
clergy of the churah founded by Peter, and
against which it is written the gates of bell
shall not prevail.
The young priest’s first duties were in a
little town of Nebraska, wuere for a year
or two be worked assiduously in building
up his little charge. So successful was he
that the attention of his bishop was called
to his work, and in a very short time he
was commended for his earnestness by Car
dinal Manning.
And then came a change. His holiness
Pope Leo must have the faith spread in
Australia. Young men were wanted to
carry tho banner of the cross into the far
off country; to teach the way of eternal life
to the benighted people of the remote inte
rior, and. by a special order from the cardi
nal, indorsed by the pontiff. Father Hanlon
was included among the many who were to
spread the gospel of light among the people
of the large island.
For two years did Father Patrick labor
earnestly among the rough people of the
distriot to which he was assigned. That he
was successful can be attested by the state
ment that in lien of holding services in the
dingy old building he found when he first
visited the spot, he, in less than a year, cel
ebrated the mass iu a neat little church
built by bis flock, who had learned to love
him, and from the further fact that the
town to which ho was assigned was no
longer considered as rough, but that its
people were fast becoming quiet and or
derly.
But the physical nature of the young man
could not bear the constant strain, and ere
long his health failed him. Realizing that
his labor on earth would soon be finished if
he did not seek rest, he asked to be relieved
for a time and went to Melbourne. Here be
sought his much needed repose from duty
and here is where the romantic part of the
tale begins.
In the Hospital of St. Vincent was a sis
ter of mercy, who was known to tbe sister
hood as Sister Agatha. A beautiful woman
was she, with wonderfully lustrous eyes
and one of the sweetest faoas that God ever
endowed womankind with. The touch of
her hand was the softest, and the music of
fcor voice the sweetest to the poor unfortun
ates who were sent to the institution. Sis
ter Agatha had a history. She was a
daughter of an English clergyman, aud hod
become a convert to the Catholic faith dur
her early childhood. When she became of
age she left her home and united herself
with the Sisters of Mercy and had gone to
Australia.
While in Melbourne Father Hanlon occa
sionally visited the hospital. And here is
where the Church of Rome lost one of its
most tireless workers and St. Vincent’s
Hospital its most gentle, loving nurse.
It was a case of love at first sight on the
part of both, and yet neither was glad.
By the solemn vows of the church both
were bound to a life of chastity. But it
was not to he. The ruler of all hearts had
not so ordained, and, working in his inscrut
able way, willed otherwise.
In oonsequence. Father Hanlon proposed.
The details of the struggle he underwent
before he could fully justify himself that he
was taking tho right course, will ever
remain a secret until tbe morning of tbe
resurrection. And the proposal will remain
locked in two human beans, a closely
guarded treasure, until it shall be told
before the throne on the day when the
morning stars shall sing together, and the
so ii3 of the eternal shout for joy.
They were married, not, however, until
the church authorities had beeu notified.
In vain did the bishop of Father Hanlon’s
diocese plead with him not to take the step.
The die was cast, the Rubicon crossed and
tbe wedding took place.
Ere the tidings could fly across tbe sea to
the old home in New York, the young man
learned that his father had died and left
him his entire fortuno. It was toward the
old home of his boyhood that he and his
wife were going when the Times informant
met them. Mr. Mathewson had known
the young man in his infancy, and to him
had told his story.
Thus ended the story of the first and only
instance of the kind on record.

How I Was Cured of 80-Called
Cancer.
_ „ . Lulaton, Ga.
Dear Sir—This is to certify that I was a suf
ferer with a place on my utioerlip for fourteen
years, and was under treatment ot diff-reot
physicians, but they did me no good. I had
fosthope of being cured by medical treatment.
I then went to a doctor living in Florida, who
treated them by art, After going to him it got
well, apparently, for a while, but returned as
bad as ever. I then concluded to try P. P. P.
(Prickly Ash, Poke Root, aud Potassium), and
after taking five bottles—pint size—was cured.
I also find it to be a good medicine to give a
good appetite and to give proper digestion.
Yours truly, L. J. Strickland.— Adv.
