New Building Was Almost Completed.'
Loss Falls on Contractor. j
James M. Smith Science Hall, at the
State Normal School, Athens, was de
stroyed by fire Saturday morning, |
The building was almost, finished
and would have been turned over to
the school authorities by the con- !
tractors within the next six or eight
weeltB at the latest. As it Is, the loss
fulls on the contractor, George B/,Hln-
man, of Atlanta.
1 The building, which waB the hand
somest on the campus of the Normal
School, was almost finished. The work
of plastering the second Btory was pro
gressing. and Friday ulght, when it
became apparent that the tempera
ture would fall belov; the freezing
point, two stoves were placed on tho
second floor of the building and were
to keep the building warm throughout
the night to prevent the freezing of
the plastering.
A negro was hired to stay In the
building and carefully look after the
fires, while the night watchman of the
Normal School kept a close watch from
the outside to gunrd against nny dan
ger.
The negro must have dozed during
the early hoyrs of the morning, for
about 4 o'clock he discovered fire in
the building and found that the struc
ture had caught from one of the
stoves. He rushed out to give the
ahum and found the night watchman.
Then they gave the alarm to the au
thorities of tho school and the young
people who wore asleep In the dormi
tories near the burning building.
While the alarm was being turned
In to the city fire department, the
young men at the school did all they
eoidd to stop the progress of the
flames.
Loss Not as Great as Expected.
Athens, Ga., Feb. 3.—Architect Har
alson Blccltly and Contractor George
B. Htnman, of Atlanta, arrived this
afternoon and after examining the
ruins of the burned building at the
Normal School agreed that the loss
would not exceed $16,000 or $17,000.
and that the insurance on the building
amounted to about $15,000. Thus the
net loss 1b much less than was at first
expected.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE
FOR COUNTY TREASURER.
Mr. P. E. Tucker Asks for His Friends’
Support In Primary.
The announcement of Mr. P. E.
Tucker for Treasurer of Dougherty
county appears elsewhere In the col
umns of The Herald this evening. Mr.
Tucker’s candidacy Is subject to the
Democratic primary which has been
called for the 22hd of March.
This makes the treasurershlp race
three-cornered, with Mr. R. P. Hall
still before' the people as an additional
candidate for "Clerk and Treasurer."
Mr. Hall Is, ns has previously been
explnlned, unopposed as a candidate
for clerk, but he contends that as the
law In the case at present stands he
can not run for Clerk without also
running for Treasurer, the two offices
not having been legally divorced.
Mr. Tucker has many friends who
will support him, and It Is presumed
that he will at once Inaugurate an ag
gressive campaign, such as Is being
conducted by Messrs. Paul H. Jones
and H. A Tarver, the opposing candi
dates.
AFTER WEEK’S I1LNESS
MR. DAVID CASSEL DIES.
After an illness of a week. Mr. David
Ca3sel, died of pneumonia late last
night at the home of his brother, Mr.
Max Cassel, on Broad street.
The deceased was 49 years of age.
5Tb came to Albany about a year ago
from Paducah, Ky., and was engaged
In business with hfs brother, Mr. Her
man Cassel, at the time of his death.
Pneumonia followed a severe attack
of the grip.
Mr. Cassel was of a rather retiring
disposition, anl for that reason was
not. very well known here. Surviving
Mm are his brothers, Messrs. Herman
and Max Cassel, and two sisters,
Misses Sarah aa.l Tena Cassel, all of
this city.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Jewish sy aagogue at 3 o’clock this
afternoon by Kabbi Edmund A. Lan
dau. In their bereavement, the strick
en family have the sympathy of a host
of friends.
"So let It be done."—-Hercules.
There is light In Arcadia.
The poles are up, most of the cables
have been strung, and at least on one
corner, that of Jefferson and Third,
there was a brilliant arc lamp In com
mission last night.
In the course of a few days, all the
lamps will be up and In service. They
will be on all the principal corners in
the.attractive residence section recent
ly taken In, and will add very much to
the desirability of that part of Albany
as a place to live In.
Horse Was Handy With His Feet.
An iron-gray horse attached to a
top buggy gave an exhibition of kick
ing on Broad street, In front of the
Exchange Bank, this morning, which
caused spectators to wonder.
The animal ran from Farkas’s sta
ble to Washington street, where he
stopped and set his heels in motion.
In a very few seconds the buggy had
been practically demolished, and the
negro occupant of the vehicle had
been hurled Into the dust of the
street. That he escaped serious In
jury seemed miraculous to those who
witnessed the smash-up.
Having kicked away all connection
between himself and the vehicle, the
horse continued his way, dragging the’
broken harness after him. He was
subsequently captured after having
run off his wire edge.
