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. Scene from "Tire Eternal City" to kc ;e. n liere tomorrow nifkt. AT LAST THERE IS LIGHT IN ARCADIA.

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.

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. LOST—Lady’s black handbag, taining sum of money. ] please leave at Herald office ward.
