STILL ANOTHER FIRE.
A Negro Woman Arrested—Is She
Guilty?
The busy hum of trade and busi
ness on Broad street, vas brought to
a sudden stop yesterday about 12
o’clock, by the now familiar fire bells.
The firemen broke for their
engine houses—gallant fellows always
ready—and the populace rushed for
the scene of conflagration, which
proved to be the stables of Mr.
F. H. Beebe, of Boston, Mass. The
stables and adjoining outhouse were
found enveloped in scetliiug flames,
the black volumes of smoke curling
about the two or three buildings ’in
close proximity. The firemen did
heroic work, every company and
every man, vicing with each other,
as to who could best work. The res
idence of Mr. Win. Miller, was in
most emminent danger, but the fire,
men proved equal to the occasion
they saved it. The bucket brigade,
mounting the smoking building, and
getting water from a hydrant in the
yard, did splendid work. The pri
vate hose and hydrants belonging to
the place, proved highly serviceable.
They were made effective from the
first outburst of the flumes. The
furniture and everything moveable
was carried out of Mr. Millers resi
dence. The fire attracted au im
mense crowd, and it was au angry
crowd. Every one felt' outraged at
this, the fourth attempt to burn a
building within forty-eight hours.
That the building was keroseued and
set on fire, as two others have just
been, there is no doubt. Had posi
tive evidence been at hand, the per
petrator would have fared badly at
the hands of the crowd.
Elleu King, a negro woman, was
arrested during the fire aud
carried to jail. Mrs. Miller saw this
woman leaving the premises about
two minutes before the crackliug
flames were heard. The woman did
uot live ou the lot, nor had she any
business there. The matter was re
ported to Mayor Hopkins, and ho
promptly ordered her arrest. Upon
being asked, after she was sent to jail,
if she had been about the lot, she
positively denied having been there.
Mrs. Miller, however, who knows
the woman perfectly well, says she
will swear that she saw Ellen leaving
the lot, as above stated. It is thought
that there arc others engaged in the
house burning business. The negro
woman—if she is guilty—doubtless
has confederates. The frequency of
fires ofjlate, points to the faet that
more thau one is engaged in the work.
The stables cost about 8400. They
were insured for 8300.
Fires and Fire Department.
The frequency of fires of late, most
of which are clearly traceable to incen
diary origin, should put the authorities
on the alert. There are evidently fire
bugs in Thomasville. The city au
thorities should leave nothing undone
to hunt down these miscreants. They
are public enemies, even worse than
that: they are a standing menace to
both life and properly. The severest
punishment should be inflicted on
these night hawks.
In this connection, we may refer to
the resolution passed by the Hook
and Ladder Company at a meeting on
Wednesday night, asking for an ex
tension hook and ladder truck. Our
fire department is a volunteer one,
working without pay, and they should
be furnished with everything necessary
to successfully combat the flames.
There are two things jvhich our town at
all limes should be liberal with, that is
the health aud fire departments.
Money properly and judiciously ex
pended in either of these directions, is
money welt expended. The fire de
partment, including each company,
should be carefully inspected by the
proper authorities, at ieasj once a
month, for the purpose of seeing that
everything is in perlect working order.
Itjwould also be well at frequent inter
vals to inpsect the various cisterns in
the town, of which their are something
over twenty, to see that the pipes
leading to them from surrounding
houses are in order, and that the cis
terns are kept full of water. It is uppar-
ent at almost every fire that the quan
tity ol hose is deficient. And then
the quality of hose* is also deficient.
Water spurts Irom joints which should
be light, and in some cases, the hose
will not hear a full pressure from the
engines. In view of the constant
danger which seems to threaten the
town, these, and other matters con
nected with the efficiency of (lie fire
department, should receive the prompt
and scrutinous care of the council.
A Big Business.
Few people are aware of the splen
did business \yhich Mr. L. Schmidt
has built up in Thomasville. He sold,
last month, one hundred and eight
dozen of bottled soda every day dur
ing the month, sold it by the case, in
addition to the large amount sold at
retail over his counters. Mr. Schmidt
came here a perfect stranger a few
months ago ; but he is a stranger no
longer, He is one of the driving,
pushing business men of the place.
By fair, square dealing, and prompt
ness, Mr. Schmidt has worked his way
to the front in his business—and he’ll
stay there. He ships his goods to
Albany, Camilla, Bainbridge, Monti
cello, Waycross, Valdosta, Quitman
and all intermediate points.
Some fear was expressed the other
night when the jail was on fire inside,
the structure would be burned,
ike yourselves easy ou that poiut,
.lemeu” said Col. Wright,chairman
prot ie boaul of County Commission-
“there is ample time to remove
prisoners without loss of life, and
county lias $5,000 insurance on
building.” The fact that
Tj county had been carryiug $5,000
U n 'lirance on the jail, which it has for
* lcs >hraJ years, shows that the County
® a Pmmissionem are guarding well the
ty’s interests, in this as well as
* matters.

Tim i
Resolutions.
At a meeting of Rescue Hook and
Ladder Company last night, the fol
lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted :
“Resolved, That a committee be
appointed to confer .with the City
Council in regard to the purchase of
an extension hook and ladder truck-
one that is equipped with all the latest
improvements, and to be drawn by
horses.
Hicks & Way Fail.
The firm of Hicks & Way,merchants
ol Patten, have failed. Their liabili
ties amount to about $5,55°, and their
assets foot up §4,715. The preferred
creditors are: The Bank ot Thomas
ville, H. R. Cooke & Bro., M. R.
Mallette and Mitchell & McIntyre.
Accidentally Shot Himself.
Laurence Bryant, colored, of Leon
county, Fla., accidentally shot himself
here early yesterday morning. He
was at the warehouse helping to unload
a bale cf cotton,which he had brought
to town, and in jumping from his wag
on, a pisiol in his side pocket, with
the muzzle pointing upwards, struck
against the wagon tie, discharging it,
and the bail entering his right arm,
and lodgine against the bone. Dr.
McIntosh, who attended him, says,
while the wound is severe, it is not
dangerous.
Reserved seats arc s.lling rapidly
for the minstrel show on Monday
night. Call and secure your seats, if
you wish desirable ones, lor they will
soon be growing scarce.
The hdics will not fail to be attract
ed by the advertisement of Mrs. Jen
nie Carroll. She is just back from
New York, with an elegant stock of
millinery, and various articles in that
line. Mrs. Carroll is catering most
successfully to the wants and tastes of
our ladies, and she does not hesitate
to let them Know through the columns
of her local paper, what she has to sell.
Her advertisements are fresh and
sparkling, and they are telling, for the
lady has, by a liberal use of printer’s
ink, built up within a comparatively
short period, a Splendid trade.
A Popular Thomasville Engineer.
Mr. E. S. Paine, an engineer on
the Savannah, Florida it Western
Railway, was the successful con
testant for a handsome badge, re
cently voted for at Waycross; the
proceeds and profits to go to Way-
cross opera house. The badge was
to be voted to the most popular engi
neer on the Savannah, Florida &
Western Railway. The fact that Mr.
Paine received the highest number
of votes, attests his popularity with
the B. L. E., as well as the public.
The latter entered into the contest
with great zeal. Mr. Paine was in
town the other day wearing his
badge. It was very much admired by
every one who saw it. The badge is
a very handsome one with the mono
gram, B. L. E., set in diamonds, sap
phires aud emeralds. Mr. Paine
received two hundred votes over and
above the highest number received
by any other engineer. This was a
rattling good majority.
The succulent sugar cane will soon
he squeezed iuto liquid sweetness.
Thomasville sent several represen
tatives to the confederate reunion in
Brooks county yesterday. Among
them.were Col. A. T. MacIntyre, Mr.
R. E. Mitchell, Charlie Stuart T. N.
Hopkins and others.
That was a graceful act of Mr.
Win. Miller yesterday, after the fire.
“Here is a check for twenty-five
dollars,” said Mr. Miller to Mayor
Hopkins, “I want you present it
to the firemen who worked so hard to
save my house and effects,”
There is nothing small about Mr.
Miller.
The article elsewhere headed : ‘ Fires
and Fire Department,” was written
before the fire of yesterday. The fire
only emphasizes the arguments used.
The department should be put on
an effective footing. Too much
property is at stake. ()ne of the
companies yesterday could not reach
the fire with their hose, and had to
couple on to the hose of another com
pany. And the hose used showed
numerous weak places and other de
fects.
We called attention yesterday to the
article taken from the Boston World,
ou the stock breeders’ fair. It should
have been stated in the notice, that
the arcicle was written by Professor A.
<j. Moody. Prof, Moody fully under
stands the importance of this move
ment, designed to encourage the breed
ing of better stock in Thomas county.
The gentleman mentioned wields a
ready pen, and we trust lie will use it
frequently in the interest of the asso
ciation, and of the county. Our peo
ple appreciate what he has already
said, and expect him to continue the
good work.
Mr. N. Iladdix takes great interest
in sending papers and other documents
to Western friends about Thomasville,
and in this matter Mr. Iladdix is
setting an example which should be
followed by others. I11 a recent letter
from his son in the West, speaking
about the Timks Entehpri.sk, which
Mr. Iladdix has been mailing to a
friend out West, his sou says; “Mr.
says he would rather read the
paper you send him, than to read the
Enquirer. Since he has been South
and seen that section, he takes great
interest in reading the paper. He
fell in love with Thomasville and the
people in it, and never gets tired of
talking about the place and people.”
