At half past one o’clock yesterday
morning tho alarm of fire was sounded
and the sleeping inhabitants of the
central portion the city were aroused
to find'the Illinois House, corner
Dawson street and Remington avenue,
on fire. The department responded
and soon a number of hose were at
taclied to the plugs, but from some
cause, not yet ascertained, the force
of watey wa3 too weak to do much
service. Tho fire was then confined
to the kitchen, where it first started,
and could have been extinguished
had the pressure of the water in the
mains been sufficient. By the time
tho steamer was gotten in position-
anil at work the flames had spread
to the main buildiug and was beyond
ci.utrn], A strong wind prevailed
aud the house being wood tho fire did
its work rapidly. The department
was able to save adjacent buildings
and only the Illinois House was des
troyed. The building was a two
story one, comparatively new, and
rim by Mr. Dickerson as a private
boarding house, Mr. Dickerson was
a native of Illinois, and came to
Thomasvilio some five years ago in
search of health. Finding that the
climate suited him, he cast his lot
with our people, and purchased and
opened a boarding house Success
crowned his enterprise and for sever
al * seasons the Illinois House has
ranked with our best private houses
The destruction of the house just at
tho opening of the season, which
promises so favorably,is a serious mis
fortune to the proprietor and a source
of regret not only by his personal
friends, but the community generally.
The family was kindly offered a home
at Mr. T. C. Mitchell’s residence,"oil
tho opposite corner, and aie tempo
rarily located there. Mr. Dickerson
was insured as follows : * 83,000 on
building and 8500 on furniture in
the Phoenix, of Hartford, Smith and
Montgomery, agents. The building
was entirely destroyed, but a good
position of the furniture was saved.

“Lost in New York.’’
The universal verdict of a large
house last night was that “Lost in
New York” is a better drama than
“The Dark Secret.” The steam fer
ryboat is an exact fac-smilc of those
that ply between New York and Jer
sey City, and as it came in and took
on its load of passengers, carried them
off, crossing the river with the bridge
in the distance it presented one ot the
prettiest stage pictures and one of the
finest stage effects we have ever seen.
The plot is well developed. The act
ing is very fine indeed. Louie Alters
as Jennie Wilson, the watf, was greeted
with wide-spread applause. The play
is intensely realistic, the scenery is ex
ceedingly fine, and “Lost in New
York” is a worthy rival of “The Dark
Secret.” It will be repeated to night.

novel mechanical effects, including a

French word, we cannot afford to
have it Americanized in any such

It seems certain now that Jay Gould
has acquired a large interest in the
Central Railroad of Georgia, and that
he and his Son George will go on the
board of Directors very soon. It also
seems probable that Gen. E. P. Al
exander will go out of the Presidency
of the road, but nobody is mentioned
as his successor. It is expected that
Gould will bring much of the freight
of his western road over the Central
for New York.
