Unfortunate Brunswick.
On last Thursday about eleven
o’clock the B &W. depot in Bruns
wick caught fire from the spark of a j
! pile driver engine and the high wind
; that was blowing that day swept the
flames over a large part of the busi
ness portion of the city, destroying
about a half million dollars worth of
property.
The large depots of the Plant Sys
tem, Downing & Cos. aDd J. J. Lott
the Ocean Hotel, Briesenick’a foundry
Hoyt Hardware Cos. and many other
important houses were destroyed.
Most of those who sustained losses
were very well insured and some whol
ly so.
This is probably the most costly fire
Brunswick has ever had, and coming
as it does just when she was graceful
ly emerging from the ruins of the ep
idemic, it would seem that Prov
idence ha I placed a special ban on her
progress.
We predict, however that this is a
blessing in disguise to the dear old
city and we look for her to rise out of
the ashes with in are splendor than
she has known hitherto. Indeed, fires
are nearly always beneficial to a city
and Brunswick will be no exception ;
for she lias already begun to lay the
foundations for new and finer buildings
Brunswick has never suffered much
from fires, she lias lost much from
her epidemics, but more than all has
she groaned under th burden of her
politics. It may not he any of our
business, hut having formerly some
material interest in her affairs and be
ing now a spectator of he • progress,
vc are constrained to remark casually
that Brunswick has sutiered more
from her politics than with all her
other ailments combined. Wo have
seen “beel-ridden” people, hut Brun
swick is truly a political—ridden city.
It is graciously refreshing to note
that some of her young m.n are be
coming gabled with Hie yoke of tlira.ll
dom, under which they have
grown to manhood and it is
! safe to predict that Hannibal will
me et his Cato one of these days.
Brunswick is the prettiest city in
the world, and Hanover square at
present is an Aiilen of blissful delight.
The burnt district is a vast u nder
lies i of waste.
The Levy brothers are sprightly fel
lows and they are making the Call
a ‘•hummer.’’
“Ham” Harvey has a heart as big

, lam now snow hound 20 miles from

fair and warm, perfectly Spring-like,
wind to the south and the sun almost
as warm as a May day in Georgia. In

(lie snow in blinding sheets at storm
velocity. It is an old time blizzard and
is growing fiercer at this hour-9 P. M.
