LOSS *100,000
Macon Union Depot Horned Yeeterday
Moraine.
Macon, Ga., October 29.—'The union
depot, one of the oldeat brick atructurcs
In Macon, was burned to tbe ground thia
morning. Only tbe ahell of the front
part of the building remains standing.
At 4 o’clock this morning the whole
city was aroused by tbe whistling of
railway ongines and tbe clanging of
bells. The Are alarm rang out from sev
eral boxes, and almost at the same mo
ment tbe flames sprang up and lit the
whole lower portion of the city.
The fire department, with four en
gines and powerful streams of water,
were on tbe spot in a few minutes, but
It was Impossible to save the building.
The Are originated in tbe news and
luneb stand belonging to T. C. Parker,
where Henry Sloan, a clerk, was at
tempting to light a coal fire in the front
oflicewlth kerosene.
The first notification received by the
officers was when they saw Sloan rush
ing through the car-shed enveloped in
flames and screaming for help.
Tbe alarm was turned in and assist
ance given to Sloan, who is terribly
burned and may die.
The total loss is (100,000 for the rail'
road. Parker loses (8,000 with (3,000
insurance. The railroad is Insured for
(33,000 with a New York company.
One hundred and fifty pieces of hag-
gage were destroyed on the inspection
sleeper.
The loss there is about (8,000 and is
covered.
All tickets and money from the sales
of tickets since 8 o'clock last night can
bo counted among tho losses.
Four people in the office narrowly es
caped burning.
Train No. 3 from Savannah had just
come in when the fire broke out and just
pulled out in time.
Tho depot will probably be rebuilt
at once, but there is some talk about
litigation over tbe present site, and as it
is not considered a suitable location
there may be some delay.
SEVEN SERIOUSLY HURT.
WILL Ma.CE NO REPARATION.
Chill Makei a Reply to Egan’s Da-
inaniU la Strong Language.
Santiago, Oct. 29.—The Chilian gov-
irnment lias replied to Minister Egan’s
demand for an explanation of the recent
attack upon American sailors. The
reply is couched in very strong lan
guage and it is understood that it
amounts to a refusal to accept the re
sponsibility of the affair. The state
department at Washington has been
notified. Minister Egan, Commauder
Schley and Consul McCrary are con-
salting together, and it is thought that
decisive action will be taken soon. Tbe
state department’s orders in reference
to the matter are very strong. The in-
tendente of Valparaiso has refused to
guarantee the safety of market boats
coming to that city early in tlae morn
ing from the United States warship
Baltimore, or theBafetyof tile officers
of that vessel coming ashore at night.
There is practically a boycott on tile
Baltimore. No American sailor is al
lowed ashore. Great excitement has
been caused here by the report that the
Chilian legation !n Washington has
Deeti attacked.

The Horrible Death of > Young Woman
In Virginia.
Lynciibi'ko, Oct. 29.—A resident of
this city who has just returned from a
visit to Moutgouery county, gives the
folowing particulars of the horrible
death of a young lady named Likens,
near Hhuwsville: Mira Likens, who re
sides a few miles south of Shawsville,
went out to gather berries on the
mountain side near her home about 10
o’clock in tbe Burning. Ou her not
returning by dinner time the sus
picions of the family were aroused,
and a party wus formed to go in searoh
of her. After being out some time a
large bear was discovered a few miles
from her home, perched upon one of
the lower branches of a large tree,
while tlie outlines of a woman could be
indistinctly observed on the ground.
One of the party fired on brum, who
dropped dead to the ground. On ar
riving at fits base of the tree where tho
bear had been killed, the body of Mias
Likens was found. It was terribly mu
tilated, ami every evidence went to
show that the unfortunate victim had
first been squeezed to death by the
bear, aud then partly devoured.

deputies, Mulvnny and Hamilton, with

York obtained against tbe firm of Har
dy, Coles & Co. of 141 Maiden lane, who

sheriffs officers discovered in the Maiden
lane store tour cut ire articulated skele
tons, eight skulls and innumerable bones
and other portious of anatomy, which
they were very chary in handling. The
replevin calls for a lot more of skeie-
tone, hut they have not yet been found.

made off with it. The safe is supposed
to have contained a large amount of
money. There is no clue to the rob
bers.
WAR NOT PROBABLE.
The Emperor or Germany Is Said to
Deatro Peaee.
Paris. Oct. 29.—Jules Simon, u uis-
distinguislied French statesman and
political economist, and former chief of
Republicans, m an interview said he
did not think war was probable. He
added: "While I was in Berlin ns a
delegate to the international labor con
gress Emperor William toid me that-be
desired peace and the tone ill which he
said so left no doubt in my mind that
ha was sincere. The czar also wants
peace, and France will not be the nation
to commence hostilities in Europe. ” M.
Simon declined to venture an opinion
whether or not the Frunco-Rnssiaii en
tente included an agreement to expel
England from Egypt. In this connec
tion M. Simon eaiil he did not credit
Russia witli having uny designs on In
dia, but held that tlie Russian expan
sion in Asiu was only natural.

Siiubuta, Oct. 29.—This unusually

two devoted lovers, and lias promised

young men are highly respectable.

of Financial Trouble.
Portland, Me., Oct. 29.—If there is
any one man in this state to whom Tom
Reed is indebted for his continued seat
in congress, it is his crony aud political
henchman, Herbert G. Briggs, the Re
publican postmaster at Portland. In
this podtioii, coupled with that of
ohairman of tlie Republican city and
couuty committee, he wielded great in
fluence, whicli bus been dissipated by

Harrison G. SI: dor, while crossing the
premises of George B. Haskell in Roch

tle marked as follows, *'J. E., Oct. 21,
1818;” a C., 1818.” “W. 8.1837:’’ ”W.

The turtle wus, without a doubt, full

tVImt Englishmen Want.
An American woman who had married
an Englishman of high rank returned
home for a visit after neonple of years’ ex
perience in her adopted country. “How
very odd,” said one of her acquaintances,
“that Ludy C has not become Angli
cized in the least; she is more American
than ever.” The remark repeated to tlie
newly made peeress was received with
an appreciative smile.
I am so glad,” she exclaimed. “I am
naturally imitative, yon know, and I
was so afraid I might lose what I con
sider my distinction. You people don't
understand over here,” she went on.
