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. ANOTHER EXPRESS ROBBERY. ANSLfiY.

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.

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 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. CAN’T DECIDE. A Ml<u»l**ip|>l Girl Who la rouble to Chootto lletweon Her Lover*. Siiubuta, Oct. 29.—This unusually quiet little town is overflowing with excitement. The question in every body's mouth is, "Which lover will she accept?” and the story runs in this wise: Miss Mumie Bass, one of oar prettiest girls, has more strings to her how than the average Mississippi girl. She has two devoted lovers, and lias promised to marry lvoth of them, first tweaking with one and accepting the other, and soon, for several times, changing her mind witliiu the past few months. Both young men are highly respectable. They are James Sherman, of Slmbnta. andwill Smith, of Alexandria, La. Wedding tickets were printed in favor of Sherman, but were withdrawn.

He Gives Up His Position on Aeeoont 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 his forced resignation, due to his unfor tunate financial embarrassments. Be sides his political office, he was the financial backer and treasurer of the Portland Cement company. E as tarn publishing companies, three of whom have gone into insolvency inside the past ten days, and the service has been much personalty upon Mr. Briggs, who is held rcs[K>nsible. His bondsmen, finding ont how he wus involved, de manded his resignation, but he held on until ndrised hr Mr. R ed to get Ont. Mr. Briggs can't be seen, and his bonds men decline to discuss how or in' what luanuer have hastened tlie downfall of ais cnr)iorutiaiis.

Saloi.i’i lii lb. M.rrluiuCK. Fish Commissioner E. B. Hodge <>1 Plymouth, says there are now won. salmon in the Merrimack river than ut any time since tlie Lawrence dam was built, forty years ago, and he thinks even further buck than that, in one day he caught twenty-two fine ones at Plymouth. They are, however, being mercilessly slaughtered by the dozen ut Garvin's Fails, at the months of the Suncook and Sonnxik rivers, and at other points. Speaking of tlie agreement existing between this state and Massachusetts, Colonel Hodge said it was generally thought that its provisions cost New Hampshire considerable money, while the fact is timt the matter has been so arranged that the general government has footed the bills and it lias not cost this state a cent. Moreover, it was this agreement with Massachusetts which alone made iioasible the establishment of the first fish hatchery in this state.— Concord (N. H.) Monitor. They Are Lins .Since Dead. Harrison G. SI: dor, while crossing the premises of George B. Haskell in Roch ester, a few days ago, found a land tur tle marked as follows, *'J. E., Oct. 21, 1818;” a C., 1818.” “W. 8.1837:’’ ”W. P., 1831;” 1839 was without a name. The turtle wus, without a doubt, full grown when first marked, and at this day is probably more than 130 years old. From its appearance os it harried off when liberated, it is good fur another eentnry. The initials “S. 0 ” and “W. 8.” were undoubtedly inscribed by Sam uel Clapp and William Sturtevant, who were young men and residents in the vicinity at the dates of 1818 and 1827.- New Bedford Standard. 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. Yon make a great mistake in copying English people when you go to London; they have euough of their own kind over there; they want something new and original, not a copy of-themselvea'*— New York Tribune.
