Fire 8MII Haglng 1 »> Night In Maron-s
Huilneia Center—Lon* *t That Time
About Two Hundred Thousand Dollars—
Partial Innuntm*.
Macon Is having hard luck. Laat
night the whole of the “triangular
block,” lying between Cotton Avenue,
Cherry and Second streets was complete
ly destroyed, and although the entire fire
department was at work upon the con-
H.igaration there was little or no progress
made in quelling the flames.
The blaze originated between 0 and 7
o’clock yesterday evening in the Chiua
Store, in the triangular block and soon
spread. The fire seemed |un:ontrolla-
ble and the next to go was White
Co.’s mammoth shoe emporium, and
next Geo. W. Greene & Co.’s big dry
▼oods and notions house. Everything
.ip in smoke and the department seemed
poweileng to even control It.
The roofs of the houses on Cherry
street and Cotton avenue were covered
with wet blankets, and this doubtlets
preserved thousands of dollars worth c f
property, as a perfect stream of sparks
and Ignited material continually arose
from the burning block and showered
over the city.
The loss as The Times-Recohdeb
goes to press is estimated at not under
$200,000, with a possibility of great in
crease in the amount.
OBITUARY.
“The Cletnencean Cue."
That much talked of play, “The
Clemenceau Case,” which was adapted
by William Fleron from the French dra
matization of Alexander Dumas’s strik
ing novel, will have its first production
at the opera house to-morrow night, and
the cast Includes Emma Bell and others
of the participants In the New York
Standard Theatre production. Those
who hare not read Alexander Dumas’s
novel msy be told that the Incldente of
the play grow out of the exploits of a
banished Russian countess, who has
come to Tatis, destitute, with her pretty
daughter, Ixa, and who is forced to live
In top-floor apartments until her daugh
ter made a conquest of Plerro Clemen
ceau a talented but not rich artist who
falls desperately In love with her. She
becomes bis wife, but soon finds a form
er lover, who was extremely wealthy.
The liaison is made known
the husband by n friend. A duel fol
lows, in which the lover Is wounded, and
the artist husband goes to Rome to
drown his trouble by devotion to his art
He falls in this, returns to Paris, de-
dares bis love to his wife, who says she
responds to his passion. Tho husband
finds that his wife has taken up witn a
duke, whereupon he kills her and is
ready to give himself up to the police
when the curtain falls. One scene In
the play which has been most talked
about is where Ixa poses as a model for
a statue which her husband is making.
The company is composed of well
known players, viz.: Gustavos I-evick,
Charles Kent, Jennie ReliTarth and
others of the original east. An
early application for reserved teats
should be made, as the andlenee Is sure
to be very large.
SHU Ahead!—Mrs. Belle Cole, the
singer, has made a favorable Impression
as a ooneert singer In London. The cel
ebrated Dr. Boll's Cough Syrup made a
favorable impression in London several
years ago.
Attention, Ladlti!
I have opened a lirst-olaia bakery at
Clarke’s old stand and respectfully so

“The Americas Tribune."
The Tmes-Rkcobder acknowledges
the receipt of a copy of the Amerious
Tribune, a weekly newspaper published
In this eity in the interests of the colored
race.
The sheet la welt edited and well
printed, and If It receives the support
from Its own people to which its merit
entitles it, the Tribune should become a
powerful factor in the upbuilding and
advancement of the negro in the south.
Sir. Walter Crl.p Died Last Night at Taa
Minutes Past Nine O'clock.
At ten minutes past nine o’clock last
night, Walter, the second son of Hon.
and Mrs. Cliaa. F. Crisp, died of typho-
malarla, in the eighteenth year of his
age.
Taken from earth in tlio very morning
of his bright young manhood, words fall
in an attempt to depict the sorrow that
has fallen upon the whole community,
for he was known by all and loved by
everyone who know him. Generous and
open-hearted among his friends, genial
and pi- asaut to all. In social Intercourse
light hearted and brilliant, but with that
kindly humor that left behind no hurt
or sting. Courageous, upright and with
a manly fearlessness of expression that
compelled respect and admiration, yet
with that tender delicacy of manner
which marks the true gentleman. There
is a sad vacancy in the social circle of
which he was a so prominent figure that
cannot bo filled.
To the grief-stricken parents and fam
ily is extended the sympathy of many
warm friends who now mourn with
them the loss of this bright yonng pres
ence.

Mr. T. A. Kluttz, the architect, in
forms a Times-Recokher representative
that the stone for the front of the new
postofflee building of Messrs, liarrold &
John.ion on Forsyth street lias been or
dered, and that it is only a question of a
short while before it will he ready for
occupancy.
The stone to be used has been ordered
from the quarries of Canton, Ga , than
which there are no better in tho south
tile material being especially adapted to
building purposes.
When this building is completed it
will rellect great credit upon the archi
tect and upon the city. Three stories in
height, with a lofty turret upon its east
ern end, and the ground floor front com
posed of two massive arches covering
the entire width.
The first floor will be devoted to the
post-office and bank, while the second,
with a stairway entrance from the east
ern side will be divided into well-lighted
and commodious offices.
The third flooor Is arranged for sleep-
tag apartments and will connect directly
with the Allen House on the west.
This structure will add greatly to the
part of the city In which it is erected,
and the entire stone front with Its carved
lintels and architraves will present an
appearance of richuess and beauty not
to be equaled by any edifice In South
west Georgia.
