Atlanta, Dec. 26.— A disastrous Ore
occurred In the alables of Harper
Bros, and Ragsdale & Carlisle, near
the .coroner of Marietta-and. Emmett
streets, and not far from the Union
Stock Yards, In which 400 mules mid
100 horses were burned to death and
other valuable property lost.
It la believed a gang of burglars,
while blowing open a safe, overturn
ed a lamp and caused the conflagra
tion. The safe was found open and
showed every Indication of having
Jen blown open with dynamite.
The total loss is said to be about
$100,000, with Insurance ot a little
over half that amount.
The Are was first • discovered short
ly after 4 o'clock In the morning, and
an alarm sen! in. The lire depart
ment reached the acene as quickly
as possible^ but could do little as not
much winter was In easy reach and
the. Are had 'gained too much head
W.
The terrified mules and horses made
frantic efforts to get out of tbe burn'
lng building but their egress was
cut off unless they dashed through tbe
flatries.
R. I,. Baynes, night watchman,-
was feeding the stock In tbe base
ment of the stables whfen tbe Are
started. He was unabl eto open the
rear door to let the horses end mules
out, and even had he done this, It Is
doubtful, it is said, if any ot tbe
trlghtoned stock could have been drlv-
n through the gates.
The watchman says he heard no
niblSe |n the office, but be was three
or four hundred feet away and where
muffled explosion could not have
been heard by him.
Harper Bros, estimate the loss at
about $160,000. The mule# and

Macon. Ga., Dec. 26.—Tho discov
ery’ of a laudanum bottle under the

dead In the Stewart hotel revealed the
fact that death followed from his
swallowing fully half an ounce of the
drug.
Clerk W. W. Thompson, on break
ing open tbe door, saw the man up
on the bed and made an examination
of him. Later tho bottle was dlscov-
ered, and, although there was noth
ing left other than this to tell the
aad story of how the man came to
hie death, the evidence woe taken
as sufficient to establish the suicide
theory.
He was a traveling representative
of the Tennessee Copper company,
and Just returned off the road to spend
tbe holidays with his family at the
home on Walnut street.
Despondency marked every move
ment of tbe man before be entered
