ATLANTA, GA.. May 8.—(Special)
—One entire block near the Union
station, including the Terminal Ho
tel. was destroyed by fire this morn,
ing, the total loss In this and other
blocks being placed at 81,000,000. The
block which was the chief sufferer
was bounded by Madison avenue, Mit
chell. Forsyth apd Nelson streets,
Before the flames were under con
trol the Are had eaten its way almost
to Whitehall street. The Are was due
to a cross wire, as Indicated by t
investigation after the catastrophe.
The firemen responded promptly to
the alarm, but were powerless for
the first hour on ‘ account of a' defi
cient water pressure and a stiff breeze
blowing from the northwest. Later
their work wag effective in prevent
ing the spread of the flames and in
extinguishing the buildings not too
far gone.
Though the guests of the Terminal
hotel were forced to flee for their
lives, there were' no fatalities. A
number of persons were slightly in
jured.
Mr. S. M. Inman owned many of
the buildings destroyed. After the
Are he stated that his losses would
be practically covered by Insurance.
He did not know the extent of his
individual losses.
A large crowd quickly gathered,
which grew as the Are progressed.
The police were fully able to cope
with the situation and maintain the
Are lines.
The Arc started about 3:45 a. m„ In
the third story of the four-story build
ing on Madison avenue, corner of
Nelson street, and occupied by the
Schleslnger-Meyer Baking Co., the
building extending through half the
block to Forsyth street.
A burst of flames from the windows
was the first warning given.
In half an hour the Schlesinger
building was in ruins, and the Termi
nal hotel, a half-block away, was j
blazing brightly, while the four-story
building between the baking factory
and hotel was In flames. At 5 o’clock
the hotel guests were hurried from
their rooms, as it was seen that the
hotel was doomed. In another hour
the hotel had totally collapsed, with
the site a glowing mass of debris. In
one of the buildings were stored cra-
trldges, and when these began to ex
plode the firemen drove the onlookers
Into the Terminal Station, 600 yards
away.
Besides the Terminal hotel, the
Marlon hotel annex qnd the , Child's
hotel, a four-story building) on For
syth street, were practically destroy,
ed. A dozen other buildings of more
or less prominence were also Includ
ed in. the conflagration. Not a brick
was left on the foundation of the
hotel. . "
Nearly every building from the
Marion hotel annex to Curtis Drug
store on Forsyth street was damag
ed more or lesB. The top story of a
three-story building at No. 48 Madi
son avenue was badly damaged.
About 7 o'clock when the blaze
seemed pretty well under control, the
Inman building, at the corner of
Mitchell and Forsyth streets, and
extending to Nelson, caught Are, and
was badly damaged. In this building
was the branch of the Central Bank
& Trust Co., wtich was badly damag.

flve-story building on Mitchell
street. In which was the wholesale
department of the McClure Ten Cent
store, was also burned.
At 7:30 a. m. the firemen announc
ed that the Are was under control, but
throughout the day and Into the night
streams of water were played on the
ruins.
The losses have been estimated as
follows:
Terminal Hotel. 8100,000.

Small Talk.
Is this papa’s little boy or m;

Dunno; the Judge hasn't decided
yet."—l'm-k.
With only two candidates to be
voted for In the gubernatorial prim
ary, the Interest Is much more acute
than In 1906, when there were five
gubernatorial candidates, besides a
hot congressional race to further com
plicate matters.
In the primary in 1906, which was
held on August 22, tbe following vote
was polled for Governor In Sumter:
Smith 704; Howell 493; Russell 63;
Estill 16, J. M. Smith 1. A total of
1,277.
In Americus the vote was: Smltht
394; Howell 337; Estill 16; Rusaelll
38; J. M. Smith 1.
Hoke SmlthV; majority in Americas-
was 2 votes, and In the whole coun
ty 135 votes.
Tho registration two years ago
was nearly 2,COO, and this year it i:;
about the same. But In view of tho
Interest taken In the race It is regard
ed as probable that the vote on June
4 will he larger than In 1906.
Should the Joe Brown side hold all
of the opposition to Gov. Smith wl
was manifested two years ago,
vote in Americus would bo
equally divided. But to carry
county something better than
would have to be done. Much w
pend on the views of tho voters
excess of the 1,277 polled two years
ago In the gubernatorial race.
