HICKS BURNS TO ^H.
/
Life in City Guard House
Last Thursday.
In the lire which totally destroy
the guard house on last Thursday
night, Charles Hicks, a weli known
young man was burned to death
before assistance could reach him
The city guard house was a small
brick building and was divided by
a partition, one side used for the
whites and the other for the col
ored. At the time of the tire only
two persons were within, Charlie
Hicks aud Jim ‘Lawson, a negro.
The liie caught on Hicks’ side,
supposed in an accidental manner
from a lighted cigarette or from a
tallow candle. The cries ot Hicks
brought to the scene two boys, who
as soon as an axe could be secured,
knocked in the door but too late to
render him assistance as the flames
had covered him. The flames had
not reached the side occupied by
Jim Lawson and he escaped with
out being hurt.
The fire occurred about twelve
o’clock, just at the hour when the
policemen change beats and Chief
Bohnnan had just left to wake Mr.
Meador, whe was to stav on duty
the rest of the night.
Hicks, the unfortunate young
man, is prominently connected
with some of the brat people in
Georgia and he was very popular
with the young men of Oxford,
where he was engaged as book¬
keeper for Mr. J. Z. Johnson. He
came to Oxford lrorn Boston, Ga.,
where he lived several years.
His cremated remains were re¬
moved Friday morning and were
iuterred in Oxford, Rev. R. G.
Smith officiating.
Awaiting Developements.
New York, Nov. 10.—Practical¬
ly all the bettors are williug to
await developements in the contest
between McClelland and Hearst.
As a matter of fact, showing the
uncertainty which permeated the
Wall street betting ring regarding
the results in the mayoralty fight,
bets were made that Hearst would
still be mayor of New YTirk in place
of McClellan. At the outset 5 to 1
was bet on McClellan being sus
tained in the recount, and later
some small bets were reported at
odds of 3 to 1 on the same result,
while later odds of 3 to 1 were of¬
fered on McClellan.
The post election betting wss a
novelty in Broad street, and the
bets made by W. W. Bagley, G.
B. Buchduau, C. R. Hammers
lough, Anness & Newnan and oth¬
ers attracted considerable atten
lion. W. W. Bagley laid $10,000
to $3,000 on McClellan being sus¬
tained in the recount with Anness
& Newnan, and Frederick Schwed
offered to lay $ 20,000 to $ 100,000
on Heat at.
It was stated that Schwed, who
made a book on the results of t he
electiou, won $ 20,000 and that he
was now willing to lay the entire
proceeds ou Hearst winning on the
recount.
Stakeholders of election bets in
the uptown hotel district have paid
all Jerome wagers, but they refus¬
ed positively to decide bets made
on Hearst and McClellan until af¬
ter the official canvass has been
made.
By the Hearst managers the
charge is made that many b ‘ <llJot3
strangely marked were counted for
Mayor McClelland and rejected tor
Mr Hear,.. The reject,on w. 8
based 011 the ground thntthey could
,he„ ascertain whether hired vo
ters had cast their ballots as agreed,
Hearst watchers brought to Mr.
Hearst many instances it was as
serted, where Hearst ball-ts mark
ed legitimately and just the same
„s many McClellan ballotsiwere
thrown out. Affidavits to t ~i'.$ e
feet were made by dozens of the
watchers, chiefly those
employed in the sixth and eight
«euth distrietts.
CIRCUS WOMAN HURT.

troyed- Loss $100,000.

The cause of the ire is unknown
though it is practhally conceded
that it must have originated in
one or two ways, ei :her from the
bon fire buitt on the campus last
night by the students ot the Uni¬
versity of Georgia in celebration
their victory over the Dsblonega
football team or from a spark from
the railway tracks.
The loss by the fire will aggre¬
gate $ 100,000 gross and the amount
of salvage vvili be about $ 20 , 000 ,
leaving the net loss about $80,000.
This loss is fully covered by in¬
surance.
