THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY NOVEMBER 10, 1885.-TWELVE PAGES,
A COSTLY BLAZE.
The Wholesale Store of 8. T. Coleman & Co.
Discovered on Fire Last Night.
Last night at 10:15 o'clock precisely, the whole
sale dry goods store of 8. T. Coleman 4c Co.,
located on Third street, was discovered to be
fire.
The general alarm was sounded from the city
hall, ami in a short time the entire Are department
was on the scene and hard at work. It required
valiant effort to save the building, tor the fire was
hard to locate, and when found was stubborn and
equally aa hard to get under control.
A TeleoDAI'S reporter reached the scene early,
•otne time in advance of the crowd that soon
jammed the street between Cherry and Poplar.
Even then therefore many present who had gath
ered from arounu the immediate vicinity of the fire.
The street was dense with smoke, through which
many anxious and excited faocs could be seen.
In an instant, seemingly, the small number
had swelled into a frenzied multitude,
and confusion reigned supremo. Jt was worm/ than
difficult—it was almost impossible under the cir
cumstances. to obtain any connected or intelligent
statement as to bow the fire originated or who first
discovered. The reporter endeavored faithfully,
--however, and while what follows may not be oLbo-
lutely «mct, it Is ■* near ao u poratbU, eonalder.
Ing the UteneM of til# hour aud (ho lnteuan excite-
ment that prevailed.
About the time mentioned—10:15 o'clock—Mr, If.
31. Solomon, of the firm, was on his way to the de
pot, and in passing the store noticed through ths
urge plate-glass windows in front that two lights
that were kept constantly burning had been extin
guished. lie immediately suspected that some
thing was wrong, and while deliberating
upon what it might possibly be, the
night wetchman employed by the firm, Mr. O. W.
Cherry, came around to the front of the store,
where Mr. Solomon was standing. Both detected
the odo;* of burning paper and began a hurried ex
amination cf the atore and premises. When they
reached the rear of the building, which faces a
wooden shed under which dry goods boxes are
stored, they discovered smoke issuing from the base
ment, or packing department The alarm was
quickly given.
Mr. Cherry rushed to No. 5’s engine house and
the city hall. Both are near each other. At the
former place, be found Eugene Harris, Ollie Hedges
and Prank Turpin—all members of tho company,
enjoying a social chat He told them the building
was on fire, and to carry the reel down there M
quickly as possible. He then went to the city hall
and reported the fire to the night watchman on duty
there. Itwaa then that the general alarm was
aounded.
Messrs. Harris, Hodges and Turpin lost no time
In getting No. 5» reel to the scene. When they
Teached it, Mr. Solomon was at the front door of the
•ton* guarding it to prevent the crowd from effect
ing an entronce at that point In a short while
the other companies were on hand, and
a line of hose was laid from
the plug on the corner of Cherry and Third
streets, where No. 4*s steamer waa stationed. It
was laid through the alley between the building
ami the store of Stevens tc Bone to the wood-shed
in the rear of the store.
Home difficulty wss experienced at this point in
effecting an entrance to the basement. The door
wss barred on the inside, and did not yield readily
to the heavy blows of the sxe wielded by
the strong arm of Mr. Eugene Harris. At last it
was opened, when s dense volume of smoke rushed
out into the yard and almost stifled the crowd. The
room could not be penetrated. It was filled with
■moke, which issued through tho doorway in per
fect columns.
Several lanterns were brought into requisition, by
the aid of which the situation was somewhat re
lieved. It was even then bard to discover
exactly where the fire was. The smoke
wa* too dense. At lasst, fanned by the
draught, s bright, red gleam shot out to the right of
the entrance in the neighborhood of the elevator,
which passes through the center of the rear part of
the building. The flame was at last located, aud
cries for water were heard above the din.
The water did not come too soon. A steady
stream was turned on the opening from which the
flame Issued, aud played there until the fire could
no longer be seen. Tin smoke that con-
tinned to boll out, indicated plainly that the fire
-was not subdued. Chief Grace ordered his men to
lay another line of hose through the alley, and
play on the basement through one of the windows
en the alley. This was done, snd in a short time
the basement was waist deep in water. The water
that supplied this line of hose wss pumped by No.
l's steamer which was stationed at the intersection
of Third and Poplar streets.
While the above was going on smoke had begun
to issue from all the windows of the building and to
flU the street. It was soon evident that the front
door could be kept closed do longer. It was accord
ingly opened ana another line was laid through tho
store to the very heart of the fire, which by this
time bad crossed the basement floor and was leap
ing through the stairway about the
entry-desk on the first floor. As soon
aa the water was turned on at this point, the flames
subsided, and in a short time were completely under
control. By 11:30 o'clock, just one hour ami fifteen
minutes after the alarm was sounded, the fire was
completely subdued. By midnight the crowd had
dispersed, and order reigned once more on the
scene.
the losses
could not be estimated accurately last night. They
were variously placed by persons iu the crowd at
from f UMWu to $2u,ouo. Mr. W. H. Burden, of the
Arm. thinks f Ifl.ouo will cover all. and it is proba
ble that this estimate la not far wrong. The loss
consists principally in damage done to goods in the
basemeut and on the first floor, and to the building.
They are not of such a nature, however, as to inter-
rapt the business of the firm, which will be re
sumed m usual this morning.
The fire department did noble work )Mt night,

TBRHIHLR ACCIDENT.
Mr*. T. J. Ware Faints ami l ulls Into the
Fire—Mho is Frightfully llurned.
Yesterday morning the wife of Alderman T. J,
Warn barely escaped a terrible death.
Hhe waa the victim of an accident frightful in its
results, aud which will probably confine her to her
had for many weeks. The facts concerning the un
fortunate aud deeply regretted accident were ob
tained from Alderman Ware.
Mrs. Ware has not been in good health for some
time past Hhe has been subject to a spectaaof con-
wulaiotM which either caused great weakness, or
made her faint. On Wednesday aha bad a hunting
spell, aud yesterday morning waa still suffering
from Its effects.
Shortly before eight o'clock Mrs. Ware was seated
before the fire in her room at her husband's real
dence, on Oglethorpe street, dressing her infant
When it wse dressed it was given to its nurse. Mrs.
Ware retained her eeat in front of the fire, perhaps
watching the motions of her little girl, who wss
playing about the room.
At precisely eight o'clock a convulsion attacked
Mrs. Ware, causing her to faint. Of course, she lost
control of herself. Before her little girl observed
her condition, the unfortunate lady fell forward out
of the chair. Her head fell Into the grate, her neck
renting upon Urn front edge.
Hurtled by her mother's fall, the little girl turned
and beheld her dangerous position. Hhe ran
ncreauiug out of the room to the back porch, upon
which Alderman Ware’s mother wae standing. ‘

of her mother's frightful fall, and then ran bark
into the room, followed by Alderman Ware’s
mother. Together, the lady aud tho little girl
quickly dragged Mrs. Ware from the grate snd
placed her upon a bed. Information of the accident
was at one* sent to Alderman Ware, who wae at his
store near by. He hurried home, distressed almost
beyond measure. As soon as he saw the extent *
his wife's injuries, he sent for l>r. D. W. Ha
■sand.
Dr. Hammond responded promptly to the sum
moos. He administered an opiate to Mrs. Ware, who
■offered the keenest agony, and then made an exam
tantiou of her head.
UmW« were discovered. The worst were
■poo her forehead snd neck. The burn oa her
week. which was immediately under the chin, was
the most serious. Dr. Hammond examined it care-
felly, hut declined to express an opinion about it
until he could make another examination under
favorable circumstances. He admitted, however,
that Mrs. Ware's injuries were very serious,
The news of Mrs. Ware's misfortune will be
ceived with general and deep regret, and to Ahlerman
Ware everybody's sympathies will be extended.
Notwithstanding the serious nature of her inju
ries, it is earnestly hoped that under the skilful care
of her physician, Mrs. Ware will yet completely re-
TELEGRAPH liY PLAY. THE STATE FAIR. of U Mil in advaoce of H. but In the early deal.
Life Is full of odd incidents. If one would take
the trouble to compile them they would make an
interesting chapter. A friend of mine told me yes
terday s story that illustrates how sometimes early
impressions fasten themselves upon us, sad tintp
all our future actions.
About fifty yean ago, said he, there came to Sa
vannah two young men. They hailed from Yaukec-
doin. and were “prospecting," after s manner. If
they liked the couutry. and found a place to suit
them, it waa their intention to locate in tho Sunny
H.utli. Macon waa their objective point.
«Jn those days, I have been told, there were no
such things as railroads in Georgia, snd, conse
quently, ail travei was done by stage. Now, when
our Yankee friends reached Savannah, it happened
that they were very much plsssid with what they
saw. They knew nothing of the South, except by
tradition, and were wholly unprepared for the reve
lation spread out beforo them. The historian’s
brush had given no suggestion in the picture left
upon the mental canvass of the balmy Southern
climate, the snowy cotton fields, the wbzuvea lined
with steamers from every port, darkies working
away at them, softening the while their labor with
snatches of plaintive plantation melodies,
the* sun beaming by day in a cloudless sky, the
stars bedecking at night, a quiet city, or a soft
dreamy landscape, aud above all a prosperous and
contented people. Our friends were «nchanted
with the novelty, perhaps even morn because it
took the shape of a pleasant surprise. They forgot
for a time their mission, and lingered in Savannah
exploring scenes which had never found a place
even jn their dreamy legends. In fact, they lingered
until after the stage departed, aud when they final
ly decided to leave, it was a problem how they
mould do 00. It was solved this way:
By chance there were two Macon gentlemen in
Savannah, who had driven to the city iu their bug
gies, aud were about to leave the same way. .Our
Yankee friends heard of them, sought and found
them, told them the predicament they were in, and
besought of them the privilege of accompanying
them to Macon. The average Southerner, then,
did not love the average Yankee with tho love of a
brother: snd. as the two Maconites were average
Southerners, who estimated the strangers as aver
age Yankees, there waa a painful hesitation. Fin-
ally, after much persuasion, they consented to car
ry the Yankee boys along with them, and each hav
ing taken oue in hi* buggy, the journey towards
Macon was begun.
Tho Yankee boys did not prove agreeable compan
ions. They soon wearied of the novelty of the
scenes through which they passed, and began to
criticise severely everything that came iu view.
Not an object escaped their scalping knife.
The weapon waa applied unmercifully. It Is not
difficult to imagine the effect it had upon the South
ern nature. It soon cut into tho quick. Nothing
was said, however, by either for some time. At
last, when the rear buggy drove up to within speak
ing distance of tho Lout one. tho Macouito iu the
latter stopi>ed hia horse and turning around, called
out to his friend behind him :
“I say, Bill, how's that blamed Yankee behaving
bock there ?”
“Oh," replied Bill in a tone of utmost disgust,
“he’s cuasfn’ everything that comes along,"
“Well, I propose," said No. 1, “to dump ’em out
in the road, right here, and let 'em get to Macon the
best they know how.”
The proposition was put snd carried unanimous
ly, much to tho dismay of the Yankees, who were
ejected bodily In much quicker time than the nar
rative has consumed. Tho seriousness of the situ
ation may bo imagined when it ia known that the
point of ejection wa* the swamp near Davlsboro,
about seventy-five miles from the city.
The two Maconites have long since passed away.
The Yankee boys are still living, and are among our
old and respected citizens; and even now, although
half a century, with varyiug fortune has been in
terposed between the preseut snd that time, aud the
graves of the Southerners are covered with moss,
Davlsboro has not beenlforgotteu. and there still ex
ists between the families a coolness that does not
temper with time.
Yes, life is full of odd incidents, and early im
pressions very frequently tinge all our future ac*
A CHINESE ROW.
Sam Lee nnd Mo Tuug III Appeal to tho
Courts to Settle u Dispute.
A few days ago, the TcLE/mam announced that
8am Lee, the Chinaman had sold hu laundry to two
of bis cousins. Mo Yung, nnd Mo Tnng Hi. This
waa the fact, and after disposing of his property,
Sam Lae announced his Intention of returning to
China in search of a wife.
Subsequent developments show that Sam Lee had
no intention of seeking a wife, but n.eroly lucent to
dispose of his laundry for a good price.
WUeu he made the sale to Mo Yuug and Mo Tnng
HI he agreed not to ojien another laumlry in Ma
con. Instead of carrying out his agreement, be
went to Mr. J. B. Williams, proprietor of tho Com
mercial Hotel and secured from him the refusal of
the basement of that building. Sam Lee said that
he wanted the basement for the purpose of opening
therein s new laundry. He agreed to pay Mr. Wil
liams tweuty-flve dollars per month rent, iu ad
vance.
After completing his arrangements with Mr. Wil-
Hams, Sam Lee went to Atlanta and spent two
days.
In the meantime. Mo Yung and Mo Tnng III. who
had paid Ham Lee three hundred dollars for his
lauudry next to the Lanier House, heard of his bar

him.

THE STATE FAIR.
Capt. 11. K. Park Hushes to tlio Defence of
Its .Managers.
Editors Telegraph : Your editorial of Wednes
day “to the merchants of Macon" surprised the
writer very much, if it did not the clever gentlemen
to whom it was addressed. I have read it and re
read 11 and have decided to ask you to allow me to
sav a few words in reply.
Y.)U state that the Htate fair held last week, under
the auspices of the Georgia Stato Agricultural So
ciety, “was poor in every department" A very
sweeping charge, and one with which many judges
among the visitors do not agree. Among others,
let me quote the foUowing:
D. U. Jenkins, Esq., editor Jersey Bulletin, In
dianapolis, Ind.. one of the expert judges of the
Jersey cattle show, stated that he had been attend
ing State and county fairs West and East, for the
past ten years, and our recent fair “was the best in
variety, quality and quantity ho had seen any
where." Colonel G. H. Yancy expressed concur
rence.
Governor McDaniel said he “had never before
seen so fine au exhibit or so orderly a crowd," aud
that he “would remain over a secoud dr.y to more
thoroughly examine the numerous displays." Ho
said Le was proud of the entire show.
Judge J. L. Henderson, Htate Commissioner of
Agriculture, and chairman of the committee of
judges of the agricultural entries, is reported in to
day’s Constitution as saying that “the Htate fair
this year waa a grand success, better than it has
been in many years.” Hon. Wick Thayer of New
ton, also one of the judges, remarked that “Holton
Farmers' Club alone exhibited enough in variety
aud quantity to splendidly illustrate Georgia’s farm
products."
General Phil Cook said it wss the finest show of
the kind he had ever seen.
Geu. J. 8. Stewart, or Oxford, spent two days in
critical examination, aud said the displays ex
pelled any previous Georgia State fairs.
Mr. Ktagg, the traveling spent of the New Orleans
exposition, said tho agricultural exhibit was tho
best of any State ho had ever seen.
Col. L. M, Lamar and Mr. John G. Brown, of Pu
laski county, pronounced It the beat managed fair
and finest displays they had ever seen iu Georgia.
W. G. Whidby, of the Atlanta Journal declared he
had attended the fair for four day*, and it wa* tho
best he ever saw.
Col. B. W. Frobel chief engineer of Macon and
Covington railroad, said tho fair was a success in
display and attendance.
Mr. P. J. Berckmans, of Augusta, said it was a
decided success.
Matt O'Brien, one of O’FarreU's detectives, em
ployed on the grounds, writes that “the superin
tendent and secretary are men who understand
their business aud attend to It strictly."
Mrs. Col. Thomas Hardeman and other ladles,
both visitors and resident, told the superintendent
that they regarded the display in every department
as unusually fine.
Similar complin;
plied, but I forbea.. „ „
that very many good people differ from statements
made in your editorial.
Burl add sorno facts. The records show there
were 152 entries of horses for premiums sml 68 rare
horses on the grounds, making a total of 210 horoe*.
Superintendent Hollis erected at his own expense
(the city council declining any assistance) eighty-
seven new stalls for horses and remodelled forty
more stalls. He erected one hundred and forty-
four now stalls for cattle at the society's expense
and at no cost to Macon.
There were one hundred and sixty-eight entries
of Jerseys, Devons, Holatcins, Ayrshlrcs, atnl
grades, and over thirty xegiatered Jerseys were
sold, attracting neat attention, and establish in g
permanent annual sales here, provided Macon gets
the fair in future.
Agricultural or Premium Hall was crammed and
jammed with tho splendid displays of agricultural
products, and the praise of all the visitors wero
loud concerning them. Four-fifths of the hugh
building were crowded with the agricultural ex
hibits of Holton Farmers' Club,I of Bibb county,
snd those from Monroe. Talbot, Rockdale, Greene,
Dade and Lee, made through enterprising individ
uals. The farm display of Mr. Wadley alone far
excelled any of the superb exhibits made at the At
lanta cotton exposition.
The displays In the Floral Hall have been super
intended by Dr. Cary for over ten fairs, and he
openly boasted that the present year's exhibit wss
greater and better than at any previous fair.
The above. It seems to me, answers your state
ments that the fai 'rwaapoor iu every department,"
and "the exhibits far below even the results ob
tained in former years."
You state that “the crowd waa illy accommodated
and totally unprotected, robberies being commit
ted in open daylight, etc." The hotels aud board
ing houses are responsible for the “ill accommoda
tions," surely not the State Agricultural Society, or
fair management And the city police are the par
ties to protect visitors from robberies, not the
farmers who compose tho fair authorities. Nearly
aU the robberies committed wero outside the fair
grounds. Certainly you cannot hold the fair offi
cers responsible for the presence and thefts of the
pickpockets.
Without combatting your proposition to Macon
merchants to "organize a fair association of their
own, offer large premiums, etc,” I would merely
cite those sensible sud prudent merchants to the
exsmplo of such efforts made by Atlanta, with the
wealthy and liberal W. B. Cox, as ita president,
Columbus, Savannah. Augusta, Americus, Thomas*
ville, Albany, Handersville, Forsyth, LaGrange,
aud other Georgia towns, all of which
have utterly failed. The fairs si
Brunswick, Sparta and Holton are the only onc'i
regularly held in Georgia at this time. The efforts
of merchants in our cities have invariably failed.
Fanners aud agricultural societies are tbs ones to
conduct H*ats fairs, and, though they may have
some inefficient superintendents of departments,
of U and an advance of ft, but in the early deal,
ings there was a general decline, followed by a re
action during which, in many cases, the highest
prices of the day were made, while in the others
the opening quotations were the best figures
reached. For s time after midday the market was
steady, thou developed increased activity, but dur
ing the last hour fluctuations were within very nar
row limits and quotations were about steady until
the close, when they yielded small fractions, and
the market closed heavy. The special feature of
the day’* operations was the strength developed iu
Union Pacific, which was the bull card of the day.
The stock opened with au advance 59*,. rose to 01 ^
and, after several further changes closed at
00*,, an advance of 1‘a. The rest of the market
is from X to X lower, St. Paul and Western Union
showing the heaviest net decline. It is *aid Uic-ie i*
a very bitter feeling existing between tho Baltimore
and Ohio and the Western Union, aud it is semi
officially stated there is not the slightest foundation
for tho rumors that have been circulated for some
days past of a compromise between the companies.

tnen, and are really the proper parties to control
Htate fairs. The farmers snd their wives aud child
ren largely constltue tho crowd In attendance, and
they are the proper directors and managers of the
State fairs. Macon has largely profited by these
fain, and 1 believe her merchants are rilling to
have the farmers of Georgia continue to manage tbe
Georgia farmer’s fairs.

To lie Investigated.
There U likely to be a atlr in the neighborhood
of certain officials of the recent State fair.
It seems that tbe executive committee of the
State Agricultural Society waa not satisfied with tho
way the sales of tickets and the collections at the
park gates were conducted. Indeed. It is openly
charged that the receipts were, to some extent,
frittered away. This information waa obtained
last night from a prominent official of the society,
At a meeting of the executive committee held re
cently, the matter waa thoroughly discussed, and a
resolution to investigate was adopted. President
Livingston appointed a committee to conduct The
investigation, and it Is understood that it will be
gin Its work at once.
The result of the investigation will be published.
Bibb Superior Court Adjourned,
Judge Simmons adjourned Bibb Superior Coart

Tbe adjournment waa made In order to allow

make an examination of the county affairs, also of
several other important matters. A member said

Grain and Provision*.
Chicago, November 9.—The temper of the wheat
market waa extremely dull duriug tiio first hour to
day, with active trading. The demand was very
urgent for a time, but became leaa active as the day
advanced, and during the middlo session ran along
quietly at medium figures. Tbe starting price was
about 88 for December, which *as the lowest for
the day, and then advanced to 88*4, But with only a
few sales at the outside figure, fell hack slowly to
88*4, rose again to 88*4, fell back to 88 and closed on
the regular board at 88H to 88)4. Cables quoted
easy foreign markets at unchanged prices. Tbe
receipts here are light, aud were lighter at all pri
mary points than they w ere the same day one week
ago. The estimates aa to the visible sopply vailed
coiiHiderMbly, but It was predicted that the Chicago
statement would show au increase of from friO.CMi
to l.uoo.ooo bushels. Tho hesitancy to trade during
the latter half of the session waa attributed to a de
sire to await tho publication of the visible supply
statement, in the absonee of any outside news to
affect the course of values. There was renewed and
iuereadng interest in corn speculation. The demand
for cash corn was again very urgent, forcing tbe
price up again, to 46*4, tho market closing at 45.
November option rose to 42)4. hot foil back again to
42*4 on the regular board. The fesllug waa very
strong again in the afternoon, prices advancing
again to nearly outside figures. The receipts were
exceptionally light, and owing to the small quantity
in store here, shorts were nervons and Inclined to
cover. Oats ruled strong. May advancing at one
time to 31, but fell back and closed at30H, ad
vancing *4 on the afternoon board. Provisions
again very firm, January pork advancing to $9.70
bnt closed 15c. lower in the latest trading.
