The fire was discovered about 1:30 o’clock Sunday morning, In a warehouse on Ogle flfeorpe, where a quantity of oil and other combustible material was stored. The flames made rapid pr. grc?s, burning the building In which It originated and all the contiguous 3&£E5«s on both sides of the street The wind seemed to change, and all the houses on Monk Street, east of Oglethorpe and north on Grant street, were consumed.

Came After hie Bride. Mr. John T. Dwyer, of Savannah, was in the mlty yesterday. Mr. Dwyer Is the hero of a liule romance which culminated In Macon yesterday morning, two weeks ago. He lived la SaTann&h and fell in love with a young lady who is known to many friends in Macon sw Miss Slssie Frost. The young lady had given her hand (though not her heart as the •equel proved) to another young man named Folds. The engagement had been announced, as is the enstom, in the Catholic Church three •onhocutive Sundays, and on Tuesday, two •weeks ago to-day, the marriage was to be cel* •brated. On Bucday afternoon His* Frost went to a fun* ral, accompanied by Mr Folds They returned late Jn the tflcrnoon. and be fore the young man took leave of him. Capt.

He makes a flying trip to Oxford and Ath- -xs, in both of which places ho feels a per sonal interest and where loving hearts will vie with each other in doing him honor”. In closing our Interview with Dr. Bass, that gentleman said: “Such unselfish benefactors as George L Seney do not often Jive, and it is a Christian privilege aud duty to recognize and honor tnem. Georgians, especially Geor gia women, will sincerely unite in praying the richest benedictions of heaven upon his honored nime, who has done so much for them.” S MMng during the few days ■o banked i*e-vtly on And It is somewhat strange that y«u i all the winners but no losers, A Pants Thief.
