A KTIRMIU) MASK.
The Dwrlltnn* if Rln. A. B. AlkUn
KHtl Mr. A. A. Knmttrr Burned.
The town was alarmed by the clang-
clang of the big tire bell at about X
o’clock a. m. Tuesday, and those who
turned out witnessed the most de
structive Are that we have had in Al
bany for some time.
The dwellings of Mrs. A. K. Atkin
son and Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Rumney
were destroyed.
These houses stood together on Pine
street, between Washington and Jaok-
son, in the very heart of the oity, and
made a Are that imperiled a good deal
of other property for a time.
The Are originated in the stove room
of Mrs. Atkinson’s premises, and soon
spread to the main building and to
Mr. Rumney’s house adjoining.
The main buildings were of brick,
but nil the attachments and outhouses
were of wood. The Hremen found it
diAloult to reach the Are alter it got
into the main buildings, and both
houses were pretty well gutted. 11 y
hard and well directed work
on the part of the department, the
tailor shop of Mr. Rumney. which
stood out. some tlfteen feet from his
house, was saved, but nothing else on
his lot or Mrs. Atkinson’s escaped.
Mrs. Atkinson had $2,000 insurance
on her dwelling and attachments, and
$500 on furniture, with Molntosh &
Lockett, and the loss falls upon the
Northern Assurance Company.
Mr. Rumney had no insurance at all.
It took good work upon the part of
the lire department to save the old
oity market building now used by
Eagle No. 2 and Lightning llook and
Ladder companies. It stood only a
few feet from the outhouses in the
renr of Mr. Rumney's dwelling.
Godwin & Son’s livery stable, aoross
Pine street from the burning build
ings, and the cottage belonging to
Capt. Jno. A. Davis nnd occupied
by Mr. H. H. Savage and family,
Just West of Mrs. Atkinson’s, were in
great danger from the shower of
sparks that fell upon them during the
progress of the Are. The roof of Capt.
Davis’ house caught, on Are onoe, but
the blaze was promptly extinguished.
The usual criticisms and the expres
sion of conAlcting opinions on the
work of the Are department can be
heard on the streets to-day, but any
one who will visit the scene of the Are
can see that some mighty good work
was done by somebody.
BON. C. B. WOOTEN.
ThomasvlUe Tlmo8-Entoi*prl.e.
Hon. C. B. Wooten, of Albany,
passed through the city Sunday. He
was en route for Suwanee Springs,
Fla. Col. Wooten's physicians had
ordered a change of climate and
water. A reporter met the candidate
for Congress from the Second on the
train.
“Col. Wooten, does your card to the
Albany Herald mean an Indirect
withdrawal from the race?" he was
asked. ' •
“It does not,” lie replied. "I hope
soon to enter the campaign actively.
Physically, I have been in the past
and am at present, unable to prosecute
the race as the situation demands. I
ain sorry that while the campaign is
on that I am forced to leave the
district, but hope I shall return re
cuperated and ready for work. How
ever, as stated in my card to the IIeb-
ald, I do not wish my friends to con
sider my personal interest or ambition,
but do what they think best for the
interest of the party.” Col. Wooten
says his return will be governed by
his improvement.
The platform adopted at the Repub
lican convention at Minneapolis and
tho re-nominatjon of Harrison resur
rect the force bill, and that measure
of Republican hate and iniquity is
now held threateningly over the South.
And while the Republican party is
trying to impose this measure upon
the country, there are white men in
the South who are deserting the Dem
ocratic party and allying themselves
with the Third Party. They had as
well turn Republican.
Death •( Capt* J* ItI. Rouse.
Worth county lost one of her best
citizens Wednesday morning.
Capt. James M. Rouse, whoso illness
was reported in the IIkiiai.o a short
time ago, died at his home in Warwick
this morning.
A few weeks ago one of Capt. Rouse’s
feet had to be amputated. He came to
Albany during the last March Assem
bly of the Georgia Chautauqua, and
after his return home one of his feet
became badly InAamedfrom the effects
of wearing a pair of tight shoes.
Gangrene or blood poison Anally set
in, and the offending member had to
be amputated.
The fact of his being an old man
made his case a hard one for the
physicians to manage from the begin
ning, and he never rallied from the
prostration that followed the amputa
tion of his foot.
Capt. Rouse was well known
throughout this part of the State, and
was a man who possessed the cond-
dence and esteem of ail who knew
him. He represented his county in
the Legislature a good many years
ago, and was elected to the State Sen
ate from the Tenth Senatorial district
in 1882.
After the Fire.
“Yea, the house is gone, Sue. ThU
blackened and burned and empty shell
is not our home; it is only the oorpse
of our once pleasant home. There,
there, dry your tears. We have each
other, and can life seem quite at a
standstill so long as we meet together
its ills? Dry your tears, wife of my
heart, ami take my hand while I help
you over this pile of half-burned tim
bers. Beware where you step—this
was the door opening Into our snug
sitting-room. Every night when I
came in, weary from the day’s labor, it
was always with a thrill of pleasure at
my heart that I stood a moment at this
entrance to feast my eyes on the scene
of quiet, cherry, home-like comfort
that I saw. Now the wind will sough
and sigh around these charred boards
that onoe marked the entrance to an
earthly paradise; the sun nnd the rain
will beat upon the Aoor, nnd now—
there, there, cease your sobbing. Has
not the good God above us been witli
us always before in pleasure and in
pain? Then lie won’t desert us now
when in old age we are left with no
child to care for us and no roof over
our heads. Dry your eyes, clear, we
have nothing to fear.
“See, Sue, that corner over there has
been spnred by the tlnmes. Oh, iny
heart, it was twenty years ago that a
tiny white coAIn stood justoverthere—
a coAin that held the promise of a life
dear to us. The clouds seemed very
heavy and the way very dark then.
And tliere, in that same corner, stood,
yenrs Inter, another long and narrow
box that held all that was earthly of
our second child—aiur bright, promis
ing boy. And there, too, stood Mary,
when she plighted her trotli to the
husband that carried her far away
from the hearts that rejoiced at her
happiness wtiile they bled at the
thought of the long, lonesome. hours
before them. Ah I dear heart, did the
Aerce Annies know of ail the human
joys and sorrows thnt that old corner
has witnessed when they spared its
timbers to remind us of the pleasure
and pain of dayB gone by?
“There, then, cease your orylng-
cease your crying, and be glad tbat
the daughter in the distant grave had
not this sorrow of ours to add to hers.
Be glad that none but two old hearts
that have seen life in its happy antici
pations, some of its pleasurable,
and muoh, much of its dread realiza
tions, are left to mourn over what
comes now. -Come, dear, we have
stayed long enough. Let us leave this
scene of ruin and desolation.
“See these poor, soorolied Aowers
that always nodded so Joyously over
the pathway from the ‘gate. Dear,
burnt daisies!
“Look back, Sue. See how the set
ting sun clothes the jagged, blackened
timbers with n rosy, softening light.
Thus will God’s meroy and love en
fold a life wrecked and burned with
sin or with sorrow.
“Good-bye, old home—safe refuge of
halt' a life time, good-bye!"

Melon Shipment*.
From Thurwhiy's Kvkntnc Hkhai.ii.
There was a slight falling off in the
loads of melons that went through Al
bany to-day, from yesterday’s ship,
ment. The Southwestern division of
the Central railway reported 45 cars
for yesterday and 82 for to-day. The
total shipments to date have been 188
cars, of which the Northern and West
ern cities have received the greater
number. Cincinnati has had the lion’s
share thus far, haring received 18 car
loads.
Bargains on all lines of goods this
week at Hofmayer <fc Jones’.
We now have four separate and dis-
tinct political parties in the Second
Congressional district—the Demo
cratic, the Republican, the Alliance
and the Third or People's Party.
There are those who will stoutly
deny that the Alliance ia a political
party unto and within itself, and will
undertake to support such denial witli
the claim that the Alliance is doing
its work inside tho Demooratio party
and running its candidate for Con
gress subject to the Demooratio nomi
nation, but this claim will hold good
only in those counties where the Alli
ance machine has got control of the
Democratic party organization.
Ami such proscription and intoler
ance! Wherever the Alliance is in
the majority nono but Alllanoemen
need apply. Suoli arrogant intoler
ance has never before been witnessed
in our politics ns has been exhibited
by the Alliance In such counties ns
Terrell, Randolph, Worth, Decatur
and Thomas. Men who have been
loyal Democrats all tlieir lives and
have grown gray in tho faithful ser
vice of the party in every conffict with
tile common enemy, are proscribed
and relegnted to the rear unless they
belong to the Alliance and yield to its
demands without regard for Demo
cratic creed, platform of principles or
party usage.
Men who are Democrats in princi
ple nnd on purpose, naturally look
upon an oath-bound seoret organiza
tion that seeks to control the party of
their ohoice, with ail its snored mem
ories that belong to the experience of
the last thirty years In the South, with
disfavor, nnd will not submit to hav
ing the creed and demands of that
party made secondary to those of such
secret organization.
Turn and twist It as you may, the
effect of the Alliance organization in
tills Congressional district will be to
either control or destroy the Demo
cratic party. Many Alliancemen are
beginning to realize this truly serious
state of affairs, and will not hesitate
when the time eomes, as come it Inev
itably will, to choose between the Al-
lianee, which is now nothing more nor
less thun a political party with its
candidate in the field, nnd the Demo
cratic party of their fathers.
The Herald has never had any fault
to And with the Alliance as an agrl-
cultural and industrial organization.
As suchit has bad our good wishes, and
we have sympathized with it in many
of Its demands and especially in its
warfare upon monopolies; but we be
lieve that the sober, thinking men of
the order will agree with us when we
say that the organization of the Dls.
trict Alliance for political purposes in
the Second Congressional district 1ms
already proven to have been a great
mistake.
The Demooratio party is the white
man’s party in the South. This is es
pecially true here in the Second dis
trict, and is made so by circumstances
which we cannot control and con.
ditions that cannot be removed, and It
is not only unwise, but dangerous to
society and tho best interests of our
section, State and county for Demo
crats to ally themselves withany party,
order or movement that tends to pre
ate division in the Democratic ranks
or whose interests or demands are
made primary to Democratic rule.
AmV.lL REUNION
Of the Fourth Oeorgla Regiment of Cou.
federate Velerune.
Tliu annual reunion of the Fourth
Regiment of Confederate Veterans
will be held this year at Jeffersonville,
and the following letter received to
day by Mayor W. II. Gilbert will be of
especial interest to the survivors of
that gallant old command who read
the Hkhalu.
The Fourth Regiment were given
the name of “Jorees" when they Arst
went out on account of the peculiar
style of their coats, which fact is men
tioned here for the information of
those who may not “catch on” to the
reference made to “Jorees’- in thin let
ter:
June 14, ld92,
Mr. W. H. Gilbert:
Dear Sib—’Your letter came in due
time to the undersigned, and we say
to you that the Arst Wednesday in
July is the day that was set and agreed
upon for our association of veterans
to meet at Jeffersonville. Therefore
you Will give the matter to the public,
that there maynot .be any misunder
standing. We, the citizens of Twiggs,
are fuiJy awake, and will try to do all
in our power to make our old brethren
enjoy themselves. We want to Ihow
you a full nest of “Jorees” on that oc
casion that is not afraid to scratch
anything from a grasshopper up to a
lizzard. Come one, come all. Respect
fully yours, Sim Th^iif.
GOOD INTEREST ON A DOLLAR.
lawyer** lUturn to n Brother
Who 1M<1 lllm » Smell Fnvor,
Senator Suwyer, of Wisconsin, ac
cumulated an immense fortune in
the lumber regions of the northwest.
Ho left New York state comparative
ly a poor boy. witli $200 in his pocket,
which he earned by working on a
farm. His brother was then a well
to do farmor in his nativo state. As
,’oung Sawyer was bidding farowell
lis brother asked him how much
money ho had to begin life with in
the west.
“I've got $199 in my pocket," said
the senator of tho future. His brother
gave him a dollar to make it an oven
$200.
A few years ago Senator Sawyer,
returning from a visit to Europe,
stopped at. his brother's house in New
York state to spend a week amid the
scenes of his youth. He noticed a
cloud on his brother’s face. One
evening at supper tho senator cas
ually inquired into his fortunes, and
before tho conversation closed devel
oped tho fact that he was troubled
over some outstanding notes. They
were not exactly pressing, hut as a
thrifty fanner and a conscientious
man generally they troubled him.
By adroit questioning tho senator
ascertained the amount of each noto
and the name of tho holder. The
next morning at breakfast he said to
his brother:
•‘I want to uso your horse and bug
gy today to take a drive over the
country and call on some of my
friends. But I go alone.”
The horse and buggy were got
ready, and away wont tho eccentric
old senator.
They were sitting together that
evening after supper, when out of
his inside coat pocket the senator
drew a small package of papers and
banded them to his brother.
They were the notes, representing
an aggregate of $1,300. He had paid
and taken them up.
His brother was at first dumfound-
ed. Still he woe not averse to the
senator’s course. The notes had been
scattered among three or four men.
In the senator's bunds they were all
together, and then the senator was
his brother, and it was only natural
that ho should prefer him as his cred
itor.
“Now, you make out a note for the
whole amount, and I will Becure it,"
he said.
“When I went west," said the sen
ator, looking up at the border of the
wall paper, “you gave me a dollar to
make up the $200 with which I began
life for myself. Probably you have
forgotten it, but 1 never forget a
financial transaction. Every dollar I
took west earned $1,450. The notes
I topk up today were for only $1,300,
and so, instead of being in my debt,
I still-owe you $1B0. Here it is.”
And he handed him the amount in
crisp bank notes already counted.—
St. Louis Olobe-Democrat.
A Dragging Match.
A Parisian paper relates the fol
lowing story of a contest in boasting
which, it says, took place between
three artists.
“My dear,” said one of the artists,
“yesterday I painted a pine board in
imitation of marble, and did it with
such fidelity that when the board
was put into a pond of water it sunk
like a stone.”
"PoohI" said the second; “that is
nothing. Yesterday I happened to
hang up my thermometer on the
back of the frame of my‘Viewrin
the Artie Regions,’ and the mercury
instantly went down to 20 degs. be
low zero."
“All that is nothing zt ail," said
the third artist. “You know my
portrait of the old Marquis of Cam-
argne? Well, it is so lifelike that it
has to be shaved three time a week. ’’
PlioijpItRtei In Food.
A deal of rubbish has been written
about phosphates in food. What is
certain is this, however, that in the
finest qualities of flour, from which
tho best bread is made, there is a
slight deficiency in phosphate of cal
cium. The outer portion of the grain
contains more phosphate than the
inner part. Somebody has printed
that “the quantity of phosphate of
calcium contained in living beings is
proportioned to their activity,” hut
whether this activity is a physical or
mental one is not mentioned. It does
seem that the phosphates in food do
not go to make bono entirely, but
are used in other parts of the human
economy.—New York Times.
Cue of Books.
A lover of books will always take
good care of them. He never holds
the book by the corner of tho cover,
never turns down leaves, never lays
Hie book down open, either with the
face downward or on its hack, and
never breaks the binding by opening
the book too forcibly. He turns the
leaves one by one, taking 'great care
not to soil or tear them, and uses the
volume gently. It makes no differ
ence if the book be cheap or worn,
he always handles it gently.—Jew
ish Messenger.
The Horse Liked Wood.
Stranger (anxiously)—I left, my
horse tied here to your post, and now
he’s gone. What became of him ?
Mr. Wayback (reflectively)—I dun-
no for sure; but from the way that
horse o’ youm was ehawin at my
post I shouldn’t wonder if he’d eaten
it up an gone off ter bunt another.—

A REMINISCENCE OP WILD BILL.
HIs Feet In Killing Two Men Who Hud
Pistols Leveled at Him.
Among the prominent citizens of
Hayes City in the last days of Kan
sas railroad building was "Wild Bill"
(William Hickok), who bad been a
serviceable pcout in Hie Union army
along the Arkansas border during
the war. Bill came to Hayes City
with the prestige of having killed
nine men, unassisted, who had cor
ralled him during the war intent
upon hid death. Ho, too, had fol
lowed “the K. P.” railroad along
every inch of its construction from
Manhattan. His personal appearance
and tho complexion of his white han
dled revolvers had bocomo quite fa
miliar all along the rood, and espe
cially at Abilene, during its days us
th» terminus of the Texas cuttle
drive, whore, as city marshal, there
was never a cowboy who got "tho
drop" on Bill.
Wild Bill in those days was "the
Slade" of western Kansas, the man
who Mark Twain says in "Roughing
It” wns respected in Nevada for hav
ing “killed his man.” In physique,
as tho writer remembers him, lie wus
as perfect a specimen of inunhood as
evor walked in moccasins or wore a
pair of cavalry boots, and Bill was a
dandy at times in attire—a regular
frontier dudo. He stood about 3 feet
2 inebes toll, bod a lithe waist and
loins, broad shoulders, small feet,
bony and supple hnnds, with taper
ing fingers, quick to feel the cards or
pull the trigger of a revolver. His
hair was auburn in hue, of tho tint
brightened but not reddened by the
sunlight. He lmd a clean, clear cut
face, clean shaven, except a thin,
drooping, sandy brown mustache,
which he wore and twirled with no
success, even in getting an upward
twist at either end. Brown haired
as he was, he had clear gray eyes.
He hud a splendid countenance,
amiable in look, hut firm withal. HIb
luxuriant growth of hair fell in ring
lets over his nhoulders. There wus
nothing in liis appearance to betoken
the dead shot and froquent murderer
—except his tread. He walked like
a tiger, and aroused, ho woo aa fero
cious and pitiless as one.
Bill’s means of livelihood at the
time ho was in Hayes City went un-
S [uestioned, and there is no reason
or agitating the subject at this late
day. As “a killer,’’ however, Bill
put himself on record very shortly
after coming to Hayes City. His
first exploit was a double shot, a
right and loft fuBiUade. The writer
witnessed the affair.
J ’wo men come out of Tom Drum’s
oon, and walked toward the newly
built depot, surrounded by a raised
platform. Each man had a pistol
drawn, when suddenly from a group
of four or five "crack I crack I” went
two pistol shots and Wild Bill stood
on the edge of the platform with a
smoking bone handled revolver in
each hand, and the two men who hail
been approaching the platform were
seen to totter, stumble forward and
fall. Death was instantaneous in each
cose, as if Jove had hurled a bolt at
the men. A row over cards the
night before caused tho double death
and a double funeral as soon os the
corpses could he prepared for inter
ment.—St. Louis Republic.
Nol.jr Toucan 1.
I know no fowls of the air which
more admirably typify in their own
persons the effects of a foreetine
tropical fruit eating life than the
gorgeous toucans. Their big bill en
ables them to reach out from afar at
fruits as they sit at their ease on the
trees that bear them, and to toss
them off at a gulp in a large and airy
manner that is very characteristic of
all the whole-swallowing fruit eat
ers. They are gregarious and so
ciable birds, to a great extent organ
ized into a fixed community; for they
make common cause against enemies,
such os owls and falcons, whom they
surround and mob with ono accord
after the fashion of all dominant
races, os rooks do in England.
Having thus little need for protec
tion, they ore noisy and clamorous
in their native woods, resembling in
all these respects the other gregari
ous fruit eaters, like parrots and
monkeys. Cn short, they display for
us in full perfection the free, demo
cratic, fearless, open and gossipy life
naturally engendered in tropical sur
roundings among powerful and so
cial frugivorous species.—Cornhill
