UNFORTUNATE AUGUSTA.
.That City Was Visited by Another Disastrous
Firs Yesterday.
Augusta, Ga., May 9.—What looked
'to be afire that would stop only when
it had wiped out the ootton storage dis-
triot of Augusta broke out in one of
the storage compartments of the Union
'Compress Oo.’s building at.1 o’olook yes
terday afternoon. When the blaze was
•disoovered it had gained sufficient head
way to oover the roof of the building be
fore the alarm oould be responded to.
An alleyway about six feet wide sepa
rates the oompress and Phinizy & Oo.’s
warehouse. The high breeze that was
blowing in a very short time swept thn
flames over the heads of the firemen to
-this building, in whioh was stored 1,200
bales of ootton. From here it was blown
to Whitney & Oo.’s warehouse and
seemed to be beyond the control of
the department. In the Whitney
warehouse there were 2,500 bales
stored and soon the whole was a
roaring mass of flames. The walls
of this structure were the only ones to
give way. Had it not been for this the
fire department oould not have stopped
it when they did. They are being
highly commended on aU sides, the
mayor personally thanking the chief of
the fire department.
The losses are as follows on the cotton:
Whitney & Co., *105,000, Phinizy &
Co. *50,400, oompress company *4,000.
The loss on buildings is estimated at
*3,500. The ootton was fully insured,

'FOR NEW YORK HARBOR.
The Most Powerful Gun In the World Is Being
Made.
Washington, May 7.—New York har
bor is to be defended by the most for
midable gun in the world. It is being
manufactured at the Wateyvlit gun fao-
twy.
Tbe readers of the Herald are fa
miliar with the disappearance of Mr
Leslie M. Anglin, the nineteen-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Anglin, from
his parents’ heme on Monroe street last
Friday night.
Young Anglin went home with his
father that night and seemed in as good
a humor as ever. His father accompa
nied him to hie room, where, after
talking a while, he left him lying across
the foot of the bod. The next morning,
when his father went to the Bon’s room
to get his hat, whioh he had left there
the night before, he saw that the bed
had been unocoapied the night before.
HiB bou had left homo shortly after hie
father left the room the night before.
On a chair in his room he had left the
keys to the store of Anglin & Anglin
and three notes, two to his nnole, Mr.
H. G. Anglin, and one to his mother.
These notes stated that he had left to
kill himself and that searching for his
body would be useless, as they oould
never find birn.
Young Anglin took only his Bible and
pistol, wearing his every day olothes and
taking none of his other olothes with
him. These foots rendered almost uni
versal the oredenoe of what he had
written, that he bad gone out to kill
himself. Saturday morning searohing
parties w ent out, believing that his dead
body would he found somewhere in the
swamps near Albany.
About B o’olook Saturday afternoon it
was learned that young Anglin had gone
down on the B. & W. passenger train
Friday night as far as WayoroBS, and
that was the last seen of him until last
night, when he returned to Albany and
to his home. Anglin boarded the train
at Milwood, eighteen miles west of
Wayoross. He told Oonduotor Wilson
he had "jnst been walking abont,” and
seemed to be rational. He said he didn't
know where he had been. He asked
whether his disappearance had "caused
any talk at home. ” He looked tired and
a little seedy. He was "broke,’’ and
borrowed his fare to Albany from par
ties on the train.
When he reaohed Albany Anglin
went to his father's home. He was slok
and ' tired looking, as thongh he had
been tramping over she country for the
five days of hiB absenoe. His mind was
wandering and his conversation was
dlaoonneoted And rambling, Dr. Gilles
pie was sent for and examined Anglin.
He pronounced him insane.
Young Anglin was unable to give any
aooonnt of where he had been. He
seems to think that he 1b still away from
home and does not reoognize but few ol
the faoes of those who have seen him.
Both the pistol and the Bible which
he took with him when he left had been
disposed of before he returned home, for
he brought neither of them book.
Dr. Gillespie was seen by a Herald
reporter this morning and Baid that
yonng Anglin was undoubtedly men
tally unbalanced. He said that he was
siok and tired this morning and that his
condition appeared a little worse prob-
ably than it was. He said that he hoped
it was a case of temporary insanity and
that by care and treatment he might be
restored to his right mind.
A Herald reporter endeavored to see
young Mr. Anglin this morning, but his
physician had forbidden any one to see
nim on account of bis condition and his
need for absolute rest.
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Anglin, parents
of young Anglin, have suffered uutold
agony during their sou’s absence, and
his return, even in his sad condition,
has relieved them of a great anxiety.
The Herald extends the community’s
sympathy to them in their trouble and
expresses the hope that thoir hoy may
soon be restored to perfect health of
body and mind.

A MINE DISASTER.
SAVED TWENTY LIVES.
From Wednesday's Dally Herald.
Reports that oie ooming into Albany
indioate that great damage to all gro ty
ing crops has resalted from the hard
wind and hail storms of the past two or
three days. Ootton, oorn, oantalonpes,
watermelons and peaohes have been the
pridoipal sufferers.
In tho territory immediately aronnd
Albany, tomatoes and trnok of every
description show the effeots of the
pounding and twisting they have re-
oeived. Tomato plants are bent and
broken and almost ruined. Many
young peaohes have boen blown from
the trees, and have rednoed the visible
orop hardly less than 10 per oent.
Mr. George 0. Oochran, of Flint, waB
in the oity this morning, and stated to a
Herald representative that the dam
age to orops throughout the section of
Mitohell oonnty in whioh he lives is in
calculable. Fail storms have played
havoo on hundreds of farms, and high
winds have helped extend the damage.
Mr. Ooohran states that on Sunday
afternoon a terriflo hall storm ooourred,
the fall lasting for fnlly two hourB.
Tbe blades of yonng oorn plants were
beaten into shreds and ootton fared no
better. Mr. Oeohran stated that he
would probably beoompelled to plow np
a three hnnaFed acre field of ootton.
"The hail stones were large enough
and tblok enough,” he stated, "to break
off, olose to the ground, the stems of
praatioally all the plants in,iny field.”
Mr. Morris Weslosky states that his
trnok garden jnst north of the fair
grounds has been seriously dam
aged, .tomato plants suffering
more injury than any others.
Oantalonpe fields throughout the oonnty
show the effeetji of hail stone fnstladee,
and the damage is not to be estimated
in dollars and oenta.
A terriflo fall of rain ooourred in the
lower part of this oonnty sod in Mltohell
on Snnday afternoon, and large ponds
that are still standing formed in every
low place. _________

Rev. Chas-T. Wright Pads os His Physical Ex-
mMMIm for a Cbaplalu In Iks U. S. Army.
FromJWednesday's Herald.
Rev. Ohas. T. Wright, rector of St,
Paul's Eplsoopal ohuroh, returned last
night from Atlanta, where he went to
be examined physloally for a chaplain’s
plaoe in the United States Army. Mr.
Wright was appointed a chaplain in the
army by President MoKlnley some time
ago, but his receiving this appointment
was conditioned on his being able to
pass the physical and mental examina
tions required by the army regulations.
Mr. Wright went to Atlanta and was
physloally examined at Fort MoPherson
yesterday. He failed to pass h's physi.
cal examination, so that he eannot re
ceive the appointment reoently given
him by the President.
Mr. Wright has been anxious to get
in the army for a number of years, and
it is a great disappointment to him that
he failed to pass his physical examina
tion after having received the appoint
ment he had been so long seeking.
The people of Albany will reoeive the
news of Mr. Wright's failure to pass his
examination with mingled sorrow and
joy. All are Borry that he has been die
appointed abont entering tho army, yet
all are glad that he is not going to leave
Albany. There have been few ministers
in Albany 30 universally beloved as is
Mr. Wright, and the entire community
has looked forward with regret to tho
time when he would have to leave to
join the army.

From Tuesday's Dally Herald.
The oity fathers hold their regular by
weekly meeting at the oounoil chamber
last night. Mayor Brown and Aider-
men Whitehead, Lippitt, Tarver, Wel
don and Jones were present.
There was an unusually large accumu
lation of routine business on hand, bnt
it was disposed of with dispatch. Bills
were ordered paid, reports of oity offi
cers were referred to the proper com
mittees or approved by Oonnoil and
standing or speoial committees were
heard from. Alderman Lippitt reported
the parohase of thirty dirt pans for
those man-holes of the oity sewerage
system whioh were not already so
equipped. This matter had been , re
ferred to him with power to aot.
The mayor reported that after a con
ference between the finance committee
and himself it had been decided that
the expense of operating the rannioipal
government dnring the next few
months would be mnoh greater than
had been anticipated, and that the
funds ooming through regular ohaunela
would not be sufflolent to meet all de
mands. This matter, the mayor stated,
would come np later in the meeting.
The bills approved inelnded those for
new police uniforms and new beds for
the firemen’s sleeping quarters.
A request of O. K Wight for the re
funding of oity taxes unjustly paid by
him was granted, and a similar petition
of J. J. MoOrame for the refunding of a
machine dealer’s license tax was refused.
The question of having some needed
extensions of the sanitary sewerage sys
tem made in the Albany Ian blook was
refen ed to the health oonunlttee and
oity physlolah.
An amendment to the annual lloense
ordinance fixing the tax on telegraph
oompanies doing business In tho oity at
*50 was adopted. The ordinance amend
ment is published In this afternoon’s
Herald.
The report of the board of assessors of
railway property In the oity, as given to
Oonnoil several Weeks ego, was ordered
forwarded to the comptroller general of
the state for his information. Should
any ot the railway oompanies oonsider
the assessments too high, their com-
plaints will be hoard by CkmnolL ; .
The olerk was instrnotod to rood a re
port of Mr. F. M. Laxton, expert eleo-
trioal engineer, who was bronght to Al
bany by the Oity Oonnoil reoently for
the purpose of making a thorough ex
amination of the city's eleotrio lighting
system. Mr. Lsxton’s report was an
exhaustive and comprehensive docu
ment, and showed that the writer had
gone over the situation carefully.
After the report was read, Alderman
Whitehead made a motion that It be
published in its entirety in the col
umns of tho Herald for tbe informa
tion of the public, and that the oltizens
of Albany be invited tp meet with the
mayor and oonnoil at the oity hall on
tomorrow, Wednesday, evening at 8
o’olook for the purpose of dismissing the
eleotrio fighting question and deciding
on a course of action. The motion was
unanimously adopted. The report of
Mr. Laxton will be found in today’s
Herald.
Those who road it—and it should be
read by every oitlzen and taxpayer of
Albany—cannot fail to be impressed
with the faot that the plant is past re
demption, and that to put it in condi
tion for effective service would entail
an expense hardly less than would he
requited to bnild a new plant.
The Mayor and Oonnoilmen, have
their own ideas, of course, about what
is best to be done, but they wish to oon.
for with the. oitizenp and taxpayers to
morrow evening in order that ideas
may be exchanged, j,

Of the friends that were loving and

Of a health giving breeze and ot sun
