From Monday’s Dally Herald.
Newton, the oonnty seat of Baker
oounty, 21 miles Booth nf Albany, was
visited by another disastrous fire early
yesterday morning.
The blaze was first discovered about
1 o'olook in the store of O. E. Norris &
Bro., dealers in general merchandise.
The town has no fire fighting apparatus
and in spito of the efforts of a bucket
brigade, the flames spread to ndjoining
buildings The store of O. E. Norris &
Bro., with its ooutents, was oompletely
destroyed, as were the stores of W. E,
Odom, W. H. Screws and M. O. Sorews.
Several smaller buildings also went np
in the general oonflagration.
The total loss is placed at $15,000, and
was only partially insured. O. E. Nor
ris & Bro. carried on building and oom
tents insnranoe amounting to $4,800.
W. E. Odom had insurance amounting
to $000 on his store and merchandise.
Some of the contents were taken out of
several of the stores before they were
destroyed, but in tbe main, the stooks
of merchandise proved oomplete losses
to their owners'.
The origin of the fire is attributed to
incendiaries. It is the sooond time
within a year that the Bame blook of
Btores has been destroyed.
Newton has neither railroad nor telo-
graph oflloe, and the telephone line has
not been working today. The above
information was prooured by the Her
ald from various sonroes.

slon the moronry slid down past the
zero point ior a degree or two.
Bnt, ut any rate, the temperature of
this entire week has boon uncommon
enough to justify some passing com
ment. On Monday morning the mer
onry took a tnmblo and the ground was
frozen stiff and there was ice every
where. Every morning since then the
thermometer has registered below tho
froezing point.
This inornlug tho mercury reached its
lowest murk, going down ns low ns 11
degrees above zero in many localities.
The registering thermomotor at the
waterworks station shows a minimum
tomperatnre of 12 degrees and a maxi
mum of 28 degrees for the past twenty
four hours.
This section is not prepared for cold
weather of suoh intensity, and consider
able damage has been done. Water
pipes have burst and plumbers' bills
have been the consequenoe. Flowers
ia many of the pits and hot houses of the
oity have been injured, nnd other vege
tatiou has suffered.
There are few of us who will not wel-
oome a considerable rise in the tempera
tore when the weather will be more
