In response to t.elegram from Mayor Kibbee two fire engines were at onco Sent from J/iiCon, but ihe fire was under control When thej- readied their destination. The following buildings wire destroyed; CM. Bozeman & Son’s Warehouse. Sfore next door, Masonic building. Daniel Eludes, and-’ a small frame Louse torn down. The fire was stop pi-d b'ut’nfarly every merchaiii in town moved o'at their"igoods. and much was lost by stealage. So rapidly did the flames spread from the warehouse that the neighberibgjStores bad little time to save their goods. And the following list of losses is" as near as can be obtained untill futher advices. C .M. Bozeman & Sons warehouse loss £20,0.C6,'insured for. $6,500. P. C. Clegg & Co’s stock of- goods, lost 910,000. insured for §5,100/ . J. F. Lewis & Co’s- stock of goods,, less 317,000, insured lor §8,000. Lewis Leonard & Co’s vault’ is sup posed to have saved their money, papers and books,—hut they had ad vanced on a large r.lncunt on cotton, which is sup posed tp.have been insured. J. O. Jelks & Bro., lost about 310.800 worth of cotton, a large pait of which is probably guano Colton and may not be their individual loss, biit this is sup position. W. B. Steele, cotton buyer, lost about 90, bales; which was doubtless bought by him ou ordeis, and may not be his less. Daniel Pihodes lost his house and sleek, valucd_at about §10,000, Insured for §5.500, F. H. & C. G.Bozemans stock was lost and injured to a large extent, probably §2,000. Masonic Hull was worth about §5,000. The public library was a total loss al most, probably §1,000 or .§1,500. About 800 baler ,cf cotton were burned a good lot belonging to Houston conn- ty.plauters. Mr. F. W. Bivins lost eleven bales which Judge Bozeman was just trjing to sell when the fire was dis covered. J. H. Triton lost one bale. G. J. Brown lost ten bales. The loss by merchants moving their goods was heavy. The cause of the’ fire is not: known, and the incidents as related to ns by Judge Grice, ah eye witness were thril ling. We deeply sympathize with the losers, many of whi m we know to be most excellent gentlemen, and they will doubtless reopen in other quarters. TheMacon fire-men did good work in putting out the fire in the debris and rnins. The burnt buildings we. learn .will be rebuilt at once.

A married daughter of Mr. S. L. empson, Mrs. Rebecca Mathews been for some time .iaborirg. under severe affliction of the mind, 1 o much so, nj times, that the family were com* pelled to keep her every action under the closest surveillance to prevent her from doing, herself in jury. This morn- it so happened that this nnfoitunate la dy was left for a few-minutes alone in the house; her step-mother being in the kitchen attending her domestic duties, and her father and one of her brothers in the horse-lot fixing a trough. At tracted by an unusual'noise towards the dwelling, Mrs, Thomson ran .to the door just in time to see MrS. Mathews issuing from the back door of the dwelling, with her hands clasped over her kness, and her gar ments smoking as she, in a stooping posture, leaped out of the door, and rap idly ran in the direction of the well situated only a few ynrds distant. Mrs, Thompson divining her intention, sprang towards her, at the same time screaming, to the top of her yoice to stop, but.she made no halt and reaching the well before Mrs. Thompson could get to her, she sprang at once head foremost into its depths. - Her father and brother came, to the well as soon sis they could get there, expecting nothing less than to find her lying at the bottom dead, as the well is forty feet deep; and there is a barrel at the bottom, stand ing seveial inches, out of -the water, greatly increasing the danger of the fall. She was not dead, however, and as soon as they conld procure a rope and assis tance, she was placed secnfily in a bas.- ket, and drawn out, aud earned into the house. Several of the neighboring ladies had, by this time, gathered, and they put dry clothes upon her immediately, and placed her iu bed. As far as they could tell, there were no bones broken and wonderful to relate, no severe ex ternal bruises; Her left knee, and the inside of her right hand were terribly binned, and since her clothing was but slightly burned, even over her knees, it is conjectured that in a fit of mental aberration, the placcujbe Jiving glow ing coals of fire on the naked flesh, wr.d held them there with her hands, until moved by the excruciating pain, she started upon her awful race. Her only child was drowned some rime ago, and she has often expressed a desire to miet the tame death,.so that she might be with ln'm; and there is little doubt, that the entire transaction was pre meditated upon her part. If she recov ers, and there is good prospect, of her doing so; it is the purpose of the family to carry hi r to the asylum, where she now wishes to be* and which is certain ly the proper place for her.

The investigation which resulted in the impeachment iction of Comptroller General Glodsmith, uheartlied one of the most stupendous schemes of fraud that ever disgraced the annals of Georgia. With the discovery of ; thege frauds J he par ti^ by whom they were perpetarated must also have been discovered.
