To undentaud^the situatlou a abort sketch will be neresrary. The Allen hooce was one of the largest buildings in Mitith Georgia, being three storifes high, and built entirely of pluo. It wa* |quite popular its a w inter retort, having for jatroui' many well known and wealthy people front the north. Some flve years ago Major Allen, of Watorbury, Conn., bought this property and greatly improved it; making it a beau tiful and attractive building and a comfortable and commodious hostelry. He dlcdfliere, and tha prop erty passed toiiiS wife, who had never lived here. She sold it to Postmaster Griffin, who fulled to pay for it, and it reverted back to Mrs. Allen. She then, without notifying the citizens, or giving them a chance to make other arrangements, donated the property to the American Missionary association to be used for a colored school. The building was in the heart of town, and surrounded on. all sides by dwelling houses. The people were opposed to the location of the rohool.thu* centrally, andjmuch bad feeling has l??een engendered thereby. Before this trade*wasJyultutnatcd. a gentleman, who knew that it.was,pending, met Mr*. Allen in New York, and asked her to authorize him to trade for her and give the sole .another direction. To this she replied tbat.tlie.propcrty wa* not for sale, thut she owed dispeople ofQnitinan a-grudge,which she intended to l<ay hy turning tho.building into a negro school. This.remarlb when reported here tended to maddeu.the???people. *Mr. J. 11. Parr, of Chicago, with three white tvomen from the north, tcok charge of tbc.collcge on the 1st of October,and took 111 the following week eight colored girl*. Tho conduct of these people, which was closely watched, was Mich as to cull down upon them the, bitterest hate of the community. The nnret???perfect social equal ity prevailed. As the building waa.in the centre of town, turroundc'l chicly l??y residences of|th??- best people, the familiar proceeding* between white and colored over in the follegc was an ever present eye- Wire. Many threats were made.against the institu tion. An Incident which occurred ut.tho college a few day?? before the burning serves to illustrate its dis cipline. ??? Among the visitor* or scholar* at the college was a negro well kimwn iu the community, named llundul C???oabon. lie D|m* hluckjw the ace of spailcs, nf??out thirty years old??? which would seem to pre clude the idea ufjhh lwlng a ??tuilcnt,-and weighs IM) jiounda. It seem* that lft > tw l ecn the said Randal and one of the w hite teachers, there existed a considerable degree, of intimacy. So In timate huil they l*rcome Indeed, that the lady in play fill mow? lent the aforesaid Coalzon her flno diamond ring. Whether tin* ring was intended us .an engagement ring or>erely lent ft??r the purpoie of enabling the colored party to cut a swell for a few days still remain* a mystofy, and the wholo matter might have continued a mystery had not Mr. Conlson lost the ring. Then the lady let the cat out of the bag by sending to mar shal Dinkins, with the request that he use his offi cial cupncity to recover lier<iiamoud. Mr. Coalmm being pushed tip a little to return tlm ring called on the Jeweler, Mr. Barnes, for tho purpose of buying one to replace (he otic h??L&Thc first ring* shown him were worth about four dollar*. Tltesowcro too expensive and lie finally compromised on one ??? for which he paid u dollar ???aud this he presented lo the Judy to replace the lost diamond, which it lx said wa* worth one hundred nud fifty dollar*. Gommcntlugon this story, fthp "local newspaper, the Free Press, said: Buch ???carrying on* ns this between a white wo- ???.ji nml n negro fellow are simply indecent, nil- natural, outrageous nnd Uiscusting. A woman iU the north who would be guilty of flirting with a negro would be cla*??cd us she is here, with the lowest dreg* of xs-iety. fan the citizen* of any community, north or south, be blamed if they are opposed to the ???social equality??? teaching* of such creature*.??? While the indignation against such conduct was deep, yet the best citizen* steaility counseled against njl vlplcut maun res. It was liopctl that tome inwle* might be urrangnl between the college authorities and'the citizens by which a more suituhle loca tion* would be accepted, In which event citizens would ral??e the money for that pmpooc.

The fire originated in the reurof tlie two-itory 1. attached to the main building and on the i??-idc. The lower story of this addition contained the kih-hen and 4liuing room.
