FIDE DESTROYS
CIRCUSPOSTER
Five Companies Rush to Near-
Blaze in Downtown Section.
Young Atlanta Mourns.
I lie Greatest Show on Earth" was
destroyed by fire this afternoon. Flames
consumed the entire aggregation before
five of the best companies in the South
couid answer a telephone alarm and
save any part.
With the “G. S. O. E.” went a
menagerie collection of elephants,
lions, tigers, giraffes and, it is said, a
real "Bull Moose.” The advance ad
vertisements alone cant tell the number
and variety of wonders included in its
collection.
All this happened when some one
tossed a lighted cigarette out of a back
Window of the Third National Bank
building, Fluttering front the side of
the adjoining building, now occupied
by the Broadway hotel, was an enor
mous cloth sign, that hung there before
the skyscraper interfered with its pub
lic position.
In a moment the beauteous scenes ot
jungle life, the flamboyant boxcar let
ters of alliterative description ignited
and the passing breeze whipped it into
a blaze.
To the throng at Broad and Marietta
streets it looked as if a blazing torch
was hanging from >ne hotel window
Some one turrjpd in an alarm, and, ns
is customary on a centrally located
fire, five companies raced madly to the
scene. When they got there the sign
had burned itself but. leaving scarce a
trace on the side of the brick building,
and the firemen went back. No more
will the glories of last year's circus be
v recalled to the office boy who gazes
wistfully out of an office in the big
skyscraper adjoining.

' Howe, of Chicago, foreman of the block
signal system being installed on the Terre
Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern traction

ity for the wreck which caused one death

AID IS RUSHED TO
TROOPS IH PERU
WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-—Alarmed
at the danger which threatens Major
Sedgwick Rice and his detachment of
the Third United States cavalry on the
Mexican border. Brigadier General
Steever has sent Troop O of the Third
cavalry to Major Rice's aid.
General Steever reported this move
ment to the war department today,
adding that he had heard nothing fur
ther from .Major Rice and considered
the situation most dangerous. The
American troops are encamped in a
valley holding an advantageous posi
tion against the Mexican rebels across
the border. The rebels, however, now
number 1,500 desperate men well
equipped with smuggled ammunition
and plenty of food, while the Ameri
can cavalrymen have but 100 rounds of
ammunition apiece and light marching
rations.
The reinforcements now on their way
to relieve the major are convoying a
large amount of ammunition and food
and it is hoped they will arrive in time.
General Steever reported that he con
sidered he had enough troops now at
El Paso to handle the situation, but to
insure safety he has ordered the rest of
the Third cavalry from San Antonio to
Fort Bliss.
General Salazar is reported to be in
the mountains near Casas Grandes
moving north to avoid the federal ad
vance. Orozco still is in Juarez, di
ecting the mobilization of his men
near the border.

120 LIVES ARE LOST IN
TERRIBLE STORM ON
SPAIN’S NORTH COAST
MADRID, Aug. 15. —At least 120 and
possibly 200 lives were lost in a terri
ble storm which swept the northern
coast of Spain along the shores of the
bay of Biscay, according to dispatches
received here today from Bilboa.
The storm raged all day Tuesday and
Tuesday-night, destroying fishing craft
in the bay. blowing down houses and
wrecking telegraph and telephone sys
tems. It was not until yesterday that
the first meager word was received here
that twenty were dead. Further in
vestigation today increased the death
list to 120. while it is feared that it will
go much higher.
At Bermeo, a seaport sixteen miles
northeast of Bilboa. many fishing
schooners which were at sea when lite
storm struck are missing with their
crews. The beaches are strewn with
wreckage and many dead bodies have
been picked up.
NEGRO SEARCHED AS
CHICKEN STEALER IS
HOTEL SILVER THIEF
When Orlando Watson, a negro por
ter in the Majestic hotel, was arraigned
today before Recorder Broyles, he had
to answer to the charge of stealing
valuable silverware instead of chick
ens.
Detectives searched Watson's home
in an effort to find a coop of chickens
stolen from the Majestic, but failed to
find so much as a feather. A closer
search, however, revealed the missing
silverware—2l pieces—and the potter
was arrested for this theft. Confronted
with the silverware, he confessed.
Judge Broyles bound the negro over
to t he state courts.

HAYWARD 4 CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 15. Weather de
velopments over night were more favor
able. The conditions for rains diminished
and prospects are for generally fair
weather conditions with exception of
western Texas, northwest Alabama anil
northern Arkansas. where unsettled
weather is likely. The map shows no rain
of consequence over night and only light
showers in the central states.
I Liverpool futures conformed to the ad
vance in New York, but spot prices are
only 8 points higher; sales low, small Ca-
' hies say market is governed by New York
operations
Early New York wires Imre this morn
-1 ing predicted further professional ftUßpbrt.
There was in consequence a scarcity of
sellers and the market advanced in the
• early trading on little buying to 11.81
: tor October.
However, when the government forecast
promised fair weather east of the Missis
sippi river the market lost 9 points. There
was also a rutnor that returns to the Na
tional Ginners for the half month indi
cated a condition of 77.5 against 77.6 on
, July 25.
New York wired during the day that
spot imprests were against the market
and that the mill demand had stopped on
the advance.
Our market continued to fluctuate
sharply anil showed nervous unrest. It
seems for the moment that there Is still
a little too much short Interest b£ the
size of the new crop movement atw the
, chance for a temporary professional dash
on this short interest Is being satisfied.
The strong support in New York by cer
tain operators is explained on the ground
I of such an intention. If the weather
continues good the new crop movement
outside of Texas will son put a stop to
all manipulation and bring the markets
> down to spot facts.

consequence except in mountains of East '
Tennessee ITospects greatly improved, i
the threatening disturbance moved west
ward and chances are for continued good
weather except unsettled in west Texas.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat’s
summary: With the elimination of sell
ing pressure by liquidating longs, the cot
ton market has turned its attention to
the adjustment of parities in which un
<lertaking the relative strength of earl.x
receipts is playing a leading part. With
the ending of August and with the be
ginning of a full movement a little later,
talent and trade will have to consider the
prospective yield in its relation to re
spective requirement as a concrete, price
factor, and to that end will dig deep under
the surface of things cropwise and trade
I wise Meanwhile, technical conditions
growing out of the speculative line-up
I and speculation resulting from the late-
I ness of the movement, and the magnitude
!of the August requirement will figure to
I a greater extent in price making.
There are some students of the market
’ who believe they see unmistakable signs
of a period of less active trade, particu
larly in Europe. In this connection, how
ever, some of the largest cotton houses
report they can discover nothing that
leads them to expect less than a fourteen
million-hale requirement In 1912-13.’

IN EARLY SESSION
Passage of Steel and Wool
Bills Has No Bear Effect on
Stock Market.
Sy CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. Aug. 15. -Canadian Pacific
took the leadership of the stock market
at the opening today, having a bull move
ment in this stock in London on reports
"f expected new rights for the system.
This issue opened here at 281% after hav
ing closed last night at 2804,.
The tone at the outset was firm, the
market showing no bear effect from the
passage of the steel and wool hills by
the house over President Taft's veto. An
other cause that Wall Street held partly
responsible for the good tone was the pub
lication of bumper crop reports with the
resulting conclusion that railroads would
need further equipment to handle the
grain traffic. Steel common opened un
changed. but quickly moved up %. Steel
common opened unchanged, but quickly
moved up %. Steel preferred also rose
%. Among the other gains were Amalga
mated Copper %, Erie common %. Balti
more and O. %. Atchison %. Lehigh Val
ley %. Missouri Pacific % and Southern
Railway %.
The curb was strong. Americans in
London showed strength with the Fries in
best demand. Canadian Pacific rose on
reports of the acquisition of highly bene
ficial privileges.
Two reasons were advanced for strenfth
of Fries in London. One was that the
first preferred Is to be put upon a 4 per
cent dividend basis, and the other that in
terests allied with the Canadian Pacific
are buying the stock.
Strength displayed in the market dur
ing the forenoon due to outside buying.
The copper stocks, with Steel common
and Reading, were in brisk demand, while
Canadian Pacific advanced -%c.
After midday selling pressure appeared
in the market and the tone became heavy.
In the mid-afternoon there was a num
ber of recessions. Thon the late trading
actual pressure especially In Reading ap
peared. Reading declined to 171%, a loss
of 1% from last night’s closing, while
losses of around a point were scored in
Louisville and Nashville. Great Northern
Ore. Northern Pacific and St. Paul.
The stock market closed heavy; govern
ments unchanged; other bonds irregular.
