Miss Nettie Gilder, of Experi-
3 nt, Ga., is a lucky young wo¬
rn; and it appears that one or
o others there are to be classed
nig with her. It seems from a
dement made in a Now Y'ork

gotiations with Miss Gilder and
pected shortly to be marrriedto

much married man, and it was
the long trail of wives that he

He married one wife in New

H., another at Boston, another
Newport, R. I., another at Nar-
jansett Pier, another at Dan-
ry, Conn., and still another at

Explosion in a Laundry.
The plant of the Albany steam
. laundry , narrowlv , escaped n destruc- , ,
tion , by gasoline .. explosion . Fri¬ .
a
day. The generator exploded
with a loud report and comminu-
nicated to the large tin reservoir.
This was thrown out before its
explosion by Messrs. R. M. and
W. R. Crittenden, both of whom
sustained severe burns. One of
the white female employes had
her arms and hands badly* burned
and a negro woman ran into the
streets with her clothing aflame.
She was saved by the prompt
action of several parties, who tore
off her clothing, receiving pain¬
ful burns themselves, while the
woman was almost unhurt, The
damage to the laundry was small.

SOLDIERS HOME GONE
AND ITS CONTENTS
BURNED MONDAY MORNING
, Vet-
erans Saved Nothing But Clothes
They Wore. Movement Begun
to Rebuild the Home.
Atlanta, Sept. 80.—Last night
1 ll ° re Tf a ® old ie “’ H °v, To¬
day , \ all 1 that u is left 1 of it is the
, ro iml ul>on whicU the building
stood and two tall blackened
ehimneys thafc stand out ft s senti¬
nels watching over a large pile of
ashes. A dozen or more tall oaks
standing near the building are al¬
so gone from the ravages of the
flames. These will no longer af-
ford » , shade . , and shelter for the vet-
erans when the home isVobuilt as
it surely will he at an early day.
This morning about 8 o’clock an
old veteran occupying a room in
the upper floor was heard to yell
at the top of voice “murder,”
“help,” and a little later it was
discovered that he should have
yelled “lire,” for the building
was in flames. The inmates had
just finished breakfast. Some of
them had left for the city, others
were strolling about the grounds,
and a few of those who are inva¬
lids were in their rooms. The
discovery that the building was
on lire caused a general rush of
the inmates to their rooms to save
if possible their effects, while the
attendants busied themselves re¬
moving such articles as they could
handle by throwing them out the
windows of the home.
H. C. Underwood, his wife,
daughter and servants, who live
about 200 yards from the home,
gave their assistance in every way
possible • in helping the invalid
veterans out of the building, and
through their efforts and those of
Mrs. Thomas, the matron of the
home, and the attendants, the
sick men were rescued from the
building in time to save their
lives.
1 The large building burned rap¬
idly. The lire was so hot that the
gallant squad of fighters had to
withdraw to a safe distance and
then stand and see the flames as
they destroyed the historic struct-
What few effects were thrown
out of the windows were burned
before they could be removed.
None of the furniture or house-
hold effects were saved. Mrs.
Thomas and her daughter lost all
their clothing, as did also Super¬
intendent Wilson, except the ar¬
ticles they were wearing at the
time the fire broke out.
The Soldiers’ Home was valued
at $ 20 , 000 , but under a law passed
the legislature in 1888 could
not he insured for more than half
of its value, this Jaw applying to
the property owned by the
state. Many regrets are being
expressed at the loss of the home,
and a strong feeling of sympathy
prevails in every, quarter for the
old veterans who have lost the
roof from over their heads, But
they will get another home very
soon, and until it is bwilt they
'
will be well eared for.
The Soldiers’ Heme was built
at a curt of *85,000 a..<l the mm,-,
ey raised by popular suuscnption.
The institution, from the time it
was finished up to its acceptance
by the last legislature, saw many
ups and downs, one effort
another being made to preserve it
intact until legislation could he
secured that would transfer the
property to the state upon condi¬
tion that the state should support
it. The doors of the institution
were thrown open for the admis¬
sion of indigent confederate vet¬
erans June 8 last, and the records
show that there are now seventy-
one men on the list of benefiei-
aries. There have been four
deaths at the home since it was
opened.
Comptroller General Wright
suggests that in rebuilding the
home twenty or more four-room
cottages he constructed * in the
form of a pircle and that in the
center the dining room or mess
hall be located. He says that this
is the way the soldiers’ homes at
Richmond and Baltimore are ar¬
ranged. He thinks it a great im¬
provement on one large building
for many reasons, one of them
being that the old veterans then
can reach their quarters without
having to climb a long flight of
stairs. Gen. Evans heartily en¬
dorses the suggestion.

KILLING IN CLAY.
Mr. Russel! Stanley Shoots Drunken Negro
In Self Defense.
Mr. Russell Stanley shota negro
named Richard Boone last Satur¬
day night near the Stanley home
in the seventh district, from the
effects of which the negro died the
following morning.
The hands on the Stanley farm
had a party on the night of the
shooting, and Boone, being (trunk,
stopped there and raised a row
with some of them. lie finally
became so troublesome that some
of the hands went after Mr.
Stanley, who. when he arrived
undertook to make Boone leave.
This he declared he would not do,
and cursing Mr. Stanley drew hi.->
pistol and had fired one shot when
Mr. Stanley began shooting at
him and emptied liis pistol, two
of the balls being lodged m the
negro’s body, one in the bowels
and one in the groin. The negro
also continued to shoot until hl-
pistol was empty, but every hall
went above Mr. Stanley, and he
was not hurt.
There were a number of wit¬
nesses present, and a coroner’s in¬
quest was not necessary, The
witnesses all agree that the killing
and was clearly a ease of self defense,
no warrant for Mr. Stanley’s
arrest has been issued. He sent
Sheriff Peterson word Sunday
that he would come to town and
give himself up at any time in*
may be wanted.—Fort Gaines
