MILLIONS IN SMOKE.
One Day’s Record of Disastrous
Fires.
On Tuesday Jacksonville, Fla., had
one of the biggest fires in her history.
The fire broke out in the three-story
crockery house of R. 1). Knight, in the
center of the business portion of the city.
The heat ignited the Hubbard block, the
largest building in the city, four stories
high, ami containing the Hubbard hard¬
ware store, Western Union Telegraph
office, Southern Suviugs and Trust Cora
pauy, Jacksonville Liaht infantry armory
and tho telephone central office. Thence
it jumyed across the street to the Semi
nole Club house, three stories high, and
communicated to the Smith
building and the Mattier
building. In the Smell building a
large amount of dynamite had been
stored. This exploded aud started fires
blocks away to the northwest The

shattered, and . the Mclew* k$ covered
broken glass. The firemen could
have stopped the fire at this point, but
for the explosion. ’That rendered them
about helpless. Residences, stores and
hotels broke into flames, and the fire
became a terrible conflagration, aud was
not stopped until after daylight in the
middle of the square, bounded bv
Church, Ashley, Laura and Main streets.
The burnt district covers about ten
blocks in area, six long aud two wide,
embracing some of the finest blocks and
best dwellings in the city. A heavy
-wind was the cause of the fire spreading
so much. The city has a desolate look;
many families are camping out in the
p ftr k, as the weather is warm, and they
haven’t had time to engage now quartets.
This is the heaviest blow in this line
Jacksonville has ever sustained. An
estimate of the loss and insurance is as
follows: Total losses about eight hun¬
dred and fifty thousand dollars. r lotal
insurance $498,805.
A CAN FACTORY DESTROYED.
The Pocock can factory, in St. Louis,
an extensive establishment, on the corner
of Franklin »ud Second streets, was

and dollars, with an insurance of $78,000.
The other property was well insured.

Cambridge, Mass., burned Tuesday.

cupied part of the Damon building, aud

loss of the Damon S-tfe and Iron Com¬
pany will approximate $200,000, on

terns were destroyed, and the stock and

A ROW EMINENT
Unless China Interposes in the
Murder of Foreigners.
A cablegram from Shanghai, China,
says: There is no disguising the fact
that a most serious state of affairs, po¬
litically, exists and in this combined country at fleets the
present moment, the
of the powers may be called upon at any
time to take (ffective action. Danger
clouds have been >-een on the horizon for
months past. Smouldering fires, caused
by the agitation existing against for¬
eigners and others, among the populace,
have repeatedly broken out into fl ime,
but, apparently, without, until quite
recently, revealing the streigth of the
volcano which is threatening a most dis¬
astrous outbreak.
Internal affairs, undoubtedly, arc in¬
ward, and the actual cause of the dis¬
plays of ill-feeling ngaiust foreigners aro
the only outward signs of the movement
in progress. In this city, at preseut, a
state of great excitement preyails at an
increase d and still increasing tension be
tween the Chinese government aud min¬
isters of foreign powers. From obstinate all ap¬ in
pearances the former are
their refusal to redress the injury done to
foreigners during the recent riots. Some
people say that the government dares not
take this step demanded in common jus¬
tice to the powers for disapproval fear of incurring a
storm of popular Iu any
case there is no doubt as to the obsti¬
nacy of the refusal to right tho wrongs
inflicted upon foreign residents of China.
ATTRIBUTED TO EXPERIMENTS.
Texans Blessed with a Surplus
of Rain.
A dispatch from Van Horn, Tex., says:
A heavy rain fell in this vicinity Friday
evening, extending from Broncho station
to Sierra Blancs, The rain was one of
the heaviest, to cover such a large have terri¬
tory, that has being known to fallen
in these parts for years.„ and the people
are inclined to attribute utlj copi iousness to
the scientific experiment! of Dyrenforth’s
party near Midland. A great deal of
water is now on the ground, and ranch¬
men say it will insure a gjod range for
cattle for many months.
MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
Of the Georgia State Alliance
Exchange.
A meeting of the trustee stockholders

was held at Atlauta Tuesday. The meet¬

to order promptly at 10 o’clock by
President Peek, and was in session all
day and part of the night. There were
present 130 trustees, in the representing meeting almost

differences throughout and there was no factional
< f trouble.

port of President Peek was received and
read. Then came the report of Secretary
Ledbetter, followed by the report of
the directors. After these had been
read the report of the experts appointed
to examine ex-Business Agent Wynn’s
books and accounts was submitted. The

Complete defalcation and exhaustive, showing Col- the
entire and exonerating

every old directors standpoint from all blame. re-*
were then unanimously
elected, and they were requested to re
elect Colonel Peek as president of the
exchange and ex-officio chairman of the
board of directors of the exchange. The
following resolution was then introduced
by Mr. Barry, of Cuthbert.
‘‘Resolved, That the trustee stock¬
holders’ convention now in session do
most condemn emphatically the and most unqualified •
ly course of The Atlanta
Journal, The Macon Telegraph and other
papers in the limits of the state now
pursuing the same policy towards the
state exchange and state alliance, in their
false and malicious statements concern¬
ing Colonel Peek and other officers of
the state exchange. We believe that
this conduct is but a part of a programme
to destroy the alliance order, and all that
pert ;ins to the same, and beg the broth
eihood to beware of such influences.”
This resolution was unanimously
adopted by a rising vote. After the hearing
all the facts in connection with alli¬
ance exchange, a special CQmmittoe of
seven endorsing was appointed to draft resolutions
the action of Colonel Peek
and expressing the entire confidence of
the trustee stockholders in his integrity.

“After hearing all the evidence in de¬
tail in relation to the alliance exchange
and Brother Peek’s connection therewith.
“Resolved, by the stockholders’ con¬
vention assembled, That W. L. Peek has
conducted the affairs of the exchange in
a way that meets our entire approval, and
that our confidence in him is firm and un¬
shaken, and that our confidence in his
ability and integrity is unbounded.”
The afternoon session was devoted to
receiving reports of the trustee stock¬
holders from the different counties, and
no discussion was indulged in. The night
session was largely attended, but no busi¬
ness was transacted. The proposed plan
to establish a central purchasing agency
and also sub-exchange was thoroughly
discussed, but no action was taken. The
meeting adjourned till Wednesday morn¬
ing.

who keeps a drug store, sells all
medicines, comes in direct contact
with the patients and their families,
and knows better than anyone else
how remedies sell, and what true
merit they have. He hears of all
the failures and successes, aud can
therefore judge: “I know of no
medicine for Coughs, Sore Throat,
or Hoarseness that had done such ef¬
fective work in my

Sore Throat, German Syrup. Last
winter a lady called
Hoarseness, at my store, who was
suffering from a very
severe cold. She could hardly talk,
and I told her about German Syrup
and that a few doses would give re¬
lief; but she had no confidence in
patent medicines. I told her to take
a bottle, aud if the results were not
satisfactory I would make no charge
for it. A few days after she called
and paid for it, saying that she
would never be without it in future as
