U about 1:30 this afterneon a fire alarm was rung in from Second A venue, caused by a small blaze on the roof of Col. J. 11. Rhode’s residence. The fire was doubtless caused by a spark, aud the bbzt which scorched only a few shingles, was put out by the Ei»t Tennessee boys of the Alabama division, be fore the Hose wagon and Hook and Ladder truck arrived. Npv rtheless the department made a n agnificent show, ■■ s ith No. 2 wagon in the lead, and No. 1 wa g ~i a block in ’he rear-just the dill r.tnce of th 1 start, and to* heavy truck of th- block b-lnnd all flying down Broad Stre t.

WIIAT TUB PRESIDBMT OF THE MSW ORI.EAXB TKLKPHOWK tXCHANGE BAYS. Mr. A. W. Crandell, pcesident of the Great Southern Telephone Com pany, which is operating under a lease from the Bell Electric Telephone Company, while speaking yesterday of the expiration of the patent upon the original Bell Telephone, sa id that aa far as New Orleans and Louisiana was concerned there would be no change# made. The present telephone was the only one he knew of that could satisfy the demands of the pub lic through an exchange. The expiratieu of the patent, to hia thinking, means but little, for the original Bell telephonewas but a crude instrument, which could never satisfydhe demand From time to time there have been made changes and improvements, until the 811 C mp yis in j o sess en of about 1,000 patents, Improve ments upon their original instru men!. This being the fact, it would b<- difficult to p.it in the market f telephone tha t could do the requir ed amount of work, some part of which was not already owned by ke Bell Company. He could no* think ©f having heard of a tel-- phone during his extended con-< lection with the instrument, which ho thought could f ake the pl ce o he modern telephone. He thought there were many who would say that they could pl.vce in the market a telephom which could be used for less mon ey and with the same good r-suits, but the person who subscribed to this instrument would simply al low his money to be used in test ing an experiment. While ths tele phone company here did not think of substituting other instruments, they have in view a number el changes. One, and the most im portant, is the erection, of a new Exchange on the corner of Cai cm dulet and Poydras streets But a short time ago a largo piece of property was purchased al the named corner, and upon it the must modern building and equip ments will be erected. It is the idea of the Southern Telephone Company to place at this corner the very best building, aud no money will be spared to purchas* the latest improved instruments and outfit. The company also has decided, to accommodate the in creasing business, to run another line between the city and Baton Rouge. At present there is but on. line, and subscribers are placet to some inconvenience becauß< thia line is always in use. The ad ditional wire will be put up very shortly.—New Orleans Picayune, Mr. J.

The events leading up to this ar of peculiar inter s', and in the light of past occurences appear rather peculiar, to say the least. When the notice that a motion I for new trial was made the name of! Mr. 11. B. Moss appeared as Hill’s attorney. It seems that in the time between the verdict of gjillty and the sentencing of Hill be and rolleson had made friends, and that it was the little banker wuui furnished the money necessary to I preserve the rights of his ancient ■ enemy. It must I- • borne in mind | that it was Mr. J, R Tolleson that sept Harry on the move and ma le vigorous efforts to bring him back to Atlanta for a trial. However on yesterday Mr. Well born Hill, Mrs. Ida 11. Casey, Har- j ry’s aunt, aud Colonel Rucker went to the jail where they weie rloseted with the prisoner. The lutcome of the conference was thfd ' Harry signed a note authorizing the judge to dismiss the motion or a new trial, The concession was that the other cases should be lolprossed and the sentence re duced to five years. Hardly h d hia move been made known when 4 me one wrote a note to Tolleson md told him what had occurred, .nd he made all haste to the jail, le arrived there just as Mr. We'l rorn Hill was preparing to leav . Mr. Toleaon asked for p.dmittsn e I ■ tit Deputy Sheriff Hill told him .bat (Harry) did not want to se» j um and gave orders that lie war lot to bo shown in. An order was taken uol. proseing the ©ther indictment and reducing 1 the sentence to the tim? men* i n, WHERE HAUBY MAY Go It is more than likely that Hai- Hill will bo sent to the cm 'mt in* of Captain Bi 1 Sd: I , iir Jglelhorpe county.
