Minor Fire.
Wo came near having another fire on
Sunday, besides the important one which
occurred at night. Alxit twilight tho
roof of the two-story wooden house at the
corner of Jackson Ami Few streets, owned
by Gen. Penning, caught from a spark,
and sism a considerable blaze was raised.
The flame was quickly extinguished, and
although the alarm in tho nclghliorhood
was considerable, it did not reach the cen
tral portion of the city, and hence the tiro
bell whs not sounded.

'Three stout, healthy hx>kinj|findividuals
yesterday applied to Mayor Mellhenny for
food and help in general. They claim to
be sailors, and say they came from Mobile
ami are trying to got to Savannah. These
applications are becoming very common.
The idea of a man with health and strong
anus appealing to public charity to help
him out of triHible is simply ridiculous.
When the petition for help comes from in
nocent, orphaned childhood, or from weak
and forsaken womanhood, the hand that
can give relief should not be withheld; but
when stout, stalwart, healthy men can
stand up and oak for bread, they are
almost deserving of a goo<l sized stone.
FIXE.
•I. U. Ivey At Bro. llurnt Out.
On Sunday night about eight o’clock tho
alarm of Are was sounded. .Service* had
Just liegun In the various churches, and
great confusion resulted from the alarm.
Men will always run out of church to a
fire. Some go from a sense of duty, while
others merely catch the contagion and are
carried on with tho tide. Tho ministers
had their patience subjected to a crucial
test, and wore compelled to continue their
discourses amid constant confusion, and
when it ceased a score or two of hirers
were left. We may excuse this oxolteinont
at a fire alarm when we remember that it
rarely occurs in onr city.
It was evident that the fire was on
Brood street, and It was Boon located at
the store of J. B. Ivey <fc Bro., dealers in
family groceries. Before water could be
thrown the Are hod spreud over the great
er part of tho interior of tho store. The
lathes and ceiling had caught and extin
guishment was very difficult. The burn
ing house was in tho center of one of the
most Important blocks In tho city, and the
Are companies went to work with might
and main to prevent a spread of the flames.
The .Sans Souci restaurant, a wooden
build/ng was immediately adjoining the
fire and it was thought that It would cer
tainly burn. All tho engines commenced
work energetically,and in half an hour the
flames were under complete control, and
were soon completely extinguished. A
word of praise Is deserved by the negroes
who belong to Washington Fire Company,
and who worked with such untiring zeal
and energy. Their assistance was valua
ble indeed, and they contributed much to
the quelling of tho flames.
Tho origin of the Are is not certainly
known. It seems to havo begun in the
walls, and hence it is thought probable
that rats may have eausod It by igniting
matches. Mr. J. B. Ivey was in the store
about twenty minutes before the alarm
was sounded, and says he saw no signs of
anything unusual. The entire stock of
goods was either consumed or badly dam
aged by water. The total loss was proba
bly $2,300; $2,000 of this amount is covered
by insurance in tho “Equitable” and
“Planter’s” fire insurance companies,
about the same amount in each company.
The building was badly damaged, the
root l>eing burnt entirely off, and the
interior badly injured. Mr. James Kivlin
is the owner, and we understand that his
loss is insurance in the “South
ern Mutual.”
The adjoining buildings were scarcely
injured. Bedell & Ware’s shoo store was
made a little damp, but little damage was
done to their stock. The old wooden
building In which tho “Sans Souci” is kept
was entirely preserved. The carpets in
some of the rooms up stairs were a little
Injured by the water. Our entire lire de
partment deserves great credit for its
promptness, without which the city might
have suffered serious loss.
We hope to see tho damage caused by
tho Are soon repaired, ami the enegetic
young men who were burned out again
firmly set up in business and on the high
road to prosperity.

Robbery unit l ii|,t 11
On Monday morning about 4 o’clock the
store of M. E. Barnett, at the eorher of
Broad and Crawford straits, whs entered
and robbed of a lot of goods of various
kinds. About daybreak Mr. Barnett got
on track of the robbers, and with tho aid
of policemen Pickett and ltoper, and Mar
shal Bobinson, ferreted the whole matter
out. He suspected a negro by the name
of Alfred McNeal, who was employed at
Die store. This individual was soon found
and some of the stolen goods discovered
In ids possi'ssion. Several pairs of shoes ,
wore taken from him. Alfred saw that he
was cornered and made a clean breast of
the affair, confessing that lie did the foul
deed.
Another negro, Andrew Bell, was also
arrested soon after, but was soon released,
as there was no proof against him.
There is another fish In the waters, and
tho vigilant officers who caught Alfred
and Andrew will be apt to draw him out.
Keeo-very ol* Stolen Good*.
We are happy to state that nearly all
the gtxxis and one of the sowing machines
recently stolen from St. Paul's Church
have been recovered by our vigilant
Police. There was strong reason to sus
pect some negroes who live at what is
known as the Cartlidge place, about five
miles from the city, and on Saturday night
officers Fortin and Bobinsou went out and
arrested a nogro woman named Adeline
Winter, who lives thoro. Adeline did not
seem to bo implicated, but was able to
throw great light on the subject, and her
Information led to tho capture of the
guilty parties. On yesterday Policemen
Pickett, St Clair and Smith arrested John
Winter, Levi Wimberly, Bob Leonard, Em
ma Williams and Charles Bedding. Julia
Carter was arrested at the parsonage on
suspicion of complication with the other
negroes. Yesterday afternoon the whole
party was examined before Justice Mc-
Cahey, and ail of them, except Charles
Bedding, were required to give a bond of
*SOO for their appearance at the Superior
Court to answer a charge of robbery.
They could not raise the bond and were
sent to jail. Emma Williams was convic
ted by having In her possession some
goods which she stole from Mrs. Bardwell
some time since. Policemen Cash and
Brady recovered them.
The capture of this gang of thieves
reflects great honor on our excellent Mar
shal and all the Police engagixl in it.

Dr. lV r . B r . FleweUen, Columbus , (in.:
Doar Sir—-I have road with much Inter
est your appeal in the Dally Times, for
for the poor of your city. lam In fullost
sympathy with you on tills subject. Your
position Is a noble one, and our duty at
the present hour, as a Christian jveoplc, is
a plain one. Establish your soup house
for those who cannot work, and furnish
labor or employment for those who are
iKWfdntf for it, and thon you are doln#
the Master's work. If we, as a Christian
pooplo, will do our duty, we will not only
alleviate tho sufferings of our fellow Us
ings, but save thousands by our humanity
to virtue, and society. An experience of
several years immediately after the war,
as Chairman of the Relief Committee of
the City Council of Atlanta, and close ob
servation since, lias fully sottled me in my
opinion that herein rests the great danger
to society. The neglecting of our poor
(who arc always with us,) who by want
are driven into dissipation—dishonesty
and oven into prostitution.
I am glad to see that your sympathies
are moved towards this unfortunate class
of the human family. You are right, “go
on,” and may God incline the heart of all
jjcoplo, everywhere, in this direction.
Please excuse this liberty on the part of
a stranger to you, but a sympathizing
friend of the [w>or everywhere. God bless
you, and them.
I trust I will Iso excused by tin* writer
of the above tetter, for its publication
without permission. His remarks touch
ing our duty to the poor, arc bo l>eautiful

ably inclined to give his vtews to the pub
lic, in hope of some encuragement being
given to such, as may feel indifferent- or
careless on the subjvjet. This gentleman
Is a resident of Atlanta, a stranger in ac
quaintanceship, and yet, a brother in sym
pathy, for suffering humanity every
where. I was approached yesterday, by
an old and accomplished gentleman, who,
with hands extended, and heart enlisted,
begging that the Executive Board of Re
lief should not pass him by, but call at his
office and receive his monthly offering. 1
am proud to say there are many such gen
tiomen aud ladies who have approached
me in the same cordial and Christian man
ner, proffering aid to our Association of
Belief. I trust the committees who have
boon assigned to their respective blocks,
will not overlook any family, business or
office gentlemen, In taking their monthly
contributions. They are expecting you
around, ladies, and will fool slighted if not
called upon to receive their offerings. I
desire to have a foil attendance of all the
ladies and gentlemen who have been
named in connection with our Belief Asso
ciation, and invite members of the Press,
and pastors of congregations, whose
hearts are inclined to our cause, (the relief
of suffering humanity,) to be present, and
co-operate with us. Any others who may
feel an interest in the humanitarian
scheme of relief, will meet with a cordial
reception in the homo of Mrs. Estes, at
our next assemblage, on Wednesday after
noon, at 3.30 o’clock.

Council Chamber a finely ornamented
court room. This would change the whole
plan of the present interior arrangement
They propose to make all change at the
expense of the county. This was merely
presented to bring out the views of the
Council.
Alderman Jordan favored the plan, be
cause it will afford much safer keeping for

Jake Burrus has got an oval curiosity ;
that is, an extremely curious egg. It is
shaped like an artichoke and has more

He has made arrangements to sell this

There is an old tattered, dirty, filthy

True, its inherent value is not much, but
then, it was cut by one Andrew Johnson,

The negroes who stole the sewing ma

Tin* Ladies’ Memorial Association is de

Do You Want Health V
! Why Will Ye Die? Death, or what is
I worse, is the inevitable result of continued
suspension of the menstrual tiow. It is a
condition which should not be trifled with.
Immediate relief is the only safeguard
against constitutional ruin. In all cases
of suppression, suspension or other irreg
ularity of the “courses,” Dr. J. Bradfleld’s
Female Regulator is the only sure reme
dy. It acts by giving tone to the nervous
centres, improving the blood, and determ
ining directly to the organs of menstrua
tion. It is a legitimate prescription, and
the most intelligent doctors use it. Pre
pared by J. H. Bradfietd, druggist, Atlan
ta, Ga., $1 50 per bottle, and sold by re
spectable druggists everywhere.

Bradfleld and: Ot„ Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sirs:
1 take pleasure in stating that I have used
for the last twenty years the medicine you
are putting up, known as Dr.liradjiehi's
Frmale Regulator, and consider it the
best combination ever gotten together for
the diseases for which it is recommended.
I have been familiar with the preparation
both as a practitioner of medicine and in
domestic practice, and can honestly say
that I consider it a boon to suffering fe
males, and can but hope that every lady
in our land, who may Ik* suffering in any
way peculiar to their sex, may Ik* able to
procure a bottle, and their sufferings may
not only be relieved, but that they may Ik?
restored to health and strength.
With my kindest regards
I am. respectfully,
W. B. Ferrell, M. I).
