Chronicle, Sunday morning.
Augusta ie io the midst of an
other conflagration which bids fair
to be worte than the memorable
blaze of last June. The alarm
was turned io from "box 34 300 this
morning.
The fire originated near the
centre of J. B. Waite's immense
establishment and was a seething
m as B of flames when seen by Mr.
D. C. Cone from Ellis street. He
ran around to the box at the corner
of Broad and Jackson streets where
the alarm was turned in.
- At this writing-3:45 a.m.
White's main store and annex is
like a molten furbace, the back of
Dorrs, the Montgomery building,
the store of E. J. O'Connor, on
Ellis street, north side, are in
flames. Chief Roulett says the
Masonic building is doomed.
The Old Shades, on the south
side of Ellis street, and J. Travis
Young's and other stables are
either in flames or smoking ;vith
the heat.
The wates pressure is low and the
firemen have a terrible conflict to
wage.
The Arlington is doomed.
The occupants of the Hats at
741-743 and 745 Ellis street have
escaped in the scantiest of clothes
without saving any of their effects
beyond a trunk or two. The whole
block is threatened and may in
clude both sides of Ellis street.
The fire on Broad street ranges
from Dorr's to the Arlington hotel ;
including Dorr & Sons, clothing
store; Schiadressl's fruit aud
confectionary store ; J. B. White
& Co's, big department store;
Arlington Annex; Henry Meyer'6
cigar store ; J. MiHer Walker, hat
ter; Stu lbs' soda fountain and re
staurant ; Amonitti's barber shop ;
Tom Shinholser's saloon and the
Arlington hotel.
Chi ooul6ti-&ay?>. ?tu- whole of
J. B. White's upper story was bur
ned out when tho department
arrived.
The guests of the Arlington
were awakened as soon as the fire
was discovered, but pandemonium
reigned and much of the. drummed
goods set out for show will be lost.
Every boarder is out of the build
ing as far down as the first story,
; only the top story being so far in
. blaze.
The'Luildiii03 in range on Jack
son street, under the hotel, are the
hotel saloon barbershop, pool room,
L. J. S ch au l's pawn shop atd
. jewelry store and Miller & Elmore's
cigar store.
The Old Shades saloon, on Ellis
street, Richard's livery stable and
Morris' livery stable on Ellis etreet
and Jansen's saloon are in such a
condition as to make saving any
look utterly impossible.
4:00 a. m.-The rear of
the . Masonic building , is
miming madly. Chief Roulett
says the Arlington cannot be saved
and the guests are coming down in
every sort of negligee, the office j
force is busy carrying out the)
boosk and valuables.
The hotel is filled with guests,
nearly ever room being occupied.
The occupants of the store on
Jackson street (Arlington build
ing), Miller & Elmore (tobaccon
ists),^ L Freeman (jeweler), B R
Mitchell (electrician), L J Shani,
two stores (jewelry and pawn
brokerage), and R G Witherspoon
(colored) barber shop. .
4:05 a.m.-Chief Roulett, who
has wired for help to surrounding
cities, has heard from Macon, say
ing, "Will be under way in .20
minutes." * 1
4:08 a. m.-A dull explosion of
some painting material in the rear
of thex Montgomery building, is
heard.
The rear of Dorr's is blazing
fiercely, and the store can hardly
be saved. Much reliance is placed
ia the Dorr firewall to stop the fire
from going eastward. The Old
Shades ia now practically gone and
the firemen have turned their at
tention to surrounding property.
. The upper floo?s of No. 741 Ellis
are aflame, but the tenants have
succeeded in gettiug out much of
their movable property. Captain
O'Connor thinks that his ware
house floor will not be burned.
4:10 a.m.-The Masonic build
ing is a mass of flames. Most of
the property of the Sacred Heart
Fair and Masonic lodge rooms has
been taken out.
Thus far no one Has been hurt,
though many of the firemen have
been slightly burned.
One horse from the Ellis etreet
station became panic stricken and
rushed into the flambs. All the
horses were removed safely.
THE ORIGIN. ,
No one knows how the fire start
ed. Mr. Von Kamp, of J B White's,
says that the only guess he can

make is that au electric wire set
fire to some of the woodwork.
Chronicle, Monday morning:.
Schneider's historic old corner
is smoked and scarred, but not de
stroyed, though it is probable the
gutting of the building-will mean
that it will give way to one far
handsomer in its place. At the
other end of the burnt district the
Dorr building is partly gutted and
badly damaged in the rear, but is
practically intact in front. In
three hours a million dollars worth
of property in the very heart of the
city has been converted into ashes.
A FATED FIRE DISTRICT.
Augusta has been notably exempt
from disastrous conflagrations, but
at long intervrals fire gets headway
in the very heart of the old city
and eats at her very vitals.
lt is a rather notable tact that
all the great fires of he past twenty
years nave occur d within two
blocks of the rliugron hotel
corner, three of them on the same
side of the -street;
This morning's great fire-the
greatest the city has known in 50
years-hagan in the heart of J. H.
White's big dry gooda bouse-the
nearest approach Augusta had to
a big modern depart maul store.
The origin of the fire i3 unknown,
but ft is surmised that au electric
wire may have come iu contact
with the woodwork af'er the in
sulation on it became imperfect,
ar possibly a spark from an
electric light may have tumbled
into the dry goods.
THE FIRE DISCOVERED.
This is only speculation. No
Dody knows how it started. It
vas discovered by Mr.' C. D. Cone,
y ho runs a restaurant on Campbell
street. He was'passing down Ellis
?treet opposite to. tbe back ^en
ranees to' White's" store and
iaw a big blaze on the inside. He
urned in the alarm as quickly as
3ossible. This was a little before
I o'clock.
The fire could not have brokeu
mt anywhere that would have
;iven it a greater start, unless it
aad- been in a powder magazine or
imong th? oils and paints of a
Irug' store. The greatest floor
jpace of any store in Augusta,
md one of the largest iu the state, ]
vas ;jvered with dry goods
;arpets, clothing, curtains and
?onse furnishing, shoes, and
lotions ot all kinds, and the flames
ushed frbm counter to counter
intil a sea of flame was dashing
ts waves in every direction within
he walls.
ASKING OTHER CITIES FOR AID.
As soon as possible after-the
.larm the firemen were on the
;round, and the general alarm was
urned in by the chief at pnce. It
Lid not take Chief Roulette a min
tte to see that he had a conflagra
ion to contend with, and as soon
is he started his own apparatus to
rork he wired to Savannah and
-lacon for aid. Both of these cities
responded promptly, and started
heir apparatus on speoial trains
or Augusta.

his life. It was a hopeless struggle
from the first so far as the block of
buildings extending from the new
Montgomery building to the Ar
lington hotel was concerned. With
the water supply Available, after
thft tiemendous headway the fire
had gained iu the heart of White's
store, which was bursting out in'
every direction-for. a &pa?e of ft
hundred feet ou Broad street and
cn Ellis Btreets, it was impossible
to save the buildings already in
volved and threatened, and Chief
Roulette ordered the guests in the
Arlington hotel to be notified at
once to get up and look after their
effects.
FIGHTING THE FIRE.
Playing streams of water into
the burning caldron of J B White's
store was absolutely hopeless, and
the only thing to be done was to
try to save the building across El
lis street, and to stay the fi?mes; if
possible, within the territory al
readly involved.
The value of Broad dtreet's great
width'-wae plainly -apparent-in
front, but Ellis street, in the rear
was only forty feet wide, and in a
little while the heat fi om the burn
ing buildings bad started the tele
graph and telephone poles iii the
street to blazing, and in & "ew
minutes the buildings acrosi e
street were smoking and blau
with the terrible heat.
Firemen never fought mo
pluckily nor risked (heir lives mor .
resolutely than did the brave mei: j !
under Chief Roulette at the dawn
of this Sunday morning. The Old
Shade's saloon and all night restau
rant, a big frame tinder-box; was
soon ablaze, and it looked as it the
whole line of livery stables across
Ellis street would be ablaze ai
once. By Herculean effort the fire
was confined to the Old Shades sa
loon, and until me Arlington ho
tel's fearful blaze and flying fagots
sent the fire across to Greene street
it was kept in bounds.
A HORSE BURNED UP.
As soon as possible the horses in
the adjoining stables were gotten
out. but they were terribly panic
stricken, and when one of the Ar
lington hotel horses, belonging to
Mr Bryan Lawrence was led out
be rushed madly into the sething
Sames across the street.
It was a horrible sight to see him
bum to death. A policeman tried
to get close enough to shoot him
ind ead his suffering, but the heat
was so intense he could not ap
proach near enough for a bullet to
DO effective, and he would not add
.0 the horrors of the situation by
aeedleisly firing, bullets into the
corees burning body. Fortunately
,he wretched animal got far enough
nto the burning chaldron for his
sufferings to be comparatively
sh ort. and he was soon bumed to a
jrisp.
LOST HER BABY.
One of the pathetic incidehts of
;he early panic in tfie Arlington
lotel vas*the losing of her baby
ry Mrs. D. B. AuBtiu. The hotel
lad not yet caught on fire, but thn
?rder to everybody to dress and
jet out had created a panic in the
ireasts of the timorous and rattled
nany. When Mre. Austin discov
irod that her baby was noising,
ht? was in great distress and in a
noment men were searching in
very direction. Every room in
he hotel waB gone through, but it
iras not in the building and was
.t length found Bate and well in
he arms of a woman on Broad
treet.
LOOTING THE STORES.
One of the discreditable in
idents of the fire was the' way
n which men looted the premires
f the threatened .places. The
irlington bar was one of the early
oints of attack, aod for awhile
len were helping thrmselves to
asks and bottles of liquor in a
wholesale fashion, but the police
nd others in authority stopped
be marauders as soon as possible.

was also raided whea it became
evident that the hotel-was doomed
and walking canes, pipe9, tobacco,
etc., were grabbed by the handful.
Of course it is not meant to charge
that all who carried away these
articles did so with felonious in
tent. Far from it. Many were
reputable and honest men who will
restore the goods to their owner if
they have not already done so, and
were simply seeking to aid in
carrying out.some of the stock,
but there were some others^ Who
were availing thtmeelves of the

to seize whatever t^ey could.
DORR'S STORE ON FIRE, "C
At hiilf past 4 o'clock Bmoke
wa? bulging out of the roof and
out between the walls joining the
Montgomery buildings. Dorr's
building was well protected in
front, but in-the rear the tailor
shops were all exposed to the blaze
in the rear of White's and were
soon on fire. In spite of all that
could be done, the flames ate their
way in from the rear to the front,
ana the Dorr building ?was badiy
damaged, though the walls were
not Furiously injured. The thick
wall which has served as a bulwark
against fire on both sides stopped
the flames from going further down
Broad street, being aided by tbe
direction of the wind which was
blowing' diagoDally across "the
burning block from the direction'
of the Georgia Railroad Bank
towards the postoffice. The n?w
buildings which have just gone np
on tho burnt district of the -last
bigfir9, which for a time weie m
dangar of being destroyed ag?ih,
remain intact th? fire having been
arrested at the uptown wall of the
new Montgomery building,

THE ARLINGTON HOTEL ABLAZE;
The Arlington aun<jx and the]
stores beneath it, all a part of. the
old Centra] hotel property, aliUtted
the Kore of J. B. White on ti}e up
town Bide, and all was involved in
th* first onslaught ol' the ijalru?p
after getting outside of .Wmite's
big store. Next came the land
some Masonic building, into; this
the flames ate their way from the
rear. When this became thoroughly
ablaze there was no longer, any
possiblitv that the ArilingtonVootel
could escape. It has always .had
the reputation of being exc?diugly
vulnerable, and when the Sames
reached it from.the rear of Masonic
buildiigit was soon ablaze.
A MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE.
It was a magnificent spectacle
when the flames were at' their
height on the Masonic building
and the Arlington hotel, ^?'hese
were the tallest structures on the
block, and turrets ran high dp on
the front. The trehiendous bon
fire was doubtless visible for on au y
miles in all directions, aud to those
who were far enough removed to
look on the tower of flame crawling
higher and higher into the heavens,
and bearing still further aloft a
perfect volcano of b'azing particles
nd burning sparks the sct-nei was
3rand, despite its terrors. At this
?tage of the fire, the heat on Broad
street was intolerable, and the
2rowd which had heretofore lined
rhe opposite side of Broad street
had to move down as far as The
Dhroincle building and up iu front
Df Bligh's. .
. By this time the front ot the
Dyer building was as a stove and
the occupants of tho front rooms
began cutting away the cloth
iwuiugs over the windows and
pouring water down the face of the
building from tho roof. Never
?vas the value of Broad street more
signally demonstrated. Had Broad
street been as narrow as Ellis and
[ackson, and the buildings on both
sides been attacked at once, notti
