Dawson has been enveloped in
gloam for a week.
~ One cntire block of basiness

desolate and s:d, mourning tle
untimely and horriie death ot two
of its loved,innocent and pra:tling
inmates,
About eight o'clock the alarm ot
of fire was soundad, and Lowrey's
warehouse was discovered to be on
fire.
The front door ot th e warehouse
was burst open aml immediately
the flames rushel out with light—
ring rapidity, lapping everv thing
in reach. In afew seconds the
entired Llock was a solid sheet of
red.
The fire started in the cotton yard
mmediately in front of the gate in
the rear of Mize'sstore, and was
undoubtedly of icendiary origin.
The firemen did heroie work,and
it is well they did, or else the ens
tire business poridon oi-Dawson

Atter about two hours of harl

A DISTRESSING SCENE.
The Saddest Accldent Tver Wit.
; wessed in Dawson.
Tue saddest result of the fire
was the killing of little Russell and
Claude Guerry, sons of Judge
Guerry, ana a colored ‘boy, by a
falling wall cn last Friday after
noon.
The coldest and hardest of hearts
vere melted when the forms of
the two little innocents were
‘brought forth from the debris.
At the time of the awlul catas
trophe Judge Guerry was in At
lanta with a young son, Goode,
and the awtul vews was at once
telegraphed him. He who hath a
son can but feel the depth of sor.
row that sinks ito the heart of a
fether who was i a distant city
when the gloom of death settled
upon the family,
The grief stricken parents have
the sympathy of this entire scction.
May the dark cloud thot has
hovered over the home be -bright
ened by the smile of a wise Father,
who doeth ail things for the best.
The burial took place Saturday
afterncon, when Russell and
Claude were laid to rest, side by
side, as they died.
Saturday’s Atlanta Constitation.
YR
One of the saddest .scenes cver
witnessed ia Atlanta occurred at
the Kimball hoase last night.
Judge James Guerry stood bes
tween his two friends, Presideni
dußignon and Solicitor General C.
D. Hill,
They were in a jevial mood.—
Lite was bright to all three.. To
nou? of them more bright at that
moment than to Judge Guenry.
He had lately been: raised to ihe
judgeshipby an overwhelming ma
jority of the legislature. lte had
warm aud leyal friends and their
was not on the horizon a cloud the
size of a man’s-hand.,
All at once the seene changed
aud everything wes as black s if
the sky bad.turned to brass above
him, .
My, dußignon had just baatered
him with a friendly jest when
Judge Guerry was banded a. tele
gram,
~ Hesopencd it ealimly, glanced at
the contents; and in an instant the
strenghth and tbe brightness ot life
was gone. He almost sank to the
floor.
Mr.dußignen read the telegram.,
Tt conuained. these worls :
"‘Claude and Russell kiiled by a
falling walls. Come home,”™
The poor broken-hearted ‘ather
was accompainied to-his room by
his friende and there he ‘remained
for a long rime wtterly prostrate.
The first thought was to get heme
as quickly as possible. but it was
soou found that he couldunot leave
before morning.
Sywmpathy vainly tried to-pers
form its pour effice. It could not
do nothing.
In a few minutes the sad news
went all through the hotel and flew
over the city. All the legislators
know Judge Guerry. }§e is a
warm-hearted, magnetic man, who
hasa host of friends, and the blow
that erushed him fell with painful
weight on them all.
