Tho Arc, which started In tho Hasoltluo
building, was discovered by pollcemon
shortly nfter 3 o'c'ock In tho morning. An
alarm was at onco bout In, but tho (Iro

soon sounded, and tho firemen directed
their energies to preventing the .destruc

for a time threatened. As It was It was
long after daybreak boforo tho flro was
under control, nnd it was not until tlits
morning that tho lire was declared entirely

Tho upper part of tho Hasoltlno build

to collapse, and tho llanios spread on tho
east to Homer, Lelioiitlllear & Co., nnd
on tho wost to tho Baptist Publication aa
clnty. Mnyor King, of Atlanta, aroused from
hla bed by tho lire, refused to loavo tho
threatened hotel until ho saw that every
momber ot his party had escaped safely.
Olga Nethersole was ouo of tho calmest
persons In tho building. Sho saw most of
hor effects safoly rcmuved boforo sho loft
tho hotel. Many ot the othergucsts rushed
from their rooms In their night clothes,
and would have continued Into tho street
had assurance not been given that the
lower portion of tho building was In no
immediate danger,
Tho llaseltlno building was valued at

Weeks nt ll Time.
Maiiexgo, N. Y., Feb, 3. Physicians
nnd tho peoplo In genornl of this vicinity
hnvo been giving much attention to n
strnhgo alllietlon of Miss Hattlo Benedict,
tho 10-ycnr-old daughter of Kllsha Bene
dict, a well known farmer. Miss Bene
dict four months ago fell asloep, or rather
lapsed Into n cataleptlo trance, and did not
awnkn for five weoks, except at long Inter
vals, when sho was conscious for only a
few minutes at a tlino. Onco during this
period whon skonwoko her mother hurried
to get hor some food, but before sho could
prcpnro it tho girl sank back In a tranco.
At tho end of live weeks she awoke with
nn acute pain at tho base of tho brain, but
her faculties wero In no way Impaired and
bor general health appeared good except
ing tho symptoms stated.
Flvo wtokB ago she fell Into nnothor
tranco, which still continues. Her vital
functions appear to bo reduced to tho
lowest point, digestion being at a stand
still. Her muscles aro rigid, but her heart
bents and sho breathos rogular. During
tho prosent tranco her heart has shifted
three times by muscular contraction to the
right side, but this does not appear to havo
affected Its functions. It Is thought that
sho Is hazily conscious of her surroundings
during theso trances, becauso when sho
awoke from tho former sho had somo
vague recolloctlons of whnt had happened
by hor bedside. It Is believed by hor physi
cians that these attacks arc duo to scarll
tlual poisoning during her Infancy.

Pottsviu.i:, Pub. 3. The harmonious
relations which havo been existing between
County Contioller Severn and tlio County
Commissioners since last September, when
tho former took otlice uuder appointment by
Governor Hastings, are badly ruptured and
there is no telling where the war now on will
cud.
At present the gamo la a draw and all con
cerned on both sides aro minus their salaries
pending a solution of tho points raised by
some legal tribunal. The hitch arose over
refusals to countersign warrants for salaries.
When Controller Severn asked tho Commis
sioners to draw an order for $150 for the
January salary of Deputy Controller ltceso
they declined to do so, on the ground that
Mr. Iteeso could not bo recognized under tho
agreement made between the Commissioners
and Controller, whereby tho letter's official
position was recognized.
t)n Saturday afternoon the Commissioners'
clerks piesented their warmuts to tlio Con
troller for their January salaries, and he re
fused to approve or countersign them. Tho
Deputy County Treasurer has refused to pay
any of tho employos until the dispute Is
settled, nieanwhilo all the employes In the
court house and jail under appointment jf
the County Commissioners ore minus their
salaries. Tho Commissioners claim that when
they recognized Controller Severn in his
oilicial capacity they did so with the
understanding that ho was to make
no appointment of a deputy or other
subordinates until aftor tho final disposition
of the test caso pending on the I.iizcrno
county Controllcrship. Tho Commissioners
hnvo summoned County Solicitor Ulrich and
expect to havo a consultation with him this
afternoon,
Controller Sovern, through bis counsel, S.
Hard Edwards, Esq., this morning asked tho
court fora mandamus requiring the County
Commissioners to pay tho salary of the
Deputy Controller, but it will take at least
thirty days bel'oro any result can be at
tained tindor tho proceedings.
