FIDE IN BONHAM.
Charles Doss’ Residence De*
stroyed.
[Bonham News Extra.]
Bonham, Texas, Sept. 1.
A few minutes after 2 o’clock this
afternoon the town was startled by
the alarm of fire.
The lire proved to be at Charley
Doss’ residence, on the block south
of the new chinch, in the northwest
part of town.
By the time the crowd reached the
building tlie Haines were bursting
out through the roof, and it was evi-
dent at a glance that nothing could
save it.
They got out part of the furniture
and household goods from the lower
story, but piled them so near by that
most of them were afterwards burnt.
The house was a two-story dwell-
ing, which cost about $3,500 It
was accidentally liied by the chil-
dren playing with matches in the
upper story.
Mr. Biggerstafl’s house, on the
next lot east, was barely saved with
the greatest difficulty, and probably
could pot have been saved at all but
for the fact that the wind veered to
tiie south when the flames were
highest and hottest.

“The Russians, from their batter-
ies behind Sadonu, opened tire about
9 o’clock a. in. on the advancing
1'urks. The Tuiks steadily ad-
vanced and entered the burning vil-
lage of Sodana. By 10 : 30 o’clock
the retreating Russians were hotly
pressed. They retired precipitately
to Kai assail, where they made a vig-
orous stand. Sabit Pasta created a
diversion by attacking [laidarkoi.
They made splendid practice at the
advancing Turks and Egyptians, but
these cleverly opened out and ad-
vanced to Lie right and left oi the
village in really workmanlike style.
By 4 o’clock Karasan was in Haines.
The Russians gradually gave way,
and the Turks redoubled the energy
of their attack.
“In ten days the Russians have
lost the magnificent double position
of the Lou and Karahom. It is
impossible to tell what forces the
Russians had engaged, nor can their
losses yet be estimated.”
Petrified Man.
The Austin Statesman says: A
Mr. Lewis 1L Shelton, living at Syc-
amore Spring, 011 Barton creek, sev-
en miles from Austin, brought to
diis city yesterday the petrified
ireasl of a man, which he left at Dr.
Grant's dental office. The shape ol
1 lie breast and ribs is perfect, and
:here is no doubt that the object e\-
libited is the breast ot u man of gi-
mt size. Mr. Shelton says he has
t home the petrified collar hone be-
longing to the same man, and the
other half of the breast, all of which
:e picked up on his place. He also
says that twenty miles south of Aus-
in there is in a cave a petrified man
entire, and that the man is sitting
m a stone with a gun across his lap,
he gun being also petrified, lie has
written to relatives who know
where the cave is that contains these
strange curiosities to get infoimation
about it. Mr. Shelton has visited
several old mines in this portion of
lie State which were worked long
years ago by the Mexicans.
The Alabama and the llatteras.
A REMINISCENCE OK THE WAR,
Editor Daily Sews:
The (ieath of Captain Seinmes, of
the famous Alabama, announced in
your columns a few days since,
brings freshly to mind one of the
boldest acts pertoimed by him dur-
ing the war:
On the 11 tli of January, 1863, our
regiment (Byron’s) was stationed at
Foit Point, Galveston Island. About
3 p. in, that day' we discerned the
smoke of a steamer apparently ap-
proaching the blockading fleet from
the southwest. The fleet consisted
at that time of five yessels of war,
carrying in the aggregate seventy-
five guns. 'The vesseis lay out in
the mouth of the bay, about five
miles from tis, an I the same distance
from the city. The Brooklyn was
the Hag ship, and carried more than
twenty guns herself, souieot them of
the heaviest calibre.
The strange steamer being hull
down, wc could oulv judge ot her
movements by tiie smoke, which
seemed to curl lazily up in the at-
mosphere. In a short time this in-
dicated that instead ot coming di-
rectly to tiie licet she was slowh
passing in the direction of New Or-
leans, but quite soon she tacked
. gain, and retraced her track to the
southwest, moving very slowly ail
the while, and at times appearing to
remain motionless on the water.
By this time the movements of the
mysterious steamer had attracted the
attention ot the entire force ol us
land lubbeis, and the fortifications at
tiie Point were soon crowded with
our men, all watching vvitii intense
interest that dark column of smoke
out 011 the smooth waters of tiie
Gulf. But if the strange movements
of this vessel had attracted so much
interest with us, it had created a yet
livelier interest among those ot the
Hect. We could see the signals ot
the Brooklyn, and the boats all In-
can to move around, not unlike a
thick of ducks when they hear the
sharp snap of a gun cap, and in a
short while the llatteras turned her
how seaward and steered straight
out tor the stranger.
“What is it.'” “Who can it he?”
“Is it the ‘290’?” “Would the Ala-
I Hama dare come so near such a fieet
j as that lying there?” “Why, he is
| daring the whole fleet to knock a
chip oil his shoulder.” Such were
| some of the questions and exclaim-
] tions that rapidiv passed among our
I boys. All was excitement; our
evening dress parade was omitted;
I officers and men only intent on this
] new feature of war to them—a naval
i battle.
The sun sank low in the west, his
last rays biinging the whole pano-
rama before us out in bold relief.
There lay the fleet, the upper rig-
ging of the vessels thronged with
sailors and marines ; beyond them
the llatteras, moving out to see that
mysterious stranger and meet a
watery grave ; and beyond all, that
dark column of smoke, now seeming
to move in the arc ot a circle.
Galveston has no twilight. With
the last rays of the sun daylight was
gone, and a calm, star-lit night was
upon us, but still we stood on the
banquette of the fort, peering as far
out in the night as we could, and
listening with beating hearts for tiie
| first gun. At length, about S o’clock
j p. m., a broad flash of lightning lit
| up the heavens away in the south-
j west, followed by a reverberation
j that made the whole island throb
! and quiver as if in an earthquake.
| And then a wild Rebel yeli went uo
on the night air, to be repeated
again and again as those broadsides,
in rapid succession, reached our
ears.
Cant. Semines carried one im-
merse gun for the size ot his vessel,
and at every broadside from him the
quiver of the earth could he plainly
lent. The engagement lasted only
thirteen minutes. Soon silence and
darkness reigned on the water, hut
all night long little groups stood
around our camp fires, eager to
catch the first sight of the fleet in
the morning. Should the fleet all
lie there, then our friend had paid
dearly, perhaps, for thus daring to
beard the lion in his den, as it were;
if not, we argued then he was safe.
When the morning mists lifted
there lav the fleet, hut there was
only three in number. That told
us the story as plain as words could
have done, and tiie morning sunrise
was greeted as gladly by us as it was
liy the proud commander of the Al-
abama and her gallant crew, as she
saucily plowed the waves of the
Gulf a hundred miles away, the
commander and living crew of her
antagonist prisoners ot war on her
deck, and that antagonist herself
sunk in twenty fathoms of the deep
forever. Louis.
