The Herald, Times, Sun and Tribune this morning print the following: "The Southern Associated Press severed at midnight last night nil rela tions with the Associated I'res of Illi nois. It has assumed relations with the United Press which will go iuto eff.ct to day. It will enter the field as the ag gressive ally of the Uniud l'rcss and the uncompromising enemy of the Western organization. Bad faith aud a broken contract furnish the cause for this deter mination of Southern newspaper men." These few sentences summarize the events of the past three days in this city, and the conditions mast be con fronted by the Chicago managers of the Western Associated press when the? met here on December 5. The followng letter is the formal nofce of repudiation all relations between the Southern and Western: "New York, Not. 26, 18'J-t. To Victor Laws m, president of the Associated press ot Illinois. Dear Sir: The Associated pnss of Illinois, having deliberately violated its contract wilh the Southern Associated press, this is to give you official notice that from this date Me will hold no relations of any kind whatsoever with your organi zation. Yours rcspecttullv, A.J. H. Es till, vice-president Southern Associated press." The history of the breach of contract by the western orgnnizatiou which has led to this rupture is neither so long nor so involved that it obscures one siugle fact which has btengrowinginthc minds of newspaper men all over the country ever since the ambitious Chicago mana gers planned til tan mouths ago. in tlnir own vernacular, "To inep the flui r" with the eastern newspapers und tluir alhy, the United press. The fact is this, any contract made by the Asso ciati'd Press of Illinois is made to be broken when It suits the pu pose of its managers to break it. Such a contract was made bv it with the Southern Associated press. One of i s features related to an agreement that to New Oilcans newspapers, the 1'icayuue and Tinu'S Ucmoci.it, should be reioguizcd as members of the South ern Associated press. That agreement was satisfactory to all concerned. Cn I known to the Southern Associated press, the western malingers cntind into a Istciet cmtratt withthtse two news j papers which, in effect wns cal. iil itid to ! deprive the Southern Associated press ol ! its revenues from tin se newspapers. I This ot itself was a violation of the con ! tract between IheSuuthern and Western, j Uther acts of the l itter followed wbicb I made it clear to the southern ucwspnper nun thnt they were in relations with a itiickyset, and the whole subject has been receiving their thoughtful attention lor some months. The Southern associated press held a meeting in Norfi.lk last week, and imme diately thereafter itsexecutivecommittec came to this city to ascertain from President Lawson, who was at the Windsor hotel, the exact attitude of the Western association upon New Orleans question. There were present ut the interview I'ni.ed Stafs Senator Patrick Walsh of the Augusta (Git. I Chronicle, J. II. listill of the Savannah News, T. T. Stockton of the ncks:nville Times Union, J. C.

IJiciil. j 1 he tv isivc unswera and slnlty ground ; of the Western representatives confirmed ; suspicions ol thi Southerners that double dealing was going on. Their indignation was intensified yesterday when they saw a ciicular which had just been sent out by the Western association stating that the members ought to he informed that the Southern associated press bad been guilty of u violation of its contract with the Western. This was adding insult to injury, and the Soutberg determined to cut loose from the Western association. They were fortited iu their determina tion by forcible telegrams recti ved irom the Southern associates to whom they bad communicated the condition of nl lairs. By them they were assured that their nctiou would be heartily approved by the association at a whole, and that equal approval would be given any alli ance which they might make with the United Press. Captuin Evan P. Howell of the Atlanta Constitution was espe cially emphatic in bis view that a discon tinuance of all further relations with the Western and for the beginnine of a fie t for the integrity of the Southern associ ated press were demanded. General Manazcr Walter P. Phillips of the United Press had been keenly alive to the condition of o flairs and through him negotiations were opened with the United Press, these culminated yesterday niter noon at a meeting held in theoffice of the New York Sun where an albunce ofleu tivennd delensiye between the two new associations was formed. The New York Herald, Tribune. Sun and New lorn limes were each repre sented at tnis meeting, and unanimously apptoved the negotiations of General Manager Phillips.

Thin me executive committee prepared a letter to President Lawson and gave the in structions necessary to a prompt sever ance of all relations with the Western at midnight. There are upward ol 40 Southern newspapers that will thus be brought into exclusive relations with the United nrtss.

C., Not. S6.-This was the saddest morning that ever dawned upon Marion. Only one store stands in tbe place, that of J. C. McCurry, the goods being owned by Nichols Bros. The stand ing chimneys, and a few brick walls are grim sentinel reminders of bow the things of this world can be converted into ashes and smoke and fly away. Many goodt were burned after being removed to the Main street, the fire go ing down on one tide of the street and back up on the other. The wind was blowing strongly from the northeast almost the whole day Son day. The fire originated, at ttated be fore, in an old delupidated building called tbe "Ark," near tbe jail, from sparktfrom burning soot. When the churches had gotten about half way through tbe morning services, the fire bells rang out on tbe quiet Sabbath morning air, and tbe worshippers rushed forth to fight fire. The wells, most ot them soon went out. It was a Terr dry time; the wind blew parts of burning shingles through the air, catching on fire buildings several hundred yards in ad vance of the fire fighters. Mt. Ida. one mile from town, caught on fire in many places in a tew minutes after tbe fire be gan, from coals blown through tbe air. Nearly tbe whole business part of town is destroyed. The court bonse wot saved. Men worked, white and black, with desperate energy and tire less will, but nothing could be done to check its course till late in the afternoon when, bv heroic work, after the wind bad subsided, it wat ttopped when it consumed Wm. McD. Burgin's store. The whole population, nearly, was on the streets fighting fire and carrying out goods. Some women were overcome witb grief at the sickening sight. So far as learned no one was injured in the excitement. The community stands appalled at tbe unusual destruction. Some will not be able to rchnild, others will. About 15 families, or about 60 or 70 persons are rendered homeless. But we trust thnt the pluck, energy and a dis position to make the best of things will raise all injured from the ashes. As we can, let us sympathize substantially with the los-rs, as members of our commu nity, as baa already been done, and we believe will continue to be. Onlv brick buildings should go uo on Main street, and now for a good fire company and water works as soon as possible. Mt. Ida is on fire near tbe town, and the glare of the smouldering ruins ia town presented a sad and weird appear ance last night. This is Marion's great est fire. May Heaven help its people to adapt themselves to the present situa tion from every view-point 1 Grapho. JI JIPEU WITH A PABACUUTX. A Young EnKllHlimnu's One Chance for Immortality. Nbw York, Not. 27. At daybreak a daring young Englishman named Harry Minier jumped from tbe center of Brook lyn bridge and, by the aid of a parachute, performed the feat successfully.
