A blaze starting shortly after 11 last night engulfed most of a Peters Street block in Atlanta, damaging Thomson Bros Cooley Nash stables and numerous nearby structures. About 50 horses burned or saved, with estimates around $50,000 in losses. An incendiary theory centers on a white man seen near Thomson Bros. moments before the fire. Firefighters fought the blaze for hours, keeping other roofs from igniting as box cars on railroad tracks were damaged. A late report suggested an elderly woman may have perished, though unconfirmed.
