The question arises whether the wording of the
policy. and the placing of the property in a diff
ferent but better place in the building, without
the assent of the company, viates it
Il is stated that Thos k Ceary, of Morgan
County. had about $40 900 worth OF meat in the
building, aud that Mr. KInworthy, OF Thorntowr,
had the product of thousand hogs ard about
ore hundred cattle, but We are not advised
whether they we're insured.
There are several reports in regard to the orr
gin of the fire. but they cannot be traced to
reliable sources There had been no Waterman
employed for months. On Saturday. the
building had been thoroughly cleared of all
shavings snd iuf ,mable materials. There had
been FIRE in the house during the day. Sew
eral OF the workmen. engaged on the premises,
had been around the building only few minuie e.
before the alarm was given. without discerning
any signs OF fire. Ii is said that some one stand
ing in or near Carlise's Mill. saw the first signs
OF fire in the building through the windows. and
man inside, which, if verified. will confirm the
suspicion, IL not the general belief. that It was
the work of an incendlary; but Mr.. KIngen can
not think OF any one who would be ar such malice
towards him. The loss from whatever cause. is
y serious calamity TO the community. The
establishment gave employ ment to large num-
Der o. hands. and the enterprise OF this firm was
contributing largely to increase tne general
business OF the city.
