EXTENSIVE COMPLICATION = SEVEN
HOUSES DEsTRoYED-The alarm about
three o'clock this morning was occa-
stoned by fire being discovered in the
drug store of George Wescb, on Court
street, near Charleston avenue. The fire
burned rapidly and soon enveloped a
saloon on the left and boarding house
on the right, which were totally destroyed.
1t then caught the rear of double tene-
ment frame house ON Madison street, &C.
cupied as saloon and shoemaker shop,
which was partially consumed before the
flames were subdued The upper portion
of O frame house fronting on Charleston
avenue, and occupied by several negro
families, was also destroyed. Nearly all
the buildings destroyed were owned by
Felix Franciola, whose loss is estimated
at $4,000. He is insured for $4,000.
There was an insurance of $4,000 on the
fixtures and stock of Welch's drug store,
which fully covers his loss. The
other sufferers were not insured. The
fire department did good service,
as glance at the scene of the conhagra-
ton attests Fire steamer No. 3, Capt.
John Sgnaigo was first on the spot and
soon poured stream on the burning
building, being quickly followed by the
other engines, but the wooden building
defed their efforts for some time. The
fire was the work of an incendiary.
