F1RE.-About o'clock yesterday
morning, fire was discovered in the
two-story building, on Gervais street,
just beyond the Charlotte Railroad,
knownas the Randolph house, owned,
we believe, by a Mr.. Douglas. The
building Was unoccupied, and the fire
was doubtless the work of an incen-
diary. The fircmen we're out, but
owing to the want OF water, their
services were of no avail.
