Tuesday afternoon, about three O'Clock,
narrowly escaped being the scene
of terrible conilagration. AT that hour a
fire was discovered in the old glue factory,
belonging TO Ephraim T. Walton, Of the
firm OF Walton, Whann Il Co., on Liberty
street, below the railroad For some time
past il has been used as a store room for hay,
and contained at the time about Ave tons of
hay belonging to James White. Adjoining /
it was stable on the same property, con-
tanning about two tons of hay, belonging TO /
Patrick McDermot, and also some belonging |
to Mr.. White. II also contained buggy, |
hay-cutter and plow, belonging to Mr.. |
White. The fremen responded promptly |
10 the alarm, and were speedily on the |
ground, but owing TO the iphammable char
acter of the buildings, they were both so
completely enveloped in flames as To render
all efforts to save them in vain. The wind
blew the flames directly toward row Of
frame dwellings fronting on the railroad,
close to the burning buildings, belonging TO
a col0red man named Jesse Cork, and others.
Finding their endeavors to save the two
buildings in vain, the firemen directed
all Their energies TO the surrounding pro-
perty. Chicken houses and outbuildings
were destroyed, but although the dwellings
were several times on fire, the flames were
suppressed and little damage done
The loss from the fire amounts TO about
$l500, of which about $1,000 tails on MIR.
| Walton, $500 ON MIR. White, and $40 ON
Patrick McDermott.
The fire is supposed 10 have been the
work Of an incendiary, as suspicious look
ing individual has ON several occasions been
ordered from the premises, and once swore
revenge for some laneIea injury.
