The alarm of fire was sounded last
night at about IL 80 o'clock. IT.
came from kitchen on the premises OF
Mr. w. L. Higgins, on Fourth street, be-
S"een Dock and Orange, which, when we
arrived on the scene, was completely en-
veloPed in flames. From the kitchen
1t rapidly communicated to O similar
building just north of it and
attached to the residence of Mr.. ". r.
French, and soon both Mr.. higgins and
Mr.. French's house were in flames.
The fire department, both white
and colored, were on the SPOT as
promptly as circumstances would admit,
andall labored earnestly to save the houses
which were burning. All that was posi-
BILE. was done to save thu buildings, but
TINS could not be accomplished, as the fire
had gained too great he idway, and the re,
suit was the loss of the two fine residences,
with all of their i'm mediate outbuildings.
large number of citizens gathered
promptly on the spot, and these, among
whom were prominent several col
ored men, ct once entered the houses
and removed the furniture, &C., contained
therin, to the opposite side of the street.
Much of the furniture was badly broken
and damaged in it's removal, but
this unavoidable, as the fire spread
SO rapidly that those engaged in the
work were often in danger from the
flames and smoke. When Mr.. HIGGINS first
awoke, bis kitchen was in full blaze, and
he at once hurried his family, as they
were, to a place of safety, and Mr.. French's
wife and children were not aware of their
danger until the flames had approached the
house.
The origin OF the fire is euveloped in
some mystery. The alarm was only given
when the flames were bursting from the
roof OF Mr.. Higgins kitchen and that
gentlemen says that, when he awoke, the
kitchsn was in a blaz2. The colored wo-
man WHO slept there was at church last
night and says that, vixen OF her way
