TIME EUREKA CORN PLANTER.
THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,

THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,
Just perfected by II. NJ Smith & CO., accom-
plishes what has always been desideratum in
Corn Planters, namely: absolute certainty as to
the quantity of seed planted, and as to the dis
tance between the hills.
All planters, depending upon brush to keep
back the corn, are liable to variation, as any
press of the seed causes the brush to yield, and
Increases the quantity dropped.
THE EUREKA HAS NO BRUSH.
A new and simple device supersedes the neces-
sity of it, and insures ABSOLUTE REGU-
LARITY in the number of grains deposited.
IT is THE BEST CORN PLANTER IN USE.
The following unsolicited praise, expresses the
opinion of all who have used it:

LOCAL MATTERS.

FIRE THIS MoRNING.-The alarm of
fire this morning was caused by the burn
ing of building at the upper end of the
Tredegar iron works, which was occupied
as stable and o cooper shop. The alarm
was sounded about o'clock from box SO,
located at the Tredegar works, and the ell
tire fire department promptly responded.
The building which was discovered to be
on fire was built mary years ago by Lewis
d. Crenshaw, ESQ.,, as flour mill, and a
portion of it was destroyed by fire during
the war. The basement portion of the
house has been long used by the Tredegar
works as stable, and at the time Of the
fire it contained twelve horses and mules,
nine of which were burned to death, three
having been saved. The upper portion
was used by MIR. VIM. McGruder as a
cooper shop and as place Of storage for
hay and other feed belonging to the Tired
egar works. Mr.. McGruder's loss is esti-
mated at about 81, 500 insurance, 500.
A large stock of barrels, hoop-poles and
other barrel timber was burned, and by the
destruction of the shop over fifty hands are
thrown out of employment.
Besides the loss of mules and horses, the
Tredegar company lose the building and
several hundred bales of hay and other
feed which was stored away in the building,
all of which is probably covered by insur-
ance, the company holding policies in some
fifteen insurance companies. The following
is believed to be a correct list of these COM
panies and the amount of the policies: Pc
tersburg Savings and Insurance company,
1915 Fireman's Fund, $375-Alfriend &
Son, agents Virginia State, a400; Virgil
MIA Fire and Marine, $400; North British,
$500; Andes, $250-D. N. Walker & Co.,
agents; Liverpool and London, $1,000,
Old Dominion, 5000; Montague's agency,
Insurance company, 5000.
Though the loss by this fire was, in COM
parison, insignificant, it is plain that our
city was in danger of almost total destruc-
ton. The wind was blowing from the
southwest, and huge firebrands were car
ried many squares distant, and falling on
tops of buildings set them on fire. Chief
Ainslie stationed one engine on the north
side of the canal, and its services were
more than once required to extinguish
flames thus caused. Among the houses
which were set on fire by the flying brands
were those of the following citizens: Rev.
DR.. Hoge, Fifth and Main; John G. Hob
son, Fifth and Main; ex-Gov. Wells,
Fourth and Main; Abraham Warwick,
Fifth and Grace; W. w. Burgess, Fourth
and Canal; Capt. James L. Capston, Fifth
and Franklin. The roof of the latter was
in bright blaze when discovered, and but
for the superhuman exertions of Professor
Tickatoff, the building must have been con-
sumed. The bridge leading from the
Tredegar works to the north side of the
canal was burnt. ... -........... ......
