! Correction.
| Rev. j. G.. Hiden, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, in this city, who was
in attendance on the Educational Con
| vention in Raleigh, states that he was
misunderstood by the News in it's re-
port of his remarks on Thursday, rel
alive to the press of this city. He did
not say that the Wilmington papers
had not published anything in refer
ence to the matter, but that no editorial
comments had been matle, simply be-
cause the matter had not been put be-
fore the editors as it should have been
| by those most interested i'll the sue
cess of the movement.
We cheerfully give place to this cor
| rection, believing, as we do, that Mr..
Hiden's remarks were misconstrued on
! the occasion alluded to,
The Fire Last Night.
About II o'clock last night fire was
| discovered issuing from the store of
| Messrs. H. Stolter and N. Bremen,
corner of Front and Ann streets. The
alarm was promptly given and the
members of the Fire Department, with
| their engines and truck, were soon on
the spot. Three streams of water were
brought to bear, but the building
burned freely and was totally de-
stroyed before the flames could be
| checked
The origin of the fire is unknown,
| but there is good reason to believe
that it was incendiary. Those first on
the ground state that key was found
| i'll the lock of one of the doors, with
the handle twisted Off The fire
| burned SO rapidly and SO fiercely that
nothing whatever was saved, The
stock in the store, valued at probably
| $1,000, was all burned on this there
was insurance for 81 500 in the Frank
lin, of Philadelphia, Messrs. Taylor &
Giles, Agents.
The upper floor of the building was
occupied by Mrs. Platt, widow lady
and, sad to relate, she lost everything.
Her loss will probably reach $500 or
81, 900, with no insurance, as far as we
could ascertain.
| The building, which was of wood
and nearly new, was probably worth
about $4,000 It belonged to Mr.. F.
Stolter, but we could not learn if there
was any insurance on it.-Daiiy Jour-
