Richmond, 20. The noon passenger train
from Augusta to-day set two fires. The first,
the house of Alpheus Small, Just out of the
village. Mrs. Small was alone in the house.
A strong wind was blowing. She saw the
sparks from the engine light on the roof, but
could not reach them with appliances at hand
and had time to save only q few articles of
furniture. The Tempest company was
promptly on hand and saved the outbuild-
ings and soap factory. Loss from $1,000 to
$500. Insured in the .Etna of Hartford for
500.
The second was small vacant building,
which was all in flames before discovered.
The sparks from this set stable on fire on
Lincoln street, and the strong wind at the
time threatened the destruction of the entire
street, but was happily prevented by the ex-
ertion Of the neighbors, with the aid of small
hand force pumps.
