of the contlagration, as dense vol
ume of smoke was visible in the Vi
cinity of Riggs mills.
The fire companies were promptly
at the scene Of action, but owing to a
scanty supply Of hose the engine was
Of little avail. The fire is supposed
to have caught from spark from the
smoke stack falling on tic roof of the
gin house, which, withou. blazing on
the outside, worked its way through
some crack to the inside which was
lined with lint that had been col
lccting there for q long time, and in
a flash the building was wrapped in
flames. It was found impossible to
save the building where the fire orig
mated, and the attention of the fire
department was turned to saving the
other buildings, and such movable
property as could be saved. Nearly
everything was rescued from the
blacksmith shop, and this was the
only building consumed save the one
where the fire originated. In the
gin house and mill, very little was
saved from the flames. But the task
of all was to save q building about
40 feet from the mill, and nearer the
dwelling house Of Mr. Riggs. Here
the efforts of all at last concentrated
as the critical place to stop the
spreading Of the fire. An unsucess-
ful attempt was made TO play upon
the building with the engine, but as
water and hose was found necessary
to its successful operation no good
was accomplished. The building had
already caught when several persons
scaled the roof, and water being
passed to them in buckets, manfully
fought the fire, while the heat was Sc
intense as to blister their bodies.

acquainted with the facts but nothing was done
toward settling the charges, consequently the
