Terrific Fire

Business Houses and
Residences a COM
plete Wreck.

This city was visited, on last
night and Sunday morning, with
disaster unequaled in magnitude
since its first origin. A fire broke out
in a frame building in the rear of
Kincannon's Tin and Queensware
store on Franklin street, between
Second and Third. The alarm was
given about half past eleven, p. NJ,
yesterday, and before help could
arrive the fire had attacked all the
surrounding buildings, first some
other frame buildings between
Franklin and Commerce streets,
and very soon the main building
of Kincannon's. From this it spread
with appalling rapidity to the adj
joining stores, travelling more rap
idly west than east in consequence
of the number of frame buildings in
thatdirection. Very soon the whole
length of the square, from AlwelPs
block to Second St., was in flames.
AIwell's block being a three story
brick edifice with a slate roof, and
considerably higher than the neigh
boring stores was an obstacle to its
progress farther south.
Soon, however, the falling in of
the houses on the south side Of
Franklin. with a freshening breeze
from the south carried the flames TO
the north side of Franklin, and the
grocery of NJ. Sullivan and the
Saloon of Charles Lehman were
on fire. This carried the confiagra-
ton to Strawberry alley, where it
consumed the block of offices in
which were the offices of Smith &
Lurton, Gen. w. A. Quarles and
other professional gentlemen are
situated; but advanced rapidly
eastward, burning the Court House
to a complete ruin, together with
the engine house, Chancery Clerks
office, ETC., and was stopped by MIR.

ClarIssville's Great Blaze.
Nashvllle American Of snndnr.


At half-past II O'Clock last night
a reporter of the American went to
the Western Union office in the hope
of aScertaining whether the Hunt
vile, Ala, murderers had been
lynched; but the Huntsville office
had closed. He was about to depart
when a telegram, addressed to Chief
Operator J. B. Morris, came in in
forming him that a big fire was
raging at Clarksyille, and that it
would in all probability consume
the telegraph Office. Kincannon,
Wood d Co.'s store, and the whole
block, Of which it was a part, was
in flames. Itwas in the next square
to the telegraph office.
AT this moment a dispatch came
for Capt. Stockell. but as soon as the
operator at Clarksville had sent it,
he glided out of his office. The
American reporter, urging the oper-
ators to get a special for the Ameri-
can if possible, volunteered TO carry
the message to Capt. StOckell that
they might be afforded a better
opportunity to catch the operator ut
Clarksville when he should return
to his office.
The message to Capt. StOckeli was
from Mayor LigOn and Thomas Hy-
man, Chief of the Clarksville Fire
They asked for two
engines and plenty of hose.
On the reporters return he dis
covered that it woul be almost inn
possible to get a special. The wires
were occupied in giving orders for
special trains. The operator at
Bowling Green said an engine
would be ready at Gallatin at any
time it might be designated. A
to Agent R. G.. Butler
from General Superintendent O. NJ.
at Evansville, authorized
him to send out a special train as
soon as it could be got ready.
Tire last dispatch was that the
fire was down by the river, and
that unless an engine arrived, it
would burn until noon to-day.
The Stockell engine and /, 900 feet
of hose started out at 2:30 this morn
ing with a clear track for Clarks-
vile, accompanied by two special
Representatives from the American
to write up the full details of the
fire. They will reach Clarksville
about 5 O'Clock this morning.
