About half past one o'clock yester.
day, the residence of w. r. Cooper, in
Mechanicsville, story and a-hslf,
aud very com Portable frame dwelling,
was found TO be on fire., and was laid
Ia ashes before II could be exiin
guished. The fire originated in the
smoke house, which was about ten feet
of from the building. NJ one but
Mrs. Cooper and lhe children were at
home. Mr.. Cooper being over
In the city. When first die
covered, the smoke house was
veil uuder Roadway and being COM
muncated to the dwelling. Toe
alarm was given aud the crowds he
gan to gather.
The work house hands were engaged
at work on McGhee street, close by.
These were brought to the scene by
Bony Craig, guard, and put to work;
aud with the valuable assistance OF
neigbbors and friends who gathered
everything was gotten out OF the
house, and some OF the doors, sash,
etc., saved also.
The fire spread rapidly and was un-
comfortable. Ths nearest house, that
of Mr.. J. E. Price. was saved by be-
role efforts. The steam fire engines
were both brought oul to the creek.
but the hose would not reach, aud
they couldn't get water on in time to
save anything.
The Messrs. Condor kindly tens
dered Mr.. Cooper vacant house In
the neighborhood, aud everybody
turned In and worked with a will, till
the furniture and effects were soon
transferred thereto. Maj. w. r. Tut
tie brought q wagon aud number of
hands from the rolling mill and gave
valuable assistance, and many others
acted heroically, thus rendering the
job quick aud light.
AS to the origin OF the Are, the small
children were accustomed 10 play In q
vacant room ia the smoke house, and 1t
IL ascertalned that they had gotten
hold of some matches and were play =
Ing with and striking them In there
sometime before The fire.
1t was quite serious loss and dis
arrangement to Nj Cooper, who Was
very-cnm fortably and pleasantly siiU-
ated, but fortunately he was insured +,
sufficiently to sIm' st cover the lose.
He held policy of 81 200 on the house
and $500 on the furniture, Insured
with Mr.. E. Dean Dow, agent, In the
North British and the Imperial COM
psnies.

found regret that We hereby announce
the approaching withdrawal of our

effort to manage two large retail
houses with fra OF only two men.
We are now utterly convinced that 1t
Ia impracticable to do this and at the
same time to maintain that perfect
com mand and Knowledge of our bust
ness In all It's details, which alone
makes first class, we'll managed store
possible.
Solely for the reason mentioned, we
will, for The next

KANAwHA AND ITS THRILL
ING STORY.
from the Louisville Courier journal
Just below Kauawha Falls, in
West Virginia, writes correspon-
eBssYt, is an overhanging rock of
txnmense size jutting out about
eaae hundred feet over the seeth-
ing whirlpool, and about the same
height above. This was once the
4:efle of remarkable adventure.
gSe Indians we're in hot pursuit
uf Van Biber, settler and man
0fdis inction in those early times.
He was hard pressed, and all
access 20 the river below aud above
being cut off, he was driven to
ehjs iutiing rock, which proved to
he tie jumping-off place for him.
lie stood on the rock, in full view
af the enemy above and below,
who yelled like demnu- AT the GER
tainty of his speedy capture. He
eteod up boldly, anu with his rifle
Kept them at bay. AS he stood
there he looked across the river
saw his friends his " re with her
babe in her arms-all helpless to
reader assistance. They stood as
If petrified with tereor and amaze
gEEeut. Sac cried at the top of her
voice Leap into the river and
aa Get me y Laying her babe on
the grass she seized the oars and
sysra1g into the skiff alone. AS
she neared the middle OF the river
her husband saw the Indians COM
sag in full force and yelling like
%1a0aons. "Wife, wife," he scream
cd. I'm coming; drop down a
sittIe lower" With this he sprang
from his craig and descended like
so arrow into the water, feet fore
tnost. The wife rested on her
oars moment TO see him rise to
Lac snrface, the little canoe float
ing like cork, bobbing about on
the boiling food. 1t was an aw-
Sat moment; it seemed an age to
Gpcs. Would he ever rise? Her
earnest gaze seemed to penetrate
the depths of the water aud she
etaried her boat farther down the
exaseGm. He rose near her; in a
2E3mant the canoe was alongside
st him and she helped him to
9cT2mble into it amid shower of
Arrows and shot that the baff1ed'
Eatsians poured inc them. The
,9sring wife did not speak q word;
aS%G husband was more dead than
aaiive, and ell depended upon her
strength being maintained till
sAey could reach the bank. This
Caey did, just where she had
started. right where the babe was
sst5H lying, Growing and laughing.
The men pulled the skiff high up
Az the sand, and the wife slowly
wcSse and helped to lift Van Biber
20 his feet. He could not walk,
tsut she laid him down by his
Babe, and then seating herself she
VFept wildly, just as any other
'~gGaan would have done under
the circumstances. That babe is

is called Ivan Biber's Rock" to

To the Death.
N. Y. Sun.

n sickening account of a duel in
Morocco is giving by correspon-
Seat of the Repu6lique Frdncoise.
NRo young men of noble birth
were paying their attentions to
the daughter of a neighboring
sSafef, and AS she showed equal fa-
gor to each of them, it was arrang-
ess by mutual consent that they
should meet III single combat and
11ght duel to the death. The
conditions of the duel were that
Taey should meet on horseback,
each Of the combatants being arm
ed with rifle, revolver, and a
alsgEting knife. They were placed
s. aGndred yards apart, and upon
"A signal given by one of the sec
aE0as, they set their horses at full
gaiiOp and rushed at each other.
For a few moments the spectators
cOuid see nothing but cloud of
dust, from out Of which they heard
TWO successive reports Of q rifle,
aad then a third, followed by the
2acigEiug of a horse. When the
aust had cleared away, a shocking
sight met the gaze of the specta-
t0cs; one of the combatants, con-
sseAled behind his dead horse, was
taking aim at his adversary, who
ssisl remained in his saddle. The
latter spurred his horse and made
il rear, the noble beast receiving
in his chest the bullet meant for
