Says the Hamilton Harris county, Journal.
Last Saturday the residence OF Major George
L. Fitzpatrick. Waverly Hall, was discovered to
be on fire. The discovery was made too late to
stay the progress OF the flames, and all the ef-
forts OF the members Of the household AID of
the BeighbOrhOOd, attracted by the fire alarm
were devoted to saving the furniture and pre-
venting the spread of the fire. Only the furni-
saved aaH
70 the smoke house and two djRcent dairies
which We're entirely consumed. The house ives
a two storied seven room structure, and well
furnished The loss is not less than ~ OCO and is
covered by no insurance. The fire Is supposed
to have originated in an ell Of the house, in
bedroom occupied by two young men and TWO
negro boys The negro boys had pallets upon
piece of bagging, which they relied up each
morning and put away in a corner of the room,
and it is supposed that q spark of
ire was rolled up in the baggipg Sat
urday morning. and that the fire was
communicated to ths house from this
ron of bagging. Major Fitzpatrick ives in Flor
ida at the time. and his wife had been i'll for
several days In her efforts to save some OF
the furniture duTiIg the fire she came near
losing her life. She was rescued from the par
