CINCINNATI, September 3.-Shortly be-
fore 8 o'clock this afternoon fire, from un-

Oh the south. In less than fif
teen minutes ali the buildings were d
mass OF flames. Mary Flynn, working
on the third floor OF the warehouse,
jumped to the ground and broke her ley
and received internal injuries. Gus Haber
employed on the third floor managed to get
down The stairway but fell unconscious on
tho tipt floor. His head and face were
buried almost to crisp. He was removed
to hospital. He will die. Mary Meinken
and Stella Meirs were cut off from the
stairs on the secopd floor. They jumped
to the pavement safely. They said another
girl was on the same floor afraid to jnnr.

We regret to see that the three
Democratic Aldermen of Raleigh,
who refused to 60 into caucus with
their brethren, seem to think their
conduct is somewhat justified by the
fact that in their estimation F. H.
Busbee was unpopular with great
part of the people.
And they accuse him of a stu
pendous crime! They say that he
has in the past eight years received
about four thousand dollars of the
peoples money No wonder that the
streets of Raleigh in the Winter
months are worse than the roads on
the Roanoke, when the city remu-
aerates her attorney so handsomely
Four thousand dollars for eight
years servicesl We expect to hear
soon that Mr.. Busbee has presented
the King of Italy with $4,000
horse to match the one that Garrett
has sent him.
We don't know whether Mr.. Bus.
bee is popular in Raleigh or not. Ii
he is not, there is nothing startling
in the fact. He is one of the leading
lawyers of the place, and a lawyer
who does large practice in coun'
ty is very apt to make enemies. Men
Of strong and positive characters
will have some enemies, but they will
have strong friends.
We remember that Mr.. Busbee,
when Elector a few years ago, led
the ticket in the State.
We know, too, that he is one of the
strongest and truest Democrats in
the State. He is what we term en-
phatically Democrat of the right
stamp.
When the members of the Return
ing Board from this county were in
dicted in the Federal Court, Mr.
Busbee and Col. Fuller came to theil
rescue, and they both refused to re-
ceive one dollar for their services
When the Enfield and Scotland
Neck poll holders were indicted, they
defended them also, and it was with
reluctance that they received fee
Wherever the party has demanded
his services, Mr.. Busbee has gone
and We think it ill becomes men Of
his native county to endeavor to in
jure him.
