TERRELL, Sept. 1l.-[Speclal, las pre-
viously reported the fire last night entirely
destroyed the Houghton block of i've build
ings. The fire is supposed to have been
started by mice getting at box of matches
or spontaneous com bustioD, as no fire had
been in Childress' saddery shop, where the
fire was first discovered, this INNER. They
have a coal oil steam stitching machine, but
it had not been used for week. FOLLOWING
is q list OF the losses and insurance, SO far
as known:
B. M. Childress & Bro. building and
stock, 1O,OO0; insurance on stock, 81 .00O:
building, SO 900
Shortridge & Houghton, stoves and hard
ware, stock, 81 700; insurance about "a .0OO;
the building was owned by J. A. Matheny;
no insurance. -,
The next room was owned by B. r.
Houghton; loss, So 35OO;-no insurance. The
room had just been vacated by Lewis Ihn-
Al. Underwood, dry goods and grocer
les, mostly saved; loss fully covered. Th
building belonged TO A. Zeigler; no insur
ance.
I. L. Griffith, drugs; stock saved in q
damaged condition; lowered BY insurance.
The building was owned by Bond d Cars
well, valued at 81 600; insured for So, 600.
Odd Fellows loss, $500; insurance, $500.
Knightsof Pythias and Knightsoi Honor,
loss, $500 to $1,000; no insurance.
Masons' loss 500; no insurance.
Sunny Cline" printing office. loss,
$1,000 no insurance. This loss will be the
most seriously felt, as the owner and his
family are deaf and dumb, and this is all
they had. :,
Inc Childress block opposite, damaged
$4,000; fully insured.
Damage to storefronts north OF Hough-
ton block were slight by the heat blistering
the paint on the fronts.
Joseph Huffmaster, lawyer, who had his
office in the burned block, lost his library
and furniture, value not known; no lnsur-
a1ce.
This fire will surely spur the people up
to secure wster-works and engines. Inc
engine of the train going west rendered
valuable service by hauling water from the
railroad tank. People worked hard but
every one thought from the first the block
was doomed, ana the Childress block was
saved by almost superhumRn efforts. Had
the Childress block burned, the stores of
B. b. Hoskins and G. L. Jones, in the rear,
must certainly have gone. Fortunately
there was very little wind and that hap
pened to be from a favorable direction.
The insurance losses are as follows:
Springfield, 81, 900; North America, $1,000.
Bivens & Corley, agents.
Home. of New York. $4,000; Phoenix,
