As he was in an intoxicated condition
his services were not required, and
when Mr.. William Fl. Clark, one OF

to lead him out, he turned on Clark
and both fell over the anvil into
the furnace, Fortunately some colored
men came to the assistance of Mr..
Clark aud released him from his nm.

A Destructive Fare.

A destructive fire occurred at Alvan
Aliens brick yard, located near thu
Wilmington & Northern Railroad,
about mile beyoud the city limits,
about + 20 o'clock last night, which oc-
casioned considerable loss Of property
and valuable machinery. As the work,
men had all quit work and no persons
reside in the immediate vicinity, he fire
was not discovered until 1t had gained
considerable headway.
The first to discover the blaze was
William Wilson, but he was unable TO
eztinguish 1t. when a messenger was
quickly dispatched to the city and an
alsrm sounded from box No. 20, Second
and Jackson streets. The fire evident
ly started from hot journal box on the
counter shaft near t., engine room, and
communicating to the large frame shed
tho flames spread like lightning and
soon the building was wrapped in
flames. Tho fire continued on and
spread to the engine and boiler room,
the sand house and the sheds under
which the bricks are placed to dry.
At this point it looked as though the
entire plant would be destroyed, but
the timely arrival Of a few OF the en-
ployees and others succeeded in staying
the progress Of the flames by tearing
down the ends OF the sheds adjoining
the burning building.
The buildings were almost consumed
before the fire companies arrived, but
the Weccacoe and Reliance went into
service and poured water on the burn
ing buildings for some time. Among
the property seriously damaged was a
boiler and 40-horse power engine, tw"
clay tempering machines, two new
brick machines, steam sand roller, a
grinder and seive. The loss by fire will
probably foot up to nearly SO 600, on
which there Ia an insurance of about
Sc, 900. As the brick business is now at
it's height, the fire will seriously nter-
fere with tho manufacturing, the loss
in this respect being quite large. II
will take nearly month to repair the
damage and in the meantime a number
OF men and boys will be thrown out Of
emDlOyment.
