THE FIRE.
Splendid Work by the Fire Department
Last Night.

A fire broke out about o'clock yes
terday morning in small frame
building on Houston, between Tenth
and Eleventh streets, owned by w. IL.
Maddox and ]. M. Hartsfeld, and &C.
cupied by Wright Bros. as grocery
store, and the Georgia bakery. Per-
sons in the vicinity and in fact all over
the city saw the bright light caused by
the flames sometime before the fire
alarm was turned on. consequently
the building was i'm full blaze before
the department turned out. The firing
of pistol was the first indication of
the fire, and this was promptly fol-
lowed by the alarm. In Il few minutes
the Daggett Hose company No. was
throwing water on the flames, closely
followed by the Protection company.
The flames had by this time com.
municated to the adjoining building,
occupied by DR.. l.. Karo as a drug
store, and the attention of the tiremen
was turned towards it. Fireman Don
Adams, with the aid of Holloway
extinguisher, did good work in the
drug store, but in fall he received
while kicking in the door, his hand
was very badly burned by coming in
contact with some hot glass. The
flames were soon extinguished and the
work reflects great credit on the fire
department. The walls of the grocery
store were left standing, but the build.
ing is utterly ruined and will have to
be torn down. Both buildings were
the property of Messrs. Maddox and
Hartsfield and the total loss will prob
ably amount to $500. They were in
sured in the Commercial company of
California for 81 900, but only $500 was
on the destroyed building, conse-
quently they will lose about $500 on it.
The grocery stock of Messrs. Wright
Bros. was total loss, valued
at $500 insurance $1,000, in
the Merchants of Newark Co.
The Georgia bakery, owned by Car
son d Lochridge, was valued at 81 900.
No insurance. DR.. Karo was insured
for $500 in the Merchants OF New
ark company, which amount will prob
ably cover his loss.
Cameron's lumber yard was close to
the fire and ii was feared at first that
the flames would communicate to il,
but the splendid work done by the
firemen prevented this. Fire.
man James COPYRIGHT of the hook
ladder company was compelled to cut
a telephone wire in order to get lad
der against the Karo building, which
he did by shooting it in two with his
pistol.
Considering the lateness of the alarm
the tiremen deserve much credit for
their quick and decisive work. The
engineers at the water-works also de-
serve praise for the fine pressure of
water at such an hour of the night.
Again The GAZETTE is pleased to say
the city should he proud of its volun-
teer fire department..
