Mrs. Mary P. Maxwell, relict of the late
Capt. Robert Maxwell, of this County, died
at her residence in Pendleton from typhoid
fever on Wednesday morning, 18th ult.
Mrs. Maxwell was an accomplished and
elegant lady, respected and esteemed by all
who had the pleasure of her acquaintance.
She was at the time of her death seventy
nine years of age, and had been for many
years a devoted member of the Pendleton

q Last Saturday night, between II ard -
O'Clock, our citizens were aroused by the
cry of fire. Mr. Harry McGrath, while
riding past Messrs. Brown Bros: store,
which has glass front, noticed blaze in
side, and at once gave the alarm, which
was re-sounded by Mr.. A. G. Means, who
was crossing the square at the time. MIR.
Means ran to the scene, and, with the as
sistance of Mr.. McGrath, broke open the
door. The smoke from the burning goods
was very sitting, but these two gentlemen
went in and began to subdue the flames:
By this time the alarm became general, and
q large crowd soon gathered. The fire had
caught about the center of the west side of
the store, and was rapidly consuming the
goods piled upon the shelves. By hard
work the shelves were soon emptied OF their
contents, and the flames extinguished. A
few minutes later and Anderson would
have had a disastrous confagration. The
fire is supposed to haYe been caused by rats
and matches, as there were several gross OF
the latter piled upon the bottom shelf
where the fire was burning. The damage
to Messrs Brown Bros. stock is estimated
at about $500, which is covered by insu'
rance.
