four o'clock this morning. and before i;
could be extinguished destroyed the NJ
+. Church. II. ID. Abdel's residence,
Mrs. Shock ley y former residence, j..
Il. Traders residence and W illoughby's $
livery stables. The fire originated
somewhere between the residence of X.
ID. Abdel and Willoughby's livery
stables. AS soon az possible the engine
was brought out and two streams OF
water thrown upon the flames. In less
than thirty minutes from the time the
fire was discovered the buildings men
toned were In flames and burning most
fercely, famed by strong northeastern
ly wind. Owing to the fact that the
| fire had started almost in the centre OF
the town, where the houses are close
together, the gravest apprehensions
busines portion Of the town could be
saved.
The loss is considerable, but the
exact amount caunot be definitely as.
certained. The M. E. Church South
cost abOvt "a. 600 Insured for about
g., 900. r. ID. Abdel's residence was
worth 81, 800 /; no insurance. f..
Traders residence, 81 200; not positive
whether insured or not. Willoughby 8
livery stable, large building, cost
about g., 900 insurance not known.
A grand sight was witnessed when
the flames were running up the steeple
of the M. L. Church South, over one
hundred feet high. When the large
columns that supported the tower gave
way, and the tower fell a mass Of char
red and burning fragments, millions OF
sparks shot heavenward, illuminating
the whole town. The furniture and
organ of the church were saved, as was
also nearly ali the furniture In the
buildings that were burned. The loss
| falls heavily on some.

A Little boy Shot.

The residents on Mad ison street, be
tween Sixth and Seventh, were throw
] into a state OF intense excitement abou
,, 4 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. by Q sud
den report from gun in the house O
Andrew l.. johnson, No. 623 Madison
street. Several leighbors rushed int
the house and Immediately learned thai
an accident had occurred, and little
| Harry l.. johnson, who was only three
years old, was severely injured by re-
ceiving the contents of q blank cart.
ridge right in the eyes and face.
| The shooting was purely accidental
and happened in this way. The gun
which il breech loader, had been bor.
rowed seine time ago by John Barker
and Tuesday it WAS returned to Mr.
johnson. A grown brother was al
home at the time and. received
the gun, hut gave it to his younger
brother, Edw in, who Ia about IL years
old, to take up stairs and place it in 9
closet. The boy started up stairs with
the gun, followed by his younger broth
err, and upon arriving In the room, be
discovered a box of blank cartridges
which proved too great a temptation,
and he at once proceeded to load the
gun, with his little brother standing
IN close proximity to the end of the
barrel. While thus engaged in fitting
the cartridge in the gun, the hammer
accidentally went down and little
Harry received the contents in his face
burning him quite severely, while
his face was filed with the powder
which may mark him for life. One ol
his eyes was also injured, but it is
thought that the sight will be preserv.
cd unimpaired. --.
The circular piece of pasteboard,
known as the wad, which was blown
from the cartridge, struck the boy on
the neck, infiicting q severe wound
hich Is considered the mostdangerous
After the accident happened, Miss
Liz ie Hinton was the first person te
reach the injured boy. and hastily ts.
king him in her arm8, she carried him
down stairs TO his mother, who was sc
badly frightened at what had happened
that she was unable to move. DIR.
Smith Cooper, DIR. Grimshaw and DR.
Snitcher were hastily summoned te
examine the child's injuries, all o
whom soon arrived. DR.. Suitcher
being the family physician, the cast
| was left in his charge, and he at once
administered the proper remedies te
relieve the suffering child. The little
fellow was very restless all night, and
suffered with a high fever, but no seriOu,
apprehensions are felt over his copdi
tion. He was carefully watched during
the night by his anxious mother and
Miss Hinton.

Tic and MOnuments.

One ofthe latest and . permane,
King street improvement 10 the ne,

northeast corner OF Ninth and Kim
streets. Mr.. Davidson bought th'
vacant lot, a.. by 40 feet some tim
ago, and upon 1t now stands substau
tial three story and basement house
dimensions 44.5 by 40 feet. Strength
and durability were objects on th'
erection OF the building and the wall

Mr.. Davidson will use tho base ement
for his working department, and the
flist story for his ware and salesroom.
The second and third stories are unfur.
nished, but would make admirable
school and lodge rooms. several parties
having already been looking after theul
for those purposes. Mr.. Davidson,
having opened up his wareroom only
few days ago, has not yet got 1t filled
with o large stock. He has, however.
quite q large stock Of slate and colored
marble mantels, supplied from the
Eastern States. He has some yery
beautiful and highly polished mon1-
ments. Those brought from Concord.
New Hampshire, are gray color, have
. fine grain, and admit of q beautiful
polish.
A variety brought from Quincy,
Illinois, are coarser grained but admit
Of . brighter polish. A red granite
from Aberdeen, Scotland, is . very
beautiful monument. THE last summer
Mr.. Davidson was over In England that
being his native country, and while
there he ordered quite q large variety
of very beautiful tiling. These tiles
have within few years past become
very popular as they make beautiful
finish around hearths and fre. places,
and they are also now extensively
used for making tops for toilet and
other tables. The English make of
tiles is 90 exact that they fit together
30 closely that the joints can scarcely
be seen. They are very highly colored
with characters burnt in aud made per.
manent. Some of them represent
flowers, some history, biography or the
drama.
Mr.. Davidson also has . supply of
American tiling that compares favora-
bly, with English tiling, but Licking
in some respects the YIN metricai marks
of superior workmanship. Mr.. David.
son informed us that he paid go per
cent. duty on the English tiling, and can
still sell them as cheap as the American
tiling. The difference OF GO per cent. is
caused by the cheaper labor Of Eng
land. Such tiling can only be made as
cheap in this country when American
labor is brought down 10 level with
English labor.
Mr.. Davidson expects to do large
business in the sale of tiling, as they
cannot only be used in many capacities,
but are highly ornamental as an article
of furniture. Mr.. Davidson Is TO be
congratulated upon his enterprise,
which. it is hoped, will be remunera .ive
to him.
