Fire Record,

THE LATE BURN AT EAsTLAND.
EAsTLAND, March Especial. +
Eastland was, on the night OF the End
instant, the scene of q very destructive
fire, leaving the entire east side of the
public square heap Of ruins.
The fire originated in the brick house
occupied as q dry goods and grocery
store, by II. Eversole.
The cause OF the fire is not definitely
known.
Eversole's entire stock was destroyed
as the fire had made considerable pro
gress before 1t was discovered.
Adjoining this house on the south
was wooden building, occupied by Il
| A. Hill, furniture dealer, which wal
soon In flames.
The north room of the brick building
was occupied by j. p. Shannon & Co.
and their large stock of dry goods anC
groceries was almost entirely con
sumed.
Next on tho north was the large store
house Of ]. Ii. Calhoun, and being far
thest from the origin OF the fire, the en-
ergetic action of the clerks, W. l.. Cal
houn and II. $. Schmick, assisted by
the large crowd OF friends who respond
ed to the first alarm, saved a large part
Of their goods.
Iu6 uWelllnB mousse Of Mr. y. l.. Snan-
non, which stands Immediately behind
tho brick store, was also burned.
On the building occupied as n furni.
ture store, there was no insurance. The
owners, Messrs Scott d Hill, have men
at work this morning, clearing away the
rubbish TO erect a new building.
The others all have more or less in
surance, and as soon as business is I'D
justed with the insurance companies,
will again build and open up for bus
mess.
Senator Calhoun is home from Austin,
being summoned by q telegram an
nOuncing the burning of his store house.
After giving institutions tor the manage
ment of his business no will return e
his seat in the senate.
