pASvrLE, Va, July o, 1888.
At Oils o'clock Sunday morning fire broke
out IN farmers warehouse, corner Union
ana High streets. and in an incredibly short
( space OF time the building was destroyed.
Arnett, SneIliugs Il Co.'s large tobacco.
factory on High street next caught and went
TO ashes. together with $4,000 stock OF
manufactured tobacco. 0tner High.strect
factories caught, but were extlnguIshed.
The six store.rooms on the lower floor OF
the warehouse on Union street were occu-
pied--three as storage rooms for leaf tobac-
co, one as a grocery, one rs a clothing store,
and one A. an undertaker's shop. All were
more or less well filed with stocks. The
adjoining double building to the warehouse
caught several times, but was saved With
one side Quilted and the roof broken Ia by
falling walls.
Numerous buildings nesr by caught but
were extinguished. The fire may have start
ed from a lamp explosion in the office, hut
the opinion prevails that II was the work OF
an incendiary who Knew his business well.
