TWO FIRES YESTERDAY.
Another Attempt to Burn Disrepl
table House on State Street.

Another Attempt to Burn a Disrepu-
table House on State Street.
At II 80 o'clock yesterday forenoon an
alarm of fire was turned in from box No 3,
which brought detail of the fire depart
ment to the three-story wooden tenement
house on State street, east of Abercorn.
The roof was almost entirely destroyed, but
the building was saved. The property is
owned by the Waters estate, of which w.
w. Chisholm is trustee, and the agents who
had the renting Of it are Walthour q
Rivers.
Mr. Walthour said that there was no in
surance on the structure, and it will require
not less than 81 900 to put it in "A condition
TO be tenantable. He considered that the
most material damage is that it had not
burned to the ground, and that appeared to
be the general feeling The estate will not
put 1t IN such repair as will secure respect
able tenants for 1t, and it has been occupied
by motley crowd OF negroes, who, with
their company, made night hideous in the
neighborhood.
On Tuesday night there was a row there,
and citizen living hard by had to send for
policeman to quell the disturbance. When
the fire broke out the greater part of tie
tenants were picking peas in the suburban
truck farms, or picking blackberries in the
country, aud the first knowledge they had
Of the fire was when they got home aud
found their furniture in the back yard.
Some of them got in too late to find a place
TO house their belongings, and when a re-
porter visited the place they were seated in
GlEAirs by their plunder.
The fiIe evidently broke out in the second
hoor, destroying the third floor and roof.
Mr.. Chisholm being out of town, it was not
learned whether the house will be repaired
or demolished. The fire is believed to have
been the work of an incendiary, and when
the character Of the place is considered it is
not strange.
