The Work of the Flames In Anderson Du-
ring the Past Week.

The Work of the Flames In Anderson Du-
ring the Past Week.
Last Thursday morning about five
o'clock the fire alarm was rung from the
Court House bell. The fire department
responded promptly, to find the store
room occupied BY Mr.. s. M. VanWyck
SO furniture store on fire. The wind was
blowing at a terrible rate from the west,
every thing was dry, and the furniture
store being filed with such articles as
were easily ignited, all efforts to extin-
guish the flames were Intellectual. Our
firemen did faithful service from the very
beginning, but the flames spread SO rapidly
that Messrs. Brownlee & Browns store,
which adjoined the burning building, was
also consumed, together with its contents.
It was exceedingly fortunate that the
wind was from the west. for 1t is due to
that fact chiefly that the fur.her spread of
the fire was prevented. At one time
Bleckley, Brown 6 Fretwell's store was
considered in great danger, but this fear
was soon allayed. Masonic Hall was also
in peril. 1t was next to Brownlee 81
Browns Store.
Every thing in VanWyck's store was
lost. He had his goods insured for s., 500.
The value of his stock is said to have
been about $4,000. Loss to Mr.. VanWyck
about 81, 500. Brownlee & Browns stock
was also estimated at near $4,000, on
which they had $1,000 insurance, making
their loss about 81 400.
The burnt buildings belonged to the
estate of the late Ezekiel Norris. 1t was
insured for $1,400 which will nearly or
quite cover the loss.
The fremen deserve great deal OF
praise for their untiring efforts to control
the fire. The Rough and Ready Company
merited special mention on this occasion.
They were faithful unto the end. But for
the fire department there is no telling
what would have been the result of the
fire.
Brownlee & Brown will soon open
out with a new stock Of goods in the
Masonic Building, which is to be fitted up
for them at once. These are young men
of character and energy, and deserve
success. 1t is pretty hard on them, just as
they are starting, to suffer such severe
loss. When they open up our citizens
will give them liberal patronage.
Mr.. YanWyck will open new stock of
furniture as soon as he can perfect his
arrangements and order his furniture.
The store rooms will be repaired at once,
with some improvements.
The flames from the store rooms had
just been placed under control when
another alarm of fire came from River
Street. It came from the residence of
Mr.. Samuel Brown, which had been dis
covered on fire. This was about three
o'clock. Some think this fro originated
from spark from the burning store
rooms, which were about three quarters
of mile off. Others think 1t caught from
spark from the chimney. Mr.. Browns
house was so far from the square that the
fire companies could do very little good,
the flames having gained great headway
before they could arrive, and there being
no cisterns in reach. Most of the con-
tents of the house were saved. Mr..
