A DISASTROUS FIRE.
The Riggs Planning Mil, at
MouudsyiIIe, Burned,
C4UsEOF THE FIRE UNKNOWN.
A Serious Loss TO the Town ms well
asa Heavy oneto the o%wneF-The
Loss $4,000, only Partially
Covered by Insurance,

The most destructive tire that Mounds.
vile has experienced for some time oc-
CURED yesterday morning a few min
utes before s o'clock, by which the large
planning mill belonging to H, NJ Riggs,
Of that city, was completely destroyed,
The workmen had just got the place
cleaned up well, preparatory tocopmenc.
ing their weeks work, when the alarm
was given, The flames spread so rap
idly that the workmen in the second
story barely escaped with their lives, not
having time to take with them their
tools, or even their coats and hats, In
less than thirty minutes after the fire
caught the building was burned to the
ground, together with everything in 1t,
1t is hard TO realize how rapidly It
spread, and 1t is no exageration to say
that almost in an instant the flames
were leaping through the building and
bursting out OF every door and window,
licking up everything In their way. The
mill was full Of finished lumber, several
large orders being ready for shipment,
BY almost superhuman efforts the fire
was prevented spreading to the piles Of
lumber in the yard. Mr.. Riggs loss Ia
not less than $1,000, with $500 insur-
ance. Mr.. Oscar Wright had last week
Just placed an insurance OF $1,000 upon
the building and its contents,
Herye Wade and Reuben link each
lost a chest OF tools valued at 500, and
William Riggs $50 worth Of tools,
Great sympathy is felt for Mr., Riggs.
He Is an industrious, hard,worklng
young man, and had built up q nice
trade, The machinery was iirst-class
and his work gave complete satisfaction.
While his loss hits him hard, yet it is
hoped he will build up another mill, for
It was a great convenience 10 the people.
How the fire caught Ia not known.

Now n word as 10 how the tournament
seems T. one who knows nothing about the
game. on each table there is what Is called
o pair Of tumble clocis-two nickel Yankee
clocks nailed 10 an ornate seesaw board Of
olive wood one clock being always in the air
ard ticking violently while the other is down
almost on It's s, IL, dea ! aud noisele-s. Eacn
player must r1ako fifteen moves in an hour,
therefore each player has a clock which he
tllts up and sets going whenever it Is his turn
10 play. The clocks al tell a different time.
but that makes no difference. Since the
starting movement Of each Is recorded and
every play OF every player is also Oh record,
it is easy 20 understand that when thirty
PLAYS havo heen made by any PLAYER the
time Indicated 10y his clock must toe within
two hours or the time at which his turn 10
play began. These tumble clocks, therefore,
serve tho purpose of stop watches. They are
an Eng lish notion. They compel fairness iu
play, since they put oil players on an equal
ity. II e player could take al the time he
needed ho wou1 much moro than player
who had some regard for tAe time used ia L
game.
All is silence. Often there is only ono map

stretch his ,szs. Perhaps be has gone out fer
