WINSTON, N. c., Aug. 1l.-Just as the
writer had seated himself for few
newsy notes for the CHRONICLE readers,
which by custom is early in the morn
Ing, the fire alarm was sounded, and
forth to the fire we ran with all the Gu
rloslty OF a newspaper man.
1t was destructive fire, and sad one
when we say that it was the old Foun-
tain Hotel, which year after year for
perhaps the last forty years, has given
rest to the traveller and helped to keep up
the social life of the city. The hotel did
not catch at the start. The fire origi-
mated IN the kitchen, and before it could
be extinguished spread over the hotel.
The building was full of guests and fine
furniture. The young men of the city,
by desperate efforts, succeeded in saving
everything Of much value, but as the
crowd saw the flames sweep through the
halls and out the windows and door
ways, totally wrapping up in it's red
sheet the whole structure, a deep sense
OF sorrow came over them that an old
landmark was thus being destroyed. Mr..
W. Gray, an old and esteemed gentle
man, who lately moved here from States
vile, was the proprietor and Mr.. Roland
Harris, manager. Everyone deeply
sympathizes with the old gentleman in
his loss.
Yesterday the best change in the R.
& D. schedule took place that has ever
been made for this place. 1t is now only
one hours ride from here 10 Greensboro
and we have four trains day, three via
the NV. N. G. railroad and another
via the R. q S. Through mixed trains
are run from Greensboro to Wilkesboro.

Last night at the Presbyterian church
Prof. Henry Louis Smith, of Davidson
College, presented the claims of the Y.
III. G. A. of that college, and asked a
contribution from the church toward
! poses of an association. We learn that
something over hundred dollars was
raised.
~
There are no new developments polit-
ically In these parts, except the fact that
the manager Of the Greensboro colored
anti Brewer paper, Mr. OJey, brother
to your successful barber in Raleigh
succeeded wonderfully in getting sub
scribers to that journal while visiting
| here last week This is a good indica
! ton as it assures Mr.. Williams thai
there are many colored men in these re-
gions too honest to vote for such a mai
as Brewer.

Engineers and Firemen Not Active in
Support of the Knights of Labor.
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-That there
seems no actual disposition on the part
or either the engineers or firemen to as
slst the Knights is apparent from the
way IN which both Chief Sargent of the
tiremen and Chief Arthur of the engin-
eers have expressed themselves. Chief
Sargent, In an interview, states that he
has not become particularly interested
In the trouble and sees no reason WHY
the firemen should be called out. Chief
Arthur has taken no active part in the
trouble and apparently does not expect
to.

went to work, making up freight trains.
1t is reported that the strikers were ad-

that the military would be ordered to
