house owned by Hannah Benton and occu-
pied by the owner and Samuel Beatty, a
driver for Hirsch Bros. 1t had been
burning some time before an alarm was
turned in, and then the distance from the
engine houses and the heavy streets
made it some minutes before the

hose laid. BY that time the fire was under
full Roadway, and the house where it started
was beyond saving, and the adjoining house,
occupied by Willis Thompson, a driver for
G.. Eckstein, had caught and was in flames

stiff wind was blowing and the flames were
carried across the narrow street and to the
roofs Of the adjoining houses.

Cole.
A two-story house occupied by John
Hatersham, a butcher in the market

aged. None of the furniture
in the houses occupied by the
Benton woman and Beatty was saved.
The furniture in most of the other houses
was got out.
The total loss by the fire will appromxi-
mate $4,000 1t was impossible to learn The

of the houses were pretty well covered.
The origin of the fire ia unknown. When

spot, has placed the railroad employees
under many obligations for his thoughtful
kindness in building for their enjoyment a
nice large dancing pavilion, one that will
accommodate large number of people.
The platform Is protected by a good roof.
and will afford ample shelter in case of

cool and ever flowing spring, which will
afford good supply OF pure water.
Mr.. Moore is also erecting a few dressing
rooms for the convenience of the ladies',
who can carry along their bathing suits
and enjoy a bath in the Canoochee. The
committee will not undertake to supply the
suits. Mr.. Moore has laid out nice base
ball park and expects to see some good ball
playing. 1t is reported that two of the
Central's crack teams are arranging match
game for the lovers Of such sport.
The Canoochee affords some good fishing
grounds to those who will enjoy that
kind OF sport, and they will be expected to
carry along supply of their own tackle.

at the disposal Of the committee ample ac-
commodations In the way Of trains. The

intermediate points to take the families of
employees and their friends This train will
meet the shoohy at Meldrim to take those
from above. and returning will connect
with the same train so they can return to
their homes before night.
The employees say if the Central will make
