A few minutes before o'clock yesterday
morning a fire was discovered in the wood
and undergrad of Mrs. 5. ID. stout, No.
III south Second street, which is near the
corner Of Canal. The alarm was turned in
from station -, corner OF First and Cary
streets, and in a short while the Third-street
engine responded. Quickly followed 40 and
4 ayd hook and ladder truck No. 3.
The flames had gotten considerable head
way before the stream Of water could be
turned upon them, and the grocery store
adjoining two-stOry brick house, occupied
| by John III. Stout, soon caught ahre, when
made quite an apparent coniiagrauon. Inc
early hour did not prevent the people IN the
neiehbOrhOOd from rushing TO the hre;
many Of them half dressed and half awake
pressed forward until great crowd sur
rounded the flames.
Notwithstanding the fremen did their
duty TO the last iota, three houses-Nos.
| 10, III and 1l0-were in flames. NO. 10
was "A frame building next TO the wood
shed on Second street. In the rear OF these
were several small buildings occupied by
negroes, who were sleeping soundly when
| the fire broke out. and in escaping with
their clothing and fayorite pieces of furni-
ture they could carry, made quite an
amusing spectacle. The steady streams
of water from four engines proved too
much for the fire, and in reasonably short
time the flames were under control, but not
until the building occupied by MIR. Stout
| had been neatly DESTROYED.
All of the buildinga were covered with
shingles, and the westerly winds sent the
| flames to each, which caused them 10 rap
| idly ignite. The whole amount OF the dam
age will probably reach $500, which is
covered with insurance.
The building No. ll9 is owned by Mr.
| Crouch. and was damaged about 5000. The
stock of goods was damaged to the extent
of about 500. No. III, the wood yard, etc.
| is damaged together with the contents,
| about $l,O0. The three-stOry brick build
| ing, No. ia owned by Mrs. A. Wendlinger
was damae I'd about $500. The property OF
Mrs. ;. d stout was fully insured by a
company represented by Messrs. George ID
Peasants q Sons. Mrs. Wendlinger's pro
perry was insured by the Mutual Assurance
Society here for $1,000.
The building No. 40 south Third street
occupied by Mrs. Camm's school, was alsC
slightly damaged. 4 stable in the rear OF
the grocery store, owned by Mrs. stout
| was also consumed with three horses
These were insured by Messrs. Pleasani'
for $500. The entire loss was covered by
insurance.
