Continuing on this theory the officers

THE PIEDMONT FIRE.

President S. Redmond Smiths Telegram
in Regard to the Se5O,OO0 Piedmont
Conilagration--No Wilmington Losses,
The telegraphic statements published
in yesterdays papers in regard to the
fire at Piedmont, Ala, Monday night
are probably greatly exaggerated The
loss, as stated yesterday, is $250,O00.
President S. redmond Smith of the
the Piedmont Land Improvement Com
pany received the following telegram to-
day:
PIEDMONT, ALA., April IA, 1s0l-S. n.
Smith, Wilmington, Del: Old business quar-
ter totally burned last night No loss to
company except electric wires, Do YOU
approve presenting main street lots to all
who will build of brick. Answer quick
w. G. HAINEs.
s. Redmond Smith stated TO d re-
porter of THE GAzETT yesterday morning
that his conjecture is that the cluster d
frame business stores situate in Centre
and Ladija streets was the property de-
stroyed. Mr.. Smith replied to Mr..
Haines telegram to agree to the sug-
gestion donating lots to people who
will rebuild in brick instead of lumber
The result of the conflagration, bTr.
Smith thinks, will probably be TO hasten
the completion of the water works and
other improvements for which the last
Alabama legislature authorized an
appropriation of $4,000.
Mr.. Smith added that the cluster Of
business houses burned were all con
tiguous frame houses in the old part of
the city. Undoubtedly the reported
amount of loss, $3.50, 900, is grossly ex-
exaggerated.
