TERRIFIC FIRE AT FOSSIL.
EaIf a Dozen Buildings Licked

Monday afternoon about 2 O'Clock the

ably from cigar stump, and within o
few seconds the enormous structure was
seething mass Of roaring flames. Ev-
erything was as dry as powder, and "

same roof, thence east across the street

Coates blacksmith shop, thence to the
Hosford building, occupied by Mrs. +.
M. Judd.
BY almost superhuman efforts the
large merchandise store Of w. w. Stei-
wer & Co., just north across the street,
was saved by spreading wet blankets all
over the roof, it being protected also by
row Of large poplar trees. p. Potter
toms large furniture establishment was
saved also by wet blankets. Had Stei-
wer Il Cot store caught fire, there IL no
doubt the entire town would have fallen
victim to the hellish fend. The

building are evidence Of the narrowness

Branson, who bad the stable rented,

lot Of hay, harness, etc. and the kind
hearted citizens at once raised about
500 for him. We have not learned if
any Of the other buildings we're insured
or not.

district lies in the east edge OF the town,

Last Sunday afternoon a couple Of young

HON. rHos. w. M1LLkR,s OPINION
OF Cleveland and the Outlook of til,
Democratic Party.

VI CteVeiRnd ana the Outlook of the
Democratic Party.
Hon. Thos. w. Miller has returned
from his Northern trip, and yesterday
in reply to queries by TINES reporter
said:
MY trip was not only enjoyable, but
perfectly satisfactory from business
standpoint. went from here direct to
washington, where | succeeded in get
ting the support of many congressman,
and among them the influence of
Speaker Crisp, for the measure securing
the right of way for the Norfolk and
western through the District of Colum-
bia to the capital.
The only fear to be apprehended is
That many Congressman will get away
before the bin comes up in the House
for action. If so the fight will be re-
newed in the short session, and will be
put through at once From Washing
ton, armed with strong letter from a
public man of national reputation, I
proceeded to New York. presented nv
letter to Mr. Stevenson, and had the
pleasure of long conversation with
him.
ITO my solicitation to speak at Roa-
noke be replied that if he spoke at any
point in the South it would be here. At
the notification meeting Mr.. Cleveland
spoke, and l wish to say right here that
he is far stronger man in presence
than he is in print The notinca lion
was communicated by William l.. Will
son, of West Virginia, in very strong
and able spe ech. While in New York /
met many of the Tammanyites. and they
say that they are unit for Cleveland
and will be enthusiastic workers in his
behalf through tho entire campaign.
From what / could learn from we'll
informed politicians l am inclined to
think that the Lutheran vote of Illinois
and some other Western States will 90
for towards giving the Democrats ma
1ority in them. The Lutheran vote of
Illinois alone is something over thirty
thousand. The Republicans of these
States are pledged to the compulsory
educational system and this. if adopted,
would almost entirely destroy the
parochial system now in force among
them and they will, in consequence, so
am informed, for this reason vote the
Democratic ticket"
MIR. Miller is very hopeful of Demo
cratic victory in November, in fact, far
moro so than before his trip North.

stopping at the Ponce de Leon Hotel.
yesterday in conversation Mr.. Ballard
said:
II am frequent visitor to Roanoke
and have watched her career CLOSELY.
and must say that it is remarkable. I
travel great deal in the North, and
there, when speaking of this place, it is
referred to as an example of thrift and
progress. 1t is like fair Portia, whose
renown had gone forth, bringing her
wooers from the four corners of tho
earth. In my mir d her future is as
sured, and She is destined to be one of
the greatest commercial and manufac
turing cities in the South.
But there is one thing that is needed
and that is better railway connections
with the Chesapeake and Ohio. Pas.
sengers from that road coming via
Clifton Forge are compelled to lie over
almost whole day at Buchanan whom
otherwise they could come on In a few
hours to Roanoke where, of course,
they would prefer to be. If these roads
have differences they should ad lust them
AID accommodate the public by better
connections" In speaking of the Home
stead situation Mr.. Ballard said: I'm
my opinion both sides are in fault. On
the one hand / can not see why
workingmen who do not care to work
TOT certain sum should resort to vio-
ience to prevent others from doing so if
they see fit.
ION the other hand the conduct of
Manager Frick was hasty and i'll ad-
vlsed. In bringing a band of armed
and irresponsible men from a distant
state when the strong arm of the law OF
his own State was there to protect life
and property, Frick committed an act
which is simply indefensible" Then
the topic Of conversation turned upon
the historical heroes of old Kentucky
and Mr.. Ballard declared that he be-
lieved Watterson was the bright test and
Carlisle the greatest of all living Demo
Gratis. He leaves for his kentucky home

Danger of a collision in Homestead is
generally expected to follow the release
of Hugh O'Donnell and his return home
if that should take place. In the event
of bail being accepted for him by the
court his friends hero have determined
to pive him rousing reception aid the
authorities are equally positive that no

If welcome with procession should
be attempted the outlook is that a
serious encounter will certainly occur.
Provost Marshal Greene says that the
sheriff has decided to prevent a public
assembly of any kind, and clearly states
that the parade will be stopped. Steel
workers. on the other hand, say that the
proposed prohibition is wholly illegal
and they will not submit. The story
sent out from here last night that non
union carpenters were beaten by the
strikers is without foundation.
