About nine o'clock Friday night fire was dis
covered in the rear of the Sontum building. oc-
cupied by E. NJ. Roberts with his Enterprise
Tea Store" When first discovered, the flames
were leaping from the windows of the room
which was small one story shanty addition to
the main building, and were confined exclusively
to the place of origin. Before any effectual work
could be done by the department, the fire had
penetrated into the roof and adjoining building
owned by Joseph Walter and occupied by Frank
McTye. boot and shoe dealer. A spirited contest
however. soon resulted in favor of the wet ele-
ment and by continued efforts the flames were
apparently extinguished, and the department
returned to headquarters. In about two hours
second run was made. and second time del
uge of water soaked the blacken building from
top to bottom. and again they were left in sup
posed safety. But about four o'clock in the morn
ing the town was again awakened by the :" deep
toned =" bell. and for the third time the streets
were lighted by the glare from the same build
ings, which seem fated for destruction. This
time the fire was put out, but not until the Som
tum building was nearly wiped out. and entirely
ruined.
Below, in addition to the store rooms n ention-
ed, were the ones of Thomas PARA and John
Ferri italian fruit and candy dealers. The lat
ter saved most of his goods, but the other ten
ants were not as fortunate, as an examination of
the losses given below will reveal. The second
story rooms were occupied by Thomas PARA and
Sewell Cooley and families. as living rooms.
Many of the goods from McTye's store were
carried to safe quarters, but the bulk of them
were left in the store.where the smoke and water
played sad havoc with them.
This is the third fire in the same block of
buildings within the past few months, and many
attribute them to incendiary origin. while others
discountenance any such idea.
The losses, with insurance. were as follows
Frank McTye. loss about $4,000; insurance
$3.50. Miss McMurray. millinery few water
soaked goods; small loss; insurance $500. E.
NJ. Roberts. loss 5000; $500 insurance. S. Cooley.
household furniture; a total loss; insurance
5000. Thomas Para. small loss; $3.50 insurance.
The Walter building was damaged to the extent
of $500 to $500; $500 insurance. On Sontum's
building the loss is from 81 500 to 81 900: insur
anee $1,000. Terri had no insurance.

ygy cyjL TON WITHDREW.

Mr.. Chiffon in his letter of with.
drawal betrays the disposition of the
administration of which he is virtually
a part to snap its fingers at the people
when there is an Office to ell, con-
sidering any interference on the part
of their vervants as the rankest pre-
sumption. Mr.. Chiffon says:
"Many members of the Legislature
have given me assurance of support in
the contest which has now come to a
crisis, but upon my arrival here, some
three days ago, found that number
of my friends thus situated felt that
their freedom of action had been
abridged by meetings in their dis
tricts favorable to other gentlemen,
and that would lose their votes upon
q ballot. | found, in addition, that
others were to some extent hampered
by expressions from their constituents,
which, though lacking authority, we're
not without influence. The senator's
and representatives who occupy this
position have stated to ME with
general fidelity their purpose to vote
for me upon the roll call tomorrow,
but l find that my total vote with
their help will not be enough to
elect"
Mr.. Chiffon said no would much
prefer to have remained in
the race and felt strong
repugnance to withdrawal but
knowing he would be defeated it was
useless to persue the matter further.
He evidently feels injured because
the people saw fit to "abridge" the
action of their representatives and
"hamper" them so that their support
of Mr.. Chiffon would involve them in
controversy with home influences.
1t is rather tough on the young man
with whom the governor played mar
bles, but it is sample Of the manner
in which the people are going to
"abridge" the action of their dele
gates, to the state convention and
hamper them SO that further per.
suit of the governorship by Hogg will
be attended with hemorhage OF the
heart.

plausible when we reflect that a

The assertion that Texas is for Hill

The manner in which the people
rallied to Mills makes the first
ridiculous, and the manner in which
they are rallying to Clark makes the
last improbable.
