MONDAY MORNINGS FIRE.
Splendid Work Done by the Winston
Fire Company.

Another fire alarm was turned in at
1:30 Monday morning. The scene of the
cOnfagration proved to be the old
Stockton dwelling on the corner OF
Second and Pine streets. The build
ing was the property of II. D. Poin-
dexter and was occupied by Mrs. B.
Thomas who conducted a boarding
house.
The origin of the fire is not known.
Some are of the opinion that it caught
from fiue while others think it or
iginated by the explosion of a lamp.
Mr.. Thomas and family were sleep
ing up stairs and had a narrow es-
cape. When the building was discov-
cred to be on fire it was too late fer
them to get down stairs. The only
means left for their rescue was to get
out of the window and crawl down on
the roof of an adjoining building.
Through the efforts of kind friends
some of the furniture was saved. In
four minutes after the alarm was
given the Winston Fire Company were
on hand throwing water. Through
the good work of the company the
frame of the building was saved.
Mr.. Cromar, boarder, lost his
trunk and clothes.
Mr.. PoindeXter had the building in
sured for 81, 800. He thinks that it
will cost nearly that amount to re-
pair it.

the North Carolina team accorded
them. An exhibition game however

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE.
Reported That Many Pastoral
Changes are to be Made.

at is rumored," says the Charlotte
News, ssthat many changes will take
place this year, caused no doubt by
the bad feelings in many churches
created by political differences. In
many churches throughout North
Carolina, the pastors have stood aloof
from the Third party crowd, and as
usual, voted the Democratic ticket.
For this they were severely criticised
and in many localities the members
of Gideon's Band whJ pretend also to
be devout Methodists, actually refuse
to pay their church assessments. This
state of things has by no means been
an uncommon occurrence and many Of
the preachers will this year go to
Conference with their salaries not
more than half paid, and furthermore
with but little hope of getting their
just deserts. 1t is highly probable
that the Bishop will touch on this
point, and many churches need just
such talk. Several ministers passed
through Charlotte today on their way
to Winston"

TYRo SHOPS, n. c.. Nov. 27.-We
find that the thieves are not all dead

instant, some one entered the store of
r. B. Thompson and took goods to
the amount of twenty-five or thirty

as they were not experts senough to
enter the safe. However, they broke
the cash drawer to pieces, but found
no money, except few pennies,
which they left. They entered the
store through a window.
Uncle Billy Barnes is yet very sick.
No signs of improvement.

wINSTON'S FIR s.
Roanoke Sympathizes With us in our
MisfOrtunes

The Roanoke, (Va.,) World has the
following kind words to say editorial
ly) about Winston's recent serious con-
flagrations:
1.-THE enterprising citizens of Win
ston have the sympathy of their
neighbors in their recent misfortunes.
A S250,000 fire destroying the finest
business block in the city, and the
destruction of the magnificent Hotel
Zinzendorf at loss of S125, 600 with
in few days are serious blows.
However, there still remains in
Winston that indomitable energy
which has builded a city in two de-
cades, without the aid of imported
capital, the enterprise for which the
greatest tobacco town of the South is
famous, and a considerable amount of
capital, the fruit of honest toll. With
these, Winston will rise from her
ashes stronger and more beautiful
than before.
Here is an object lesson for every
young and growing city in the South.
With adequate water facilities and an
efficient fire department, the loss
would have been much less"
