from the time of the discovery of the fire
il burned through The roof and rear eLt
of the building Then the mammo;E
drug store of p. d. Cottiugham 81 Co.
ON the one side, and 3. T. Smiths cloth
ing store. on the other, caught fire
Very soon all three buildings were burn
| ing furiously, and the people realized
! that The business portion of Snow HilI
was doomed ard hard work would have
! to be done to save the resident portion
| of the town. Men, women aud children
| wrung their hands in despair, and men
who are noted i'll less string times for
their GOODNESS and bravery ran about in
au aimless manner and were so panic
stricken that they did not know what
they were doing. Whistles were blowing
church bells pealing ont the fire alarm,
and paudemonium reigned.
Storehouse after storehouse was licked
up by the flames. Merchants were en-
Ceavoling to save such of their goods as
they could get out of their stores and
carrying them to places Of safety, every
kind Of vehicle being pressed Into service
for the purpose. The courthouse yard
was thought to be safe place for stor-
ing goods, and thither nearly every one
ran with arms full of dry goods, furni-
ture, clothing aud every conceivable kind
of merchandise. But this afterward
proved to be costly error, for everything
placed in the courthouse yard was to go
up in smoke.
The flames kept on in their devastating
path GA Pearl, Market, Bank and Wash

checked by the heroic efforts of the

acres OF ground. Happily, no lives
were lost and no person was seriously
hurt.

Snow Hill are certainly badly crippled,

already to adopt new methods aud to

Death of John f. SteDhenS.


We have to record the death of the
oldest native citizen of this village, War
wick Oh the 6 inst, suddenly, of John
Francis Stephens in the SEVENTEEN year
of his age.
Mr.. Stephens never married and has
resided in the village or on his farm near
the village all his life, until his farm was
sold few years age, when he moved
into the village and opened a small
grocery store He was well patronized,
but through the kindness of his nature,
some soon began to take the advantage
of him, and he soon began to feel it in his
business
Last February y. P. Jones then post
master resigned the postoffioe and recon-
mended him as his successor. His
friends went to work and presented
large petition to the Department for
his appointment as postmaster, but some
others beng more avaricious hurried and
raised petition, ard by incorporating
his condition as to his mind being i'm
paired to the Department, and that he
would not be able to fill the duties of
the office They defeated him. The PEG
pie had thought he was able to represent
them in the Commissioners Court at oLe
time. and theDemocrat party thought him
able to filthe lms office twice since then.
These statements had the effect of
delaying the appointment until the
present administration, when they sue
ceeded in defeating him and blasting all
his hopes of lettering his condition, tor
he thought the office would help him in
his business.
He was buried from the residence of
Mr. Amos Wilson on Tuesday SGh inst in
the Forest cemetery, Middletowp, Del.
The bearers were: Mark Manlove, Geo
w. Price, j. Hall Short, Thomas P.
Jones, William ]. Price and Patrick
