Swansboro' was visited yesterday morn
ing by quite serious fire the loss being
estimated at $1,000. on which there was
only about 800 insurance.
The flames originated IN the stable on
the premises of Charles I. Jones. who has
| large grocery-store and woodward on
Hull street in Swansboro'. and was caused
by sparks from an engine that was being
operated in the yard in connection with
saw. Mr.. Jones was having lot OF WOOD
sawed and the sparks evidently blew into
the stable and ignted the hay and straw
COW AND HORSE BURNED.
The blaze WAS not observed until it had
gotten such headway IN the combustiole
material that fine horse and o COW couid
| not be gotten ont Of the building ana were
| burned TO death. The WIND being very
strong the fire spread rapidly, and soon
the wagon and wood-sheds were abiazs.
| The smoke. sparks, and blaze could be
seen for a great distance. aud quickly
crowd gathered at the scene.
! There were 1875 cords OF wood burned,
together with 80. 900 laths, 1000 shingles,
| rrocery-wagon. a family carriage. and a set
| of harness. The stable and wood-shed
were entirely destroyed.
Several neighboring houses caught from
| the sparks, but were extlnguished by
| buckets Of water. II was thought that
| Mr.. Jones's store would surely be burned
/ but by heroic efforts that property was
saved.
