&This morning about o'clock the wood
en- warehouse In the rear Of the Watson
block, on,Grgnite Row. was discovered to
be on FIRE. Officer Mckinney ran to the
fire bell, and, in attempting to sound the
alarm, discovered that the ropes attached
to the bell had been tied or tampered

the immense bell to working, and the fire.
men were out in q short time. They
reached the building and put it out, but it
was considerably damaged. Kay q Ba.
ker had stored away q lot of goods in there,
but they were insured for 81 600, which
will nearly cover their loss. 1t is very
plainly the work of an incendiary, for this
morning a big hole was found to have
been cut through the floor from under
meath the building. It is believed that a
lot of goods were stolen and the building
then set fire.
The Toney Creek correspondent Of the
Greenville NeWs, under date of the goth
inst, says: "For some time the bridge on
Saluda River, known as Cooley's Bridge,
has been showing signs of giving way,
and had been pronounced dangerous by
the Commissioners. On last Saturday the
Commissioners from the two Counties
met here and hired w. T. McGill, of An
derson, to repair it; considerable difference
of opinion was expressed as to the advis-
ability OF repairing, some thinking it bet
ter to tear down and build new bridge.
On last night between 10 and IL o'clock
two dynamite cartridges were placed in
the bridge by some unknown party and
touched of, alarming the neighbors and
damaging the bridge considerably the
party who did the work knew exactly
where the weakest part Of the bridge was
and placed the dynamite where 1t looked
like it would do the most damage; but
they failed in their object and shows that
the bridge Is much better than considered
by any one; tracks are found leading from
the bridge to where horse had been tied
and buggy turned around, and the bug
gy track was traced for several miles; q
party met the buggy twice, both coming
and going, and little detective work
would show who the villain is, who
should be ferreted out and severely pun
ished. Captain McGill, with force of
hands, is at work on the bridge and hopes
to save it.'
