NEW TOBACCO ENTERPRISES
in North Carolina During
the Year 1898

The year 1898, with its extreme
financial depression, has dealt more
kindly with the South than any other
section of the United States, says the
Southern Tobacco Journal. A re-
sumo of the new industrial enter
prises started during the year proves
this. The showing, everything con-
sidered, is a remarkably good one.
With speedy and favorable legisla-
tiOn by Congress we may look for bet
ter things for 1894.
North Carolina is credited with the
following in the way of tobacco facto-
ries NEW, enlarged or rebuilt after de-
struction by fire. for the past year:
Winston 2 II Hanes s. Co., plug;
Kerner & Jones, plug; w + Smith &
Sons, cigarettes: Winston Cigarette
Machine Co., cigarette machines;

Worlds Fair Buildings Burned.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Fire broke out at
$50 last night among the Worlds
Fair buildings. By O'Clock the Ca
sino and Peristyle had been DESTROYED
and the Musical and Manufacturers
and Liberal Art buildings were burned.
While the fire was burning there
was one of the most singular and fas-
cinating sights OF the night. Along
the top of the Perystiyle were scores
Of statutes. The spectacle for those
people fortunate enough to be on the
moving sidewalk, just east of the Per-
istyle. was more of succession of gil
gantic human beings plunging one af-
ter another headlong into the waters
Of the lake below. The origin of the
fire is said to be revenge on the part
of couple of tramps. The solitary
guard in the Music hall says that Just
before the flames broke out he kicked
two vagabonds out of the Music hall
and told them to find quarters else
where, They left in the direction of
the Casino and soon after the fire
broke out.
LATER The losses sustained by
the fire are now estimated at 81, 500,
600.
