room cottage and the six-room dwelling OF
David Dooley on East franklin street, were
burned. The fire started in the cottage,
which was very near the larger dwelling, |
and the flames had almost enveloped 1t
before the fire was discovered. Services
were going on at the Churches and when
the alarm sounded the congregations
rushed out hurriedly, every person think
ing 1t was his or her home on fire. The
firemen were soon on hand, but they could
not save either building or any of the con.
tents, for the fire had got too great start.
The loss amounts to about $4,000, on
which there was Sl.100 insurance. Doo!ey
is one of Andersons most worthy and In
dustrious negroes, and the loss falls heavy
on him. All of his family were at Church
when the fire broke out, and, as there had
been no fire in the cottage, 1t is not known
how it originated.
