The Register well demonstrated its
ability to give its readers late news
when it published, yesterday morning,
a general account of the big fire at
Cambridge o., with the fact that the
business portion of the town was DOOM
ed, and that aid had been asked from
GAINESVILLE and Newark.
The fire originated in the livery sta
BILE Of J. w Davis, about one o'clock
yesterday morning, and as a high wind
was blowing the blaze was beyond con-
troll from the start. The small depart
ment maintained by the town was re-
inforced by most of the male popula
ton, but all of the local efforts were un-
availing, and about two o'clock mes
sages were sent to several points for
aid. The B. & o. railroad lent all the
assistance possible but it was nearly
six o'clock before the first of the fire
me- arrived, from GAINESVILLE. They
were quickly followed by the depart
ments from GAINESVILLE and Newark, and
the men did good work in cOnfiningEatle
flames to the limits reached and in 'eX-
tinguishing them. Frank Law, an en-
ploye of Davis livery stable, was burn
ed to death.
The principal losses are as follows:
Lyndon hotel building $4,000; Taylor
block $4,000; Memorial Hall $1,000;
J. w. Davis building and stock $4,000;
Carlisle & Grimes warehouses and
stock OF hardware in the Taylor block,
$4,000; George Schainrer, building and
stock, $4,000; John NJ. Richardson,
building and stock, $500; Carnes
Bros, livery, $500; II. c. Hornbrook,
boots and shoes, $4,000; A. D. Steele,
grocery, $500; Gillespie & Mccullough,
furniture, $4,000, The general Offices
of the Cleveland and Marietta railroad
were destroyed, but most of the valu-
able documents were saved. The in
surance was less than one-half the
| losses
