Everybody Sorry and Eager to Hear-A
Fire of Their own.

DANVIILE. VA, Oct. T.-Special.-
1,rovAs have been thronging the tele-
eraph offices here tonight eager 10 near
the news from the deporable loss al
the University OF Virginia. The report
was received here with deep sorrow, ana
IS being discussed IN every circle.
An alarm or hre at lz15 this morning
called out the department and an ex-
cited crowd of spectators.
The fire itself turned out to be
small affair, but its position was such as
TO threaten the destruction OF three to-
bacco warehouses, two factories, and an
immense quantity OF leaf-tobacco. The
fire was In the four-story brick to-
bacco factory owned by DR.. James Jones,
OF the county. and was occupied as a
prize-house for Ieaf-topacco BY w. \.
NOEL. T. W. Abbott. and +. @. Nc
Kinney, leaf-tobacco dealers. Fortu-
nately. the stocks OF these dealers were
small, the value amounting inthe asgre-
gate 10 $3.50. covered by insurance.
The building was gutted but the walls
are comparatively uninjured. The loss
on the building was $3.50. covered by
insurance. u. F. Acrees loss from
water and breakage is two or three
hundred dollars. The fire department
had TO fight very hard TO keep the flames
from spreading 10 adjoining factories and
warehouses.
