FIRE IN WEST END.-The alarm OF
ire at 20 minutes past 8 O'Clock last
might was caused by the burning of the
residence of Mr.. John Cats, in West
End, about half a mile beyond the city
limits. Mr.. Cats saved nearly all his
furniture the neighbors and others sue
c5eding in getting it out of the house.
The building was valued at about
$1,000. The origin of the fire is I'M
known. but is believed TO have been
accidental There was no insur-
auce. The truck company was on
the ground, and the two steamers re-
sponded, but were unable to get water
sufficiently close to the scene of the fire
to render assistance. 1t is said that
with 500 feet of additional hose nearly
every building in the neignborhood
could be reached in time Of fire. The
burned building was an old landmark.
liz bygone days on the first of January
OF each year the annual hiring of slaves
was made at this house. On such occa-
sions people living in the surrounding
county brought those people to Cats 5
tavern where residents of this city met
them and employed help for the year.
It has been 50 years since such scene
has been witnessed.

situation a, n glance. They each grasped a strap
near the rear enrace, and stood there. All the men
near them were intensely Interested in evening
papers The young women began 20 look tired. but
the spell Of the newspapers continued unbroken
The young women waited a reasonable time for
relief Then they conferred briefly FOR moment.
and moved along to the centre OF the car. Here
they stopped again. ard seized three more straps
They really .ookei weary by this time. The ex-
pressiors OF hopeless fatigue upon their faces were

down at the each side OF them The indif-
ference OF their fellow passengers remained undis-
