Oxford, N. c., Oct. 3.-(Special.)-A
I3 o'clock Sunday morning the people of
Oxford were startled by an alarm of fire.
to find fierce fire raging on Commercial
avenue in the grocery store of j. ID.
Brooks. The flames had progressed rap
idly before the fire was discovered. Two
young men sleeping over this store were
awakened just in time to escape in
safety, but not in time to save valua-
bles in their room. On account of the
low supply of water occasioned by the
recent drouth all hope of saving the
building was abandoned. The front door
was broken open and an effort was made
| to, save the groceries of which Mr..
Brooks had just received large stock
of about $4,000, of which only about
$500 was saved. Insurance on this
stock taken by j. ID. Brooks amounted
/ to $4,000 The building was owned by
Mrs. McCrary, of Wilmington, on which
there was no insurance.
| The adjoining building, owned by Mr..
Hart, of the American Tobacco Conf
pany, and rented by j. X. Wood, under
taker, caught fire and only the stock
/ on the lower floor was saved. On the
second floor about one h@ndred Baskets
and much fine cedar and walnut lumber
was burned, with the building. ]. X.
Woods insurance was only $500. The
next building, a double store, rented by
e. w. Crenshaw. one filed with dry
goods and the other with groceries,
seemed in imminent danger and the
goods were all carried across the street.
The building was saved by hard work,
but the goods badly injured by heat and
hurried removal, and much was stolen.
f.. w. Crenshaw carried insurance to
the amount of 81 1900.
/ The origin of the fire is unknown, hav-
ing originated in the rear of the second
story of ID. Brooks's store, where hay
was stored.
| At one time It seemed that the whole
block would be destroyed, but the fire
was checked by hard work and united
