raj Thrilling Escapes-A Suicide

DANvILLE, VA. october 31.-(speciai)
The most destructive blaze that has &C.
Cured here in several years was the
burning this afternoon of the cluster OF
tobacco factories of Messrs. Schoolfield,
Boatwright e. Co., leaf tobacco dealers
and the factory and annex of Scheduled
& Watson, manufacturers of plug and
smoking.
The fire originated from the overturn-
ing of a small gasoline stove about 2'Sc
o'clock and ragged fercely until dark. II
Is still burning at IL o'clock tonight, but
Is under control. A brisk wind blew du-
ring the whole afternoon from the north,
and the flames worked back from south to
north, resulting in the destruction of the
buildings that were apparently safe at
the outset. The Fire Department has
been the subject OF considerable criti-
cism. During the progress of the fire the
engine broke down, and a hurry message
was wired Greensboro, n. c., for assis-
lance. Greensboro responded with an
engine and truck, which were sent up on
a special train.
LOSS AND INSURANCE.
The loss of Schoolfield, Boatwright *
Co., on stock and fixtures is placed at
81, 600, on which insurance was carried
TO the extent of about sH,5OO on stock
and s. 900 on fixtures. SchoOlfild 4 Wat
sons loss on stock and machinery will
be about $4,000. Thirty thousand dollars
worth of manufactured goods was saved
by this firm. whose insurance will about
cover their loss. The buildings were all
owned by John H. Scheduled. They cost
to erect about $4,000. They are insured
for about $1,000. Much of Schoolfield,
Boatwright & Co.'S stock consisted of
very fine wrappers, which they will be
unable TO replace. From 100 to 200 people,
are temporarily thrown out OF work.
Both firms will at once occupy emergency
quarters, until the burned buildings can
be replaced.
