FIRE AT WADESBORO, n. c..
Depots, Three Freight Cars and Dwell
ing Destroyed Thursday.
Wilmington Starr

Superintendent OF Streets j. A. Perry,
who returned on the 12:O5 p. III. Sea
board Air Line train yesterday, from
Charlotte, where he has been to attend
the Road-builders' Institute, now in SEES
sion there, told Star reporter of de-
structive fire at Wadesboro early Thurs
day morning.
He said that as the Charlotte train
passed that town about Z O'clock Thurs
day morning, the S. A. las freight de-
pot, on the northern side of the track,
the passenger depot. almost directly OPP
pOsite, and three freight cars on the sid
ing, We're burning. A one-story dwelling
house, Inv close proximity to the buildings
above named. was also burned. Mr.
Perry said. He was unable to learn the
origin of the fire or the extent of the
damage. The fire, he said, had been in
progress for more than an hour when
the train arrived and delay of equally
as long a time was occasioned in the
trains passing over the track, which
had become heated by the flames.
