Loss Resulted From Fire Mt Fair
mont Yesterday Morning.


Special to the Register.
FAIRMONT, w. Va, December 81
A destructive fire began in the Kin
caid Hotel, recently leased by Austin
& Rhodes, of Warrington, at one
o'clock this morning. The flames
spread rapidly and the firemen work
ed manfully to extinguish them, but
the water pipe being frozen, they were
badly delayed. Three buildings were
burned with nearly principally their
contents.
How the fire originated is a mystery.
A lady hotel guest sprang from the
second floor, receiving severe injuries.
Mike Jenkins, of Pittsburg, also jump
ed from the third floor. He received
internal injuries.
The Kincaid Hotel, with its furni-
ture, etc, was valued at $4,000; insur-
ance, $500. James Leonard's building,
valuation, $4,000; insurance, $1,000. DR..
Boyers' building, valuation, $4,000; in
surance, $4,000. Occupants, Musgrave
G Co., merchants. loss $4,000; no in
surance. Clark Snyder, loss $500; no
insurance. Will Lynch, merchant, loss
81 $50; no insurance.

LONDON, January LIN the absence
of confirmation of the reported sort;e
from Ladysmith, that story Il dis
credited. No such hopeful view can he
taken as the 8oer account of the
Mafeking sortie seems designed to
convey. No word regarding any such
movement has yet arrived from British
sources; and the feelilg of suspense is
deepening, as it is feared Col. Baden
PowelPs silence indicates that his posi-
ton is becoming desperate.
The dispatches from the front
breathe a confident spirit which is by
no means echoed here.
The latest Ladysmith advices show
that the Boer shelling is becoming
deadly, while sickness and ennui must
also be telling strongly upon the garT-
son. The news of the spread of re-
bellion among the Dutch colonists and
the attempts of the Beers to cut the
railroad is very disquieting as bearing
upon the safety of the extended lines
of communication
All the correspondents are beginning
to hint of forward move on the part
of Gen. Butler, the danger Of which is
indicated in a dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph from F'rere. recording the
unfortunate failure Of two reconnais-
sances.
