NEWCASTLE, VIA. August 1.-THE

been the subject Of much talk and super
stitous terror among the poorer class OF
citizens. She was a descendant OF fn-
nous Revolutionary soldier, but enVlron-

Such a costume is far from expensive, yet
extremely comfortable. a suit cf TINS

Early Morning Fire

About 2 o'clock yesterday
morlng the store of j B Walters
d Bro, near the cotton mill and
the cottage occupied by Mr.. j b
Walters and family adjacent, were
totally consumed by fire. The
store room and dwelling house
were the property of Mr.. NJ II
johnson. He had insurance to
the amount of 5000 on the former
and $500 on the latter, which Just
about half covers his losses.
Walters Bros. carried about ST.,
OCO Insurance on their stock of
goods but their loss is more than
double that amount. Nothing
was saved from the store. The
fire had made too much headway
when discovered for it to be en-
tered. Mr. Walters furniture
was saved from the dwelling but
badly damaged. He carried no
insurance on it. The store room
and dwelling "f Mrs Names, on
the lot adjoining, were badly
damaged bat is covered by insur-
ancc.
The fire when discovered had
burnt through the top of the
store room about its middle and
the whole interior seemed ahlaZc.
Its origin was most likely incen-
diary. The store was probably
first robbed and then set afrc.
About o'clock of the previous
night one of the Mcssrs Walters
heard noise at one Of the back
windows of the store and hailed
when man was heard to run
away from the window. He
went out and found the window
near Y unbOlted.
MIR Walters rented a cottage
from Mr. Wylie and moved into
it Yesterday.
