Special Dispatch to tho lntelliEencer.
pHILIPPI, ". Va Nov. lS.-On Sat-
urday morning about 9 o'clock the worst
FIRE In the history of this little city
hroke out in the Valley hotel. through
detective iluc, and for several hours the
flames ragged with terrible effect, burn
,ns almost the entire business part OF
the town and causing q loss Of 800. 900.
As the city Is virtually without fire pro-
lection, there was little chance to fight
the flames, and the buildings in that
section Of the city were ut the mercy
OF the fire. tf
The east side OF Main street was al
most entirely destroyed. and had It not
been for the l.. o. O.. F. building. the
loss would have been greater, but on
account OF the high brick walls OF this
structure the flames were checked to
some degree and the hand brigade was
able to put stop to the progress of the
confagration.
There were no fatalities. w. G. Kris.
q volunteer fireman, was injured. but
not seriously. A few others were slight
ly hurt from contact with the blaze.
Mass Of Ruins.
Almost the entire business part Of the
city Is . mass of ruins and the sight Is
indeed desolate one. but the people
are not at all hisheartened and al !.
ready plans have been perfected to re-
build the street, with larger and more
splendid buildings.
Contracts have already been let for
the erection OF number OF buildings OF
modern architecture and 1t will not be
many months before the little mountain
city will be rebuilt and will look more
modern than ever.
The weekly newspapers that went
down In the conragrntion will be pub
lished this week from the Democrat
office. Their loss will be heavy for the
owners as they had little insurance and
many things can not be replaced.
Among the heavy losers are the fol-
lowing:

Dear Sirs:-I feel it my duty to
write to you and let you know how
much good your medicine has done
for me. Twenty-three yeras ago /
was taken with some kind of stom-
ach trouble and tried everything !
heard of. They did me but little
good. Three years ago neuralgia set
in on me and got SO poor and weak
that ! could hardly walk, couldn't
work any. My husband received q
book through the mail, advertising
your medicine, and he sent our little
boy to the drug store to get one of
your ten-cent bottles. l began to
use it. 1t is strange to say, but it's
the truth, the second dose / took
gave me lots of relief. I kept on
using it till 1 used it nearly one year
and now am nearly as strong as
used to be and can do any kind of
work. recommended it to all, for
it seems to me it would cure anybody
l have gotten several to use DR..
Oaldwell's Syrup Pepsin and they
all say it has done them so much
good. Gpd bless DR.. Caldwell and
his medicine for doing me SO much
good. Yours with respect,
Mrs. Isabel Wheeler.

that the situation in China was
considerably envolved because
there was no Chinese government
with which to negotiate.
Great Britain" continued the
undersecretary, while prepared to
support the loyal viceroys of South
China, who have stood aloof from
this insurrection, and while pre-
pared, also, to preserve British
trade with China, will claim some
penalty or indemnity for the dam
age wrought.
Nevertheless, we cannot under

the towns or dominate them. as
they are continually on the alert
to attack towns poorly garrisoned.
We are not able to attack large
forces or to pursue them.

Office holders costs the government
$5. 900. 900 a year more in salaries
than did the officers under any pre-

tional army would, if concentrated,
carry almost any state in the union.
