A BIG FIRE COLUMBIA.
The Jerome Hotel and Number OF Other
Bulldlugs Burned-The Loss Estimated
AT 100000.
(News and Courier)

Columbia, December 10, 0,--Special: ::
Perhaps the most serious fire Colum-
bia has had since Sherman burned it
occurred here to night. At this
writing the steam engines are still at
work, but all danger is at an end, al
though at one time it looked dan
geronsly like great conAagration,
and as if the entire block on the west
side of Main street, between Lady
and Washington street, running back
to Assembly street, would be do
stroyed. For while the heat was
30 intense that it looked as if the
fire would extend over to the east
side of Main street The fire was
burning on Main street simultaneous
with Assembly street, and between
these streets stables aud out houses
were a mass of flames. Columbia's
fire department includes only three
steam engines and of these one was
away, being repaired, 30 there were
only two engines to handle the fire.
They could at best only work to
check the fire and confine it to the
burning buildings, which was ad-
mlrably done, considering The facili-
ties and the delay in sending in
alarm. The stores on Market street
had to burn, as no engine could be
spared from the Main street side.
After while the State Hospital for
the Insane consented to send down
It's old hand engine and it was put to
work oD Assembly street.
Mayor Earle telegraphed to Char
lesion and Augusta for two engines
each, and to Newberry, but before
the special trains from these places
started with the engines he wired
thanks and countermanded the re-
quest
1t was quick fire to start, but
slow to get under control because of
the area covered. A long wooden
stable in the heart of the fire district
spread the fire from Main street to
Assembly street. At 745 bright
light was noticed on Van Metres
furniture store. 1t grew before any
cry of fire was made. Although
where every one could see it no one
gave the alarm. Finally few cries
were given. The alarm struck and
as If by magic the crowds concen.
trated. At first the fire seemed as if
it could be managed. First the
workshop burned, then the. kitchen

Of tho Hotel Jerome caught and the
stable, formerly TalberLs stable, and
80 the fire spread. A stream of water
was sent through to protect the hotel,
but the fire spread too rapidly. Tho
hotel dining room was soon atire and
the fire spread. Crowds went into
the hotel and began the work of
saving. Some sensible folks first
threw down mattresses and on them
threw the furniture and trunks, but
other people threw glasses and furni.
ture on the pavements, and many
pieces were let down with ropes. 1t
was quick and desperate work, and
while men were crying for every one
to get out of the building men we're
taking things out. Many of the
guests took charge Of their own
effects and those who were onterpris
ing saved everything. Mrs. John P.
Richardson saved everything. Capt.
. B. @. Webb had an inconvenient
room to reach, but saved most of his
effects. The most serious loss falls
on Mrs. Jerome Pagan and MIR.
Thomas Pagan, the owners of the
Jerome Hotel.
There aro different accounts as to
how the fire started, but it certainly
began back of Var Metres. Mr. Nc
Cravey, who was dressing, says no
heard someone in Van Metros furni
ture workshop cry out that tho lamp
had overturned and the next thing
ho knew the workshop was a mass Of
flames. In his hurry to SEQ about
his family he left new gold watch
on his bureau.
1t was soon realized that there WAS
no hope for the Jerome Hotel, Kings
racket store, Mays stable, Van
Metres, j. A. Platt's, Myers wagon
shop, Cooper and Taylor's hall and
the intermediate shacks. Next TO
McCravey's store thore is a ten foot
alley entirely through the block. On
the north side of the alley on Main
street is May Schaul's store and on
the Assembly street side is Gross
mans clothing store. They had
luck and stopped the fro on each
side. Fortunately Mr.. Schaul did
not disturb his stock except to take
ono of his pledges aud send it away.
In one Of tho Jerome hotel stores
was the King racket store. Nothing
whatever in this store was disturbed
and the doors were left closed for
fear of some insurance complication.
Everything possible was taken out Of
all the other places, but whore there
were heavy groceries and furniture
not much could be done.
There was, of course, considerable

This is probably full estimate of
the value Of the property burned, but
tho insurance is largely approx
mated.
The sito of the Jerome Hotel has
been occupied by hotels for over
seventy years. First it was Briggs,
then Edgar's, then Maybin's, then
Tho Congarec, and then Sherman
burned it. Janey ran it after tho
war, Rutjes managed it until the
Pagan Brothers occupied it and
made it we'll known house. It is
now complete and absolute wreck
and whether another hotel will be
built there is uncertain.

wood-works could hardly fail of being
a highly profitable enterprise. Yet IL is
somewhat doubtful If it would be quite
the success which one so easily imagines
II would Involve, at least skilled or half
skilled labor for the operation of some
of the machines. A bright boy quickly
learns to run wood over a table saw,
but lathe-work needs trained man. Skill
and judgment are needed for many pro-
cesses. All this. however, could be easily
overcome. The more serious question
would be the possibility of getting enough
business to keep the place going. Profit
in woodworking lies in keeping the ma
chinery active. The field is one of con-
siderable extent, and I should be disposed
to advise its inves tigaton by a limited
number. Cabinet work. store, office and
bar fitting, doors. cigar and other boxes,
