A HISTORIC BUILDING BURNED
In This Warehouse the Populist Party
Was Born.

The warehouse burned has an inter
esting history.
Ii was built in 1885 by julius Lewis
4 Co. At that time it was believed
that Raleigh would be great tobacco
market and this warehouse was erected
for the use to which it has ever since
Eeen put.
1t was first occupied by Lipscomb 4
Faison, the late Col. Paul Faison being
a member of the firm. Then for several
years it was used by Mr. Joseph f.
P0gue After hen moved out. having
erected warehouses of his own. it lacked
q tenant for sometime. Then it was oc-
cupied by II. l.. Fleming n Co., who
were burned out yesterday.
In this building the Fifth Maryland
regiment was quartered when it visited
Raleigh during the Exposition here II
was also in this warehouse that Butler
held his secret meeting in 1891. when
the Populist party in this State was
formed.
The other buildings burned were old

NO WATER TO FIGHT THE FIRE
Half an Hour Before the Pressure was
Sufficient.

Shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday
morning it was discovered that the
warehouse. on the corner Of Wilmington
and C;lbarrus streets. was ON fire Smoke
was bursting from the roof and tine
windows Of the third story 1T the north
ern end Of the building
An alarm was turned in and the fire
men responded promptly. Six lines Of
hose We're quickly laid. but when the
water was turned on the pressure was
not sufficient 10 throw the stream SO
much as to the second story. Even
when all the streams except one We're
cut off there was no Improvement in
the force and volume of the water.
All this time the fire was spreading
jumping from rafter to rafter along the
roof OF the big building and dropping
into the tobacco hanging below The
building being of old heart pine and
the tobacco dry and infammablc, the
flames spread with great rapidity.
Direct pressure was called for, but this
made little Improvement in the streams
of water thrown from the nozzles in the
hands of the tiremen. and now tae
building was wrapped in flames with II
breeze blowing from the east. The
heat was intense and in spite Of the
firemen and their pnny streams of water
three Buildings across the street caught
the reSdence Of Mrs. George III. VIII
liams. the stable of Dr. j. A. Sexton
and the residence of Ed Hood.
Still the water pressure was entirely
inadequate and it began to look as if
I'LL the buildings in the neighbOrhoGd
were doomed. In fact the Carrollton
Hotel. the residence of Mr.. Joseph f..
pocue, and three or four others caught
but were put out by volunteer buckets
supplied the firemen by the Water
company.
Finally. alters all danger of further
spread of the flames was about over,
strong pressure was given by the Water
company and the flames We're eXtingulsh-
ed in II few minutes.
The ruins of the warehouse and the
mas, of tobacco i'll it are still shoulder
ing. and last night two or three still
alarms were sent in to turn on water
and put the fire out to keep it from
spreading.
The warehouse was the property OF
Julius Lewis 4 Co., but it was occu-
pied by L. l.. Fleming 4 Co. leaf to-
bacco dealers. They had in it about
10000 pounds OF leaf-abou half Of il
in hogsheads and the other half hanging
up. In all there were between so and
90 hogshcads. OF these 80, OF nearly
half. were rolled out on the street and
saved.
In the warehouse also there was Il new
camping outfit for use of the State ut
encamp1nt nts. The tents We're stored
there for safe keeping. The cost of the
equipment was S2.200 and it was stored
on the third floor of the warehouse. This
equipment was insured for 5000.
The residence occupied by Mrs. VIII
liams was the property of Mr. Joseph
T. Pogue. The Hood residence was
owned by Mr. O. j. Carroll.
Where these buildings stood there Is
now blackened ruins. representing a loss
of about $4,000
