lieve in any of the business that can
not be demonstrated scientifically.
One day, not = great while after the
present elevator to the house press
gallery had been put in, my mother
sent for me to stop at her house on
my way downtown, as she had some
thing particular to see me about. I
went, and she asked me If there
wasn't new elevator to the press
gallery. told her one had been
put in three or four months before
that. She said that was it, and that
l must not ride in it. for she had
dreamed the night before that had
been crushed to death in il. I
laughed at her, of course, and went
on my way. Down on f street met
an aunt who told me she had some
thing odd TO tell me. She said she
had been the day before, with a niece
OF her husband, to see a fortune tell
er, as the niece had taken fancy to
see one of those fakirs. The fortune
teller, however, instead of telling the
niece anything, had directed her re-
marks to her (my aunt) and had told
her that she had relative, a young
man, whom she should warn, as he
would be crushed to death in an ele-
vator. That was rather a jar to me,
as l was her only young man relative,
and as I had SO shortly before been
warned by my mother. However,
laughed at her also and went ON nv
way to the capitol.
Il went about the committee rooms
awhile. and at last, quite forgetful of
my late warnings, went to the ele-
vator to go up to the gallery. The
elevator man, an old fellow whom /

opening it he talked to me through
the bars.

THREE FIRES.
Narrow Escape of Alex Brent's
Family.
frs. JOhnson's Residence And
The Adams Homestead
Also Burned.

The residence of A. c. Brent, the
Seventh street colored grocer, was
destroyed by fire about 2 o'clock
yesterday morning. together with
entire contents. The building was
situated at the corner of Twelfth
and Campbell streets and was a
very substantial cottage. The
owner of the house had been to
Clarksville and returned shortly
after the fire. His wife was the
only occupant Of the building and
she had a very narrow escape,
barely having time to get out in her
night clothes. The fire department
turned out in very few minutes,
but owing to the combustible nature
of the building, the flames we're
soon beyond control.
The loss is about $1,000. There
was 5000 insurance on the building,
$500 on piano and $500 on furniture.
1t is not known how the fire origi
mated.

Escape.

Mrs. f. e. Luttrell, of Pee Dee,
had a very narrow escape from
serious or perhaps fatal injury yes
terday morning. While standing
near a CRATE her dress caught on
fire and quick as flash the flames
leaped up the iull length OF her
body. Mr.. Luttrell was in the
room and as his wife attempted to
run he caught her and held her
while he picked up a bucket of
water and threw it over her, check
ing the flames until he could
smother them out. Mrs. Luttrell
escaped with slight injuries, but
her husbands hands were very
painfully burned.
