Statement Compiled ny
Insursnce Commissioner Carr.

Augusta, February 7.-Hon. S. w.
Carr, state Insurance. commissioner. has
compiled table showing the number Of
fires which occurred In the state during
the past year, as well as the cause In each
case, the loss sustained, and the value Of
property exposed to danger from fire. The
total number OF fires during the period
was 1884, involving property valued as
81, ,Og5, 9i3. and causing losses aggregatinz
81, sSs, 900. a decreafe Of $4,000 from the
figures Of last year. In 800 casesa total
loss resulted.
Detective chimneys and flues were re-
sponSibls for more fires and greater loss
than any other known cause. 2e3 fires
having originated from them and causing
lose of more than a quarter OF = million
dollars. Lightning Is given second place
on the list with a total Of 1888.
Thsrs was an average OF one fire each
day for the entire year where the cause
was reported as unknown" Children
playing with matcnes are charged with
responsibility re for starting A fires, caus-
ing a loss OF $3.50 ana endangsrIng
nearly 500, 900 worth Of property. Mice
and matches exposed s5S, 900 worth Of
property to danger and increased the
grano total of loss for the year by a little
more than sls,7 One fire was started
from the SUMS rays beating on tin can,
and thirty-one others are in the list as
due TO the carelsssness OF tobacco
smokers. Sixty-four fires originated from
sparks from locomotives, destroying $780,
100 worth OF property, and spontaneous
com bustions caused q loss estimated at
Sl7, 1894. The value of property exposed to
placed at $3.50. An even hundred
thousand dollars worth of property was
endangered by fires which caught from
gas jsts; but the sntire loss from this
cause was only s74l.
An interesting table showing the per-
centage OF fires of unknown and incen-
diary origin for the several years since
the enactment of the law providing for
{ he investigation OF tires, also has been
made up by Mr.. Carr, and a very marked
decrease in the percentage Is shown. The
law went into effect In May, 1895, and
during the remainder OF that year the
Gauss CT SO "a per Mt of all tres W 5
given as unknown" while s. "a per cent
reported as 'incendiary." Since that
tune each year has seen a stead J decrease
in the percentage until In 1900 only 1919
per cent were reported as origin I'M
known, and 1856 por cent only as I'm
oendiary." There were only 80 inoendi-
ary tires In the state during 1900, against
ts for the year 1899. a decrease OF nearly
"a per cent.
