FIRE At OAKLAND.
Marshalfs Shovel Factory Damaged About
$1,000 Only Partially Insured.

Oakland. Nc. May 3.-tSpcciaD.-An
alarm of fire VAS sounded. at 9.i5. last
evening, for blaze in the shovel fac
tory Of &. Marshall. The department
responded promptly and made stub
born fight until about O'clock, this
morning. before tire. flames could be
conquered. The fire started in the
southern part of the suilding about the
boiler but just how has not been dis
covered. There was a large amount of
waste there that comes from the ma
chimes in the making of the handles
and which is burned under the boilers.
The fire. however. was allowed to go
down at 3 O'clock, Friday afternoon.
and all the waste and stuff about it
was thoroughly wet down according to
the usual custom. An employee of the
mill was also in the boiler room during
the evening and saw no signs of a fire
then.
The flames spread quickly through
the interior. The building has an iron
roof so this made it difficult to get wa
ter down through at the fire below. The
southern part Of the building suffered
the most but the whole was badly
burned SO that extensive repairs will be
necessary. There was also a large
amount of stock in all stages of manu-
facturc in the building and nearly all
Of this was badly damaged. Mr..
Marshall's son is agent for bicycles and
had large number stored in the mill
but all of these were rescued uninjurcd
The iron roof. although an obstacle for
the firemcn, confined the blaze almost
entirely to the interior.
The damage is rather difficult to csti
mate but Mr. Marshall stated to the
Journal. today. that it would probably
be in the ncighborhoOd of $4,000 and Is
only partially covered by insurance.

HIS HEARsE WAS A DRAY.

"Unwept. unhonored and unsung." save for the presence of his two faith ful friends. Doctor Gardner and Hon. H. C. Gray. the body Of the Hon. Will liam Slade was laid to rest in Wood land cemetery Thursday afternoon.
 Shortly after ? o'clock Thursday af- ternoon an ordinary dray entered the gloomy gates of Woodland. bearing a plain board box. which incased the re- mains of one who had served his coun- try as faithfully as any soldier. and whose father. William Slade, was once governor of Vermont. In his day the deceased occupied high positions of trust in the government service, the la mented Lincoln having appointed him consul to Nice. The post he held with conspicuous ability. and again when ha was appointed consul in Belgium by Grover Cleveland he displayed the same honorable fidelity to duty. He was an accomplished sc1oiar and af- ter he had retired from active life re made many contributions to literatucc that showed the stuff he was made of and stamped him as a man of more than ordinary ability. Long ago f.e studied law and practiced in CIeVe- land, and was once elected to the legis- lature from this district.
 Attaches of the cemetery say that it was one or the most pathetic sights they had eyer witnessed to see the re mains of this man who had once been so honored by his country and his fel- low citizens. with only a dray for q hearsc, being borne to his last resting place. Without song or without ser vice. he was laid away. the two friends of all whom he had known during his days of afiluence being the soie mourn CTS. The dead leaves that futtered from the trees above were the only tributes His only monument was the record of well spent life and his eulogy remained in the hearts of his friends.
 He was born at Middleburg. Vt. in 1916, bur had lived in Gainesville for many years. He died after short ill., ness in the New Cowles house. in Gainesville. Wednesday, He left rela- lives in the east, who were informed of his delth.-CleVeland Plain Dealer.
