Camden at the Mercy Of Flames.
Not Il Drop of Water With Which
to Fight. Heart of City Now
IN Ashes. Started from Ker.
oSene Lamp.
The State, 22nd INST.

The State, 22nd INST.
The pretty little city ofCamden
Is at the mercy of flames. A fire
started there last night at about
1890 o'clock from the explosion
OF a kerosene lamp. All 1.-The prin,
cipal places of business in the
heart of the city have been dcs-
treyed, and the loss is figured at
more than 100000. The city
was absolutely at the mercy of the
flames as the power house which
furnished power for pumps sup
plying water tanks was burned
some time ago and there was not
drop of water TO he had.
The first news of the fire reach
ed here about IL O'Clock, when
Chief May of the Columbia Fire
department was asked for aid, be.
ing told the circumstances. Of
course ordinary engines gould be
of no value, but there was urgent
need of chemical apparatus, dyna-
mite, hooks and ladders, etc.
Chief May acted quickly and by
1880 a. m. special was made up
in the Seaboard yard. Aboard
were the big two-horse chemical
engine of the Olympia department,
chemical fire eXtinguishers, plenty
OF ladders and rope hooks. Chief
May and some of his Test men,
accompanied by a representative
of The State, went on the special.
At $50 o'clock this morning
a 'phouc message from Camden
from member of The State staff,
who went over on the special,
stated that the special had run u
nile a minute gait to Camden, but
the services Of the fremen and
their apparatus were not needed
when they arrived. They were
reloading at 2 o'clock to start
home. The fire had been gotten
under control at Villepigue's on
the one end and the bank on the
other.
The loss was estimated Mt S1OO,
600. The fire started in Apple
by's store from the explosion of n
kerosene lamp. The citizens had
fought the fire with buckets of
water. The best business block in
the town was destroyed. In ad-
dition to the Appleby store the
following places were burned:
w. H. Zemp, shoes.
S. l.. Zemp, drugs.
jenkins Bros, bicycles.
S. E. Mathis, shoes.
VIM. Geisenheimer, furniture.
j. G. Man, tive buildings, one
unoccupied, the other occupied by
the owner in q hardware and gen.
eral merchandise business. In this
building were tho postotiice
and English Bros. barber shop.
The mails and contents of the post
Office were saved.
Very little was saved from the
other places named.
The plate glass windows of the
stores across the street were all
ruined by the intense heat.
The fire was under control Mt
$3.50 o'clock and no further dan d,
ger was apprehended. The State's $
Representative said that the fire
was still burning, but there was
absolutely no danger of a further
spread.
