DESTROYED BY FIRE
The Commercial Hotel at
Kinston Gone.
Servant Awakened by Sitting Smoke. Guests
Escape in Night Clothes. Splendid
Work Of Firemen.
Especial to the News and Observer

lSDeCldl 10 the News ana oDSerNer.)
Kinston, \. C., March S.-The CONNER
cial Hotel, the second largest hotel in
kinston, was entirely destroyed by fire
last night with most of its contents.
About 12:45 a. N. d servant who was
sleeping in the rear portion of the build
ing was awakened by the sitting smoke
in her room and rising quickly gave the
alarm to the proprietors. When discov-
cred the fire had enveloped both stories
OF the rear portion OF the building so
that it is not known whether it caught
from above or below.
The alarm was at once turned in ana
the first effort of the fire company and
the energetic proprietor was to alarm
and rescue the guests, some OF whom
were rushed out into the street in night
dress. All were saved but most of the
clothing and furniture was lost.
About ten minutes after the fire engine
began throwing water on the flames the
pumping apparatus on the engine col
la psed and could not be repaired. The
hose was then attached to the water
pipe direct and four good streams of
water played on the fire until its ex-
tjnguishment, about 4 o'clock this morn
ing.
No other buildings were injured except
OutbuildingS in the rear and belonging
to the hotel, which were destroyed also.
The hotel was owned by Mr.. R. II.
Rountree, of New York, and was insured
for $4,000, which will nearly cover the
loss, though the building Originally cost
more than twice that sum.
The proprietors, MessrS. w. f. Morrill,
and L.. L. Hargrave, lost all their furni-
ture and clothing save a mere handful,
rot over $25 worth in all, and were in
sured for 1880, which will about half
cover their loss.
The fire company did noble and eff
cient work and saved many thousands of
dollars to Kinston. The handsome new
building of T. w. MewborEe & Co., whole
sale grccers, Just completed, would I'M
doubtedly nave been consumed but for
their efforts, besides many frame struc-
lures closely crowded together and sur
rounding the hotel on all sides.

MAY BE A SPECIAL MESSAGE.
Getting Forth the Views Of the President On
Reciprocity.
BY the Associated Press

CBy the Associated treSS.J
Washington, March S.-Speaker Hen
Ierson and Chairman Payne, of the
Ways and Means Committee, and Senator
Allison, member of the Finance Com
mittee, called at the White House today,
presumably in relation to the pending
There was the most positive declination
to discuss the purposes of the call. It
was said, however, that the President
had in no way changed his attitude fav-
ora BILE to reciprocity. In this connec-
ton there were renewed limitations of
q special message which would set forth
the Presidents views on the subject.
The Republican members Of the Ways
and Means Committee favorable to Gu
ban reciprocity have held long confer
erces to perfect their organization for
carrying forward the contest. In con
nection with these conferences the belief
has gained ground that there would be
a special message, if it proved to be
necessary.
There was rencwed talk of compromise
today, one report being that II per cent.
reciprocity might be substituted for 20
per cent. Both sides, however, denied
the II per cent compromise story.
h plan of having a committee visit
Cuba and investigate the needs for re-
ciprocity was revived during the day and
was discussed as a possible solution, al
( though there was no indication that
those in authority were ready to accept
the plan.
