Durham. Y. c.. Oct. 23.-Fire broke out
last night about I O'Clock in the third
story of the west wing of the Duke fac
tory branch OF the American Tobacco
Company. The flames originated in the
coat room of the export department, but
the origin is unknown. There is an au-
tomato sprinkling system throughout the
factory, that turns on the water itself
whenever a room reaches a certain tenn
%perature. This system worked to per-
lection on this occasion and soon put out
the fire. The damage was small, the
most of it being from water.
The First Baptist church, Of this city,
has extended a unanimous call to Rev.
j. c.. Thompson, of Richmond, Va, to
become its pastor, to succeed Rev. DR..
W. c. Tyree, who goes to Raleigh. Rev.
Mr.. Thompson is field secretary Of the
mission board of the State of Virginia.
He is a native of Wake county. A singu-
lar coincidence is that he first suggested
the name of DR.. Tyree as pastor of the
First church of this city. and if he &C
| cepts, will follow DR.. Tyree. Tn call
| was forwarded to him today, and an an
sWer is anxiously awaited.
An effort is being made to secure two
additional tobacco warehouses for Dur
ham. The matter will be taken I'D at
an early date by the Chamber of Com
merce. Sales have been so largely in
creased this fall that the three ware
houses here now have been crowded to
their utmost.

and an able man. In his boyhood he was
schoolmate of Robert G. Ingersoll, the
notorious nineteenth century agnostic.
Several years ago Colonel Ingersoll sent
Judge Tyler bottle Of fine old whiskey
and with the gift letter Judge Tyler,
not to be outdone, sent Colonel Ingersoll
bottle OF whiskey accompanied also by
a letter. These letters have been pre-
served in circular form and were recently
published.
The following is Colonel Ingersolrs let
