DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Buggy Shops and Market Burned.


This morning "Wednesday at 3
o'clock the scream Of fire rang out
somewhere about the centre of the
town. The sleeping people were
aroused one after another and into al
most every mans window there gleam-
ed light which startled as soon as
curtains were raised or blinds opened.
Nothing so "stirs up" people in small
town as big fire at the uncanny hour
of 8 o'clock In the morning.
Soon crowds were gathering to the
fire, which was in the Carolina Buggy
Company's shops on the east side of
Main street. When first discovered
the flames we're bursting through the
roof of the building and there was no
thought of saving it. The town mar
ket house, about twenty-five or thirty
feet south of the shops, soon caught
and both buildings being OF wood they
were quickly consumed. The brick
structure north of the burning shop.
known for a quarter Of century as
"the brick MILL" would haye burned
had it been a wooden building. It is
occupied by the Scotland Neck shirt
factory, and seemed sure to burn at one
time. The windows towards the fire
were burned out, but by hard work the
building was saved.
On the south the block OF buildings
known as 'sKitchin row" would haye
burned had the wind not been from the
south. The corner room of the huild
ing next to the market house is DR.
Clark's office and at one time the build
ing became so hot and the danger sc
imminent DR.. Clark had his book
moved out. Had the stable on the To-
formerly occupied by DR.. Pope no
been covered with metal, number O
houses would have burned there any
way.
The Carolina Buggy Company is thu
property of Mr.. J. E.. Woodland and thu
loss, he says, is about 81 800 or So ,0O'
covered by 5000 Insurance. The build
ing belonged to the W. II. Kitchi,
estate and was not insured.
The market building belonged t.
Mr.. S. J. Stern who ran stall in thu
building. It was valued at $500 ant
he carried $500 insurance on 1t. Th'
meats In the market were all saved an,
the loss was not much in that respect
Besides MIR. Storms stall there was on
run by Mr.. w. NJ. Deloatch and ais
one by a colored man named Jacob Hill
Mr.. T. II. Pritchard's loss by stool
damaged in the shirt factory, was abou
$500, but fully covered by insurance.
There was also some loss to the tele
phone company in the burning Q
phones, poles and wires.
It was the second largest fire in tn
town for many years.
There are perhaps fifteen peopl
thrown out of employment by reaso
of the fire. The Carolina Buggy Con
pany employed ten persons all tn
time and the helpers about the marke
will make perhaps more than fifteen.
Mr.. Woolard lost valuable tools, ha
: dozen new buggies and some other ne
, work with several hundred dollars
worth of new material.

STATE DEMOCRATS PLANS.
MR. CoLER MAY NOT BE ELECTED CHAIR
MAN OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

IBY TELEGRAPH 20 THE TRIBUSE.l
Albany, July 9.-Ex-Senator David B. Hill,
who Is apparently the executive chief of the
Democratic party in this State declined to make
any statement to-day about the report from
Syracuse that ex-Mayor James K. Mcclure has
resigned his place as chairman of the executive
committee Of the Democratic State Committee.
Mr. MCGUIRE is an intimate friend OF the
Senator. and it can be predicted that he will
be present at the Democratic State Convention
heartily supporting Mr.. Hills policy at the con-
vention. The resignation" therefore, cannot
be interpreted to mean that Mr.. Mcclure does
not intend to take active part in the pres
ent years campaign. but simply that he does
not wish official letters of the Democratic State
Committee to be sent TO him at Syracuse. That
is the meaning given here TO Mr.. McGuires al
legged resignation
Persons not acquainted with the organization
Of the Democratic party are naturally not aware
that Mr.. McGuire's term of office as chairman
Of the executive committee of the Democratic
party expired at the termination of the political
campaign of 1900. He elected for the en-
suing campaign" His term of office, therefore,
really expired year and half ago. He is not
a member of the Democratic State Committee.
The representative of his Senate district in the
Democratic State Committee is Eugene Hughes.
of Syracuse, treasurer of the committee. The ex-
ecutive committee appointed in 1900 but now
out of Office. had its members James h Nc
Guire. David B. Hill. Edward Murphy. jr, Rich
ard Croker Hugh Mclaughlin. Elliot Danforth,
Perry Belmont, John Whalen, Arthur Mclean
Girard Diehl, John L. Shea, Jacob Gerling, Will
lam F. Grell, Frank d. Creamer, Charles n
Buger. John j. Kennedy and Thomas II. Dowd.
Some of these were members OF the Democratic
State Committee and some were not.
The report is not credited here in the least
that ex-Controller Bird S. COler of New-York
will be elected chairman of the executive
committee in Mr.. McCiuire's place. Indeed. IL is
regarded as having no foundation whatever. for
Mr. Coler is a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor. Moreover. it is not
expected here that a chairman of the eXecu-
tive committee will be elected until after the
Democratic State Convention has been held, late
in September. and new Democratic State Com
mittee chosen. Then il is thought that the
lection of chairman will be governed by the
man nominated for Governor

Count Jean admitted various lberaties, but
declared his opponents did the same. He de-
MED the charge of accepting clerical interfer-

The invalidation of the election of Count Jean
is interesting because the elections of his broth

tested on similar charges. and the Chamber may
possibly invaIidate them.
