FIERCE FIRE AT THE TUNIs COM
rANY,s PLANT NEAR NORFOLK.
MILLION FEET DESTROYED.
The Entire Kiln System and Much
Valuable Machinery Also Consun'-
cd-The Loss Approximates Fifty
Thousand-Origin Unknown.
MILLION FEET DESTROYED.

NORFOLK. VA. November 1.-Fire
noon in the fan room of the Immense
,Tunis Lumber Company's kiln system.
on the southern branch of the Elizabeth
river. about three miles from Norfolk,
and before it could be gotten under con-
troll 100000 feet of lumber. the entire
kiln system, and much valuable machin-
cry had been destroyed by the flames.
a telephone alarm was sent to the Fire
Department Of Berkeley as soon as the
hlaze was discovered, and an engine COM
pany responded. The Norfolk departmet
was asked for aid, and sent over an engine
and hose company, While several tire tugs
assisted from the water front. For
time it looked as if the large Barnes &
Greenleaf Johnson lumber mills and kilns
would catch fire from the flying embers,
for these two plants are only across
small creek from the Tunis plant. This
is now leased by the Surry Lumber Com
pany.
A very conservative estimate of the loss
is $4,000 with insurance on the buildings
and stock It may reach a higher figure.
At o'clock the fire was under control.
Its origin is unknown.
Another Account.
The Iun1S LUMBER Company ) great
plant on the southern branch of the
Elizabeth river took fire tonight. and
some sixteen dry kilns were consumed.
together with their contents. The entire
great plant Of the Tunis Company was
threatened from the first. Fire tugs and
the Berkeley Fire Department. as well as
the companys own fire apparatus. were
soon on the scene and working to save the
acres of lumber and machine shops. The
Try kilns are estimated to be worth some
s35 600. and Mr.. Theopolis Tunis says that
the insurance will approximate some S2o,-
100.
The origin Of the fire is unknown, save
that in a saw-lnil sparks from the 1ur-
mace and spontaneous combustion In the
sawdust are of frequent occurrence. The
'runis Company has branch In Baltl-
more, and it Is we'll known as one OF the
very greatest lumber concerns.

Because of Alleged
Cruelty
AND iNAUMAN TREATMENT OF
HIS OWN MOTHER, AN oc-
ToGENARlAN.
His Conduct Since His Debut in Pine
Bluff Has Been Very Dis
graceful.
CONDEMNED BY EVERYBODY

Dr. Wells LeFevre, a full account or
whose arrest appeared in Wednes-
days Graphic secured continuance rf
his trial until next Saturday in his
case, which was set for o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon. The continuance
was granted on account of the absence
of witness which he deemed neces'
sary to his cause.
He was released from custody on :,
$500 bond, furnished by his attorneys,
White and Altheimer.
This latest escapade of DR.. LIE Fevre
was the sole topic of conversation up
on the streets Wednesday afternoon
and evening and is being generally
discussed today.
The detailed account of the affair
as given in the Graphic, was widely
read and the feeling of the public was
reused to very high pitch. In every
home of this city his outrageous con-
duct toward his aged mother was dis,
cussed, and not soul retired at night
without expressing the utmost indig-
nation at his conduct
About the corridors of the various
hotels, and in the public places of
the city, his inhumanity was the only
subject discussed
While no violence was agitated, ev-
cry one thought that he should BE-
the law, and then escorted to the near
est depot with further and explicit
directions to change his place of abode
No one has been found yet who
doubts the statement Of his aged an
infirfn mother It was told with sucn
degree of earnestness that it could
not be doubted. Those who know
this estimab1e and venerable old lady
best, are loudest in the condemnation
of the man whom she is of necessity
forced to call her son. lie Fevre has
been dealt with very charitably in tho
past. notwithstanding his record OF
local notoriety. But in treating his in
firm mother in the manner in
which he is alleged to
have done and which no one doubts
for an instant. be has laid on the

years ago. When he came here the
city was in the throes Of an anti-vacc;

Roschbaum. AS in all things he i'm
mediately sought his level, and asso
ciated himself with Roschbaum in his
effort to prevent the enforcement of
the law, and for advertising his ir
ternal method Of applying the vaccine
virus. In the fight he was thwarted,
but he picked up many shekels from
the unsuspecting.
Next he figured in sensational di.
vorce suit which brought him into
general contempt.
Having gotten rid of his wife he was
free to pursue his course, and it has
so it is said, been a grossly immoral
one ever since.
Now he is accused of one Of the
