FIRE AT DAYTON. VA.

Mr.. Will Mellott sends us the
following account of fire that
will be interesting to those of our
readers who have friends at Day
ton. Ed.
About 3 O'Clock on the morning
of the 9th ult., the citizens of
Dayton, Va, were aroused by
the alarm of fire.
1t consumed several large
buildings, including a drug store,
the postoffice, Helms Hall, U. B.
church, Waverly House and sew
eral dwellings,. The fire origina-
ted on the second floor of the
drug store. it was held in check
for half an hour, but in spite of
all Dayton could do, it, with 9th
er buildings, was burned to the
ground. The men and boys work
ed faithfully with no water works
except a hand force pump, and
one valve of that did not work
well. After draining a few cis-
terms near, they hauled the pump
to the mill race. Here the trou-
BILE began, for the hose was too
short to reach the fire, which
was gaining ground fast. The
Harrisonburg Fire Campany was
then phoned for to bring more
hose; at the same time country
people were sent for. The Fire
Company was detained somewhat
on account of conveyance, but in
an hour and half they arrived,
connected the hose, set the coun-
try men to the pump while they
went to tearing down an old build
ing to break the course of the
flames. The Fire Company be-
ing well trained soon controlled
the fire.
The exact cause of the fire is
not known. There are many who
believe the fire to have been of in
cendiary origin. If it is found
that an incendiary has been at
work, and he be caught, it is not
likely that he will get off easily.
A railroad conductor in Cen
trail Pennsylvania was passing
through his coach taking up tick
cts, when he noticed an Obstrep-
erous pickanninny in the arms of
its mother, a buxom lady, who
was making a strenuous effort to
satisfy the baby's appetite aud
pacify it by offering it "nourish-
ment," which the babe uproar-
iously refused to accept. The
mother repeatedly urged the
child to "take you dinna'" and
finally as last argument TO in
duce the child to partake of the
natural food, she said; ''rake
You dinna, or I'll give it to dc
Co'ductl'."

"ALONG TIE KENNEBEC."

The Christmas attraction at the Howard
opera house was the New England
comedy Along the Konnebcc," which
was PLAYED both afternoon and evening
TO good houses. Tie play is appropriate
to the season of the year and the COM
pany presenting it is rather above the
average.
This is the first time that "Along the
kennepec" has been seen in this city. It
contains the usual amount Of fun which
goes to- make UP the rural comedy and
several new features, among which Is a
very realistic quarry explosion in the third
act. The duel scene in the same act was
50 very funny that it moro than offset
the tragic effect OF the explosion.
