The j. c. Baldridge Fire.

The well equipped new lumber yards
and Office building of j. c. Baldridge,
on South First street, is a mass of
ruins today, the result of the most dis
astrous conflagration that has visited
the city for many a day. The entire
block, the recently built brick Office
building, sheds, and the barber shop on
the corner were consumed.
The loss is estimated at about $780,
600, on which about $4,000 or $4,000
insurance was carried.
Confusing Fire Alarms.
In connection with the distressing
mocking bird whistle, alarms were
sent in from four or five different
boxes which was very confusing. The
first discovery found the entire lumber
yards in flames Flames leaping wild
ly into the air and the large columns
of smoke brought half the city to the
scene.
When the fire department reached
the scene the flames covered the entire
block and were spreading rapidly. The
fire boys, assisted by eager volunteers,
worked hard, for it looked as if the
viaduct. Albuquerque steam laundry,
Beaven's coal and wood yards would
in a short time be a mass of flames.
But the fire fighters put forth great ex-
ertion and in a short time the blazing
telegraph poles on the viaduct and the
smoking timbers of the viaduct were
under control. After il was seen that
it was impossible to save the lumber
yards and buildings, the fire fighters
used all their efforts in confining the
fire within the arena of shooting
flames.
The great crowds who had gathered
to see the beautiful yet disastrous con-
fiagration kept well back, in fact it was
the only thing they could do, as the
heat was so intense that it was almost
unendurable to get within a hundred
feet of the fire.
Crumbling Brick WALL
The walls of the large brick Office
building filled with doors, windows.
boxes of window glass and paint, look
ed dangerous from the time the fire
started, However, they only began to
tumble down after the entire interior
had been burned out and the vast
amount of stock fallen to the floor.
Many fears were expressed lest the
brave fire fighters be caught beneath
the falling brick walls But most for
tunately not single life was lost. nor
were there any accidents.
There are various opinions as TO the
origin of the fire. The universal opin-
ion is that it was the work of incen-
diaries. Several people, who live on
First street, claim they passed the
lumber yards not ten minutes to the
-time the sea of flames were seen. and
that there was no indication of fire. 1t
Is thought that whoever set fire TO the
yards used oil most iavishhy. as there
kas no breeze or draft to cause the
flames to spread in the mysterious

CANNOT SELL CIGARS
How the Trust Literally Gives
Them Away.
Done 10 Keep the Smaller Man From Selling
His Goods.--Ten thousand Given Away
in Raleigh in Two DAYS.

The fact that the Norwood Cigar Com
pany of this city, the maker of several
brands of we'll known cigars, has decided
to discontinue manufacturing cigars, has
caused much regret in Raleigh. The
reason assigned for going out of business
by a member OF the firm is that business
has been so poor of late that no profit
was being made. In other words they
could not sell their cigars to the trade.
Here are some facts that show how
the American Tobacco Company is driv
ing the smaller concerns out of business
and why home company cannot sell its
product to the retailers of it's own town.
Recently in Raleigh, within two days,
ten thousand cigars were given away by
agents Of the Tobacco Trust. And they
were not given through retailers or as
premiums upon sales, but literally given
away from house to house and handed out

sembled in the reception rooms of the
club last night the object being to take
into consideration the question of new
interior decorations and new furnishings
A committee consisting of Messrs. H. E.
Litehford and II. w. Miller which had
been appointed to obtain estimates and
plans for wall decorations, made full re-
ports, submitted propositions from sew
eral parties and after some discussion
resolution was offered by Mr.. f. B. Aren-
dell declaring 1t the sense of the mem
bers of the club that the interior of the
club building be decorated and beau
titled at cost not exceeding two thou
sand dollars, and that a committee of
nine members be named who, together
with the president, should take the mat
ter in hand and direct the work A mo-
tion was made to make the amount to be
expended $4,000 and to include in the
new improvements such new furniture as
might be necessary The resolution, as
amended, was passed and the following
committee was named to make contracts
for and direct the new improvements:

it is evidently the wish of the members
of the club generally to make the rooms
