Another Old Landmark Gone.

The Hawks Coach Factory, which was
once the Presbyterian Church. but for the
last twenty-seven years owned and oper-
ated by Mr.. Louis p Starry as carriage
repair shop is now a mass Of ruins, hav-
ing been licked up by the flames in We'd
nesday nights big fire. 1t was a sad
sight to see this old building go down. 1t
was a great pride to many of our older
citizens when a church it stood in the
old Presbyterian graveyard southwest
corner of Congress and West streets. In
the early ffties the late Maj Wells J..
Hawks bought the church building for
$500, tore it down and rebuilt it on Lib
erty street, on the same plan, still repre-
senting the appearance of church, Gu
pola or steeple included. But now it is a
picture of sadness, especiallyto the older
portion of our population. Mr.. Starry,
we understand. will proceed at once 10
rebuild on the old walls.

Big Fire In Charles Town.

Our town on Wednesday night last
was visited by one Of the most Obstructive
fires we have had in a number of years.
About 1890 p. m. fire was discovered IN
the stable of Mr.. f. c. Sibert, of The
Palm hotel, on North George street.
From this building the flames were quick
ly communicated to the carrirge sheds of
Mr.. w. E. Myers adjoining, and from
thence to the big livery stable of Mr.
Myers on the corner. The heat soon be-
came intense, and on the north side the
stable of Mr.. John H. Bishop was licked
up by the flames and window frames and
sash and other woodwork of the brick
shop of Mr.. Bishop occupied by
Mr.. o. M. Darlington,) We're burned.
Across wide George street to the west the
intense heat scorched and broke the glass
in the dwellings of Messrs. Edwin F..
Davis and c. F. Wall and the store of
the latter. doing Mr.. Walls front up
pretty badly. On the east of Mr.. Sibert's
stable and the big livery stable of Mr..
Myers the fire soon burned large gran
airy of Mr.. LOUIS P. Starry containing 1870
bbls. of corn, and attacked the we'll
known Hawks Coach Factory building of
Mr.. Starry, and 1t was not great while
before the familiar old cupola toppled.
the root fell in and the interior of this
big stone building was practically Quilted.
By heroic efforts the fire was arrested at
this otherwise the chances were
that it would have soon been over into
the extensive Phillips lumber yard and
planning mill. and large portion OF the
town destroyed.
All the live stock in the two stables
was gotten out without injury except one
of the hack horses of Mr.. Sibert. which
was severly burned, and which but fol
the heroic efforts of Mr. Mason Site.
would have persisted IN the flames.
The fire was quick one. and extremely
hot. In the great rush to save live stock
and property there were some accidents
Mr.. Oscar Dennis had a fingers broken
Mr. John H. Bishop was burned about
the neck and face, getting his horses out
Mr.. J. Shirley Smith was badly bruised
about his lower limbs Mr.. John 4, Por
terfeld was struck in the eye; and Reuben

had his arm badly sprained.

interesting Mexican War orders.

Col. Geo. A.. Porterfeld, who is the
last surviving veteran of the Mexican
war residing in Charles Town, has shown
us an old order book of the division of
the army stationed at Buena Vista. Mex
leo, during the latter part of the Mexican
war. whilst that division was under COM
mand of the Colonel of the Virginia
regiment, from which we copy the fol-
lowing. The first is the order of Gen.
Taylorupon taking leave.of hiscommand.
This is. perhaps. the last order of Gen.
Taylor as an officer OF the army, as he re-
manned on leave of absence until his
election to the Presidency

Il. Major General Taylor having re-
ceived leave of absence from the War
Department. relinquishes the command
of the army of occupation. 1t devolves
upon Brig. Gen'l. John E. Wool. to whose
headquarters all commanders and the
chiefs of the staff departments will in fu-
ture make their reports.
2. 1t is with no ordinary regret that the
general now takes leave of his command,
A few veteran companies of Dragons
and Artillery have served under his eye,
on fields rendered illustrious by their
gallantry and that of their comrades
other corps need but the opportunity to
| signalize their bravery and their dis
cipline.
To ALL both officers and men of the
line. and of the staff departments, the
general would express his satisfaction
with the present state of instruction and
efficiency, and his confidence that under
the orders of the distinguished genera
who succeeds TO the command, they vii
zealously maintain the interests and the
honor of the country.
