FIRE IN FLORENCE.
Partial Destruction of a Large
Tobacco Ware House.

Florence, Jan. 18.-The large new
brick stemmery and dry plant of the
Enterprise Tobacco Company, operat-
ed by the Charles A. Gregory Tobacco
Company, came very near being de-
stroyed by fire at o'clock this morn
ing; as it is, the plant is badly dam
aged and it will cost several thousand
dollars to repair it. The Ere was dis
covered in what is known as the dry
room and had made considerable head
way before being detected. The sub
stantial manner in which the build
ings we're erected and the precautions
used for subduipg the flames in case
of fire, and the excellent system OF
water-works, together with the hard
work of the fire department, under the
direction of Chief Wilkins, reduced
the loss to a very great extent OF saw
ing the property from complete de-
struction.
The ertire plant is owned by the
Enterprise Company and is valued at
s22, 000 The insurance carried on the
plant is SO, 500 The loss on the plant
will be about S., coo. The stock of leaf
sobacco was owned by the Charles
A. Gregory Tobacco Company and was
valued at s6, 900. The loss and dam
age from fire, smoke and water will
amunt to So, 500.

board OF, lady managers, which posi-
4ions were resigned owing to certain
charges of official misconduct OF the
deceased, of which the ST. Louis pa
pers were full at the time. Mr.. Blair
had sustained severe injury to his
ankle before he came here and this,
With his mental condition, is believed
TO have. FASTENED his death. The

fcate is cerebral congestion. The body

new YORK IN THE
PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.
pIatt-odeIl Fight Threatens Re-
publican Success in the Enl-
Dire State.

New York, most important of doubt
full States, will be party and fac
tional storm centre in the coming
Presidential campaign. Democracy
has new stimulus in the rise of
Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany
leader, by force of sensational ability
to handle the most complex political
machinery. David B. Hill is over
shadowed. The party will fight Re-
publican organization torn by strug,-
gle between an old man with an Cd
machine behind him, and young
man with the yigor and skill to con-
struct a machine of his own. The
factional fight for leadership has a
national interest at this time.
Senator Thomas G. Platt is past
seventy. When he sits through long
dinner bis body droops with physical
WEAKNESS, and he becomes childishly
petulant. Benjamin B. Odel, Jr., Gov
error Stree 1900, is fifty. He was
Chairman of the Republican State
Committee before PlaSt put him for
ward as candidate for Governor to
succeed Theodore Roosevelt, who, it
was believed, had been sidetracked po-
,litically by Platt when he was made
his party's candidate for Vice-Presl-
dent.-Collier's Weekly.
