| Florence, Ala, Nov. %. The hand

Wood avenue, valued at from 81, 900 Il
$8, 900. was burned this morning at

furnace and when Mrs. Wilson, who
was the only member of the family up,
came down stairs, the flames had
made great Roadway. Capt. Wilson
and his sons escaped partly clothed and
hatless. Nothing was saved.
The house and furniture were in

about half the loss. as many valuable
