Warehouse ut Mayfield Burned
Early This Morning.
900 Hhds. Burned or Ruined--Be-
IoDged 20 Various Firms and
Insured for sac, 900.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE UNKNOWN

A big tobacco storage warehouse
located just north of the depot a.
Mayheld, caught fire this morning
and was completely destroyed, en-
failing a net loss osabout $4,000.
The fire broke out in the Office OF
the warehouse about three o'clock
and when discovered the flames had
gained great Roadway and the fire
fighters had to stand by and let the
barn burn.
Several firms had tobacco stored
In the warehouse. They are Griffith
& Sheriff., Green & Co., Douthit &
Ezell and Il. M. Ballew 4 Co. About
600 hogsheads of leaf were destroy
ed and the loss is estimated at $50 =
900 with $4,000 insurance.
This morning when the Fulton and
Louisville accommodation train
reached Mayfield. Paducah passen-
gers viewed the smoldering ruins of
the barn and tobacco, and Chief of
Police James Collins stated he new
err before saw SO much tobacco in
such condition. Every hogshead was
burned and the loss will be complete.
The origin of the conhagration s
unknown, but no fire had been about
the building.
A Mayfield telegram to The Sun
gives details as follows
The tobacco warehouse business
of r. w. Green and company was
carried on in this building. Local to-
bacco dealers were also using a
part of building for their purchases.
Also Ezell and Douthit had a large
purchase in same building. There
were about 500 hogsheads of tobac-
co priced and in the building. Also
about 100000 pounds of loose to-
bacco, which together with building,
is valued at about $4,000. The
Usher, Wright and Davis agency of
this city. has $4,000 insurance, the
l.. Dupree and Co. agency $12,500,
the Parkhill and Vaughan agency
about $12 900. making total amount
of insurance on tobacco and build
ings about $4,000. II is not known
how fire originated as ii was not dis
covered until about 4 o'clock. The
losses will fall very heavily on some
of parties who had tobacco In the
building as insurance will not pay
losses by at least 80 per cent.

LOAD OF SHOT
ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN EMPT-
led INTO NEGRO'S BREAST.
William Wells, White, Reported to
Have Shot Henry Turner, Col
ored, This Morning.

A colored. farm hand rode to the
city hall this morning and reported a
probable fatal shooting on the May
field road about two miles from the
old fair grounds. He had few par
ticulars of the affair and only knew
the names of the persons figuring in
the shooting.
William Wells, white, a farmer, is
alleged to have shot Henry Turner,
colored, who lives a short distance
from the formers place, in the breast
and stomach with a single-barrel shot
gun. The two men had a quarrel, 1t
Is said. and Wells secured his gun,
came out and shot Turner at a dis
lance of several dozen feet, and far
enough for the load to scatter the
shot.
Turner fell, It is said, and Wells
went into the house. Friends of the
negro hearing the shot. ran to his as
sistance and Wells went about his
work.
Captain Joe Woods turned the mat
ter of arresting Wells over to Sher-
if Lee ID. Potter, IL being out of the
city jurisdiction, and Sheriff Potter
will go out this afternoon to investi-
gate.

STREET MATERIAL
MUCH TALKED OF
Cincinnati Mayor Attests the
Excellence Of Bitulithic.
Mayor Yciser Likes II Best--Boats
should Not Whistle nj the
Wharf.
SOME OTHER MUNICIPAL NOTES.

Evidence of the popularity and ex-
celence of bitulithic material for
streets is coming In to Secretary s.
A. Fowler. of the board Of public
works, every day. Today he received
two new letters, one from the
mayor of Cincinnati, and the other
from q. III. Pendleton, a prominent
attorney there.
The mayor. through his secretary,
states that asphalt has been very un-
satisfactory in Cincinnati, and has to
be frequently repaired, and is slicker
and dustler than bitulithic material.
This is especially true of the kind of
asphalt put down nowadays, which is
said to be inferior in quality to that
formerly used.
Mr.. Pendleton says about the same
thing. Both, in separate letters,
agree In every particular, and say
that they think bitulithic material is
the cheapest material In the long
run, and when properly laid, the best.
Cincinnati is now specifying II in
much of the new street work being
contracted for.
Mayor Yeiser is an enthusiastic
advocate of bitulithic material. He
has been TO both Nashville and st.
Louis, and has closely examined the
streets and talked to many disinter-
ested persons. He says that whenever
a bad bitulithic street is found. which
is seldom, 1t is always due to having
been put down at the wrong time, as
Broadway was here. The paving on
Broadway should have been put off
until warm weather. He finds that
the bitulithic street gives universal
satisfaction in both st. Louis and
Nashville.
