Goldsboro, N. c.. Sept. 1S.-A fire
which started in the rear of Messrs.
Bizzell e. Wooten's wholesale and re-
tail grocery store, on West Walnut
street yesterday morning about 1885
o'clock, did considerable damage.
When the fire was discovered it
seemed to be near the elevator which
runs up stairs to the departments used
by the Goldsboro Drug Company for
their manufacturing business. but no
one really knows where it started. The
fire department was soon upon the
scene and fought the fire bravely, but
it was soon seen that if other help
was not had the fire would sweep the
whole business block. and a call was
sent in for the reel company of Webb
town and the fire engine both of
which were soon upon the scene, rem
dering valuable aid. The fire was got
ten under control after several hours
of hard work. MessrS. BiZZell &
Wooten are the heaviest losers, their
whole stock which is estimated at
between $4,000 and $4,000, being
completely ruined by water and smoke.
The chemicals which were up stairs,
were flooded, and ran down stairs all
over the goods, discoloring them
badly.
The Goldsboro Drug Company is the
next heaviest loser. their stock, which
was completely lost. being estimated
at anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000.
The Fonvielle Grocery Company
comes next with loss of several hun
dred dollars occasioned by smoke.
The damage to the building will not
exceed $4,000.
There are many who think that the
fire was of incendiary origin.
All the parties to the loss carried
insurance, but not enough to cover
losses sustained.
