FIRE AT SENECA.
Thought To Be Work of Negro ColleE, Stu0AufR.-


 Columbia, s. C.. Oct. 17-The town of Seneca was visited by fire at an early hour this morning and property worth about $75.00O was destroyed. The prop erty was insured for $25,000.
 The fire originated in the Oconee Inn. new brick hotel. which was totally destroyed. The Palmetto Hotel, recent ly completed, together with the stores of Hunt and Harper. Luther Moore. and Stribling's Pharmacy, were burned.
 Both hotels were well filled with guests and there were several narrow escapes. The doors of several rooms were forced in order to rescue the oc- cupants.
 Rumors were circulated earl ythat the fire was the result of incendiarism and was started by negroes In revenge for the destruction of a negro college by dynamite at that place on Sunday night last. Later investigation, however, showed that there was little on which to base the rumors. The negro popu- lation of the town did everything in its power to stay the progress of the flames. As the town had no fire ap- paratus, 1t was necessary tousedyna- mite to check the fire.
