On Monday, preceding Christ
mas, four fires broke out in this
city. One a negro shack near
the third ward school building
was burned down. The others
with but small damage except
the Killingsworth Millinery
store where the goods were
damaged by smoke. The store
is now closed awaiting the ar
rival of the Insurance adjuster.
Their rooms are in the Bowen
block facing Central avenue and
quite a good stock is carried.
The proprietor and clerks had
gone home for supper when a
boy discovered the flames aud
ran to the fire department to
give the alarm But for the
promptness and efficiency of the
fire department the whole block
might have gone, for it was near
8 q. M, when quite brisk
breeze was blowing. Fearing
there might still be danger. the
firemen stood guard for over an
hour. The origin of the fire IS
not known. That was the Sec
ond FIRE in that square, as, earlier
in the day the departm ent was
called out to the Phillips block
