Rock Hill, May 31.-Mr. w. H.
Stewart had the misfortune to lose
his handsome home in Oakland near
the G. M. A., Wednesday afternoon.
Fire broke out about six o'clock In
the kitchen and in q few moments
the house was wrapped In flames.
Everything seemed to conspire to pre-
vent an effective salvage. There was
trouble IN communicating the alarm to
the station. When it finally did reach
the station the fire departemnt was
out on a practice drill and had been
for an hour and the horses were
badly tagged making good time i'm
possible. Consequently when the fire
was reached very little could be done.
An upright piano, Mr.. Stewards desk
and papers and few pieces Of light
furniture were saved. A square pi-
ano and everything else in the house,
the wardrobes of all the occupants,
was destroyed entirely. Mr.. Stewart
was at his farm when the fire broke
out but reached the scene shortly az
terward. He had $4,000 insurance
on the building and about $500 on
! the contents. The value would reach
near $500 making his net loss large.
