CHRIST1ANSBuRG. VA, December
19.-News has just been received here
of fire that occurred about 4 o'clock
this morning on the edge of Floyd
county. in which Mr.. Mat p. Fulcher,
candidate for the State Senate from
Floyd In the last election. was burned
to death, and his house and contents
entirely consumed before any one
reached the scene of disaster.
Mr.. Fulcher who was sixty years
old. lived entirely alone. and no one
knows how the fire originated: Mr.. F..
p. Williams. a neighbor. did not reach
there until 5 o'clock. and was-the first
to discover the tragedy. AS Mr.. Fulch
er was popular man in his section
and is known not to have had an en-
envy. It S hardly thought that the fire
could have been the work of an incen-
diary. The value of the building is
not known. but there was $3.50 insur-
ance on the building and contents in
the FLOYD Mutual Benefit Association.
Mr.. Fulcher leaves three children
