Tuscaloosa November 5.-(SpeciaL)-
 Tuscaloosa was visited by quite a disas- trous fire at an early hour this morning
 As result the entire Turner block, on the corner of Broad street and Twenty second avenue, is completely destroyed, and two store houses adjoining practically gutted.
 The fire, originated last night about o'clock The alarm was turned in and the fire was promptly extinguished, it was thought. Two small houses to the rear of the block caught fire and these com municated the fire to the Turner block. This latter was completely covered with sheet iron, and the fire did not make much headway, and it was an easy mat ter to check the flames at this stage. As above stated, all the fire fighters left the place in about an hours time, thinking every vestige was out
 However, about 2:3O o'clock the entire roof of the building burst in flames, and the fire was under such headway before discovered that no amount of work availed anything.
