The fire broke out at l21S o'clock in the rear of the store of the Eutaw drug store. and burned one en- tire block. The men of the town work ed on the fire soon after 1t started, but there was not much water pressure for some time and the fire soon got beyond control. The entire block, with one exception. was of frame buildings.
 There was no insurance on any of the buildings.
 Those burned were: c. I. Geary. one store. two dwellings; F. P. Jarvis. one store: William Shaw and J. H. Harris one store; B. D. Palmer. one store :; Harwood & McKinly, one store. one dwelling; T. G. Lamb. livery stable; w W. Holly. two stores; D. W. Dun. can. one store. On the stocks of goods there was no insurance carried except by one firm the Eutaw confectionery.
 The store of P. B. Mino, on the next block, did not burn, but was threat ened. He moved his goods and had some water damage. about $500. Losses were: W. M. Palmer, groceries, 975On no insurance; N. Lunsford. confection- cry, $2.500, no insurance; Eutaw Drug Company, $3.500, no insurance; ]. H. Harris, plantation suNplies. s3.5oo, no insurance: T. T. Hafner. books and notions.

Duncan. plantation supplies, moved most of his stock, loss about $500; Eutaw Ice Company, about one third car ice. about $20.
 T. c. Lamb succeeded In turning out all his stock from his livery stable, but one horse ran on the railroad track and was killed No cause can be as- signed for the origin of the fire, as the proprietors of the Eutaw Drug Store, W H. Pate and R. c. Malone cannot account for 1t at all. This firm had made arrangements to move this morning into a brick block. They were to have moved on the 18th. but had been delayed by the present occupant not getting out on time. Tt is too soon after the fire to find out about rebuild ing. but it will all have to be of ma sorry that do build. All of the house. hold goods were saved but one square piano. the property of Mrs. O. Ruther- ford.
