a ticket which entitled him to

he pleased on the train, and defied
any and everybody to divert him

BIG FIRE IN CONCORD.
Lightning Responsible for Flames Which
Result In Much Damage.

Concord, July 21.-During a
heavy storm about 10 o'clock to-
night lightning struck a dust fue
at the Kerr bleaching and finish
ing works, setting to the building,
which almost instantly was fully
ablaze and which was destroyed.
Owing to the heavy rains the
building was surrounded by about
six feet of water, which made it
impossible to fight the fire. The
skies were Illuminated and a great
crowd to witness the fire in spite
Of the drenching rain. The fire
department. directed its attention
to saving the power plant and box
factory adjoining, and the fire at
time is under control. Fortu-
nately the wind took the fire away
from the Cannon Manufacturing
Company's mill, which is near
the bleachery. The flood has
done great damage and flooded
several rooms at the Cannon mills.
The Kerr blachery and finish
ing works are estimated 20 be
worth 5000, 900, besides the goods
in process,ss both of which were
fully insured. Captain J. NJ.
Odell, of this place, is president
