Fire Destroys Tenement House
Saturday Evening.

/
At about $50, Saturday after
noon, people were startled by the
cry of "Fire'. Hay i'll H. H.
Howe's barn was burning, with the
flames rapidly gaining headway.
Help gathered quickly with pals
and buckets, and the fire engine
was hustled to the scene in all in
| credibly short time. Then started
a game fight TO quench tire flames
which had already spread to the
upper story Of the house where it
joined the barn. For a time it
seemed as if the house would be
saved, but the fire got hold of the
old shingles beneath the slate roof,
and it was practically impossible to
reach it with the stream. The fire
continued to gain; but as it burned
downwards from the roof, there was
time enough to save nearly all the
household goods of Mrs. John
Walker, who occupied the second
story, as we'll as those of Henry
Lampson on the first floor.
G. G. Smiths tenement house
occupied By Frank Clough and
CO. Harrington, situated about
twenty feet away, was afre scores
of times; and the one stream of wa
TER had to be frequently turned in
that direction which of course less
ened the chances of saving Howe's
house. 1t was a close call for
Smiths house, and it was only by
desperate work that the fire was
conquered with the loss of but one
house and barn.
The only livestock in the barn
was one hog, and that was driven
out safely. The hay loft was filled
to the ridge-pole with nice hay.
The loss is estimated at $500 with
small insurance.
The fire engine company of the
North village responded to the call
for help; but the fire was under con-
troll when they reached here, So
their engine was not put into play.
1t was very fortunate that there
was no breeze; also that Hulett s |
new dam was completed giving a
pond With plenty of water from
which to draw.
There are several theories as to
the origin of the fire, but none of
them can be satisfactorily verified.

CONTRACT TO BUILD BRIDGE
OVER THE MEHERRIN RIVER

Especial to The Times -Dispatch.l
BOYDTON, VA, May 1.-THE Board
of Supervisors of Mecklenburg met
here yesterday. They let to contract
a steel bridge over Meherrin River at
Roxton. Va. to the Roanoke Bridge
Company, of Roanoke. at cost Of
s1,042. Meherrin River is the boundary
line between Mecklenburg and Lunen-
burg. and the bridge is built jointly
Mecklenburs paying two-thirds OF the
cost and Lunenburg the other third.
The finances of Mecklenburg are in
good shape, and are economically
administered by the supervisors. The
board keeps a sufficient sum on hand
to pay all demands of every kind with
the ready cash. and there is. therefore,
competition for public work done by
the county.
