IN CITY OF DEMOpOLIS

Demopolis. June 6-(Speciai-
About o'clock this morning the
alarm of fire was given. After the
alarm, two blasts of the whistle in
dicated the second ward. 1t was the
old Foscue home, on the site the gov
eminent recently bought for a post
office.
Captain w. c. Harrison owned the
house and until few weeks ago, his
family lived in It. Their furniture
was in the house, they being temper
arily at the country home at Siddons-
vile. They lost nearly all OF their
furniture. The loss of the furniture is
said to be partly covered by insur-
ance.
This removes one of the old land
marks. The house was originally
built by Mr.. Wheeler, q lawyer, be-
fore the war. Wheeler was killed by
Pearson Glover after the war Mrs.
Foscue bought the place and lived in
II and after her death, DIR. Foscue and
MS family lived there until his widow
sold 1t to the government for a post
office site. The house was to be
moved off the lot by w. c. Harrison,
who owned 1t. 1t IL not known
whether the building was insured, as
Captain Harrison is in SiddonsyiIie.
At the time the fire broke out, there
was scarcely no water in the stand
pipe. as the department was lust In
the act OF making some repairs on the
machinery. and therefore the water
pressure was inadequate for tina emer-
gency.
