Salisbury, March q. The
Kincaid Veneer and Lumber
Company's plant, situated just
outside the southern limits of
this city, was totally destroyed
by fire which broke out at A
o'clock this morning, entailing
loss Of S18, 900. $1,000 Of which
was in stock on hand and the
remainder was represented in
the building and machinery.
There was only Sc. 800 insurance
carried on the plant and stock.
1t is said that the blaze originated
from a spark from Southern Rail
way train No. 30. which was
running late, and that the spark
fell among some veneering lying
outside the building. The plant
was located on the southern side
of the main line of the Southern.
The night Waterman discovered
the fire shortly after it started,
but it gained such rapid head
way that the entire main build
ing, which was a frame struc-
ture, was soon consumed. The
works were not running, having
been shut down for some time.
The company was in the hands
of Edwin c. Gregory, Stable

\ certain young man of this city

the same time she poured into his
ear a few drops Of information for
future use, while the young lady
gasped for breath. The coffee was
too awfully hot.
When the dazed fellow recovered
his wits he looked around and saw
what the trouble was. Then he ex-
planned that he had meant no offense.
That IS to say. he swallowed his
words-not the widow. Then she
steamed back into the kitchen with n
stream Of invectives. When he re-
covered his hat he looked around
and asked: as that what you call
