'ER HALF INSURED

Gadsden, November 10-(Special.)-At an early hour this morning fire was dis covered in the Commercial hotel build ing, on the corner of Third and Broa-! streets. and despite the good work of the department the structure was de- stroyed The building was occupied as a rooming house on the second floor with a restaurant and various other bus inesses on the ground floor.
 The T. L. Johnson grocery store was located in the building and carried one of the largest stocks in the city. This was a total loss, as well as the building itself. The entire loss is given at be- tween s35,00O and $40.0o0, with insurance covering fully 60 per cent of the loss. The origin of the fire is unknown, but 1t started in some way on the second floor, in the rooming house, and spread very rapidly.
 The roomers had close call in escap- ing the flames, several being compelled to go to the roofs Of adjoining build ings, where they were rescued by the firemen. The intense heat from the con- fiagration melted a large cable of the Southern Bell Telephone company and cut off the service of a goodly number of phones. The new building of the Etowah County Bank & Trust Co.,, is located immediately across the way and for time 1t was feared that consid- erabe damage might result to it, even though 1t is of the most approved fire proof construction. But by removing the windows to prevent their cracking from the heat no apparent effect was had on the building The corner is one of the most prominent in the city and presum- ably a new structure will soon be reared on the site of the one destroyed, as the owners of the ground are abundantly able to make the improvement.
