.ENSLEY FIRE: WORK
 OF AN INCEND|ARY The Loss Is $15,000 When Wholesale House Burns BAND PLAYS TONIGHT Six New Houses Are to Be Built at Terrace Park-Lecture Monday
 Night on Sportsmanship.
 Business Activities
BAND PLAYS TONIGHT

A S15,000 fire, supposed to be of in-
 cendiary origin, occurred in Ensley early
 Saturday morning when the wholesale
 house of the Bessemer Grocery company,
 on Railroad avenue, near the yards Of
 the steel plant, was totally destroyed.
 The fire was discovered about 230 o'clock
 and the fire department responded quick
 ly, but owing to the large quantity of
 hay and other inf1ammable material that
 was stored in the building, which was
 of corrugated iron, the flames had spread
 to the entire building and was practically
 beyond control.
 The firemen worked valiantly, however,
 but were unable to save the main build
 ing, which, with it's contents, was prac- tically destroyed. The horses and mules belonging to the, firm were stabbed in the rear of the main building, and 1t was with much difficulty that they were saved.
 The Bessemer Grocery company was l owned by c. T. Crook and Judge J. c. B. Gwin of Bessemer. They did large wholesale business in this district and
 had been in their present location about two years.
 The loss Is estimated to be about $15.-
 0Oo which is partially covered by insur- ance. 5000 being the amount carried by the firm The buildings were owned by
 the Ensley Land company and were valued at s4OO0. covered by 5000 insur- ance.
 The books and papers were found to be intact, as the safe had resisted the fire. That the fire was the work of in- cendiaries seems to be borne out by the fact that shortly before the fire was dis
 covered policeman had passed the door and found it intact, yet when the fire
 men arrived the door was unlocked. The theory was borne out further by the attempt that was made on the same night as the fire to break into the safe of the Southern railroad depot, which had been badly damaged in the attempt to force 1t open.
 Sacred Concert The Italian band of Ensley will give its first sacred concert at the Ensley opera house this evening. The band numbers 27 pieces and Is under the di- rection of Prof. S. Costa, a musician of ability and solo cornetist of note. The band is strictly a home institution and was organized in Ensley by Ensley residents. During the short time the musicians have been in practice they have acquired a remarkable proficiency. A programme will be rendered tonight that will contain many classic gems and will prove of great interest to the music-loving public In addition to the selections by the band a number of vocal selections will be given. The con- cert will begin promptly at o'clock, Business Activities At a meeting of the Realty Invest ment company. held at the office of W. R. Stewart, the contract was let for the erection of six new houses to be built at Terrace Park, one of the most attractive suburbs of Ensley. The contract will amount to about $10,000 and the work will be commenced at once.
