than this. The date Of the preliminary

Zone of the most disastrous fires that
ever visited this section destroyed the
fine plant of the Madison County Mill
ing Company Tuesday afternoon, en-
failing a loss of probably more than
$4,000. George Smith and VIM.
Gudger were the chief losers. The
mill had been idle since Saturday
and the only plausible theory of the
origin of the fire is that of spon-
taneous combustion, as the presence
of men in and around the place would
utterly preclude the idea of in
cendia rism. The fire seems to have
originated in the engine room, though
the whole first floor was in flames
when noticed. Nothing could be done
toward saving the building. Mr..
Smith was able to get his books out
though about $14OO was left in the
drawer and burned. Over half of the
amount was in checks which car be
duplicated. The remainder was in
currency and silver. About 1000 bus
heels OF wheat, 800 bushels of corn,
several car loads of flour and over
$4,000 worth of bags, burned with the
mill and the small Perrine Office build
ing by it. Only the fact of the long
rainy spell saved several small dwell
, ings from sharing the fate of the mill,
AS nearly as we were able to learn
only 100000 or 1876 900 insurance was
carried. Messrs. Gudger and Smith
have worked hard to build up this in
stitution, and they have made itnotet
! all over the country. The fire will
not only injure them but the town and
whole country. We were unable tt
, learn whether the stockholders will
attempt to rebuild"
