800 Bales Burn on Monroe
Platform

Special to Charlotte Observer
Monroe, March 6.-The cot
ton platform and a few over 800
bales of cotton were destroyed
by fire last night about 8 o'clock.
The origin of the fire is not
known, but ii is thought that it
caught by a spark from one of
the engines on the yard as the
main track is about $50 or 200
feet away. The warehouses that
belonged to the old guano plant
were almost full of cotton, but
luckily the fire was confined to
the platform, which was com
pletelv destroyed.
Six box cars that were stand.
ing on the track at the platform
were burned and there were
several others slightly injured.
The exact amount of the loss is
not known, but it was all pro-
tected by insurance.

BEFORE LuNDY's LANE.

One hundred years ago, following
the battle Of Chippewa, the Ameri-
can army under General Brown
marched to Lundv's Lane, a mile be-
low Niagara Falls, and not far from
the present location Of the hotel
where Canada recently offered its
hospitality to the A.-B.-C. mediators.
Sir Gordon Drummond, administra-
tor and commander in Upper Can

men to add to General Riall's army,
assumed command and pursued the
Americans to Lundy's Lane. The

better idea of the quantity Of this
bulk, Mr.. Lands said it would tax
the capacity of 683 cars of twelve
tons each. It would be impossible
to haul this vast sum with fewer
than eleven locomotives, which would
mean that each would have to pull
about sixty-three cars. These cars
in one train would extend about ten
miles. There was exactly $415,000,-
600 in coin and gold bullion in the
mint when Mr.. Lands turned it over
to his successor. The largest amount
at the mint at any one time in the
last twelve years was $452,oo0,0Q0.
