BAMBERG LOSERS IN FIRE.
Messers. Moye and Brickle Lost
Homes.-COtton is Burned.

Mr.. Malcolm Moye, former Bam
berg resident, was among those who
suffered the loss of his home in the
big Augusta fire last week. Mr.. anc
Mrs. Moye and family resided on El'
lis street, and when it was imminent
that their home would be lost the
conflagration, Mr.. Moye had his fur
niture removed from the building tc
Broad street. The fire soon neared the
place where the furniture was put
and it was moved several times in an
attempt to sove it from the fire, but
the flames soon overlook the goods
and everything was burned. While Mr..
and Mrs. Moye were moving the fur
niture, it is stated that some one
stole all of the silverware. Mr.. Moye's
family are now stopping with rela-
tives at Fairfax, as it is impossible
to secure quarters in Augusta. Mr..
Moye is a Pullman conductor from
Augusta to Asheville, but was at
home at the time of the fire. No in
surance was carried.
Mr.. John F. Brickle also lost all
of his household effects, but he was
fortunate enough to have some in
surance on his furniture. Mr.. Brio
kle owns a bicycle shop in Augusta,
and resided with his family on Greene
street. The fire swept away the
house in which they resided, and
everything was destroyed. Mr.. Brio
kle attempted to save trunk con-
tanning quantity of clothing, but
the trunk was finally lost in the con-
fusion of escaping the flames. Mr..
Brickle, however, succeeded in saw
ing his horse and buggy.
Mrs. w. J. Faulkner, former resi-
dent of Bamberg, escaped the fury
of the fire. Her residence was in the
path of the flames, being on the 500
block, but this block did not burn,
the fire swerving around it, leaving
all homes on the block uninjured:
Several hundred bales of cotton be-
longing to Bamberg merchants were
burned in the fire. Mr.. H. c. Folk
lost, it is believed, about 1872 bales,
stored with Pope & Fleming. Mr.. ].
A. Williams lost, it is stated, 2O2
bales. C. R. Brabham's Sons had
about $50 bales stored in Augusta
warehouses, and some of, this was
probably burned, but they have not
yet ascertained how many bales were
saved. Rentz & Fielder had large
quantity stored in warehouses in the
burned district, but they have not
yet been advised of any loss. Mr.. G.
P. Harmon lost several bales. Sew
eral other Bamberg merchants and
planters had cotton stored in Angus
ia, but it is believed that there were
no other losses. All Of this cotton
was fully insured for market price
on the day of the fire, therefore no
financial loss was sustained by the
owners. Middling cotton was worth,
last Wednesday, about 11.S1.
