POCOMOKE CITY HAS
DISASTROUS FIRE
CONTINUED From Page Two)

Pocomoke City is in ashes.
Sixty stores and dwellings went
down before a disastrous fire
Thursday in less than three hours,
and of the prosperous business
houses which opened their doors
Thursday morning but three are
left. The fire originated in the
drug store and dwelling of DR.. J.
o. Truitt about $50 o'clock in the
afternoon from a defective fiue. A
strong wind was blowing and in a
few minutes the flames, fed by
highly combustible drugs and
chemicals, were bursting from
every window. The town had no
fire department, and the citizens
armed with buckets and one or two
fire extinguishers, were utterly un-
able to cope with the flames. Sud
denly there was slight explosion
that sent a shower of sparks on the
roof of the Clarke house, one of the
largest hotels in town, and in a
moment flames were leaping from
a dozen places on the roof From
this the fire spread to a carriage
factory, which communicated it to
the post Office, and the following
stores were then destroyed: The
store of Townsend & Stevenson,
next a general merchandise store,
and then a confectionery store.
The fire next communicated to the
large brick block occupied by @. H.
Merrill, boots and shoes, Lloyd,
Dryden & Blaine, drug store; E. G.
Polk & Co., clothing, boots and
shoes; the millinery store of Miss
Matthews, general merchandise
store Of Smullca e Paride, Stevens
& Matthews dry goods store, Yea
sey & Bevins, general merchandise.
On the north side of the street the
fire struck Blaine & King, general
merchandise; Captain Husted's
store and a dwelling occupied by
Mrs. DeKay; next the hardware of
w. H. and A. B. Davis, and a large
millinery store by Mrs. Payne;
then the brick block of w. M.
Dickinson & Son, E. Fountain, and

another hardware store. The hand
some hotels, the Clark House and
the Parker House were then burn
ed. The store of Mrs. Schoolfield,
residence occupied by M. Steven
son, the new residence of Alfred
Townsend, residence of j. Clark
and a number of other houses.
Kings livery stable, carriage
factoy, the printing offices of the
Times, the Record and Gazette,
and Peninsula Ledger were all
burned. This leaves the town
without a paper. At 8 o'clock the
fire was considered under control.
The entire business part of the
town is gone, and only three stores
remain. Only few dwellings
were burned, the bulk of the build
ings destroyed being stores. The
people seem to stand their losses
heroically, but many are heavy
losers. The insurance is placed at
S153 900 mostly in small amounts.

which ten new members were ad-
mitted, and it was announced that
the late Bishop Lee had been pur-
chased by few laymen of the
church to be occupied by the pres
ent bishop as an Episcopal resi-
dence for a period Of time until the
Diocesan convention could make
arrangements for a suitable resi-

is made in the name of Francis G.
