FIRE AT A.HOSKIE.
The building used by the Alios
kie Variety Works was completely
destroyed by fire on last Friday
morning. The blaze started on
the inside from a pile of dry shav
ings that were lying on the floor,
and had gained auch headway be
fore it was delected that it was
impossible to put it. out. Mr. C.
Greene, proprietor of the Variety
Works, was busy on the outside
of the building, and did not detect
the blaze till too late. The fire
took place about (en o'clock in the
morning, and owing to the dry
material on the inside soon burned
to the ground. No other buildings
were seriously threatened, owing
to^he great distance between the
burned building and the nearest
house.
The destroyed building was the
property of Mrs. Mary Britton, of
Elizabeth City, and was covered
by insurance, the exact amount of
which is unknown. The stock,
.which was the property of Mr.
Claude Greene, was covered bv
insurance to the amount of three
hundred dollars. Several hundred
dollars worth of machinery was
also destroyed by the tire.
