There was a big fire" in Wadesboro yesterday morning. It originated about half past 4 o'clock, in the pantry of the Grand Central Hotel. The loss is very heavy, footing up in all nearly $30,000.

The entire building was coosnm ed, including Hotel, Williams & Par kers Hall, and the stores on the first floor.

Par ker, was valued at $3,000, on which there was an insurance for $500. Besides, Mr. 1'arker lost a piano worth $400, and insured for $200. The corner store was occupied by Mr. James Dime, as a saloon. He had no insurance, his policy having expired about to weeks aero. .His loss is estimated at $800. The next room was the office of the hotel Adjoinintr the office was an unoc cupied store room, and then came the store of Dry & Co. They lost in the removal and injury of goods about $200. Next was the book store of Henry Davis. He estimates -his loss at about $200. Mr. Henry Wil liams lost about $150 in the removal of croods.

Little as a sale stable, and he lost in feed, &c, about $300. His stock was saved. The flames also reached the wooden building lately occupied as the postomce, and owned by It. Ij Bruner. It was fully insured. The frame building, owned bv T. S Crowson, in which was the grocery store of J. A.

Gray lost a gold watch and . clothing. There were several traveling men in the hotel, but it is belieyed they-lost nothing. One of the sad est things about the fire is the serious injury of Major T. J. Ingram. He was struck by fall ing material and is sutlermg from a scalp wound and severe internal in juries. It is feared that his condi tion is criticaL Our people rallied readily and worked hard, but we have no fire department, and we were powerless to check the devouring element. Much assistance was rendered in the removal of gxds to places of safety. Williams Si Parker are the heav ies individual losers, but the loss to the town is inestimable.

The number is a No Name number, with" a tantalizing note of interrogation after tne title of each article on the table of con tents. We are informed, editorially, that the-number is; contributed to by some of the most popular of American authors, and certainly the contents are good enough for any body. The complete novel is en titled uThe Old Adam," and is a strong study of American life in Rome, drawn with much dramatic power and insight. ' An excellent ar ticle on the progress of music is enl titled ''From Bacon to Beethoven." There are two stories, one a humor ous sketch of Jewish-life, "Mr. Son aenschein's Inheritance," and the other, a ghost story, uThe Portrait and the Ghost." "Among My Weeds" is a pleasant little out-of-doors es say. "Old Delaware" is an interest ing sketch of an interesting State. The poetry is exceptionally, good. "Nebuchadnezzar's Vife" is an ef fective Eastern narrative, full of passion and color. And who could have written that weird and power ful fancy "The House of Hate?" Who may answer all the queries as to the authors satisfactorily? Cer tainly they afford entertaining food for speculation and as they are in cluded among the 'One Hundred Prize Questions," they, will undoubt edly set all .the readers of Lippin- cotC 9 agog." ; The Festival of the Poets. , i We heard a lady; of experience and judgment who was present last night at the "Festival of the Poets" says that, with onefexception, it was one of the most beautiful entertain ments ever given in this city. And she was right. -Tfieiioble hall, gaily decorated, was a scene of life, ac tivity and loveliness. It Was throng ed during the. early part of the night and until the closing hours there were a great many present.. There were booths arranged in and around the room and these were presided over by the ladies dressed to sustain " characters niadeji iui mortal by the classic poets, both ancient and jnodern.- On these booths were offered for sale various articles tha seemed to find ready purchasers and which . were thronged throughout the evening. Not only were the cbstumes of the ladies rich and tasteful but they were appropriate. We would be glad to publish all of the characters bdt the space at our disposal forbids it. The entertainment must be seen to be appreciated. It were a facile pen indeed that could begin to do justice to the subject: The Festival will be continued this evening and to-morrow evening. - -. : The City Boys'.
