March 27.— Pire started about seven o’clock to night in a two-story brick bond ing on West Broad street oc cupied by Wilson's tailor shop on the first floor and Leary's photograph gallery ou the second floor. The rear of the building was occupied as storage room by tbe Laseoby-Mont gpracry Hardware Co. The origin of the fire is nnlcnowu, hnt it had made such headway that it could not be confined to this building. Tbe Wilhelm Company’s wholesale clothing store, on tbe west, was so ranch higher than tbe burning building that it escaped and tbe wind carried the fire eastward. The next building, occupied by W. P. McLean, with a stock of groceries and' tbe ball on the second floor nsed as Salvation Army barracks, was the next to go. The next building was oc cupied by J. U. Lamprecht’s plumbing and general repair •bop. On tbe sacond floor seas Capt. P. C. Carlton’s insurance office and tbe public library. The fourth building was oc cupied by Pry & Phifer, with a general stock, Clark’s cigar factory being on the second floor. Here the fire was stopped, leaving l wo more two-story brfck buildings in tbe block on tbe east, Mills & Poston’s depart ment store and the Morrison & Sons Co., wholesale grocers. Tbe first two buildings burned comprised tbe old stand of Wallace Brothers. They were uwucu dv an. at. u. uuna ana it it understood that she carried no insnrancc. The building in which the fire started and the oue adjoining were completely destroyed, the walls falling down. The other ' buildings were guttered. The other two buildings burned were owned by Dr. J. J. Mott. It is understood that be carried $5,000 insurance. Some of the stocks of goods about all in some instances, were carried from the burning buildings and. of course, were badly damaged. Stocks were also carried from Mills & Pos ton’s store and other buildings in the patb of the fire, in antici pation of the worst. The loss on stocks cannot be estimated to night with iuj accuracy nor is the amount of insurance known. The loss on buildings will reach $20,000 or more and the total gross loss Is possibly $40, 000 or $50,000. It is the biggest fire Statesville has had in more than a dozen years. There was abnndancc of water and. after desperate work, the firemen, volunteers and others, got the fire under control. Soou after the fire started help was asked from Salisbury mud a prompt re sponse was given, but it did uot arrive nntil the fire was under control. Mayor Boyden and sev eral Salisbury citizens came with the fire team of 100 men. Charlotte and Spencer kindly of fered their services which States ville appreciates._ Thirteen carlosds of walnut logi were shipped from Strond. O.
