For the greater part of yester
day it was necessary to maintain
a diligent watch overthe debris of
tb-burning); building on East
Third street where one of the
nibst stubborn and destructive
fires in Charlotte's history raged
so furiously during early morning
hours. The.fire was spectacular
and featuresome and presented a
scene which has seldom been wit
nessed in Charlotte. The dam
age was pretty accurately estima
ted in yesterday's Observer. It is
still believed that $75,000 will
cover the loss, half of which is un
protected by insurance. -The
greatest sufferer from the destruc
tion was the Southern Real Es
tate, 'Loan & Trust Co., which
owned the building. The plumb
ing establishment of T. C. Toom
ey & Co. was also a heavy loser,
its stock of goods being totally
destroyed. Monday's Charlotte

The Republicans at Durham
have-proposed au unique scbeme

that all applicants shall run for
one of the couuty offices this fall
and the one who receives the larg
est vote is to receive the posi mas
tership. This is quite a new idea
and will make the politics of that
oounty unusually warm, if adopt
ed. '
Fire, breaking out at an early
hour Sunday night, did about
$30,000 damage to the $100,000
plant of the Virginia-Carolina
Chemical Company, located at
Greenville, S. C. The loss is
understood to be fully covered
by insurance. The plant was
located in the suburbs.

the recent report of th ? taking of
Matagalpa by the iust rgeut gener

have learued concerning the . r evo

of the facts to leak out, preferring
apparently to stand on the first
announcement that the govern
ment troops bad withdrawn from
Matagalpa and that therefore no
resistance was offered to Chamoro
and his men. An American cou

has reached Managur and has
