Taylor Press of the Wilmington Com press Company Destroyed Their Tyler Press Intact and In Working Order Thirteen Hundred Bales i of Cotton Destrojed Estimated Loss iboot $110,000 ! The alarm" of fire this morning about one o'clock ws causjed by the burning of cotton at the Wilmington Compress on the Taylor Press yard ;n the first fire dis trict. I There are conflicting reports as to ; j a - - the exact location of the fire at the be ginning, and it is not known: whether it was accidental or the work of an incen- j: mi a i 1 J 1 . iJ Aue waicnman empioyea uy me Compress Company,1 stated that he first I dineovprarl thp. firfi in a nilfl of rntt in to I th WiRt. nf nnrl u1 ia?tTit. to inn 1 aslnr . j j Tra Sn rariirJlc HirJ thp firo unroait that the building in which the press was erec ted was enveloped in flames, and the cot ton stored in the warehouse separating the Taylor press from the Tyler press was in a light blaze almost instantly. The fire department were soon at work and confined' the fire to sections one, two and three of the Northern warehouse. The cotton is still burning and the i . . i . steam engines Lttt'c Giant and A Adrian are at work deluging it with water. The First Ward Bucket Com pany are at work clearing away the debris caused by the falling walls and tin roofs, in order that the streams of water can be put directly on j the burning cotton. The British Bark D. H. Bills was lying at the wharf when j the fire was discovered, but promptly dropped out in the stream and sustained no The Taylor Press was shut damage. Hnwn vpafprrlftv nff rnrwr at. Ft rV.lnf.k , . . , and the engineer and fireman remained until about seven putting out the fires and cooling off the engines aud boilers. Something over thirteen hundred bales of cotton were consumed which was covered by insurance. We could no1 ascertain the individual loss. Messrs Williams & Murchison, Kerch- ner & Calder Bros., and Lilly Bros., were the heaviest losers : in the order named. The damage to the company's property is estimated at about $60,000. but is most" ly covered. The Taylor press which cost the company, about a year ago 40,000, js very badly damaged, but is fully cov ered by insurance. Sections one, two and three of the Northern warehouse were bad. ly damaged. The fire of this morning will in no way interfere with the company's work as t' eir Tyler presses in thorough order and will be put to work to-morrow. The destruction of the TaylOrPress will in no way effect the interest of the cotton compressing of this port as the Tylor and Champion Compresses have a capacity of two thousand bales per day of twelve hours, and if necessity require it they can work extra se'.s of hands and work the full twenty-four hours, until the run would be over. i The fire department worked "!nob!y iu checking the fire aud too much Cannot be said of their efforts and success in confiu- incr the hrp n it tirpsant limifpri stimv ing the fire to its present l, r,..,. ... , , L , The Filth Ward Bucket .Cumpany and members of the engine coaipuies worked like Trojins.

We learn from the Raleigh Neicsl that there was a case of yellow fever reported on board of a vessel near Norfolk which caused some apprehension that it might be the dreaded Yellow Jack. We truft that there is no troth in the report, but it true a rigid quarantine at once mignt prevent the spread of the pestilence until visiting thatljjj. Frost can come, whoee advent can not be very long delayed now, and whip Yellow Jack out.

This military drmna was ' performed M the Opera House last uight by the 'star Templeton A lunce Troupe to a very small audience. The play, which has but little of character aud is absurd in its plot, has quite a number of points by whieh au audience might Le amusei for a time. The acting was generally good, some of it very hue. Miss Alice Vaiie, a the Prince, was undoubtedly the best female vocalist, although the others wlen tinging In duetts made sweet harmony. Mr. Crane, as Ulandi, has a rich, mellow -and well cultivated voice which i ha con- trolled with much skill. The vagaries of the Cracker from Carolina, who was always; anxious to fight, were quite amusing end he made some very clever hits, while the grief of the old French guard when he learned of the Prince's death, was an exhibition of fine pathetic acting, and the same may be said of Barbara when she parked from the Piince whom ske loved, but dared not express her affection. - i Harbor Master's Report.

I Sale of the W. C. & A. K- R. The sale of the Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta Rilroadj under a foreclosure of the first Mortgage Bondholders, took place .in front of the Court House in thi city at 12 o'clock to-day,' by virtue of a decree of the Circuit Court of the United States for North Carolina, His Honor Judge Bond presiding. , As the hour for the time of sale neared, several railroad magnates from this and ac joining cities, together with a committee of geLtlemen from the first mortgage bond holders resident in! Baltimore, wete seen wending their wayj quietly in the direc tion of the Court House. The commis sicner of the sale, with his crier, stood ready at hand beneath the folds of the blood red flag of the auction eer, ready for the work. S veral other citizens of prominence and importance in our community, among whom were the newspaper reporters, were there also, and several individual i of African descent who always attend important siles of real estate, stocks and so forth, were on band likewise. But then all were not there for the same purpose. However, the time arrived for the sale, watches were compared,' the Washington time and the city time ncted, and at 12 o'clock precisely the crowd were called together. Then came the decree of the Court to be read. This was an interesting and en tertaining part of the sale, which was completed in about thirty minutes. Then came the announcement for bids. Bat only one bid was made and that was by one of the purchasing committee oi boondholders from Baltimorewho bid the nice little sum of $860,500 at which amount the sale was closed That ia about i . j 25 pet Cant we believe of the amount of the first mortgage bonds together with the i j accrued interest to the date of sale.
