Last Night's Fire.
At about half past 11 o'clock last:
night the two story frame dwelling bo4 Sttperintendent of Health for the city.
Red Cross street, between 8eveoth and j we get the following interesting statis
Eighth, eaoght fire in one of the rooms j ties relative to the death rate in thiscity
on the second floor, and when diseov- ! during the year 1884:
ered the flames were beyond the eon- whites
trol of tho inmates of the bouse. The
alarm was sonnded and the firemen,
notwithstanding the cold weather, were
on hand wiu remarkable proroptitade,
and by the.r exertions saved the lower
part of the house from destruction.
The roof, however, was burned off and
considerable damage was done to
the second story. The ' fire ii
supposed to have originated from
a piece of lightwood rolling
from the fire place to the floor
while the occupant of the room was
absent. The women of the house had
not retired. One man, who .had gone
to sleep, was awoke and was in such a
dazed condition .that he had to be toted
from the burning building by a burly
fireman. The house belonged to Henry
Taylor, colored, and was occupied by
Fannie Wilson and several other dis
reputable females. The property was
insured in Connecticut Fire Ins. Co., of
Hartford. Conn., represented in this
city by Messrs VV, L. Smith & Co., to
the amount of $900, which ' will fully
coer the loss. The Phcenix Hose Reel
had the good for tune to get the first
stream of water on the building.

15 ad Taste.
I confess to surprise and regret that
the editor of the Raleigh Jiequter should
have published the mean wit of the
goggle-eyed editor of the New York
Sitn in rezard to Jefferson Davis in wo
man's attire. This is false and has
been so proved, but it comports entirely
with the malignant disposition ot this
Bashi-Bazouk of the American press to
repsat the foul slander. . When it is re
membered that this same feilow, Dana,
was chiefly responsible for the cowardly
and disgraceful deed of ironing a
decrepit - old - man. a prisoner
of war, immured within a well guard
ed fortress less was hardly to have been
expected, but it occurs to me as being
in bad taste for Southern editors tp
publish anything that could possibly
be construed as reflecting upon the
character or courage of our old chief
I have no idea that the accomplished
editor ot the. Register means to do Mr.
Davis an injustice yet such things might
do him harm. S. W. Cokbett.

J TAKE THIS MEANS OF SAYING THAT
the report current in the streets to day that
the under isned had failed, is utterly untrue
and without any foundation whatever , It
arose 'perhaps from a snit in a Justice's
Court against a person bearing a name that
sounds similar to that- of the undersigned. I
have not failed and will not fail to keep on

theftaest restaurant in the city where all can
