Comparatively Heavy Loss Yes

Angola Lumber Co.
FLAMES ON THE DRY KILNS.
unginsted Prom Unknown Source and
Wrought Damage Amounting to About
$5,000 Fire In Barber Shops
An Awning Burned.
TJVS 1 . ...
fire wmcn originated from an un
known source wrought damage of
between $5,000 and $6,000 at the plant
of the Angola Lumber Company, just
beyond Hilton Park, yesterday fore
noon.
lhe damage was to a pair of dry
kilns and their contents, consisting of
100,000 feet of lumber, and it was
umy uy mnt 01 naru worK and ex
cellent fire appliances at the mill and
in the city, that the entire plant was
saved. The fire originated on the in-
Biue 01 iB xiin ana naa gained con
siderable headway when discovered.
lhe fare engine pump at the mill was
immediately put tq work on the
flames as were also two streams of
water from hydrants in the yard. The
steamers Marion and Compton, on the
river, were also attracted to the scene
by the blowing of whistles and clouds
of smoke that arose from the plant
xae boats each soon had a stream
playing on the building and a little
later the steamer tug Buck had towed
up a lighter bearing an engine of the
Fire Department from Market dock
Hose companies Nos. 1 and S, of the
Department also went to the scene
and did valiant work.
The fire was discovered at 10:30
o'clock and in less than an hour it was
under control, bespeaking much for
the excellent appliances at the plant
and for the capable management of
the mill.
The loss is fully covered by insur
ance with companies represented by
Mr. J. VanB. Melts.
Mr. W. T. Sears, general manager
of the mill, desires to publicly express
the thanks oflthe company to the tug
Marion, steamer Compton and tu&
Buck, to Chief Schnibben and his as
sociates in the Wilmington Fire De
partment; especially to Mr. George
Harriss, 'chairman of the Fire Com-'
mittee, and to the Cape Fear and Hil
ton Lumber companies for their valu
able service rendered during the
fire.
Other Fires Yesterday.
At 9:56 o'clock yesterday morning
an alarm was sent in from box 41.
The fire was located at No. 8i North
Second street, at the rear of a building
owned by T. F. Simmons and occu
pied by Mrs. Judge as a pressing club.
No damage, was done to that building
but the barber Bhop adjoining, occu
pied by Louis Peterson, was damaged
to the extent of: about $15, and an ad
joining shop occupied by R. W. Diew
was damaged about $25. All' the in
jury was principally to the buildings
and was protected by insurance.
At about 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon the awning in front of Messrs.
Victor Zoeller& Company's store on
Front street was burned but no dam
age resulted to the building or stock.
The awning was down at the time and
it is thought some one threw a lihgted
cigarette or match from above upo then
the canvas. The up-stairs of the
building is occupied by the Carolina
Athletic Club. The department was
not called out for the slight blaze.
The Fire Last Night.
Considerable damage resulted to the
stock of drugs belonging to Mr.
Jos. C. Shepard, Jr., and to the build
ing, No. 123 Market street, by a fire
which was discovered last night at
10:30 o'clock in the rear of the store.
The origin of the fire is unknown. An
alarm was sent in from box 41, Water
and Market streets, nd the firemen
were soon on the scene, the Chemical
Engine alone being used in subduing
the flames. j
Mr. Shepard estimates the damage to
his stock at about 13,000, with insu
rance of only $1,500, distributed equal
ly among agencies represented by
J. H. Boatwright and John VanB.
Metts. The damage to the building
which is owned by D. L. Gore, will
not exceed $600 and is fully covered
by a total insurance of $4,000. The
kitchen and other rooms of Mrs. D.
Rountree, who conducts a boarding
house on the second floor, were dam
aged by burning and smoke to some
extent with no insurance.
The fire originated either in a stor
age room in the extreme rear of Mr.
Shepard's store where about $1,000
worth of patent medicines in original
packages were stored, or in a wood
house on the first floor belonging to
Mrs. Rountree. Further in the rear
of the place were : stables for a mule
and horse belonging toRR Stone &
Co , but theywere liberated without
injury. The rear 01 me drug swre
only was burned but the stock is very
badly damaged by smoke. Jar. enep-
ard was at the theatre at the time of
the fire and Mr. iJ. T. Cowan, his
clerk, had left the place only a short
time. The origin of the fire is un
known, as no combustibles were
stored in that part of the store.
Members of the Mabel Paige com
pany had apartments for the week at
the Rountree House and pandemon
ium reigned when they discovered the
building on fire. Their trnnas, etc.,
were hastily brought to the streets but
were soon returned when it was found
the danger was over.

Before leaving the city Judge Tim
berlake went over the civil docket for
the forthcoming term with a number
of the Wilmington attorneys and
made ; a partial calendai for trial.
Among the suits for hearing are those
of Strauss vs. City of Wilmington,
which was given a new ! trial by the
Supreme Court, and that of B. F.
Penny vs. W. C. & A. Railroad, in
which damages are asked; by plaintiff
for being shot by a negro ejected from
defendant's train. !
There are in addition to these a
number of other important suits, the
complaints in two of which were
filed yesterday.
One of them is entitled J. L. Love
vs. Carolina Central Railroad, which
has been previously mentioned in
these columns. The plaintiff in the
action asks $50,000 actual and $50,000
punitive damages for injuries received
by him while a conductor for the de
fendant company, on Dec. 20th, 1900,
the said injuries having j been due to
the alleged negligence of the company
in not providing improved couplings
for a certain caboose car in which he
was riding at the time given, and
which ; became detached from the
remainder of a train going west from
Wilmington, and which I later going
down grade, crashed into the other
cars and threw plaintiff violently
against the side of the car : and against
a hot stove severely burning and other
wise injuring him so that he is inca-
paciated for his usual work.
The plaintiff is represented in the
suit by Messrs. Herbert McClammy,
Bellamy & Bellamy and Wm. J.Bella
my. The defendant is represented by
Messrs. : Meares & Ruark. j
The other complaint filed yesterday
was in the suit of Graham! Murray by
his next friend R. M. Murray, against
Dr. Chas. T. Harper, superintendent
of health; and the City of Wilming
ton. The plaintiff asks $5,000 dam
ages and the complaint sets forth that
on July 8th, 1901, plaintiff, then about
six years old,' was sick with fever and
other diseases, and confined to bed at
the house of his father, thei defendants
carelessly and negligently removed,
or caused him to be removed while
confined in bed to another room,
when there was no necessity for same.
causing : said Murray to suiter great
bodily pain and permanent injury.
L. V. Grady, Esq., appears for the
plaintiff in the action. j
The bar of the city will likely meet
Saturday week to arrange the full
calendar of cases. I
Remains Laid to Rest
Mr. John Mclnnis' family, accom
panied by their pastor, Rev, J. J. Pay
seur, carried the remains of their little
boy to Willard yesterday and laid him
to rest in the family burying grounds.

home, 607 Campbell street leaving his
father, mother and two little sisters to
mourn his death. The many friends
and relatives met the corpse at Wil
lard and gently aided in every way
possible to relieve the burdened pa
rents. A beautiful flowered cross was
placed on the coffin by Miss Sanders.

'Ex-Senator Marion Butler arrived
to-day. It was understood that he
came here to fight Skinner's appoint
ment as District Attorney. He is not
so much for Bernard as he is against
8kinner, though he will back Bernard.
The Ex-Senator went to New York
this afternoon, but it . is the . under
standing that he will return here in a
day or two and remain "for the war.'
In the meantime there are no develop
ments in the district attorneyship
fight"
As will be seen by reference to the
Stab's telegraphic dispatches this
morning the name of Dancy has been
sent to the Senate with a batch of
others for confirmation.
