FRIDAY MORNING. .JAN. 2. 1»C3; BLAZE IN FIRST ■ NATIONAL BUNK Durham Narrowly Escapes a Conflagration. FIREMEN’S HARD FIGHT The Loss Between Fifteen and Twenty Thous and Partially Covered by Insurance. The Explosion if a Large Lamp Starts the Blaze Durham, N. C., Jan. I.—(Special.)—Be tween 3 and 4 o'clock this morning the First National Bank building, one of the finest business buildings in the center of the city, was visited by fire and the loss is between fifteen and twenty thou sand dollars. The less was covered by abcut two thirds insurance. The fire originated in the central office of the Interstate Telephone company, caused by the explosion of a large oil lamp. In a few minutes the front part of the third floor was a roaring fur nace. The firemen did all that could be done and confined the flames to that cor ner of the building. On the first and second floors there was great damage on account cf water. In the Interstate telephone office there was a young lady operator. From her it is learned that she lighted the large oil lamp in order to warm up the room. As socn as she lighted it there was an ex plosion and the room was filled with flames. She escaped to the hallway and gave an alarm of fire. Every room in the building was occupied at the time and several of the occupants escaped in scan ty clothing. No one was seriously hurt. The losses are as follows First Na tional bank, damage to building between s■'>,ooo and $6,000, fully covered by insur ance, there being $17,500 Insurance on the building; Interstate Telephone com pany, damage to property about $6,000, with SSOO insurance; law office of Guthrie and Guthrie, damage about $2,000, insur ance $2,500; Mrs. A. M. Smith, millinery stock, damage about $1,500 with no insur ance In addition to these losses there v/ere small losses among other oc cupants of the building, most of them being covered by insurance. The dam age in the bank room is confined to the furniture and is covered in the $17,500 insurance on the building. The fire was a stubborn one and in a dangerous loealitl. Had the building been consumed the Hotel Carrolina would have burned and that portion of the city would no doubt have gone up in smoke and ashes. With bull dog deter mination the fireman went into the third floor of the building and for two hours held the flames In chock, finally sub duing them. In the building were the law offices of Boone and Biggs; V. S. Bryant; dental office of Dr. William Lynch, and several other offices. Some ton or twelve of the rooms were occupied by roomers. Had the fire gained more rapidly than it did there would no doubt have been a less of life. The Interstate Telephone company was badly crippled. A large force of hands were put to work today and Manager Shaw says that ho hopes to have the exchange in operation by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. The loss in this office almost, complete. The val uable switch board is entirely ruined and a man was sent out this morning to get another board, second handed or any kind for temporary use, and get back hero with it as soon as possible. Informa tion this evening is that the board will reach here tomorrow and it will be set up Saturday and Sunday. The Frst National bank is sued a statement this evening that the bank would resume business to morrow morning at the usual hour. This being a. holiday the bank was closed any way and it did not lose a single day. Central Carolina Fair. (Special to News and Observer.) Greensboro, N.
