small business houses, 'warehouses, two negro churches and a
factory, in addition to throwing approximately 500 men out of.
employment was the toll inflicted upon New Bern yesterday
by the fire which swept more than a score of blocks. One life,
that of an aged negress, was the only fatality, altho a score,
or more persons suffered from burns. (
The blaze swept a wide path almost thru the center of the
city. It started on Kilarmonoc street and swept eastward
almost in a straight line'until it reached George street, being
bounded on one side by Queen street and on the other by Court
and Dunn streets. On the south side of the Cedar Grove ceme
tery it swept; along for a block on New street. On the opposite,
it roared into Pasteur street, sweeping thru that district as far
as Crescent street. Leaping' over the union station and. the
block of houses on Griffith street, the flames destroyed con
siderable property on the water front including three large
warehouses and one residence. ' '
The fire was brought under control on Crescent street when
the wind, which had been blowing gale-like thruout the day,
died. down.
