A Sunday Blaze.
Union Meeting.
y On last Sunday atternoon about 4
<>’eIoek smoke was (Hscovrred issuino-
Jroni a window in thn McMinn
]fouse aiul the alarm was im»nedi ite-
J^'Nen, III lew minutes the hose
wagon Was out and on the f^cene with
«ne line of hose conne(*ted with the
nearest hydrant and inside of five
minutes after the fire was first dis-
<*overed a stream of water was play
ing: on it.
1 he fife origfinated in one of the
*>a(ik rooms of the hotel and as the
^•uildino; unoccupied and no flue
Jroni any other buildino- was near,it
seems that it was started either by an
incendiary or by the CMn*lessness c'f
some tine who had jiotten in the
bouse. In fa(‘t certain parties were
J-een to j;,) in the b.ick door on Satur-
<l.‘vy nijjht and it is supposed thnt
tliey thr»^w matches or ends ot ciy:ar-
«*ttes on the floor and therel>y CiUised
Ine fire. Three parties are suspected
find evidence is beinj? seart-hed toi* to
secure their arrest and conviction.
It Would be well to make an exam-
l>le ot these parties it'sutficieiit proof
is obtained, as their action nearly
caused the destructio''. v.f the most
valuable section of the town. As it
turned out the tlaina«e "’ill not
nmount to over ^100 on buildin<? and
furniture.
The usefulness of the Fir*^ Depart
ment was shown and its shortcom
ing's were als«> discernible, but on
the whole the quick extinction of the
fire was most creditable, tliere beiii^
but one niember of the ?'ire Compa-
ij.v present. Sunday afternoon was a
bad time t'i)r a fire as the m;ijority ot
our people were out drivinj; or walk-
Inj;.
The benefit of the fire alarm w:is
also demonstrated ms m.iny who
< anie out would not have known of
the fire had they not lie*>rd the alarm
ti'id when it is placed on tlu* t<*wer it
can be heard all over the town.
Those present will airrec' with ns
in saying that there ony:ht to be at
least six good firemen’s w;iter pr(M)f
ovecoats lurnished as it is a surety
(hat the firemen will j?et w('t and
they c.-in’t stand much wnter in tlie
winter when it freezes as it falls.
\Jiet thn Board of Aldermen j?et a
^ood outfit—thetaxpayeis wen*saved
s^('veral times the cost of the whole
outfit last riiniday.
A Hyniing Episode.
On last Saturday a party of three
of our m<*st prominent citizens nnd
n fi iend fn)m Asheville decided to
<ro turkey and pheasant lumtiny:.
The location chosen was in one of
the most inaccessible and tliinly set
tled sections of tlie county and thn
mountain sides were covered !»y a
thick and impenetrable tanyle of
l.unel and ivy. After arrivinj*' at
tlu* scene the party divided, two<io-
ii\^’ u\) one fork of the cnn'k and two
o'oiDj^ np another fork aj’fi^ein*; to
meet on top of a certain knol). Af
ter a lon^ walk of sojne mil:>s three
of the ])arties met but tlie fourth wa><
not pr»‘S(‘nt, his companion statinir
that lie had left him and jjone after
ji ]>heasant. The party decided to
wait until he returned but after
waiting for a long time th(\v becanie
t aiarined and instituted a .se.inrli, call
ing bis name and firing off their
o-uns but no answer w'as received and
th(*ir alarm increased. They then
<lecided to retrace their steps an ’
look for tbe ir/issing num, but V
were unsucc3sstul, ami !iao ar’’
;it the conclusion that he had ji
seriously injured and that they i
secure help and search the w
mountain side for him. Upon rt
