THE ASIIEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN. Wednesday Evening, December 28, 1892. STATESVILLE FIRE-SWEPT DESTRUCTIVE CON FLAGRA TIOJH THIS HORNING. Several of ttie Best Buildings In Ine Town Totally Oeatroed The Loaa, it Is Believed, Will Reach 73,000. From members of the Old North State orchestra, who came up from States ville yesterday to furnisn music for the Wallace-Whitlock wedding this evening, it is learned that Statesville suffered this morning the most destructive fire in the town's history. The fire started about 3 o'clock, and before it could be gotten under control had destroyed some of the best property in the town. The buildings burned were: Carolina hotel block, with four stores; C. W. Grobe's jewelry store; the f'atterson building, occupied by Thomas & Co., hardware, the armory of the Iredell Blues and the Old North State orchestra; opera house building, two stores, occu pied by W. S. Phifer and Stimson & An derson's drug store. The members of the orchestra lost $500 orth of instru ments. The cause of the fire is not known. The loss, it is believed, will aggregate $75,000. It has been only two w;eks since the town had a very destructive fire. ABOl'T GAMBUMi. Cblel McDowell Has Nothing to Hav of Mr 'White's charges. The Citizkn asked Chief of Police Mc Dowell if he had anything to say regard ing the sermon of Rev. J. L. White at the First Baptist church Sunday evening, in which, referring to gambling in Ashe- ville, the minister charged that the offv cers of the city were remiss in their duty. The Chief replied that he had not read the sermon as printed, although he bad heard some talk about it, and said be had nothing that he cared to say for publication on tbe subiect. Patrolman Triolett, however, said Mr. White did not do the policemen justice. "It is known," he said, "that considera ble gambling is going on in Asheville.but believing in the fact and securing evi dence that will convict are two widely different things. llic police suspect certain places, and 1 know ol several instances in which members of the force have, bv the aid of ladders, climbed to windows of rooms in which gambling was believed to be done; and, again, we have gone to the roots of the 'suspected' houses, trying to glean through scuttle holes something upon which we could base a case. But we have never suc ceeded in securing eviderce sufficient. Suppose we did make a raid ? The men would 'play mum' as they did in the criminal court some time ago, and nothing could be made of the cases. As 1 said before, there is a great difference between thinking there is gambling and getting evidence that will convict." ST. JOHN'S DA V. Services at Trinity Church Last Evening. The service at Trinity church last night, celebrating St. John's Day, was an exceedingly interesting one, but the inclement weather prevented the antici pated attendance. The rector, Rev. Mc Neely DuBose, was assisted bv the Rev. George II. Bell, who delivered a most practical sermon to the Masonic (rater nity. The musical poition ol the service was a number not often enjoved in Ashe ville, the anthem "O, Sing to God" being especially good; the solo parts were re n dered by Miss Mariella Davidson and Mrs. Prof. T.J. P. Peacock in a most creditable manner. The chorus work showed careful training, and the final chorus was simply inspiriug. The choir is to be congratulated on being able to render such acceptable musr. REV. J. H. BOGGtHS. His Lecture. "On The Heights," Friday Evening. The next lecture in the course of the Southern Business college will be deliver ed in the hall of that institution Friday evening. December 30, by Rev. J. H. Bog gess, a lecturer of much reputation. His subject will be "On the Heights." Of him the Woodstock, 111., Sentinel says: "The lecture last Friday night bv Rev. J. H. Boggess was all that had been antici pated, and more, too. Indeed, the re mark has been made bv several that it has not been surpassed by any of the popular lecturers, suchasSwing.Thomas and Tilton. The finish of the lecture and the effectiveness of its delivery stamp him an orator. CHANGE OF FIRM. ti. A. Shank Retires from the Bus iness of Hill & Shank. On the first day of January the part' nership that has existed between W. M, Hill and G. A. Shank, under tbe name of Hill & Shank, butchers, will be dissolved, Mr. Shank retiring. The business, which has grown to splendid proportions, will be continued under tne styie oi w.m Hill & Co., an interest being purchased by Messrs. W. H. and F. M. Smith, of Oak Grove, Tcnn. Mr. Shank may re main with the firm for a few months, and the business will be conducted at the old stand in tbe market. Hotel Arrivals. Glen RockK. S. Herron.Seattle.Wash.; P. N. Wilson, A. E.

South, will hold its Christmas celebration in the church this evening. The First Baptist church is being handsomely decorated for the members' reception to be held there tomorrow be tween the hours of 11 a. m. and 10 p. m. People who were out in the snow yes terday noticed something rarely seen here that almost every snowtlake that It'll was formed into a perfect aud beau tiful star. The cold weather has interfered with tbe work ot the bill pasters in displac ing the paper of the Hettie Bernard Chase company, which comes to the Grand tomorrow evening. In several instances the paste was frozen before the paper could be put on securely. Alderman Leonard did not go to Lin colntoa yesterday as he had intended. After getting to the depot he heard that there had been about six inches of snow down that way, and not caring to take so much ot the "beautilul ' in his n dead ed that he would remain at home. Contractor Kelly has completed the portion oi the new pipe line in Haw creek. The line is now finished to the gap in Beaumont, onlv a few hundred ieet between the gap and the standpipe remaining to ue put in. Mr. Kelly says he expects to finish his contract next week. Another snow fill here vesterday after noon, although it wasa light one. Last night was tbe coldest of the winter, the lowest point reached bv the mercury at ine mnyan sanitarium being u's degrees noovczero. 1 lie sun has been sinning today and altogether the day has not been a disagreeable one. One of the most enjoyable sociables ot the winter was the Leap Year partv given last evening at the residence of Miss Pcnland, on Penlaud avenue, bv the voting ladies of the Social club. About fitty young people were present, and sjicnt the evening pleasantly. Sup per was served at 11 o'clock. ATTHEGRaXD. llcttic Bernard Chase comes back to Ashcville tomorrow, Thursday, evening, and will present her great success, "I'n- cle's Darling." She is a bright actress. has many friends among play-lovers here, and is sure of a good house tomor row evening. A street parade will be given tomorrow afternoon. The Spring field Republican says: "llettie Bernard Chase captivated a Springfield audience last evening. She appeared as 'Little Dar' in I'ncle's Dar ling and her manner was charming throughout. She takes a rollicking part and in it she appears to splendid ad vantage. The support given her by the rest of the company was of the best, so that last evening's performance was one of the most pleasing that Snrinnfield people huve been privileged to cniov. The songs aud dances of Hettie Bernard Chase were very pretty and the audience called her back many times. Tbe special ties were all of the most pleasing charac ter and the play itself, rendered as it was by this company, was almost beyond criticism. IN THE REALTY WORLD.

If they have the proper faith in theirengineert they should be able to raise the money in a twinkling.
