Up to yesterday afternoon about half past three o'clock six families lived in the old two-story eight-room frame tene ment on North Main street just south of the Carolina house. In every room there was a cooking stove, and. the stovepipes were run through walls with not the greatest care. About 3:30yestcnlay the building caught fire fro-- one of these de fective flues and there was trouble right away. An alarm was sounded and the occu pants tumbled out of tbe bi..lding in double-quick order. When the general alarm struck facts were brought out which will not impress the citizen of Asheville very favorably. Neither of the drivers in the fire department were at headquarters, where their duty would have compelled them to be. Instead they were off eating dinner, it is said. The water supplv was also cut otT. on account of recent breakage of machin ery. The water was turned on when the alarm struck, but it was lO or 15 minutes before there was enough in the pipes to give the required force. Foreman M. II. Kelly, of the hook and ladder company, and Capt. Frank O'Donnell, of Hose company No. 1, fol lowed by memhers of the department, ran to headquarters, arid finding the drivers, Fullnm and lirooks, away hitched the horses themselves and started to the fire. Tbe hose truck cleared the door all right, but Foreman Kelly turned the long hook and ladder wagon too short and one of the rear wheels caught against the door knock ing the wheel askew and throwing M r . Kelly off his seat, luckily without injur ing him. The damage was soon repaired and the truck went to the fire. When the hose truck reached the scene the coupling was made to a hydrant and water turned on. That is, it was sup posed to be turned on, but there was not a pint of water in the pipes. The hose men then dropped the hose and put in time saving furniture. The tire was pro gressing the very best it knew how, helped on bv a stiff breeze which blew the sparks directly upon the store build ing adjoining. It was a brick building. however, and this fact probably saved tt. When the w. ter was turned on the companies made short work of the tire, but not until the roof had been burned, along with the greater portion of the interior of the second storv. Much ol the furniture was saved. The building was owned by the estate of the late M. P. I'enland and there was no insurance. R. II. Le?, of the bose company, carries a broken finger as a result of bis work at the fire. Considering tbe negligence of men in responsible positions who ought to have been at their posts, it seems a wonder that the fire did not prove more destructive.

T lie naval rendezvous at Hampton Ronrls is i u ,v a thing of l he past anil will n" clow u into history as one of the most brilliant ma rine pageants of modern times. It was half past nine before the 1'b la delphia got under way and started up the Roads to the west end of the fleet. She was quickly followed by the other United States vessels. Upon arriving at a point about five miles awav. the White Squadron wheeled into line uud came down past the fort and stood outto sen. In the meantime the Dolphin with Sec tary Herbert and party j,t under, way arid steamed up the Koads with the fleet until they turned, where she remained to observe the movements ol the other ves sels. As the hite Souadron enme down the Koads. they were joined by the Hol land ship Van Sheyk and two uerman vessels, which completed the first or port column. At the head of the seanoarci column came the British fleet with Vice-Admiral Hopkins as commander-in-chief, and consisting of the Blake as flag shin, the Australia." Macicnne and Tar tar. The Russia came neat with Vice- Admiral Kossenkoff, cotnmander-in chief, on the flag ship Dimitri Donoski, to! lowed by General-Admiral and Kynda France followed and Italy came next1 Brazil brought up the rear column. The foreigner did not make a sweep up the Roads and turn into the line as uiU the White Squadron, out iuok men places in line from their anchorage. While the fleet was netting under way the Rorida were crowded with pleasure yachts, excursion steamers and sail boats of all descriotions. crowded with visitors, many of which accompanied the fleet down to the capes. The ramparts of the fort were black with visitors. The niiazas of the llvneia hotel were packed with ladies waving handkerchiefs to their deoartintr friends. Col.

It is needless to moralize on tbe direful fleets of intoxicating liquors when used to excess. Moralists have written thousands of books thereon; philanthro pists have founded usylums and reform atories; physicians have labored and ex postulated;' wives -fand mothers have pleaded tearfully, yet the "terrible fact remains that the curse is more rampant than ever. What is to be done? Legis lation has proved unavailing. So far as it goes, law is right; but appetite cannot be controlled by the statute book. We must treat the drink habit intelligently and understandingly, and when we claim it is a disease and should be tieated as such, we believe we have come near the method by which the problem can be solved. Arguments, threats and punishment have proved futile. Let us now try rea son and common sense. Drunkenness is the outcome of a nervous disease, either acquired or inherited. The patient, in the great majority of cases, is willing, nay anxious, to be cured.. His will power. however, has become paralyzed, and he must have all the aid obtainable to re new the battle for the recovery of his manhood, and maintain it successfully. The Houston Narcotic Cure Company make an urgent appeal to the public in the interest ot humanity, temperance and reform. We would respectfully ask that all good people lend their aid and that church, charity and temperance organiza tions, also all persons who have seen and felt the influence and evil effects resulting from the use of alcohol or narcotics in their own families or otherwise, co oper ate with us in securing the attendance at our institute for the treatment of men and women who have been so unfortu nate as to fall victims to the excessive use of alcohol, opium, morphine or to bacco. We guarantee an absolute cure for these habits or will cheerfully re fund the money. Correspondence confi dential. Address for terms, circular and testi monials, The Houston Nakcotic Ci kh Co.

Thirteen Peniona Trampled to Dealb In a Cliurcli. Naples, April 24-. A fatal panic oc curred last evening in the Church of Torre Annunciata. During the services, which wei e attended by a very large number, part of the draperies about the altar were blown avaintt a ligntea can dle. The flames spread with great rapid ity, and the cougregntion made a rush for doors. The wildtst excitement pre vailed and women and children were thrown to the floor and trampled upon. The fire was quickly extinguished and when some semblance of order was re stored it was tound that eight women and five children had been crushed to death, while hundreds were injured.

Orders have been received by Captain John H Daniels, of the Wilmington Li;ht Infant ry, belonging to the Second regiment, to hold his company in "readiness to move to James City at a moment's notice. Sixty men, fully armed and equipped tor service, are now in line at the parade grounds momentarily expecting orders to take a special train tor (joldsboro, tbe point of rendezvous for troops expected to go to James City. There is considerable excitement here which is heightened by the fact that the Wilmington Light Infantry was not ex pected to be ordereJ under arnis.it being supposed that the first regiment, all ot which is now assembling at Goldsboro, would be sufficient to enforce the law at James City.
