C, Gibson, o20j Clerk Superior Court, Notice A GREAT CONFLAGRATION Nearll Hair million Dollar Fir In Durham Tbaradajr Keren Wede Prlae Honeee mm Elant Cettacra Burnett. v Durham was the victim tf a dii aitroos fire Thursday, when flami broke oat in tbe top tor of one of the double priz; bouses, occupied by H J Bate. Tbe Durham San gi the following account of tbe great conflagration : When the firemen readied tbe scene the top was a seething mass of flames. The fire soon spread to the prize house adj ioing. which was separated from the above by an archway. This house was also oa copied by 11 J Baas. Then it was teen that the neigh boring prize houses situated close by were doomed. The firemen worked manfully, bat the water pressure wasn't sufficient to do very effective work. The best that could be done was done under the circumstances, That better work was not done should be ascribed to tbe dry weather, rather than to tbe firemen then selves, j&verytniog wai a ary as tinder and bnrned fiercely, and there was hardly any checking it, Tbe flames were to hot nearly all the time that a person could hardly ttay near the tire . Hothead at er hogshead of to oaoco was ronea out or. the prize nouses in tne neigbtorfiood. and good deal was carried to placet ont of reaon of tbe nre in baskets and in various other ways. A large nam ber of people, both white and color ed, worked like Trojans rolling hogsheads and carrying out other things from tbe doomed buildings, ine loiiowtng are tbe buildings destroyed : Two prize rooms belonging to B Duke, occupied by H J Bait. Two prize rooms belonging to R'atte; on Fuller street, occupied by the Ao e lean tobacco Company, One rnz4 room on Randolph street, owned by Manning and Mof- gan, occupied by the American To bacco Company, 1,000 insurance on the 'building. Oae prize room owned bv W Duke, occupied by the American Pobticco Company. One dwelling owned by w Duke, occupied by Albert Armstrong. l no dwellings belonging to Will Newton, occupied by Mr. High and Mr. MavDard. The red prize room belonging to tne .New ton estate, occnpied by Biackweu s i'nrbam lobaoco Com pany. lhree dwellings belonging to L W W i8e, -occupied by Oh as. Chand ler, Wbitt lajlorand Chas. Cope na. Two other dwelling biases owned by a Li Duke, occupied by Mr scan ana airs Kamsey. 1 he American Tobacco Company had about two and a half million pounds of tobacco in Irs three houses, At this writing it is impossible to say what their Joss will be. 1 he id janes to the electric light wires from tbe ll im t is estimated to be abont $50. Ihe damage to the wires of the Bell Telephone Compiny and the aterState Telephone Company is estimates at $iou eacn. W T tarring ton had abont five hundred thousand ponnds of tobso co; $20,000 insurance. About 100 hogsheads of tobacco were saved. be vera I of tbe Bremen came near being overcome by the scorching flames. In fact one or two were compelled to lie down and take some rest, one of tbem being W F Free- land. Three of Raleigh's fire companies tbe Rescue, tbe Hook and L.dder Company and tbe Capital Hose Company came np to Durham on a P 'oial train consisting of an engine, wo flat cars and a coach. About fifty men came np on the special. and thev had all necessary appara tus for fighting fire. Their services were not needtd, however, as tbe flames were pretty well under con trol when they Arrived here this afternoon They were very prompt n responding to the call as soon as tbey heard of the fire here. Fears were entertained tbat Duke' woodyard and the buildings inside of that inclosure would catch, but fortunately these were saved. If these bad burned other buildings would likewise have gone, and there is no telling whare the fire would ave stopped. At this time, daring the exoite, ment, we can give only a partial list the insurance. The ' following were insured with W 11 McCabe for the amounts stated: American To bacco Company, $46,600; B L Duke, SU.W84: tieorge W Watts, $6,000; W Uuke, cottage, $1,000; 11 J Bass & Uo., $U,400. Tbe total insurance of some of he Iowa witb tbe firm of J South- gate & Son amounts to $55,000. All told, tbe losses on buildings nd tobacco will not miss $400,000, and may possibly reach half a mil lion. Ware I be Child Home. Mrs. M M Gillon has returned from a visit to her lister, Mrt.

He oame to town last Monday to see tbe street parade of the circaa. While standing on tbe streets, his attention was attracted by a canvassed ham suspended to a peg in tbe front of one of the stores. The old darkey viewed tbe stange thing witb longing cariosity, finally asking: "Master, what is dat sowed np in de bag ?" He was told, and when going on bis way, he chuckled and remarked tbat the town people were ' so curious now a days dat de poor old country nigger couldn't keep up wld 'em." H'nen Tan y Rnaef. The time when gunners may again revel in their favorite sports it now nearing, and as tbe period is often forgotten and information as often called for, The Standard is glad to publish the following, kindly fur nished by a member of the ban THS GAMS LAW. Section 2834 of The Code, at ap plioable to Cabarrus county, has been amended by Chapter 79, Laws 1891, and Chapters 339 and 3C1 Laws 1893, to as to read: No person shall kill or shoot, trap or net any partridges, quail, doves, lark, mocking birds or wild turkeys between the fifteenth day of March and the fifteenth day of November in each year; and the person to of fending shall be guilty of a mitde. meanor, and fined not exceeding ten dollars for each offence. Chapter 491, Laws 1897, manes it a misdemeanor to destroy the nest of a mocking bird, or to kill a mock ing bird at any time. Trenble ml the Mills. The Odell mills have been run ning extra at night for more than a month past, having gotten behind in orders for goods, etc., bat the mills were necessarily cloeed Thurs day night, on account of a short' ness of n.ght hands, that class of labor having been induced by a slick-tongued man to leave their work here and go elsewhere. There is no little amount of trouble with a certain class of bands at the various mills in the city, caused by persuasion. Tbe name of tbe man offering hands Klondike inducements to go with him to a cotton mill in South Carolina, is G W Hunter, hailing from Charlotte. Ea:-laverar Bole on Cold and Bllrer Ex Governor Boies has written a letter upon tbe subject of "The Bui lion as a basis of National Curren cy."

It issaid no plan of that character would be in accord with the Chi cago platform. Tbat is true. But the Chicago platform has bad its day in court before the tribunal of last resort. Must Democrats to be ioyal adhere to it forever ? Tbe objection is at variance with the theory of our form of government. "If it prevailed elections would settle nothing, majorities would cease to rule and when a political issue was once joined, the warfare over, it would go on until one or tbe other of tbe parties to it was to tally annihilated."

Charlotte News: There is a rumor to the iffect that there will toon be a decided change in tbe schedule of No. 35, the Son' hern's fast mail from Washington, that ar rive! in Charlotte at 10 o'clock p. m. A Newt reporter learnt tbat a marked change of schedule on tbe Pennsylvania road tbat putt this train in Washington three hours earlier, is the reason why the Souths ern will make the change. Tbe train over tbe Pennsylvania road re ferred to above connects with the Southern in Washington. All th Southern mail from New York and Northern points is brought to Wash ington by this train and is then taken op by the Southern. Th road having the government con tract for carrying southern mails it natural to suppose that Uncle Sam will see to it that such an im portant batch of mail is not to be delayed tor hours before it begins it journey South. If this be true N 35 will in all probability reach Charlotte between 7.30 and 8 oclock A News reporter interviewed prominent Southern official regard ing this probable change bat be did not know whether or not the matter was nnder consideration.

From the Salisbury ''un we learn tbat a party going home from the show at Salisbury, Tuesday even ing, attempted to cross tbe river at Trading Ford and the two mules and wagon with women and men were drifted down the river. One mule was drowned and tbe other was found the next day and rescued from a kind of raft by which it kept its head above the water. The wagon's lodging onLeach rock saved tbe people from drowning and all were rescued. It seems that the calamity was caused by the persis tency of John Wood, who said ne would cross or die, while others plead against the venture.
