Just before 3 o'clock p. mM1 to -4ay (Monday) the alarm of re was 'sounded and a 'huge smoke pierced the sky in South Con- . cord. It was soon ascertained to-be, Mr. William H Blume's large barn. The building was Completely enveloped before any material help arrived. , - - . i The sad, sad part was $hata good family horse was the help less victim of the pitiless flames'. The fire was quick in its dread ,ful work. The immense .crowd rendered all the assistance that could be rendered' in removing palings and fences. i Several fleet young, men arj rived in time to carry out two bales of cotton and attempted to rescue the horse but the bain . was creening and the door opened inward. The horso's mane and tail were already flaming -and nothing could be done for him. There was fortunately no breeze and the danger of spread ing was reduced to , a minimum. Mr. Blume carried some in surance in the Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Association, the particulars of which we could not get at this writing. Little Folks Were About. Mr. D A Caldwell .tells us that on last Friday while setting the Presbyterian manse in order for the Rev. Mr. Cornelson and family a door lock that was out of order was taken off for ex amination and the trouble was found to be a ladies gold ring.

It seems a pretty bad tie up.- A case of scarlet fever devel oped at Clem son College last Sunday, and as a consequence iho work of the College has been suspended and all the cadets sent to their homes. A number of cases of the same disease are at Newry, a mill town six miles west of the College, says the An derson Intelligencer. Five new battleships and six crusers are to be added to our navy.

Dr. F J Murdoch, pastor of St. Luke's Episcepal church, has been pre sented. with a handsome and- costly set' of library furniture by his congregation as a Christmas gift. The presentation was made thus early for the reason that Dr. ; Murdoch has recently removed into, a ; new house on Horah street, and it was wished to fit up his library before ; h$ should make bother arrange ments. TRAVIS NOT NUDERED. The Catawba Man Bled From Memor rhaje of the Brain and not 3frora .Murder. The Newton correspondent to the, Charlotte Observer says that the body of Levi Travis was ex humed last Saturday and -his , . i v. - skull examined. The result was that it was shown postively that tho man had not been murdered as it was announced by tho first inquest. From an injury re ceived some years ago bono cancer set in in the skull. This encroached on an artery which burst and bled profusely and produced tho pressure that made the tongue and eyes of tho man protrude. This inquest clears up the mystry and relievos the public mind. The commissioners of the county had already offered $200 reward for tho murderer. Tho physician who conducted the autopsy said tho man would not ha.ve died more suddenly if his head had been shot otf by a cannon ball than hodid.when the artery burst. (Jaitber-Kruton.
