The crowd was back from the fire lines and no one was hurt. During the early part of the fire last night Fire man Brown became suffocated while .fighting the flames through a window in the second floor of the Duke build ing, fell backward and plunged head foremost toward the pavement, 20 feet below. He was miraculously saved from instant death when his coat caught on the hook of a ladder, holding him suspended in the air three feet from the ground. Durham, March '24. The business section of Durham this morning is in ashes. The worst fire in the history of the city, entailing a property loss of not less than $1,000,000, broke out in the Brodie L: Duke building at 11 o'clock last night and, fanned by a stiff wind, spread rapidly. Shortly after the fire started the water mains burst and for more than half an hour the firemen were help less. During this time the flames gained rapid 'y nnd soon it was seen! that Durban. v- face to face with - the greatest coiiiiagration in her his- tory. All the buildings adjoining the Duke five-story structure fell one af ter another a prey to the flames, and then the flames jumped. across streets and fell upon .business houses located on Parrish, Orange, Mangum and Corcoran. . ' The Duke building, the handsomest in Durham and standing five stories high, was the first to go. In it were located the 5 and 10 cent store. of Durham and some 200 offices. The building was completely gutted. When the fire broke out the flames quickly swept up the elevator's shaft and while the entire fire fighting ap paratus of Durham was soon on the scene the firemen were , practically helpless to check the spread of the flames by reason of a broken water main. There was no water for fully half an hour, and in the meantime the fire completely enveloped the office building to adjoining property. A heavy wind blew the flames across the block in a northwesterly direction anl great sparks and parts of tle burning roofs were dropped in all that section of the town.

Bncklin & Co., PliladelpWa or St Louis. II ad? Hide Sereral Trips ta Hzrzizz Dpke Bcildirx Elerator Boy Deserted. Durham, March 21. K. A. White tides, a Trinity College senior, was the hero of the ficrre fire that destroy- rJ 1603,000 worth of property here list nijht, and hU daring possibly saved the lives of six or eight per sons who had been alseep on the focrth and fifth floors of the Brodie L. Duke building. .lamping into the elevator that had bern deserted by the operator, this college youth ran it up and down its shaft through heat and smoke until the last person was Gown and until there was nothing left for the dera te move on- The last time, indeed, he could only go to the fourth floor- to go higher he would have been rora pelled to run into flaming air. When he came down this last trip the eleva tor wavered "and shook with the rum-: blings of the flames, and when within eight feet of the bottom the ear had practically nothing to move on, part of the woodwork having been burned and charred,-and it all but fell with a crash. But on this last trip made through smoke and flame, with death playing in lurid form all about risk ing his life to death as the solemn re ward, with his nose and mouth cov ered by one nand and with the other hand piloting the elevator upward, the new elevator boy found one last man, the only man left in the build ing, and brought him to the cherished earth. ' , Thus he became a hero, and after his duty was done he slipped away. To Decide Method of Nomination.
