We regret to learn that Mr. Matt Hawkins, who has been quite sick several weeks, is lying in a critical condition. His s3tnptoms were such as to cause grave fears by his family and friends last evening. The incandescent lights were suc cessfully turned on Monday night for the first time in several weeks. The Company has been subjected to con siderable trouble and expense in the loss of armeteurs, etc., in supplying these lights. Mr. I. It. Fuller, who lives about seven miles from town, lost his pack house, containing six barns of tobacco, by lire last night. It is supposed that the fire caught from lightuing or was the work of an incendiary. Mr. Fuller says he was slightly insured. A prominent business man who has been in Washington several weeks on a little business, " or words to that effect," says when he approached Sen ator Ransom on the subject, he was asked with emphasis by the gallant Senator if it were possible that the cit izens ol Henderson wished to com pletely depopulate the town. The audience that greeted Clark's female minstrels at liurwell Hall Sat urday night was small. The perform ance was better than many expected, both as to the character of the enter tainment and the merits of the individ ual acts. The best features of the whole thing were the contortionist acts and the clog dancing of two of the men Arn and Fagin. Henderson sympathizes with Kit trcll, and especially Col. W. F. Davis, who suilered such heavy loss, in the burning of the magnificent and well known Davis Hotel, Saturday morning. A full account of the disaster by which our friends and neighbors so grievously suilered is given by our valued corres pondent Mr. O. W. Rlacknall, whose letter will be found in another column.

The Famous Davis Hotel Burned Full Particulars of the Un fortunate Calamity A Heavy Loss to Col. Davis and to the Town. KiTTfiKLL, X. ('., May let, 1893. The large and excellently appointed Davis Hotel at this place met its doom in the early morning of April 20th. lieforesunup on Saturday, while all its occupants were soundly sleeping. except a few servants w ho had assembled in the kitcheD, though, I believe, no fire had been started, a few early rising neigh bors, saw smoke curling aronnd the cupola in the centre of the largebuilding. l or the moment no harm was appre hended and no alarm given. Rut whin the smoke grew denser and blacker and swept up around the Hag-staff that crowns the cupola, it was een that fire was abroad, and swift ket hurried to the scene. It was high' time. The servants in the kitchen were going about their work all unconscious of the dread agent at work amid therooms and corridors above. The densest smoke already filli.il both stories of the large glass-inclosed porches which ran nearly the whole length of the building. As every bedroom in the hotel opened on this porch, the peril of the sleeping people was at once to be seen. 1 he alarm was instantly and loudly given. Tho guests sprang Iroin thor beds to find their rooms already invaded bvsmoke. Flight through the stiHing porches wan almost impossible and a few moments later would have been entirely so. 1 rue they might have leaped from the back win dows, but none thought of this, besides many were on the second floor. Except in a verV few instances all fied in their night-wear, leaving clothes and valuables behind. Even then in some instances the escapes were by hair breadths. The building burnt like tinder. One lady must have been killed had she been a sifond or two later; a mass of burning timber falling just in her rear as she fled for life down the smoke packed stairs. Mrs. Davis' mother, tho beloved Mrs. Sheppurd and Madame Behr a French lady staying with Mrs. Davis, bewildered by the smoke, must both have been lost, but for the quick and resolute help of ii friend. Fortunately and providentially all got safely out. Rut little could be done to save the contents of the house. The flames pos sessed themselves so rapidly of theSouth part of the building that nothing could be taken out. At the north end a piano, billiard table and a few things were saved. By great good fortune the wind blew steadily from the Southeast, carrying the heat and sparks mostly clear of the town. This aloiiu prevented a sweeping fire. Even then the Henry building, fifty feet from the hotel, caught repeatedly; as did the Staunton bar room, 200 feet distant, once, and a smaller dwelling 000 feet away several times. After some little delay caused by the excitement, Henderson and Raleigh were both wired for help. Henderson responded with great promptness, as no doubt Raleigh would also have done, had not the request been recalled. Fortunately Maj. Winder was in Henderson, and gave all orders necessary as to transportation, besides coming in person to the scene. A strong detachment of the hook, ladder and bucket company under Mr. J. I). Cooper and Capt. l'ryce Jones formed the Henderson relieving force. Though hitched to a leaving freight the run was made in ten minutes; not eight as I have elsewhere stated. The fire was under control when they arrived, though had the Henry building caught as long seemed certain, their help would have been in valuable in saviugtherailroad buildings. Kittrell thanks them one and all for their willingness to help her in her need. The hotel had a frontage of 2.j0 feet, with a wing of 7" feet; besides billiard room, concert hall, bowling alley, &c, and was all two and part three stories high. As stated a two-story glass-inclosed porch extended nearly the entire length of 32" feet. This porch w as pro fusely decorated with rare and expensive pot and hanging plants, all kept in the highest condition. These along with furniture and equipments were of course all lost. Mr. Davis' insurance on the premises was $10,0(0, a small part of it being on mill, stables, factory, ice.., which were not burnt. He has been carrying $20,000, but owing to excellent means to fight fire recently introduced $10,000 insur ance was allowed to lapse. The loss was very heavy indeed and would be hard to estimate. Money has been spent on it with a free hand for twenty years. I will give a short history of the hotel. The nucleus of it was built by Maj. Col lins about 1S."H. The last grand tourna ment of ante-bellum days in this section was held on the level ground in the rear. Dr. Rlacknall bought it in 1805, selling out to Mr. Davis in 1872. Mr. Davis7 ideas of comfort were liberal, his means ample and from that day to this money has been lavished on it to please the high class of patronage it engaged. Its dimensions were increased four-Hold. Building after building was added. One season alone about $1",000 was spent. Furniture and equipment kept pace with other things. The dollars that have been spent there will never be known. I doubt that f".0,0O0 will replace things as they were. Mrs. Davis saved her dia mond valued at $2,000. Mrs. Sheppard's 200 gold watch, but valued far higher as a memento of others days was lost, as were others belonging to the guests, be sides fine guns and pistols. Strange to say, the watches went through tho fire far better than the fire-arms. For though blackened and of course destroyed as time pieces, thecases wereneither crushed nor melted. Of the guns only warped, twisted and separated tubes were found. Even a roll of bank notes, I hear, escaped in a charred state. While a few of the guests saved a good deal, some lost from $1 ,000 to $2,000, clothingand valuables. Fortunately the season was about over, and sill but about twenty had left for their Northern homes. Had the house have beeu full many lives must have been lost. V heavv loser bv this fire as well as one occurred several years ago, was Mrs. Pastawka, an aunt of Mrs. Davis. Much of the wide fame of the Davis Hotel is due to this estimable and unobtrusive lndv. With the&oi hommie of Mr. Davis the bouudless energy and rare genius of Mrs. Davis, backed by the culinary skill of Mrs. Pastawka. the Davis house was well worthy of the unique reputation it bore from Maine to Florida. Mrs. Pas tawka has not been with us as long as her sister, Mrs. Sheppard, but the same amiability and kindliness of nature has won for both a warm place in all our hearts. Fortunately Mr. Davis is a man of means and can rebuild if he sees fit. But his loss is very heavy, w hile the loss of their household goods, in the way of articles for association sake joined totheir narrow escapes was a terrible shock They have the deepest and warmest sympathies of the w hole community. Though New Euglanders, a quarter century sojourn in our midst, attended ever with their great charity, generosity and uprightness, has given them a last ing hold on the hearts of all. Hundreds have had cause to cull them blessed. Kind, sociable, free-hearted, sincere peo ple, they are one and all. True to the great names he bears there was never anything small about Washington Franklin Davis or any of his. With names clear of all reproach, whether they elect to remain with us or to spend their future in Boston where they own au elegant home, our love and good will must be theirs to the end. The hotel here enjoys such a prestige, as so widely and favorably known and commands such an extensive and high class Northern patronage, that the busi ness must needs be continued. Whether Mr. Davis rebuilds himself, or turns it over to younger hands, being now well entitled to retire, there can be no doubt that a new building w ill arise. The Davis cuisine and the Davis hospitality is far too widely know n to come to such an abrupt end. O. W. Rlacknall. . .

A Cyclone Sweeps Across Portions of Vance County Doing1 Great Damage Oxford Suffers Grievously by the Storm Particulars as Far as We Have Been Able to Learn. A severe wind and rain storm passed to the north of Henderson yesterday afternoon about 5:30 o'clock, doing great damage to growing crops, houses, orchards, &c, and in some instances lniury to persons. Owing to the time of going to press it is impossible to give full accounts of the extent of the dam age done. There was a hard rain here but uot much wiud; however, it is learned this morning that Henderson barely escaped the fury of the storm as it did consid erable damage as near by as Mr. Geo. R. Hughes's and Mr. Thomas Stain back's. The former lost his barn, kitchen, corn crib, anotUer small house, orchard, &.c. Mr. Staiuback says his stable was blown six or eight feet, and several trees were torn up near his place. The greatest damage wc have heard of near town was in the neighborhood of Greystone, Brookston and Bowen's Store. The Ward residence, occupied by Ililliary Britt, was blown down, while just across the house of Mr. Cree was partially wrecked, the stone under pinning blown out and otherwise de molished. About fourteen houses in the same ncighbo:ho(l were also blown down. At Brookston Church's store was wrecked and the goods scattered by the wind and damaged by the rain. A Mr. Dupree and a colored man were severely hurt but no lives were lost. The residence of Mrs. Church was damaged and she was also slightly hurt. At Graystone great damage was done. Mr. P. Bourke lost every house on his premises with the exception of his res idence, and that was shaken and twisted to such an extent as to break the plas tering. His stables, barn and buggy house were destroyed and a 8123 buggy smashed to splinters. The stable was lifted from above the horse and torn into kindling wood. The horse was at first thought to be. under the wreck but after the storm" had subsided she came up from the woods badly fright ened and somewhat lame. Every tree abeut the place was either uprooted or twisted oil'. Quite a number of houses in the same vicinity were blown down, and fences and growing crops com pletely blown away and ruined. Oxford suflered severely but it has been ditlicult to get a correct account of the damage Mrs. Roger Gregory's prize house, Hick's Tobacco Co., the top of Leach's stable, gable oil' Minor Warehouse, Xorman Rurwell's prize house, Boykin & Long's prize house and a number of small residences were badly damaged. Two colored men whose names we have not learned are reported killed. News comes that there was some damage in the vicinity of IFilliamsboro. It is is feared that the worst has not been heard, and that the loss of life and property is even greater and more distressing than we at first appre hended. IIoAv'sThis?

The only thing that cast a shadow over the First Regiment, of the North Carolina State Guard, assembled at New Berne last week to enforce the law in the case of the negro squatters on the Br3an lands at James Cit', who refused to give up the property or pay rents for same after the courts had decided against them, was the acci dental killing of Lieut-Colonel David X. Bogart, of Washington. The troops having been ordered to move on the early train Friday morning, were out for dress parade and drill Thursday afternoon, about 0 o'clock. Colonel Bogart was in command of the Regi ment, Col. Wood, of Elizabeth (' iy. having returned home. Just ns the soldiers started from camp at the fair grounds, the horse of Col. Bogart be came unmanageable and ran with him a short distance. The rider was thrown violently to the ground striking the back of his head on the stones of the macadamized street and received injuries from which he died at 2 o'clock next morning. He was picked up in au unconscious condition, blood issue iug from his mouth and cars, and re moved to the residence of Mr. E. B. Roberts, near bj-, from which he was taken later to his room at the Hotel Albert, the proprietor of which Mr. Ful ford, was his brother-in-law. Col. Bogart leaves a wife and eight children. The remains were taken to Washington Friday for burial. His sad and untimely death cast a shadow of gloom over the whole town and the oflicers and men of the First Regiment, by whom he was held in high regard and warm esteem. . - . . La Grippe.
