FORTY HOUSES B I'll ED. Ejo Over Two Humlied Thous and Dollar Thirteen White Families and Four Colored Families Left Homeless. Fire broko out on last Sm-Jr.y morning at 11 o'clock in an ul J di lapidated building known as the "Ark." The building was old and dry and burned like tinder. The wind was terrible and the fire spread like lightning. 'Tho Ark" AVas immediately be hind the court house and the wind blew a southern direction right over the business portion oi town, which w as entirely swept away. The only store building left stand ing in the whole town is McCurry's, a two-story brick structure. The county jail was burned and the prisoners, numbering twenty three among whom was the noted Hoke Secrest, were transferred to the Eale Hotel until the fire was under control. Later, were placed under guard in the court house which was not burned where they will remain. United States Marshal Allison came up on Tuesday to look after the U. S. prisoners. The fire was perhaps the most terrible one ever known in Western North Carolina, and the loss will be borne but poorly as very little property and merchandise wore in ured. The greater portion of the business houses and dwellings were wocden structures and could not be saved, as our town has no fire company or v.ater works, ihe lol- lowing is a list .of the stores burn ed: The hardware store of W. P. Jones, the drug store of Morphew & White, the dry goods 6tores were : McCall & Conley, J. S. Dysart, W. P. Blanton, Martin ISros., D. N. Lonon & Bro., Wm. McD. Burgin ; grocery store of J. P. Norton, T. 11. Martin, A. B. Gilkey & Son, W. B. Ratliir, J. B. Swindell, jeweler; Geo. II. Gilkey, furniture: Thos. Medd, variety store. The dwellings were destroyed as follows: M. A Newland, Mrs. Lizzie Neal, E.J. Justice, C. A. Dale, Capt. Ser.gle, VV. b Craig, Dellinger Hotel and outhouses, with ail furniture, also a bar room belongfng to the hotel, some distance off; J. G. McNaugh- ton and Maj. James Neal. The business of the town is well nigh ruined and will be for some time, though the work of re-build- iug has commenced alrbady in a small way, but on account of the scarcity of building material, the work will go on slo vly at ket Mr. J. S. Dv.sart who lost cue d welling and two stow liuu.-es, with a Lir.- stock of gxls, ia probabiv the heaviest loser. The list of dwell ings and store houses, leaves out all of the warehor..r;s ana out houses tfce. The Post ofiicc was burned, and the old Old Free Lance office with job office and printing outfit com plete. The fire caught on a mountain a mile from town soon after it first broke out. So it can be seen from this rapidity with which it spread. The people of Marion were power less; with their means of fighting fre, to prevent its progress; it stopped in the evening about 6 o'clock after having burned com pletely out. Will the people of this town learn from this sad experience the necessity of some protection against fire, or will they continue to disregard the matter an tney have done in the past. The Record has repeatedly warned them of the danger of their course, and if they had takt-n the advise given them iha . errMler unrtion of the town I P5 1 would, at least have been saved, but they- would learn in none other than tbe school of experience, and while the lesson has ben a dear one trust it will alo r.r v- :i ' Vitiui)it; OliO. It is not supposed that the firej was the work of incendiaries. The building in which it started was old and dilapidated, and was said to have been condemned some time ago, and ought to have been torn down. The loss has fallen heavily on almost all our citizens, many are homeless and destitute, and few in deed w ere they who escaped a,U in- ; jury, l he ruins are still smoking in many places and thevbolo town has a desohitecnjicanaire. ixs.f.s ami Insurance.
