It is Unsatisfactory
The electric lighting on the uptown 1
circuit is very uncertain and unsatis
factory. Pedestrians picking their
way over the mud holes and gulleys
which abound in the sidewalks, ever
and anon find themselves in utter (
darkness; compelled to go on through .
mud and in the gulleys guiding them
selves aB best they can by the splash
of the water through which they un
willingly plunge. At Central Metho
dist church, which is lighted by elec
tricity, the congregation frequently
find themselves "sitting in darkness"
much of the time of worship; a very
lamentable condition for a church to
be in. The people are entitled to a
Bteady light and it should be furnished.
DESTRUCTIVE FIKK.
Death ol Mrs. J. R. Williams.
It is with the deepest regret that
we announce the death of Mrs. Ari
adne E. Williams, the beloved and s
timable wife of our esteemed fellow
citizen, J. Ruflln William Esq , which
took place at her residence, corner of
McDowell and Martin streets, this af
ternoon between two and three
o'clock.
Mrs. Williams had been in rather
declining health for some time past,
but her demise was somewhat sud
den and unexpected. For a lou;r se
ries of years she had been a member
of Edenton Street Methodist Church,
and was an earnest and unswerving
follower of the Master. In iier death
the social circle loses a bright and
shining light, and her immediate fa .a-,
ily a most loving, tender and devoted
wife and mother.
She leaves a stricken husband, two
sons and one daughter, besides nu
merous relatives to mourn their loss.
To these the Visitor extends its most
heartfelt sympathy, and can but hope (
that He who tempers the wind to the j
shorn lamb, will bring comfort to
their bleeding hearts

Ice Factory Burned.
About 2 o'clock this morning tbe
ice factory located on the N. C. and
R & A. A. Line Railroads near Boy
lans bridge took fire, and. notwith
standing the utmost efToitsatcom
mand were used, nearly the entire
building was consumed, 'though
the iire department responded with
promptness, it was found difficult to
obtain water, th nearest hydrant be
ins at the corner of West and Har
gett streets over a quarter of a mile
distant. The boiler, engine and elec
trie Btreet railway dynamo in the
building were saved.
The factory was owned by Messrs
Jonws St Hallett, and it is understood
to have been doing a most thriving
business. There is still a quantity of
ice on hand. It is thought that the
loss will be in the neighborhood of
$10,000, which as far as we have
been able to learn, is covered by in
surance. The proprietors have our
deepest sympathy and we hope they
may soon repair all damages and re
sume operations.
Wo learn that insurance was placed
on tbe factory in the following com-
nauies:
Fire Association of Pbila., $1,000.
