An overhanging wooden canopy fell from the beef house of Morris & Co., where the fire started, carrying with it tons of red hot bricks and debris upon two companies of Aremen and the chief, crushing them to death and encasing their bodies in a veritable furnace into which their comrades were unable to dig for several hours. Nearly all those who were not killed outright when the walls fell were roasted to death before help could reach them.

Salisbury Cor. Charlotte Observer. The stewards of the 'Salisbury dis trict of the Western North Carolina Conference- held theic first annual meeting in Salisbury Wednesday morning when the work for the com ing year was planned by the minis ters and lay workers in the district. The business of most interest to the meeting was the readjustment of its finances, made necessary 'by the crea tion of a new district by the annual conference at inston last month. ' It was found that the organization of a new district in this section of the State had rather upset the Salisbury district and also materially affected other districts between - Greensboro anj Shelby. It was shown by the presiding elder that it was necessary for the Salisbury district to assume $17,000, being an increase of $1,500 as compared with the previous year and including- increased assessments placed by the annual conference.. The increase and readjustment was easily provided for by unanimous vote of the conference. . Mr. James. G. Line and bride, of Charlotte, are spending the holi. days, with the family of Mr. I E.
