Lost night shortly Woro nino
o'eloek-, Mont Amoen Seminary, the
well known odaeotionol institution
for young women at Mt. Pleasant,
woo disco r 'red to bo in flames. The
fire had gained inch headway before
being discovered that nothing eould
bo done to save it, and it is now a
aso bt rains.' . ' i
, Most of the young ladies of the
Seminary were at the time at the ao-
' ditorium attending an entertainment.
It is supposed that a lamp in one of
the rooms near -the centre of the
building exploded, sotting fire to the
bailding. This was on the second
: floor and near the room of the Pres
ident of the Seminary, Prof. C. L.
T. Fisher.
The alarm was at ones given and in
a few minutes the people of the
whole town turned oat to render all
assistance possible. Mt. Pleasant
has no fire fighting apparatus, and
the only dependence was the "buck
et brigade.'' It was seen at once
that no means at hand eould possi
bly save the building, and aU ef-'
forts were directed toward saving
. from destruction - the contiguous
buildings. This was a very difficult
task, and the fire was fought - con
tinually until 3 o'clock this morn
ing, and was elosely watched several
hours after that time. The home of
Mr. Chal Lenta on the north side
was nearest too Seminary ' building
and at one time this house caught
fire but was extinguished.
Nearly all the trunks, and other
effects belonging to the young ladies
were iroeu-uui.4i tne snuu .Jutiid. i
uig, inu several ox mem, iosi every
thing they bad exoepU elothin worn
at the time. Fortunately there were
no accidents, although Mrs. Fisher
had a narrow escape. In an effort to
save everything possible she was
caught on the second floor without
an avenue of escape by stairway, and
had to jump to the ground from a
window. She was caught by several
persons and alighted without injury.
The Seminary building contained
65 rooms and all of them were occu
pied, There were 54 boarding stu
dents, and, including teachers and
others, there were about 75 persons
in the building. Everything connect
ed with the Seminary was in the one
building ' and - annex, ..dormitories
laundry, kitchen, dining rooms, reci
tation rooms, etc.
The, total loss is about $15,000.
There were $5,500 insurance on the
building, furnishings, etc. The North
, Carolina Synod' owned .the larger
part .6f the buildings and furniture.
Prof. 4 Fisher owning about $3,500.
The "Synod was insured for i only
$2,000 on a valuation of nearly $12,
000, tut Pro! Fisher is more fortu-
. note 'and bis' lost on building and
furniture is fully covered by insur
ance He bad 150 cords of wood
. burned, houses, 'and also lost about
$300- in provisions, and on this, was
no insurance. Only a small part of
the personal effects of Prof, and Mrs.
Fisher was saved.,
A? few years ago a water system
was -installed in the annex at a cost
of about $1,500, and there was no
insurance on tliis. '
" Wo are alad to bo able to make the
' announcement that in all probability
. the school will bo continued with on
ly a few days interruption. If the
v. people f Mt. Pleasant will make the
proper effort to have the school oon-
" tinue, it will be done; and we are as
sured that this effort will bo made.
A mass meting of the citizens of
Mt. Pleasant is called to be held in
the1 auditorium this afternoon at 2
o'clock to consider this matter. The
people there have taken the matter
aft in earnest, and say that the school
v must continue. They eannot' afford

now appears certain that . the trial of
RiQhard W. Allnut, accused of mur
der, will be taken np in the Mont- j
gomery county district court here
early next week, v Numerous, features
in connection with the ease combine
to give promise of one of the most
notable murder trials that has taken
place in this section in many years.
The crime with which Allnutt is
charged is the murder of his sister,
who was slain at her mother's home
near Dawson ville, this qounty, on
March 14 last. Several months be
fore' the tragedy Allnutt had married
and after his marriage bad boarded
at the home of his brother, Lawrence
Allnutt, at Dawson ville.
Richard Allnutt was desirous of
taking his wife to his mother's home
to live, but there had been objection
on the part of members of the family,
and Allnutt went to his old home on
the morning of the alleged murder
to talk the matter' over. The refusal
of his family to consent to the pro
posed arrangement im said to have
angered Allnntt, who la alleged to
have grabbed the handle of a pitch
fork and viciously attacked his sis
ter, Mrs. Tiers; his aged mother, and
the latter 's old mend and compan
ion, Miss Jane' Rawlings. Mrs. Tiers
skull was erushel and she died a few
hours after the attack. Mrs. Allnutt
and Miss Rawlings recovered, though
for a time their condition was criti

During the long period of bis con

Wednesday, and the News has this:
Mr. Cook talked! entertainingly
and with enthusiasm bt the work of

had already been begun for a build
ing that would increase the capacity
from 60 to 100 ooys.- There now 60
boys in the training- department of
the school, with applications for the
admission of fully 50. more. By lack
of faflj'UW thia hftjhn impossible.
though Mr. Cook as confident that
such will not be the case, once the
people of the state begin to see the
results of a few years training in
boys who were legally incorrigible.
Mr. Cook says the new administra
tion building, intended as a memorial
to "Bill" Nys, is nearing completion
and that be expects it to be formally
turned over about January 1. This
