Fire "Originated From -a Defective Chimney at the Horn of F. R. Cox, a Colored Preacher, Aid the Blase Sweeps Young Street,! Destroying Three Houses and Damaging Oth ers. Fin Started Aboat S O'clock. Loss Partly Covered By Insur ance. Steady Win Makes Trou ble for Fireman, ' fire destroyed three (houses ou Young street yesterday , afternoon. The houses belonged to colored peo ple, i.' K. Fox, a preacher, Mary Montgomery and Lou Jolinaon. The alarm was sent in about 3 o'clock and the firemen ttiadc a quick response. They coupled with a hy drant at the lower end of the street, about 600 feet from the. Cox house, which was the first to cath, and be gan sending a stream a?iiinst the structure. The house, which cnught at the room, near the chimney, was quickly enveloped by the blnze, which fanned by the winds, licked its way into every corner. The firemen were handicapped by a weak pressure, ow ing to defective house. The house was two stories. anoLwas insured for $500. A steady wind was aweeping across the hill and before, the Cox house, crumpled the house 'of M:ry Mont gomery, about 500 feet awny, caught. The roof was parched, by the torrid heat from the Cox bouse nnd when the flames touched " it they spread rapidly. The firemen centered their attack on this house, 'Standing as close as the heat wonld permit but the blaze, aided by the. wiud, prov ed unquenchable.' An idea of the rapidity with which the house burned may be gained by the; 'fact that a number of the large crowd that gath ered made efforts to get out the household effects were' driven back by the heat and only a few things of small vaule were saved. . Mary Montgomery 'a house was con sidered' tlie best m the talored sec tion of the city. It was drivetaoi tion of the city. It was a seven room cottage of neat appearance and was said to be furnished neatly and, to judge by the standard of the neigh borhood, lavishlv. It was insured for $400. While this house was ablaze the firemen were put to a severe test. The wind, instead of abating appar ently -grew stronger, and:' swept sitarks and bnrnins shingles across on other houses, five cat citing during the time the three were burning. Fearing the blaze would spread up the entire street firemen were dispatched to headquarters for reserve hose. They returned in quick time and a stream was secured from the hydrant corner South Spring and Young streets. This put two Btreams, one from each direc tion on the blaze and the move was of almost inestimable value in saving other houses. From the Montcomery ' house the blaze jumped two small houses and caught Lou Johnson's house, a small three-room structure near the inter section of Spring street. . While the firemen were unable to save ? this house thev did fine work . in extin guishing the adjoining houses, which caught frequently. Lou Johnson "is reported to be in New York and the amount of insurance, if any.-on the house, could not be ascertained. The house was occupied by her daughter. . Fir This Morning. At 7:40 o'clock this morning a fire alarm was sent in from Valley street. Alex Sadler's house being on fire, The blaze was extinguished by a buck et brigade without the assistance .of the firemen. One hour later the alarm was sent tj HI 11UUI IUV DU.C , " startin? from the stove fine. : Again 1 the firemen responded and again their 'services were, not needed, the small blaze being quickly extinguished by the neighbors. , i !

Te Be Given March SO and SI Under the Direction of Mr. and Mrs. Wil liaa Patti. Mr. and Mrs. William O. Pat tic, of Frankfort, Ky- made arranireuients with the Concord Lodge of Elks last evening to give an Elks' .Minstrel here Monday and Tuesday evenings. March 30 and 31. Mr. and Mrs. Pat- tie havj recently staged niinntreU for the Asheville and Durham lodges and bring with them testimonials of their efficiency for this work from the exalted rulers of tbe above lodges. Tbe local Elks have gone into the task with a spirit of enthusiasm that insures success. 1 be time is short and the rehearsals will begin at once. The minstrel will contain all the big fea tures that make a minstrel awake the humorous senses of men. Mr. Pattie provides w-stumea and scenery so there will be every opportunity for the Cohans, Evans and llopiters t.f the Concord lodge to show to the best ad vantage. This is the first time the Concord Elks have arranged to appear behind the footlights. While the minstrel will be their maiden effort in the his tronic art there is one thing the pub lic may be assured and that is the minstrel they present will not be a dull, lifeless, thing. The Elks have a natural propensity for "pulling'" live stuff and that propenstiy is go ing to be allowed to go the limit. Its going to be a performance of life and action there with a kick and there with the punch. For instance, take a look at the above cut." Does it look dull and uninteresting f Undoubtedly not. Well there are going to b ethmgs in the minstrel that look that way and possibly some, may look worse and perhaps1 a few that may look better. Anyway whatever via '.presented-, wil Pe well worta looking at. ' . .. 'Faust at the Opera House Tonight Unless all signs fail, the attend ance at the opera house for the per formance tonight will mark a pleas ant engagement of the New York Opera Company, who will present Faust. The opera, which must come as a welcome entertainment to those who have possibly never had the chance to hear Gounod's brilliant con position, which by the way, is rf much lighter order than some of the grand operas winch are heard now-a-days, and which being sung in English surely ought to be .much more acceptable to the masses of theatre patrons. To hear Faust sung by such talent js is announced by the New Yortf Grand Opera Company, would seem to invite particular attention. Tiv cast includes. Chevalier Salvatore Giordano, Caruso's protege, and re garded as the handsomest tenor on the operatic stage, who will appear in the title role, while Richard E. Parks, the basso-baritone, sings Meplnsto ; Romero Malpiea as V alcii tine; Marguerite Hobert as Margari. ta; Madame Josephine Konoero as Siebel, and Etyhl M. Peteres as Mar tha. Tims, it must be concluded that the principals have beeen well chosen. The Metropolitan Symphony Trio irives an added interest to tl'e proper interpretation of Gounod's beautiful score, and tne lact tuaij the chorus numbers are not left to an uncertain aggregation of chorus sing ers, has been declared a positive re lief, as the principals themselves render the chorus numbers much more mnsicianlly. ' ' . Scenieallv and otherwise, the New York Grand Opera Company claim a production well in touch with all the most exacting aemanas.

Tbe Obesrrer Speakas ELjJdy of tbe Opera There Last Night The opera "Faust" which is to be sung in tbe opera bouse here tonight was heard in Charlotte last night, and the Observer says of it: Gounod 's immortal masterpiece "Faust" was well sung before two appreciative audiences yesterday af ternoon and last night at the Acade my of Music by tbe New York Opera Company. Barring the fact that there was no chorus and that the amplication of the orchestra as limited, the produc tion was creditable and was enjoy ed. It was the first tin in many years that "Faut" had been sung in Charlotte," although as a spectacular play it had been presented times with out number. This fact served to rivet interest in the engagement. The crowns were noi large, which was not surprising in view of the fact that this was the first visit of the opera company and the public was uncertain as to its merit. The role of Faust was sung by Sal vatore Giordano, whose tenor voice was heard with much pleasure. Mar guerite Hobert made a beautiful and bewitching Margarita. She is evident. ly very young and it was sometimes difficult to say whether her diffidence was real or simulated. She has a so prano voice of purest quality and gave a very convincing depiction of inno cence and purity. Richard E. Parks, a basso baritone, sang the role of Mephistopheles m an acceptable fash ion and irode His Satanic Majesty a very real creature, albeit given to sardonic mirth. Romero Mai pica, u baritone, was valentine, Josephine Rondero, a contralto, was Siebel anl Ethyl M. Peters, soprano, played the role of Martha. The best of course was at the last. In the prison scene Miss Hobert rose finely to the occasion and the audi ences were enthusiastic in their ap plause. St. Patrick's Day in New York. New York, March 17.
