' As the Journal 'reported In, yesterday's i Issue, the gin house of that corpora tion 'was destroyed at one o'clock yes terday morning.. The fire gained rap Idly and before' either fire company had arrived the building wa doomed. The dry condition of all material made tt easy food tor the fire. The flames were fanned Into a fury by the breeze which blew from the northeast, and was the means of scattering the em bers tar and wide, and placing the bal anoe of the plant and cars, which were in the yard in extreme' Jeopardy. '. The gallant fight of the fire-laddles Is Worthy of more than passing notice. They were handicapped by a very In sufficient pressure, and but for this failure they would have been enabled to- put the fire under control before. As It. Was, they subdued the flames in wonderfully short time. A good specimen of their ' work was ; on ' the ears which repeatedly caught on fire being right abreast of the fiercest of the conflagration. The wonder Is that they were not all consumed. The saving of the water tank was a feat hard to accomplish, but by taking; great risks, two firemen went up the ladder a distance of thirty or forty feet from the ground and put out the fire which would undoubtedly have caused much damage. '.' - Enquiry yesterday failed to reveal the origin of the fire. The place Is remote from the boiler room, and It could not possibly have caught from that source; there was no other fire of any description around the place, consequently the real origin of the fire la as much of a mystery to the proprietors as to others.. There were 10 or 15 bales of cotton, all of which were more or less burned. 'The loss la provided for by Insurance. : With characteristic, "energy , the company will begin as soon, as possi ble to rebuild and will push the con struction rapidly In order that they may lose as little Urn as possible. They had but Just completed the re pairs from the first fire, when this occurred. They have the sympathy of the public In their "misfortunes. LUTfflBEBGO SOUTH .
