Anderson, HusJ A Com pany Burned Out Sunday ~ fißbraing Joacphus Wil liams Confessed Having Set Ftre to Building Loss About J15,000, Nearly Cov ered by Insurance. Last Sunday morning about 20 minutes past seven o'clock the alarm of fire wxs sounded and in a few minutes a large crowd had gathered at tbe store of Anderson. Hassell & Co.. to find it entirely enveloped in flames Tbe fine-fighter* of tbe town were soon at work try ing to keep , the fire from spreading, seeing that nothing cottld be done to save .the burnieg building. For an hour and a half it was a wild scene' men and boys, both black and white, were doing all they could to keep the fire Item spreading to York and Adam* meat market and the stables of Anderson Hassell & Co . and X. S. Feci & Co. in the rear of the burning building. Sev | eral times it looked as if no human f effort could keep the* buildings j ficm beipg consumed but tbe wind i changed and gave tbe fighters another chance which was taken advantage of and tbe fire was at - last under contra!. It was only by hard work and a plenty of it that tbe new building occupied by Harrison Bros. & Co , was saved, several times it was burning on the inside, the fire having gotten in through the cracks around tbe window shutters. If the shutters had not been covered with tin this store, too. would now I be in ashes. For some time it was a my stery how the fire originated. Grover ! Hardison. tbe clerk who roomed on tbe second floor of the building had only been gone from his room about three quarters of an hour when tbe alarm was given, and when seen and asked about tbe origin of the fire said he had no j idea of how it caught. He stated that he had gone over the entire building before leaving, and that • there was no fire there when be left .\rter tbe fire was practically out tbe crowd had dispersed, leav j ing only those that wx.c a reivu, interested.a valise was found in X. S. Pet! & Co's.. that, by its cost 'mark, was identified *s belonging to Anderson. Hassell & Co. , ami upon opening it it was found to contain boys shccs, pints, shirts, suspenders, neckties, pocket knives a razor.cologne, and other articles, wbxh had been taken from their 'store. About this time it wa* learned that Josepbus had been in town that morning and seen bv several people, one negro weman asked him if he was not afraid to leaf around town. {'.bis was before the iire broke oct) and his reply I ' was that there would be a fire in a a few minutes and the people would j have have all they could da to lock after that without chasing him. 11 i was dcci Jed at once that Joseph as I had robbed the store and then set j fire to it. A party of about thirty started I out to look for him but it was the I same as a ben be broke out of jail 1 last week, be could not be found. I He was hemmed in late that after noon by a crowd cf small boys and then some of them came to town for help. A large crowd was soon on the way to jjet Josephus. and he was finally caught by Mr. Walter Anderson, member of tbe fiini of Anderson, Hafsell & Co., who had , been burned out. He was turned over to the Sheriff who put him in ' jail to await a preliminary bearing Monday morning At the trial Joseph as confessed to tbe burring and told how he slept all night in the store intend ing to burn it during the night.but slept late. He said be knew wben Clerk Graver Hardison left his' sleeping room on the second floor ; and went out of the building before I six o'clock, and told that be horned j it immediately aftenvard. He gave ! no reason, but was bold ia his con- 1 fession :nd ar jcared ur.ct;:a!::id. The loss of the goods amounts to ten thousand dollars, insurance six thousand. The loss of the store amoonts to focr thousand dollars, insurance thirty - three hundred.
