' College street still presents a terrible scene. The only change in tne situa tion from, Thursday night is that the wires have been taken out df the street, new poles erected in one or two places, and new wires run The telephone com pany had 40 : wires cut. All Of the fire alarm wires, were down. 'Various line men were at: work yesterday putting up new wires in place of the old ones. The wreck of. the rear portion of the stores facing on Trade street is ' best seen from the interior of the stores. The rear end of Sloan's cotton office. Link's grocery store, Hoover's No. 2 establishment. Fields,' and Duncan's grocery stores are complete ruins. In them the warehouse wall fell. The business of yesterday with these mer chants was clearing away, as best they could, the wreckage and debris, and getting at some idea of the damage by fire and water to their property. Quantities of goods lie buried under the ruins. Link succeeded in getting his goods out pretty well. He stored them in the Davidson building on Trade street. He opened his store as usual yesterday, but the principal business of the day was in getting straightned np. Hoover No. 3 removed what he could from the debris, put up plank partition and began business again. Sloan secured the vacant store room in the Central Hotel building, next to the Charlotte Hardware Company, and moved his office effects there. The desks, books, etc., were found intact. Fields suffered the most damage, ills entire stock is more or less damaged by fire and water. He was unable yester day to do anything. He had a force of men at work in the debris, but maae little progress. He closed his doors yesterday, and they will remain closed Hintil the insurance men get through with him. Duncan fared almost as bad as Fields. He was less damaged by water, apparently. Yesterday was spent in digging goods out of the de bris and moving them to JNo. 43. JNortn College street, where they will be tem porarily stored. . M. Hoover, who moved his entire stock, had it all back in place yester-- day by noon, and had resumed the even tenor of his business way. He cannot tell his loss by stealage.

It went down with the building. Yesterday afternoon Mr. J. P. Carr undertook to fish it out of the ruins. It was a dan gerous job as the men had to work un der the tall rear wall left standing. Mr. Carr told them it was a dangerous job, but they were willing to undertake it, but after working several hours gave up the job. Howell, Orr & Co. threw their safe out of the rear window. It was a large, handsome safe. It fell with the combi nation down. It was not hurt, except scorched. Yesterday morning it was turned over, the combination opened, and everything found intact. REBUILDING. Charlotte never retrogrades, so it is naturally inferred that the owners of the burned property will, as soon as the Sr. zzm rSssss "fS THE RfiSlfLT Of THURSDAY'S FIRE LOOKING 'mists have rolled away," prepare to re-build. Just such a structure as the warehouse, may not be built, but stores that will be but little less ornamental to the street. Tessier Bros, and the broom factory moved yesterday to their new building on the corner of College and Third streets. Webster & Dowd will likely take the store vacated by Tessier Bros, and the broom factory. "A BTBABtOB BTOHY. " A number of years ago Messrs. Bur well & Springs bought the old Rock. Island Factory building, put new floors in it and repaired it generally. When the work was finished, Mr. Burwell (the late Ed. S. Burwell), asked; "Shall we in sure itl'T-Mr. Springs replied that it had stood there for 25 or 40 years, and nothing liad ever happened to it, and said: ".Suppose we don't?" They didn't, and in a month it was burned. About two years ago there was a fire in Statesville, and among the property de stroyed was a store the property of Mr. Springs. It was the only .property which he bad that was not insured. Three tips and out: The College street store, which he lost in the flre, of Thursday was the only property on which he had no- insurance. Mr. Springs has, perhaps, paid $35,000 In surance in his life, and yet every time fire has gotten a piece of his property. it happened that it was the only piece he had which was uninsured.

The afternoon of the fire, Messrs.- Warren Roark and Chas. Wads worth had gone out to Wadsworth's faTm to fish a little. While sittine on the bank of the stream, Mr. Jim Wadsworth dashed up on horseback and told "Charlie" that the town was burning up, and that their stable was on fire. The fishermen dropped tackle, bait, guns and all, jumped in the bugjry and came to town so quick that Warren Roark says he lost his breath and hasn't found it yet. He says Tarn O Shanter wasn't in it. Several people tried -to stop the horse, thinking it was running away. , ' 1 1 111 Nethias New.
