On Gift Bond of Face Value $511,
000. It is Said That Bond
holders Who Made The
Gift Have f 12.000,
000 of Them.
. Raleieh, Jan. 14. A telegraphic dis
patch from Providence, K. I. brought
the newt this morning that Governor
Pathier had sent to the senate notice
that 'he Statadf"Ehoda Island had r -ceived
a a gift a bond ot the State of
North Carolina, of face value $185,000;
with coupons attached bringing face
value to $511,000. Bonds, are issues of
1869, which the State has repudiated.
The Rhode Island legislature passed -a
bill last' spring authorizing the State to
accept free gifts and the governor ac
cepted the bonds accordance with this
act. It is said that bondholders who
made the gift have $12,000,000 of them
It was said in Providence that G iver
Pathier had already notifle I the G Per
nor of North Carolina of his intentions
to sue. Governor Kitchin told a nat
ional news service reporter to day that
this was not trite and the first he knev
of the contemplated suit was that given
him by reporter. State Treasurer
Lacy, however, received a telegram
from the Providence Journal last night
ask it g if North Carolina had paid bonds
given to South Dakota. South DaKota
bonds were paid, but paymentof Rnode
Iiland bonds are prohibited by constitution.

DESTRUCTIVE
FIRE VISITS CITY
WMaM
Nine Dwellings Consumed by The
Flames. Loss Will Aggregate
$4,000.
Early yesterday morning Are wasdis"
covered in a house on White street be
longing to Miss Mary L Bryan and occu
pied by a colored family. The alarm
was immediately turned in from box 35
and both fire companies were soon on
the scene.
The occupants of the house were all
asleep when the fire was discovered,
and it was only by the prompt fore
thought of some of their neighbors,
who tore down the front door that the
occupants escaped with their lives.
Although the firemen did everything
in their power to prevent the fire from
gaining headway, they were hindered
in their efforts by distance from a hy
drant, and the dwelling just in the rear
the property belonging to the late
Whitly, colored, soon ignited.
A second alarm was sent in and the
engine called out to assist the firemen
in their efforts, but before its arrival
the flames had got beyond their control,
and their efforts toward saving the ad
joining buildings proved to no avail.
The firemen worked heroically for
several hours, before the flames were ex
tinguished nine buildings, valued at
about t4.000, with practically no insur
ance On either the dwellings or furnish
ings that had been burned to the ground.
Together with the wailing of those
who, in a few moments had lost all their
earthly possessions, many of whom
were clad only in their night clothes,
and the clanging of bells the scene was
one not to be soon forgotten. One old
cilortd woman, presumedly about CO
years old was brought out of one of the
buildings in an 'half suffocated condi
tion, and upon reviving attempted to
rush back into the burning building to
save her valuables, but was fortunately '
resi rained from doing so.
Taken as a whole, the fire wan one of
the worst that has occurred in this city j
in some lime, ana dui ior me prompt
and efficient Wrk of the fire companiee,
the loss would have doubtless been
much greater.
