BUSY SCEflE AT FREIGHT DEPOT ANNOUNCEMENT THAT .WHIS- KJEY WOULD BE SENT BACK CAUSED ACTION. ' i Next - Tuesday the., much discussed (also cussed) .search and seizure . law goes into effect and persons having more than a specified amount of spiritus frumentl in their possession wil" be in danger of arrest for' violating the Jaw. A few days ago the Norfolk Southern Railway Company let it be known thatj on tomorrow they would ship back to the consignor all the whiskey which remained in the Trent river warehouse that' time; . A person visiting the warehouse i and inspecting, the , supply of whiskey anefbeer earlier in the week would have at onec cpme to the con clusion that it was a depository for all the intoxicants in this section' of the State. But a different condition now exists. Yesterday wagons, buggies, wheel barrows- and every other conceivable vehicle, was lined up at the warehouse doors for the purpose of taking on boxes of whiskey and barrels of beer, and the greater part of the stock on hand was disposed of during the day and but a small proportion of that which was on hand a few days before is now to be seen. The search and seizure law was heavy blow to the railroads in this State. Formerly much whiskey and beer was shipped by freight, exspecially where large . quantities of it were or dered. Now the qUarftity is limited and the majority of this will be shipped by express. R.'M. Tingle of Alliance was among the arrivals in the city yesterday.

WM Norfolk, Va:, March 20.-Fireet an " :"'-:'-:, early hour this morning damaged the plant of the Ledger-Dispatch , o a ' extent of $50,000 or $60,000 and "prac- : tkally ruined the mechanical equip' ment, of that paper. f?r( i , Starting supposedly from defective' electric wiring in the mechanical de- , part ment in the rear of the lower " floor about 12:30 o'clock the fire soon swept through the two-story structure - used for the mechanical department, news and editorial rooms. The busi ness office in the three-story building N adjoining was not damaged." The fire did not net into the offices in the Monticello Arcade building on the west. Just how much the damage amount ed to S. L. Slover, business manager of the afternoon paper, could not say as he did not know to what extent the linotype machines and press were damaged. :- . At 3 o'clock this morning when the fire was out it was feared the negro -w- watchman on duty there had perished in the building. He could not be found in the ruins. He was not seen i ; after the' fire started. The mechancial equipemnt of the ' company was Valued at $75,000 or $80,000 by Mr. Slover with insurance covering nearly all of it. The fire started in the frame build ing to the rear of the one fronting on Plume street and soon spread to the upper floor of the structure on that " thoroughfare. The first alarm was i turned in at 12:29 this morning and v the second followed five minutes later. 1 '; Four companies, Nos. 1,5, 3, and 2- responded. - : Chemicals were used at first but found powerless to check the spread -- ' : : of flames to the tinder like partitions and floors of the front building. Lines of hose were stretched from both City i Hall avenue and Plume street and an r hour, after the fire started it was out. . The building was owned by the Led- .-fi ger-Dispatch ' Company, but was on ground leased from the Dodge estate. The building was constructed in 1906, following the consolidation of the Public-Ledger and the Dispatch.
