OF THE TOWN IN ASHES. by the Flames—Loss Estimated About $150,000—Caused by a Lamp —A Sad Disaster for our Town. The business of Greenville was closed about the usual time Saturday night, and our citizens retired to their respective homes to enjoy a well-earned rest from their week’s labors, and pre- pare for the peace and quiet of the Sab- bath, never once dreaming of the great disaster that should befall our beauti- ful, happy town ere the “day of all the the week the best” should dawn. Scarce had the old week passed and the new fairly begun ere that dread alarm, the cry of fire, awoke the people from their peaceful slumbers and hurried them forth to behold the most disastrous conflagration that has ever visited the town. As fast as they arrived upon the where the ftre had gained a foot-hold, there were many scene and saw to shake their heads in despair and exclaim Greenville is doomed! And se it seemed, and while the result proved not so feaiful as was for some- time apprehended, yet the flames could not be subdued before two blocks oy the principal street haa been swept clean with the exception of a double building on each side. Ten two-story brick stores with the Opera House, four one-story: brick stores and eleven frame buildings made fuel for the greedy flames. | THE CAUSE. The fire originated in the barber shop ot Herbert Edmunds next to the corner in the Opera House block. Julius Fleming, one of the barbers and the brush boy were preparing to close up and leave the shop about one o'clock. As they went to put outon: of the large brass lamps it fell, scattering burn- ing oil over the floor. They threw the lamp in the street, smothered out thie flames on the floor, and thinking every- hing was safe went onhome, Passing down the street they met night Police- man Muiphy, told him what had hap- pened and asked him to notice the shop as he passed by on his rounds. The first time the officer passed he saw nothing wrong, but going by again about a quarter to two o'clock h~ 10- ticed the room full of smoke, and be- fore he could give.an alarm flames had burst through the front of the shop. It is supposed that some of the burning oil went through the cracks of the floor without being extinguished, or that the stove caused the oil on the floor to ig- nite—the former most likely. ON A MISISON OF DESTRUCTION.. | From barber shop thé fire spread rap- | idly in three directions. Back throngh the wooden partition to the law offices o° L. I. Moore and Jarvis & Blow in the same division of the building, then out the rear window’to the frame build- ling containing the offices of Blount & Fleming and Dr. W.-H. Bagwell. Up the flames went into the Opera House trom which they. were quickly commu- nicated to the store of H.B. Clark next door QOut’at the front the row of wood buildings on the Bernar| proper. ty across the street fell an easy prey. The wind was blowing from the south- west and the fire"Went no farther up jin-the other diseetion it swept to and estroyed thé law building ovenpied . by Oe i 4 bar room were only saved by strenuous wurk. Had these buildings been lost the fire would have gone at least one or two blocks each way on Cotanch street HEART-SICKENING. ' Down Evans street on either side the raging flames continued their mad flight, licking up .two blocks of splendid brick buildings. It was enough to make the heart sick to see the walls of these handsome build- ings one after another totter and fall a mass of ruins. It looked now like the whole of the street would be cleaned and not a business house left. Busy work- ers hurried with turns of goods until the streets and lots for squares away were covered with conglomerated stocks of merchandise. BUILDING TORN DOWN. As the fire came on down the street it was concluded that if the old Dancy frame building on the corner could be torn down it would prevent the fire from crossing Fourth street, and get- ting this building out of the way would also save the double store of J. B. Cher- ry & Co., which it faced, as it was not thought their store would catch from the Tyson brick block then burning Several kegs of powder were exploded about the Dancy building only demol- ishing a small part of the stracture, when workmen set to with axes and ropes and literally cut and tore away the lower part of the house, letting the upper story of the wing on the street come down with a crash. HERGIC WORK. Fortunately the fire never reached this building at all, but was checked at the Brown & Hooker building next to it. And stopping it there was as daring and herioc work as we ever saw done. §. T. Hooker, Chiet of the Fire Department, marshalled a few brave men to his assistance and they stood on top of the building in a face of blister- ing heat and flames, and with another squad of workers on they inside, the tought mantuily until the adjoining building, only separated by a single brick wall, had burned beyond the It is known that Mr. Hooker is the best manager and work- danger line. er at a fire the town has, and his own property being in jeopardy seemed to nerve him for more sternuous efforts than ever, and after a gallant fight his building was saved. COURT HOUSE NARROWLY ESCAPES. While the fire was burning fiercest sparks rained thick and fast on roofs of buildings beyond the public square, and they had to be constantly watched to prevent the fire breaking out in ~SACRIH SALE. ~~ <= 4G tom * The fire tore me alltopieces and I will, in a few days, throwmy entire stock on the mar- (0) ket Below Cost These goods must eo and I will make this great sacrifice to clean them out.

Several men rushed up the flight of stairs and made their way out to the roof of that building. With ropes « ladder was drawn over the tall eaves and \braced against the steeple. Quick as a flash Bob Moye sealed the ladder to the top and tound he was still some feet from the blaze. Two men followed him up the ladder and these held Bob out at arms length above their h.ads until he could put out the fire and save the buildin. It wasa_ noble und hazardous piece of work.

Mr. W. B. Surls stripped himself of his pants and shoes, and taking a small boat, went over and succeeded in getting to his brother’s house, who had just recived the telegram sent Wednesday, which could not be deliy ered sooner on account of high water. Arrangements were made and triends, in vehicles, went baek to, the river which had swollen some ten feet since Mr. Surls. had crossed. ‘They could only get the re. mains across, aud this was done only by lashing two small boats together. Mrs- W. I. Surls.and her friends had to ré- main on this side, being unable to get over und witness the buria:. This was not all. The procession on the way from Dunn to the river encountered a ey- clone which was very destructive im un- roofing houses, blowing others. down and uprooting trees. It came along near the head of the «procession. A tree was blown across the lkearse. A boy was badly searred and bruised up, a horse was severely injured and the hearse was broken to pieces: For- and the corpse was not interfered with. Those who went over finally reached the burying ground and had the inter- ment about 3 o’clock Friday afternoon. Mr. W. B.
