SUNDAY MORNING FIRE QE iqwO STORES BURNED, OTHERS DAMAGED, One Stock Eatirely Destroyed, Others More or Less Injured—Cause of | Fire Unknown—Firemen and Citizens Work Bravely. Easter Sunday morning was not al- together as joyous a day to the citizens of Greenville as had beep anticipated. The day wag beautitul enough, but the ; | majority of our people moved avout :| with a fatigued, sleepy appearance, and those passing along main street during >| the day could not withhold their eyes ; {from the picture ot devastation before ) them. The cause of all this was a very serious fire with which they had been :| battling through the first hours of the Sabbath. I was about 2 o’clock Sunday morn- | ing when the town was aroused by the > | alarm and cries of fire. People rushed Oh | out of their homes and as they reached Qh | main street they encountered a dense smoke that was nearly stifling, Almost groping their, way through this they foun. the smoke issuiag from the tur- s|niture store of M. Owens, in the Rialto building. Attempts were made to ga OP lin the tront of the store and find the Op | fire, but bota rooms were so full! of smoke no one could stay inside. It & | could be seen, however, that fire was | $e | door and > | draught was thus made the flames went Op | almost like a flash through the entire ; | length ot the store. burning towards the rear of the- furni- | ture room and it was buta few mo- > | ments after the-arrival of the crowd before flames burst through the rear windows.

Of course as a! About midway the wall be-! the two Owens stores as it was impos— wible to get in either room. But when the flames reached the wall next to the store occupied by Zeno Muore & Bro. the firemen did some of the grandest work ever witnessed. They even im— pened their lives on the roof and behind the wall, but kept up the fight there for more than an hour, and prevented the fire from passing beyond the wall, though the roof jeined over it. The Bernard building just across the street from the fire and occupied by W.H. Smith, J. A. Smith and E. M. Cheek, were also damaged, most of the front windows being broken by the heat. It is impossible to tell what the ag— gregate ot the losses amount to, bur is thought to be somewhere between $10,- (00 and $12,000. M. Owens was the only merchant sustaining ja total loss, not a vestige being saved from Ins stores. He hada stock worth fully $5,000 or $6,000 with insurance about $3,000. The others who custained losses on stock E. H. Shelburn & Co., J. R. Corey, D. D, Haskett, J. S. Smith, M. R. Lang, Zeno Moore & Bro., W. C. Hues & Co., J. G. Rawls, Herbert Edmunds, J. L. .Sugg, Harding & Harding, Blcunt & Fleming, Dr. W. H. Bagwell, W. H. Smith, E, M. Cheek and J. A. Smith. Some of these occurred by the stores being flcoded with water and‘others by mov— ing out. A correct estimate of the damage to each cannot be given, but some were considerable while others i. | | were small. | The Rialto building was owned by | Eiliott Bros, ot Baltimore Two of the stores are a total loss and three others badly damaged. The building occupied the site that was burned in February of last year and was rebuilt last tall, being completed about the middle ot October. It was a beautiful building and every one regrets to see it in its present wrecked condition. The cause of the fire is a mystery and no solution can be given as to iis orl~ ein. Ths REFLECTOR wants word of praise to that expressed by the citizens tor the heroie work done by the firemen, But for them there is no tell- ing what condition the town would be to add a in today. ‘The citizens rendercd them all necessarry assistance by keeping plenty of men av the engine. Itshotid be suid also that the splendid work doae by the engine redeeried it from the disrepute it has lately borne.

It requires the gross income for 12 months next perceding the first day of June of the current year derived from property not already : taxed by the State and incomes . over $1,000 derived from salaries or fee, vr both, to be listed for taxation. 80 aneyenly is this law executed that itis but littie more ‘hana grinning farce on the statute books. For instance, in Gaston _ county only three persons return taxuble incomes. In Iredell eounty, one of the wealthiest in the Stale, with two or three Fed- _ eral officers, andperhaps as mauy county officers, who have incomes from salaries and fees exceeding $1,000, to say nothing of persons in private capacity earning hand- gome salaries, not a dollar of taxable incomes was retured in 1896. In Burke county, wiere officers of great State institutions receive comparatively handsome salaries, to say nothing again of federal, county, and corporation officers, not«adoilar of taxable incomes was returned in 1896. In Forsyth couaty, think of it, ouly $1,498 of taxable income were reported and the preachers per- haps reported that- Meckienbarg and Buncombe came up better with over $63,000; New Hanover is.a good leagth ahead with $102,000, while Wake leads with $116,000. But in more than 50 counties no incomes is repartee for taxation There is reprehensible derelic tion somewhere. We believe that in many cases men do not know! that they ure required to report their incomes. ‘The list-takers also fail often, perhaps, in their duty to examine diligently into sucl. matters, or else are not well- posted themselves. When the tax-listers fail, the responsibility falls naturally upon the county commissioners or State officers. If we may be allowed a suggestion ‘ta.the latter class, an inviting field for reform is opened up in this connection. The law skoald certainly be made more generally Operative or be repea‘ed.—Gas- tonia Gazette. seems Then You Said Something.

Scien” tific men and women of bigh standing are studying every phase |. of the eubject of suspended ani- mation and making the results of their investigation known to the people, says Tie St- Lonis Re- public. It appears from the expressions of those engaged in this laudable effort that there is only one sure and positive test of death, and thai is decomposition of the tissues of the flesh. All other teste, so it is claimed, prove nothing, and are, therefore, abso- lutely useless. Seyen or eig:t years ago Dr. Tanner (an investigator and ex- perimenter of highest rank, al- though known to people tn general only as “Tanner, the faster”) attempted to inaugurate a crusade in this country similar to that which is now on in Europe. He first made the matter a serious study, during the first four months of the year, 1879, and found that during those seventeen weeks there were not less than twenty- five cases in the United States of suspended animation. Tauner argued that the stoppage of heart pulsations and of the breath were of themselves no indication that actual deatn had taken place. He dec'ared that it was impossible to tell when persons were so consti- tuted asto be liable to fall into a trance aud remain in that state tor weeks or even mouths. One of the most remarkable stories related by the doctor was this : “T haye a case in my mind where the body of a young man was buried in a vault. After three years had elapsed it became necessary to remove the remains in orderto make sOme repairs. The body was found perfectly fresh and natural and not in the least decomposed. The physician who was called pronounced it & strange case and proceeded to investigate. He laid the body Out properly and made 2 slight incision with his scalpel. To the doctor’s surprise and to tke horror of those who had gathered around the suppused corpse—the body thoroughly resuscitated- than thirty years after his strange experience.” Hoodoced His Lawyer. rising to make a speech before a him and calling him aside forcad something into his pocket. The lawyer, thinking probably that it wasa roll of bills, smiled and |© wont on with his speech, making | > Such a powerful plea that his chent was acquitted easily. Then the tawyer gleefully felt in his pocket for the roli of bank notes, but when he pulled out a hind foot his wrath broke forth and the only thing that saved his client was fear of being finea for con- tempt of court. The negro was like most of his race, superstitious, and had hoo- dooed his attorney.—Fay atteville Observer. eee A Fraud.
