Another Fire—lncendiarism An Fnsuc
cessful A Hemp t to Burn a How
of Buildings.
Sunday morning last, at 3 o’clock, the cry
of fire ! fire ! fire ! rang out upon the air,
and soon, many persons hearing the alarm,
hastened to the scene. The fire was on
Broad street, under a building at tin north
west corner of a range of one story build
ings. The first signal of the devouring
flame was the dense smoke that hung like a
pall along the street and over the adjacent
houses. A near approach revealed the fire
fiend securely planted in position beneath
the house occupied by Mrs. llothsehild, and
with rapid onset lifting its crest over the
walls. The expectation of the steamer Liz
zie Baker about that time caused several
citizens to be out at that hour and led to
the timely discovery of the fire before it had
gained much headway or reached' the mas
tery in its power. The cause and plan were
clearly revealed. It was no accident, no re-,
suit of carelessness, but the work of a fiend
in human shape. Shavings had been strewn
under the house, and saturated with kero
sene oil and then the torch applied. The
house was soon tilled with smite and the
flames seized the walls. It was with some
difficulty the children, some kalf-suflocated
by the smoke, were removed iu .safety. This
shows that some fiends are abroad in our city,
intent on plunder, and that their motto is 1
conflagration and plunder. To be ‘'fore
warned is to be forearmed,” b t our citizens
be watchful and vigilant against the thief j
that skulks iu darkness, that they may es- j
cape the destruction that wasteth as the 1
storm at midnight. In this last case the !
early discovery and prompt efforts soon
quelled and subdued the flames. In this
result the use of the pump on the street
near that locality was found to be a cove
nient and serviceable aid. Let us have more [
of these pumps at suitable .distances, for !
be it remembered that water is a valuable I
aid in arresting the march of fire. Be not
as the foolish virgins, who were waiting but i
not ready, but be ye found prepared, waiting 1
and reikly to act on an emergency.
Mrs *io .tlichild informs us that her stock
of goods are all damaged and can’t tell how
much she will lose by the fire.
fhe L:Ue Fife.
In giving an account. ;i our last issue, of
the origin of the lire we did Mr. and Mrs.
Mansfield a wrong in attributing the cause
of the tire to the careless use of kerosene
oil in the house occupied by Mr. Mansfield.
Wliat wo published was circulated and gen
erally believed, and furthermore, the item
was not published on mere rumor, but on
what was tiieu deemed reliable information.
On further inquiry we learn that the inform
ants were mistaken, and the report v, ilhout
any foundation in fact. Be regret the
wrong and take this, the first opportnfiTry,
to make the amend. In the; excitement and
confusion attendant on a fire, and the con
sequent leports and statements of supposed
fi.c.s, it is dif.i ult to sift out the true facts
from the mass of wind is; consul* rod relia
ble. An editor is ,;| c -tee and required to
furnish inb'.nuai i> n, ami in the contusion ot
such an occasion*, lie has little opportunity
to cross-examine witness! s to give inhuma
tion, timl the inform '.ats wli<> are liable to
misconstrue the true state of the case. In
•lie p’ist we h ere tried to he careful, in tile
future’we will be still more cautions, and
severely prune any statements that may be
banded in, even though thereby we publish
less than the whole facts.
Mr. Mansfield had so conducted himself
here as to place him and his family, not
on y above any suspicion of wrong, but also
of reprehensible carelessness, and nothing
less than information received couhl hive
induced ns' too nldisU any statement reflect
ing on them. Tie* 'acts arc, -hat il ' Mims
field was not near the stove at the time ol the
house taking fire, but down in the kitchen,
in the lower story, and the lire was commu
nicated to the house in an upper room,
through which the stove pipe passed. No
kcrose wis used in kindling the fire in the
stove, but the fire had beep burning long
enough to heat the stove pipe, and by its
proximity to the floor of an upper room and
some defect ill the pipy, lire was commuica
ted to the floor and partition and rapidly
enveloped the whole building
The best constructed engines, in charge
of the most skillful engineer will, with all
precaution, sometimes explode, and fire in a
store, though under the supervision of the
careful, will sometimes cause disastrous
conflagrations. Evils and misfortunes at
tend our human affairs and no prudence
and caution can always shield us from harm.
A Fire Company.
The repeated fires, of late, in this our
busy, thriving city, admonish us to he duly
prepared for any emergency of ihat kind.
It would he well for us to have an efficient
fire company. In the im n time without
delay at once let a hook and ladder compa
ny he organized. A well organized and
drilled company would he a reliable force,
around which the crowd might rally in an
emergency and the efforts to arrest files he
directed by system and method. This
wound tend to insure safety and to dimin
ish the rate of fire insurance, by diminish
ing the hazard and risk of such policies.
Safety, the public welfare and the pecuniary
interest of individuals are involved. Let us
have an efficient organization against fire at
once; delay not.
If our citizens had taken *he light steps
after the first fire thousands of dollars could
have been saved. We will keep this subject
before our citizens until something is done
T e are pleased to learn that the Rev.
Robert M. Lockwood has been sent hack to

Editor Gazette:
There are persons in this world who are
born with an innate desire to do as th y
please, anil whenever any law or set of laws
inaugurated for the good of society conflict
in any manner with or ijpero* * this desire
these .individuals at oe.ee bee; me disgrun
tled nud feel that a blow is struck at their
liberty, or that their rights are infringed
upon. Bud), I doubt not. sir, are the ohur
-acters of those to whom you refer in your
paragraph last issue, i. e., the parties com
plaining of the Board of Commissioners, de
siring the abolition of the same or the resig
nation of some of the members; hence the
complaints. Such sentiments and feelings
as are manifested by these complaints must
be very discouraging to men, who, without
pay or hope .of re ward, have taken such an
iiitiiest in county affairs and who have been
so diligent and untiring in their efforts to
establish a system of government in our
town that would meet the great demand and
give satisfaction to all concerned as have
the gentlemen composing this board. 1 had
thought that long ere tins every citiz n had
recognized in this Loud the pow r which
had rcsenc*d otir county from tm.li-kw and
ruin, and in. m writ ir . • o-day look ;• -r pro
tectiou of life, limb um prosperity. 1 f tin \
have not let them bear with me ! *r ,i mo
ment mid go back to the year preceding the
creation of the board and the year snbse-"
quent, or until they became thoroughly or
ganized. We find at that time the greater
portion of our citizens in a lawless and al
most savage condition, defying all authority
and given to riot and disorder. Things had
begun to nssuluc a terrible aspect; ever} day,
yea every hour some demonstration was
made which promised soon to end in blood
shed and massacre. Persons tell, and with
well grounded fears, that their lives were
unsafe m tiio community. Our condition
had become widely known; capital was
driven or kept away; in consequence, our
town was on the downward read.
At this juncture, the board was organised,
a proper police force inaugurated by them
and offenders were rigidly dealt with, and
now note the result; everything js quiet, law
reigns supreme, our county in a prosperous
condition and crime almost, if not entirely,
eradicated. Now let the dissenter ask what
has produced the change and upon reflec
tion he will answer himself—mi efficient
Board of Commissioners.
Again, at the time of their organ'nation
our county was heavily iu debt for loans, ne
gotiated by ioriper authority for tlm build
ing of court house, jail, etc. Under their
administration these debts have been nearly
all liquidated and cancelled. No unneces
sary and.heavy expenditures have Lem made
by them, and at present wo find our county
free from onerous and unjust taxation.
What more.can we expect? Therefore, let
us all, men and women, with one accord
render to this efficient board the praise due
ti cm. ami henceforth rathe' than complain,
h t us be found exhibiting, always, that s, li
saerilieing devotion characteristic of the
good and grateful citiz* m . ...
In conclusion I v. -nM add '! -t as the
lime for which some of the present members
of the board wore appointed will soou ex
pire, it would be well for the grand.jury, at
its next session, to recommend their reap
pointment. This would be some recognition
of the valuable services rendered by .these
gentlemen, aml would have a tendency to
encourage, and stimulate them to go on with
the good work which tlu-y have so faithfully
begum County.
