When completed, Mr. Fliut’s new
furniture establishment will be one of
Ihe neatest buildiugs ou Newcastle
street. The work is being woll done.
Oui policemen were kept busy on
the ui ji niug of the fire. Between free
whiskey and the inordinate desire of
some lulus to pilfer, arrests wore nu
merous.
Sc-., card of Harris k Smith, attor
neys i t law, in this issue. Whilst the
combination is a new one, the names
are familiar to our people. We com
mon ' the n.-w firm to your patronage.
The entertainment by Ronde, the
humorist, did not eoino off on Wed-
uesduv night last, as billed, owing to
the inclemency of the weather. He
promises to be back in about two
weeks.
Pinafore will grace our boards ou
tbo 1st and 2d of February. Reserved
Boats are already spoken for. The
now "stars'’ that have been added are
par Ju•reliance, nud the public may well
expect a fine rendition.
Hurrah for tIre ".Seasidei.!" But
for them onr whole town might have
been in ashes instead of only one
block. Our colored tirumuu certainly
did yeomau service and deserve the
Ihanki of the whole community
Scarcely had our firemen gotten
over the fatignp of the big fire yester
day morning before the lu ll began to
ling again, ilml tbu “Seasides” were
soon s -on hurrying for the scene. The
fire, however, was extinguished before
thin reached it, and only resulted in
burning up some clothing, etc., in the
house of Toney Swectwiny. The ori
gin of the fire is a mystery.
The Park Association having signi-
' lied their readiuess to begiu work
ou Hanover square, the City Fathers
Lave ordered the City Hall removed
at once to the vicinity of the Court
House. Wo trust ere long to see
this naturally beautiful spot so im
proved ns to be au oruameut to our
growing little city.
On Thursday night, as Messrs.
Scruggs and others wero out opossum
huutmg on the “point" a huge rattle
snake bit his favorite dog Frank, from
the effects of which he died. The
party went yesterday morning to the
tame place, and unearthed and killed
the monster, which measured nearly
s.xitvi and bud ihirteen rattles and
11.' -i- til button

We have had another conflagration,
Mi* time sweeping the entire Uqgk
occupied by Messrs. Michelson A
Bro., H. L. Harris, E. Eanl and J.
Lissner. The fire was discovered by
policeman Moore between three and
four o'clock yesterday morning, and
the alarm soanded. Afterdome delay
the Oceanics took position at tbe np-
por tank on Newcastle street, and,
having- steamed np, undertook to
throw a stream on the banting build
ings, bat, for some reason unknown
to the writer, no stream came, and
the buildings continued to barn. We
have beard a score of reasous assigned
fyitff the matter is to undergo inves
tigation we forbear giving any of
them. There is evidently something
wrong somCVvbere, and unless a reme
dy be found we might ns well have it
understood that we have no steam
firq engine. This is too important a
matter to mince. Let the powers
that be get at the bottom facts aud
bring them out. This is tbe second
time since wo have bad a steamer
that the expectations of the people,
whose money has been invested in
said machine, have been disappointed.
Engine No. 2, the old reliable, now
in the bands of oar colored firemen,
took position ns soon ns possible on
Drury’s wharf, and, although unable
to extinguish the flames, did valiant
aarvicA in confining the fire to the
burning block. They worked man
fully.
Below- we give an estimate of the
losses in round numbers, which ureas
follows: J. Michelson A Bro., two
stores and Htock, $25,000; A. G. Os
good, store, $2,500; H. L. Harris,
stock, $4,000; J. Lissner, store and
stock, $6,600; E. Kaul, $6,000; J. M.
Dexter, C. P. Goodyear and W. E.
Kay, offico furniture, books, etc., about
$1,000; total, $44,000. Of this amount
Messrs. Miohulsun & Bro. had $13,000
insurance on buildings and stock, A.
G. Osgood $1,000 on building, H. L.
Harris $1,000 on stock, E. Kaul $3,-
000 on stock, J. Lissner $1,000 on
building, Messrs. Doxtor and oth
ers probably $500, in all about $19,-
500. Of these figures $7,500 w as in
companies represented by Mr. J. M.
Dexter, viz: Fire Assurance of Phila
delphia, -Manhattan, Columbus, of
Mississippi, and Watertown, .-f Now
York; $8,750 in e.niip- tires repi •■si utc.l
by Mr. T. O’Connor, Jr., viz: Under
writers, Liverpool and Li-n.imi and
Globe, and British American, and the
remainder by the London Assurance,
C. H. Champion, of Savannah, agent.
Of the goods embraced in t no above
schedule of figures we would say that
Michelson A Bro. hud saved a largo
portion of their grocery stock and
part of their dry goods; J. Lissner
nbont Imlf of his, and Messrs. Harris
and Kaul nothing at all—in fact Mr.
Harris barely escaped with bis life.—•
The fire having originated, as well as
cau*he judged, between his store aud
the dry goods store of Messrs. Mi-
chelsou tk Bro., aud being a sound
sleeper, could not be aroused until
suffocated by the smoke.
From the lateness of tbe hour aud
tbo position of the firo when discov
ered, the presumption is that it must
have been the work of an incendiary,
whether for gaiu or revenge we are
unable to say.
Thittl Caught.
On Wednesday night last, a col
ored fellow named Brown Falk stole
a horse from McKinnon Bros., of Tar-
boro, nud made way for Brunswick,
reaching here Thursday noon. He
was pursued by Mr. D. B. McKinuou
aud traced to this place. Yesterday
morning Falk pot in his appearance

As soon as rented, or at next meeting,
call upon stock abd erect another.—
As demand for houses increases, bor
row money on land and improve
ments, and continue building duMT-
ings on lauds of company as fast as
the demand warrants.
Such a company will advance the
valne of its own property by every
improvement erected; will be able to
borrow money onitp aggregate prop
erty which cannot bo borrowed bn (t
in hands of individuals; Will secure a
handsome income over nud above all
repnirs, taxes aud insurance of from
ten to fifteen per qent-upou every
dwelling house erected,' 'hud can bor
row money at eight per cent interest.
A company confining its operations
to the sections of the city named
would insure their continuous aud
healthy growth, and would also stim
ulate improvement of property by
large laud owuers in other sections
of the city.
That this proposition is feasible,
that the demand for houses warrants
it and insures its business success,
that it will add to the value of the
company’s property and of all other
property in these sections, that it will
obviate n danger of removal of growth
from these to other sections of the
city and inure to the benefit, of every
resident of these sections and every
land owner, and also stimulate growth
in other sections of tbe city, nud that
it will pay baudBome dividends to
stockholders, no one who -ill study
tbo matter can doubt.
