Warehouse Burned.
Between 7 and 8 o’clock Wednes
day morning the cottou warehouse
on Jernighau street in Perry oper
ated by Mr. R. L. Marchman was
destroyed py fire.
The warehouse contained about
150 bales of cotton, 900 bushels of
peas, about a dozen buggies and
wagons, several hay rakes and a
lot of wheat bran.
The wagons and buggies, several
bales of cotton, and about two
wagon loads of peas were saved—
all the balance burned.
The total loss, including the
building, amounted to at least
$10,000.
The fire was first discovered by
Mr. Russell Edwards when he
opened the front door at about 7
o’clock. The fire originated in
the rear of the building, opposite
the front door.
The building was of wood fram
ing, covered on the sides with cor
rugated iron and on top with tin.
Within a short while the entire
interior was ablaze, and further
effort to save any of the contents
was impossible.
Persistent effort prevented the
Btables and shelters belonging to
the Wells House from catching,
though one - small house almost
against the warehouse was burned.
Only the cotton was insured.
About half the cottou belonged
to C. F, & 0. D. Cooper, and the
other to several persons whose
names we did not obtain.
The house was owned jointly by
several business men of Perry"
The Houston Banking Company.
