Abbeville had a fire last week Which did not approach tbe proportions of tbe conflagration in Baltimore, but from which fire at home a. lesson might be learned. One of the water plugs of the hydrant on Via Kill *v> i ntnr) onmamkot Irk tha H I ro^Unn rtf (lUO UI11 yuiuicu ovmJcnuav IU tuv unvvkivu v? tbe burning bouse, while tbe other plug pointed In a different direction. On this last named hydrant tbe hose was attached. The Are company and bystanders thought the pressure .In tbe slandpipe was next to nothing. One man, who always told you so, Bald: "It la always the way; when we have a Are, we have very little water." Mayor McMillan was distressed at tbe unsatlBfaotory flow of water, and ordered an investigation Into tbe whys and wherefores. Tbe water pressure In- tbe standplpe was found to be satisfactory, and tbe unsolved mystery became more and more perplexing' Days after tbe flee tbe Mayor was still anxious about the matter, when a witness at the firefeave his explanation for tbe failure of tbe How. Tbe hose had been attached to tbe plug pointing away from the fire, and when tbe firemen, in tbe excitement of tbe incident, drew the bose tight across tbe face of tbe | plug it was so nearly closed that it was Impossible to have a full pressure at tbe nozzle. It may be if tbe bose is attached to tbe right plug, and tbe water has a fair chaDce to flow, thai we may have a more energetic stream on the next fire. Mob and Antl Blob. A few weeks ago some patriotic gentlemen in the town of Aiken undertook to reform the world and do away with lynching., Whether this movement was a source of encouragement to evil doers we are not Informed but it is certain that in a very little time after this demonstration,, a brute attacked a lady in that town. .Notwithstanding the presence of the goody goody little ooterle, enraged people immediately organized a mob for business and Btralgbtway set out to find the suitable subject for vengeance.
