On u Visit to Arkansas.
Ex-Treasurer J E Blackmon
aiul family left Wednesday afternoon
for Junction, Ark., for a
protracted visit to the parents and
'relatives of Mrs Blackmon. They
had intended leaving the day before,
had their bagguge taken to
the depot hut Mr Blackmon not
completing his annual settlement
with the Comptroller General in
time was compelled to defer starting
until the following day. His
trunks and baggage were not j
mi ved from the depot for the !
night, the baggage man taking j
them in charge and assuring him
it would be perfectly safe. That
night the tire occurred, the trunks i
and baggage was burned, and Mr
B., had to purchase clothing, etc., ;
for himself and family the follow- 1
ing day before leaving. It was a
heavy Iciss for him.
J t
Tribute to The I>o?ul Soldiers
Memorial day* was olisorvcd1
here in the usual way. Veterans,
citizens and school children assembled
at the court house Tuesday
afternoon at t> p. m. where the
procession was formed in the us- 1
mil order, the veterans coming
tirst, and marched to the cemetery
by the Marshal, Capt It .1 Witherspoon.
The exercises began ;
with prayer by Rev Chalmers
Frazer, followed with the song
"America,'' by the children. '
Then came the roll call, followed
by another song by the children. !
The marshal then introduced Rev
W C Kwart, the orator, who i
made a most excellent address. I
Mrs ,J II Boldridge then sang an
appropriate solo, and while flow- '
ers were being strewn on the
soldiers graves the. choir sang
"Tenting tonight." The occasion
awakened sad memories in
the breasts of ninny, but it was a i
pleasure to pay this loving tribute !
to the dead of "The Lost Cause." :
May the custom ever be kept up '
in old Lancaster.

Ware house Burned.
The Lancaster & Chester Railroad
Company has sustained another
heavy loss by fire. A fewweeks
n^o its river bridgo was
O O
burned occasioning a heavy loss.
Last Wednesday morning about
2:30 o'clock its depots, both pas
senior and freight, its cotton
platforms and guano sheds, to- *
gether with a quantity of freight
and baggage and 125 bales of;
cotton was totally destroyed by j
fire. The depots, platforms and I
sheds were worth probably $2,500 ~~
or $3,000. This loss is partialiscovered
bv insurance. The contents
of the depot, sheds and
platforms amouted to about $10,000,
and wore a total loss. The
company carried a floating policy
:>n those in The Royal lnsurunee
Company of England.
A box cur and flat car of the
S C AL (i extension on the side
track at the L & C depot were
burned. The engine and a numl?er
of cars of the L & C on the
main track would have burned *s
hut thev were pushed down the
track before the tire reached them. 2
Knight <Ac Mackorell's ware- 4
house, about 00 feet North of :?
the depot, and its contents, consisting
of two car loads of meal,
doors, sash, blinds, meat, lard,
etc., was also destroyed Their
loss on building and contents
imounted to $i>00. with $500. li
[>f insurance. B N Craig of Rock, y
dsn lost about $1,000 worth of
heavy groceries which were stored ^
in this warehouse. lie hud $000
r>f insurance. j ll
.1 [j Browing, a Baltimore
clothing drummer, lost six sain-1
pie trunks and contents, valued at *
$1,100. Mr. Brittuin, a hat j "
drummer also lost his samples
valued at $300.
Ex-Treasurer .1 K Blaekmon
lost several trunks and contents,
valued at $114.70. w
W Ganson. Heath, Springs & I 1
Co., and Funderburk Co., were
the heaviest losers among the ^
merchants of goods in the depot,
but their losses are covered by
the Railroad Co's. insurance. T
As to the origin of the tire, 1
some think it was incendiary,
some think it resulted from a
match in the cotton, while a few
think it might have been occasion
t?d by a fepnrk from the engine
which came in about 10 o'clock
that night.
The L C will rebuild its de
pots, sheds and platforms at once.
The cotton platform, however,
will ho separated from the depots
ind will be on the North side of
!he side track leading to the () li
.V. C depot.
