High Wind Fanned Flames Xewbern, X. C., Dcc. 2.?Probable damage estimated at around $2,000,300, of employment for 500 persons, destruction of the homes of proximately .eighteen hundred and 3210 fatality was tho toll of the fire which swept through this town! yesterday, according to a cheek up today. Numbers cf persons suffered burns rnd injuries in attempts to save their belongings or to aid firemen of New:ern and nearby towns in fighting the lames, but none was believed to be serious hurt. A negress who"* neigh30rs said was 105 years* old, was forgotten in the cxcitement, it was resorted and left to perish in a little icase on Cedar street. With the approach of dawn today ;ho firemen, who had finally conquered the flames, had retired and their jlaces had been taken by three devils of battery D, 117th field nrtii ery. . The soldiers guarded the hunireds of piles of household goods lumped indiserimimtely around the ;o\\n after frantic holders had matched them from the flames, but hroughout the night and morning no eports came of even attempted vanialism among the 10,000 or more :nlabitants. There were numbers of persons in he ruined district, some seeking to ind remains of valuables, some merey walking around. Many had rcfus;d to go to bed in the homes, church's and buildirjgs proffered them, bu; tad stalked around or lain shivering in the ground near the devastated listrict. The church societies, Red Cro-s, Salvation army and other orr^niza-1 ions were busy providing food; Unitd Spates Senator Simmons of North Carolina obtained a * promise from* Jrigadier General Bowley of Fort Jregg, Fayetteville, last night that to would rush army cots, tents and tedding here and Mayor "Edward 'lark issued a call for mass meetings oday to take definite action toward elicving the sufferers. Most of those who lost their homes tnd household possessions were nerroes, probably 1,400 of these suff;rnig, since the flames started in the icgro section of West Newborn. A 1250,000 fire was raging at the time n the siwmiil of the Roper Lumber ornpany's plant across town and vinds of gale-like force were blowing :nd continued until sundown. A fire in-the kitchen of a negrD louse was said to have been the beginning cf the great fire end that in he saw mil! is believed to have been aused by friction from a belt. The blaze in the negro section gained such proportions that it-.swept a iath almost through the center of the own, destroying arcund 200 resiier.ces, two negro churches and three arge warehouses on the Neuse river tnd threatened the union station ar.d icarby structures, but in some way eaped across them. Railroad tracks vere so warped by the heat, however, hat train service through the town vas suspended. . Starting on Kilarmenic street, the >laze, despite the dynamiting cf the lousc-s and pulling thorn olt tneir oundations by a cable attached to a witch engine was driven eastward alnost on a straight line until it reachid George street. Along here it was >ounded on one side by Queen street md on the other by Court and Dunn treets. On the south side -of Cedar *rove cemetery, the fire swept along qr a block on New street as far as >eseent street, then leaped over the Jnion station, attacked the warelouses along the water front. tfOVE TO RETURN FARIE5 TO YORK JAIL FROM PEN York, Dec. 2.?William C. Faries. ecently convicted in York of murder >f Newton Taylor, thirteen-year-old >oy of Clover, may soon be returned rom the death house in Columbia to he York jail. Thos. F. McDow, chief lounse! for Faries, said today he vould probably make motion to have raries incarcerated here while a mo- i ion for a new trial is ' before the ! it ate supreme court. "I think it a shame," said Mr. Mc- 1 Dow, "that the poor old man should I emain in the death cell while his :ase is before the supreme court. I )elieve he would be much happier in fork jail where he would be nearer lis faithful children." Counsel said he was not yet in po- . ;ition to outline the grounds on which j ie would appeal to the supreme court i ror a new trial for Fane.3 who has i )een sentenced to electric chair on December 29. It is a positive fact i hat the convicted murderer will not; ;ay the extreme penalty that day. J Counsel recently expressed confidence j hat motion for a new trial would be j ranted. r ?u ijmmhuwJIWWWIJ- UMIP ?LEGISLATURE AUTHORIZES AND DIRECTS USE LOWER SQUARE Too Late to FeLition Highway Commission?They Have no Discretion if Conditions Are Met No. 334 An Act Relating to a Lot of Land in the Town of Newberry, Owned by the County of Newberry. j Section 1.
