K Benediction.
Ond bless you whan the light of dawr
smiles in your waking eyea,
Artl may he flood your spirit with
light from paradise.
G??d guard your footsteds tenderly,
Safe from the cruel th >rn,
And soothe you brow wi '.tlegrao
Lest it grow pale an n,
Ail through the day, c y he blee
Your work, your mind, your heart
And keep you close, close, to h;:nse)1
Of his own self a-part!
God bless you when the evening tint
With rosy gold tire west
And give unto you weary soul
The balm of perfect rest.
Then may he shield you through th<
gloom
Safe from the shade of ill,
dust as he shields each living thing
On land and ocean still,
And when his angel's last, low call
Sounds from the realm above,
Oh m)iv tip trivp vnn tiinimia whitp
,To soar unto his love!
Columbia's Big Fire
ilotel Jeromo to Be Rebuilt am
Hank to Put lip Its New Huild
ing at Once.
Although Columbia's greates
lire since the war occurred ovei
'J 1 hours ago, it seeins well higl
j.npossible to ascertain the exacl
losses and the insurance on th<
buildings and stocks in the burn
ed dislrict. Yesterday repeated
il'orts were made but withoul
success. Everything still ap
peared to be in a state of chaos
and it was a difficult task to fine
, .... -t w.o 1/ ?
iMvvicnvvu pai tioo. l'iiiuu^u wa:
ascertained, however, to show
i tint the fire was what the insur
ance men commonly call a $150,
000.
So far as the Hotel Jeronu
property is concerned, Mrs. Fa
gan, who owned the bulk of it
while of course still very mud
unnerved, has made up her mint
to remain in Columbia and t<
build another hotel at the earlies
possible moment. She has wirec
lor her brother to come here
but he has not yet arrived, as h<
; in New Xork. She stated yes
lerday that while her loss woult
be a very heavy one, running
into the thousands, the insurance
amounting to but little over $ 17,
(<00, she would build again ant
would put up a much finer hote
than the one burned. Some o
Iu*r frinds think that 6he can bt
urged to erect a fine six or sever
s'ory building equipped with cle
vators. The stand is one of the
best in the city for that purpose
It is not far troin the State capi
'ol, and is the first that is reach
ed by a person coming from the
Union depot. Besides the house
lias an established reputation.
While the Fagans are the
heaviest losers, perhaps, by the
lire, Mr. J. M. VanMetrehae beei
hit hard." It is impossible as
yet to tell what Mr. VanMetre'i
losses are. He had been unwel
several days preceding the fire
on that occasion he first got over
heated, then he got a colli bat!
Iron* the hose, and yesterday h<
was quite sick, no one being per
mitted to see him at his residence
Ail his papers were lockod up ir
bis safe, which is now at the hot
mm of the smouldering ruins
with its top "bulging." His build
ings were probably worth $14,
(.00, and his stock is variously
estimated ai between $20,000 am
.*45,000; >t is certain that he car
1 ie?l one of the heaviest stocks it
J he city. As nearly as can b?
ascertained he was insured foi
only about one fourth.
The burned district measures
4 JO feet on the Lady street side
. nd on Main and Assembly streeti
107 feet, being a little more thai
.? third of a block. Of this last
measurement the Hotel Jeroixu
occupied 63 feet. It is a note
worthy fact that the Hotel
.Kromo property was payinj
t xes to the city at a valuation o
about $60,000. The rest ot tin
property in the burned distric
does not show up on the tax hooki
iii the valuation generally placet
upon it.
During Wednesday night tin
1*1 att. stock which was mover
into the street in n jiffy by man}
m groes and others, the negroes
t y the way, working like Tro
jans, was placed in wagons and
1 auled to the Brennen building
on Washington street. Ofcour?<
t' "ro was a great deal of stealag<
and breakage, but much of th#
stock was saved in a marketahli
is.
condition.
, TJie VanMetre stock was
moved from the first floor only
iud piled in (ho street between
:ho Y..M. C. A. building and Mc
Millan'e. It virtually stopped
up the street. It had hardly been.
p piled there when the rain began.
A cordon of police was thrown
s around it, but even this could
r' not keep down the stealage abso
lutely. The electric lights disappeared
before 11 o'ccloek and
the officers were left in total daik
nes8 save for I ho occasional glare
from the ruins. Yesterday morni)
ing bright and early men and
wagons appeared on tho scene
and in a short time the valuable
stock, which could so easily be
uined by water, was removed to
a storeroom on Assembly street
for storage. A great deal of the
most costly stuflf had been ruined
by the rain before it could be
moved.

tion of tho lire striking his place,
j had everything back in its place
by daylight and things were run
ning along as usual.
Most of the trunks, clocks,
valises and other effects saved
t irom the Jerome were taken
r across I he street to I)r. McMil?
lan's drug store. Dr. McMillan
L not only throw his store open to
i the sufferers, but ho and his assistants
dressed the wounds of all
I injured during the fire, most of
I whom were named yesterday. It
was not until yesterday afternoon
, that many of tho guests of the
I hotel succeeded in finding their
* valises and trunks. Most of
f them were perfectly sate in Dr
McMillan's place. A few traveling
men who had left their bag
gage at tho hotel while thov were
3 making short trips over the State
- were busy telegraphing here yes,
terday trying to find their posi
sessions.

3 who wero burned out to secure
t another place and announce that
1 ha would make r fresh start at
i the earliest possible moment was

I The Farmers and Mechanic*

1 j that the Biuall buildings they ovrn
north of the alley were saved.

Yesterday there were a niim1
I ber of electric linemen working

burned. They had a difficult
' task to straighten out the wires

them were burned and twisted.

During the day hundreds of
people cam* down to view the
ruins, notwithstanding the rain.

j could see all the way through to

way referred to yesterday. It
3 tacklsd a brick building in rear
' of Schaill's pawn chop on the

firemen kept the flames confined
to thin building, however.
