Efforts are making among the fire laddies of Charleston to hold a tournament in this city in the fall in which the various teams in the cities of this State and in Georgia and North Carolina will compete. The j Charleston Hose Reel Association are looking into the advisability of pull ing off a contest that will continue about four days. They will immedi ately set about to see what assistance willl be lent by vhe local merchants, npou whom much depends. It is believed that such a tourna ment wil attract many crack teams bere and that it will be the finest dis play of ; the skill and daring of the flame figthers of this and other com munities. There will be no difficulty in getting companies to attend and enter if proper prizes are offered, and if the railroads will make a reduced rate it is believed that a large num ber of strangers will come here for the occasion. At the recent tournament held in Snmter, where the local laddies made such an excellent showing, several hundred people frem every section of the State were present, and they spent their money freely, to the profit of merchants and city alike. "With a number of fair cash prizes the same condition would prevail here and the local flame fighters propose to push the cause along as much as it lies in their powerr.?Charleston Post Fire. There was a fire at Mrs. Manning Brown's, Church street, last Wednes day about 1 o'clock. A hole was burned in the kitchen roof, and except from a slight damage by water this was the only loss. Monaghan hose wagon put out the blaze in a few minutes after arriving in response to the alarm. The house of Frank L. Stewart, the colored merchant, which was situ ated on Cemetery avenue, was burned Monday night about 8.30 o'clock. The fire started in the kitchen, having originated from a defective flue, and spread to the body of the house. Nearly all of the furniture was re moved from the house in time to save it from serious damage, but every thing in the kitchen, including a bicycle, was burned. The house was partially insured. The fire depart ment was called out after the fire had made considerable progress, but could do little toward saving the house owing to the distance from the nearest fire hydrant. Killed by the Heat John Kennedy, colored, a railroad section hand, was overcome by the heat last Friday and fell on Harvin street while on his way home from work. He was picked up and carried home and given medical attention but never , regained consciousness. He died last night. Kennedy' has been working with section Master Moore for sometime, coming to this place from Eastover, where his family are said to live at present. This is the first death from heat prostration that has occurred in Sum ter this season, so far as is known. Millinery Announcement.
