Orangeburg, Nov. 29.?Early this morning Orangeburg suffered another big conflagration, resulting in approx? imately a $10,000 loss. Shortly before 8 a. m. the fire was discovered by one of the city's patrolmen and the alarm was sent In. When discovered the flames had practically devoured the interior of the West End livery stable on BrOUghton street, owned and conducted by Julius H. All.retell. A fair breeze was blowing hi this time and the fire leaped to adjoining build? ings. The fire was in tha centre of a number of frame structures and the flames spread rapidly. The work of the local fire depart? ment was splendid, as the large frame building occupied by the grain and produce firm of Ayers & Williams was within 10 feet of one of the destroy? ed buildings and was hardly scorch? ed. The buildings owned by J. W. Smoak and B. B. Owen were just across the street and in close proxim? ity to the fire but were burned only slightly. The brunt of the loss fell upon Mr. Albretch, whose loss has been esti? mated at $8,000. Ten of his own horses were burned to death, also one that was boarding there, and all his many fine buggies and harness, near- ] ly $2,000 worth of grain and pro? visions, his well equipped buildings and other effects were destroyed. Mr. Albretch carried only $1,500 insur? ance on his main building. The oth? er losers were Abial Lathrop, one un? occupied dwelling house; Eustus Wil? liams, stock of groceries, loss $500, not including insurance; John McNa mara, two-story frame store building; Mrs. David Ayers, sing'.e story frame bullding; J. \V.
