A BAD FIRE IN UNION. 2hvo Ilnrtis, Tu o liotiscs mid n Coy,' Shed Hurncd. Fire Originated From a Burning Nest. THE HEROIC ACT OF A STRANGER. On Friday' afternoon nbouc half after five o'clock the ?<1 uun of (ire was sounded, ami in a few minutes great volumes of smoke were boiling from the large stable, in the lot belonging tu the fOiidenee occupied by Mr. Win. Anderson and family on Church street. In a few minutes the groat sheets of llama had caught an out house nearer the residence, then the cow houso on the premises jof'Mr. Charles Bolt. In twenty minutes from tlie alarm of lire the flames had caught the rear rooms of Mr. Anderson's, residence and were spreading over the roof whiTo halt of the house was in flames The residence belonging to Mr. Fresstnil was smoking and in imminent danger of catching. About this time the firecompany arrived with their hose arid a stream was turned on I lie smoking building, then on the fire, -and by iiard fighting the flumes were con- ; lined to the burning building, which had been promptly emptied of its furniture by willing hands, everything being saved except some furniture in the back room, and some things among which was' a valuable carpet stored in the out house. The ; property belonged to Dr. S. S. Linder and the estimated loss of his property not covered by insurance is $500 to $000. During this time Mr. I) )!t's residence facing the other street was in imminent danger of catching. Hud ! it caught several other buildings i nearby would most assuredly have' been consumed, this was prevented by \ THE HEROIC ACT OK A 8TRASGEU. j A young man who had juBt arrived | in town, a tight wire walker "Flex- J ible Turner" whose real name is J. , B. Hutchinson, a South Carolina boy, was negotiating with the Mayor ; of i he city tor the privilege of stretch- ; 'trig a wire to walk on Saturday over ; the main street, when the alarm J sounuea uotn Hurried to tho tire. Find- j ing that the entiro attention of tho ' tiro company was required on Church ! street to save adjoining buildings and 1 that Mr. Bolt's sraokehume and"barn very nonr his residence was about to J catch'lire, he took hold of u small ; garden hose and rushed between the lire and the building and after throw- i ' ing enough water on the barn to keep I it from catching, ran to tho smoke- ! iiouso which was smoking, and not-! withstanding tho terrible heat threw 1 the water on the side next the fire, j until he- almost fainted from l he heat, everyone had left liiiu, the ( others could not stand it. lie next ' ran round and climbed on top of the house and kept it wet while the llames reached within a few feet of i him. He canto near falling front tho j house twice from the fierce heat, but he kept- his post like a true hero, until the fire, wlvioh was consuming the building in front of him, began | to die down, and the house he was ; on was saved. We have never seen J a finer exhibition of courage and endurance than was given by this young man, voluntarily and without hope or thought of reward. In thus saving tho house ho was on by his heroism and almost superhumau endurance of heat, he undoubtedly saved a loss by fire of $5,000 worth of prop- j erty, as Mr. Bolt's entiro property j would, have burned, tho McNeace i building only a few feet distance, j could not have been saved, another I of his buildings closo by would have gone and in nil probability at least two residences on the opposite side ? of the street. When Mr. Hutchinson descended from tho house lop after all danger was over, he was almost in a fainting condition, his face, nock and bared chest was as red as tire could make it and seemed to bo burned almost to a blister. Such an act upon tho part of this young man, an entire stranger, with no interest whatever in the town, deserves tho strongest words of commendation that it is possible to bestow. He stood faithfully to tho post he had voluntarily assumed, when all others had fled, becauso they could not endure tho heat. Spch an act should never bo forgotten bv our citizens, and the hero of this occasion should always bo remembored and oxtended a cordial welcome to our little city whenovor ho may chanco to come this way. Another thing for which he deserves credit is his modesty. We have not hoard of his mentioning the matter to any one unless ho was asked something about it. This Is tho second timo this town has been saved from a disastrous conflagration by strangers.
