A SUNDAY BLAZE.
Bishop's, Pool's and Knigton's
Stables Burned.-Good Work of
Fire Department.
What might have been a very se
rious fire was averted on Sunday by
the excellent work of the Newberry
fire department.
The fire was discovered about three
o'clock in the loft of B. T. Bishop's
livery stable, and before the alarm
was sent in, the smoke was bulging
Through the loft of he stable, and it
looked as if the whole town was on
ifire.
This stable is surrounded by a
number of other stables, all wooden
buildings, and it required excel1pnt
work in order to prevent the spread
of the flames. At one time they were
throwing six streams of water.
At the power house the pump was
immediately started and it added
pressure to the stream.
Just hqw the fire originated seems
to be a mystery. Mr. Bishop says that
no one had been in the loft since
early in the morning, and he does not
know how the fire started. It is pos
sible that the fire had been smoulder
ing for some time before it was dis
covered.
.The stable occupied by Mr. Bish
op belonged to Mrs. A. T. Brown. Mr.
T. C Pool's and the stable of Mr.
Knighton were burned. Just aeross
the street were the wooden sheds
and stables occupied by Jacobs, which
were saved, and the dwelling house
adjoining Bishop's stables, on the
other side, occupied by Mr. B. 0.
Epting, was also saved.
There was a number of horses and
smvl4s in the stables and lots, and a
numb'er of buggies and carriages,
but they were all taken out.
The only things burned besides the
feed and the buildings were the sta
ble cat and four or five ehickens.
The losses are estimated as fol
lows:
B. T. Bishop, $500.00, with no in
surance. His loss being of food stuffs.
Mrs. A. T Brown, .>uilding $2,000.,
insurance $1,500.
T. C. Pool, stables and hay and
corn, $2,500.00 insurance $700.00 on
building.
A. L. Knighton, building and food
stuffs, $1,500.00, insurance $500.00.
E. A. Griffn and Company, who had
some mowers stor'ed i-n the sheds, es
timated their loss at $170.00 with no
isurance.
There were probably some other
losses on ae:eount of water but they
twere slight.
This has been a fire trap for a long
time, and with the wooden buildings
in rear of Law Range, there is still
a good part of the fire trap left.
The young men who belong to the
volunteer fire department did some
very excellent work, and it being on
Sunday a good many of them had on
their Sumday clothes, whi'eh were
very much damaged and on whieh
they carried no insuranee.
Fdrtunately, for the town there
was very little 'breeze blowing, or the
fire might not have been so easilf
coatrolled.

AN INGENDLARY ma.
Mr. John Henry Chappell lases
House and Barn.-No Insur
ance.-Loss $1,500.
Mr. John Henry Chappell lost a
four room dwelling and a new barn
-by fire early Friday morning. The
two buildings were about three hun
dred yards apart, and both burned
at the same time. The dwelling was
not occupied, but Mr. ChappeR had
about three thousand bundles of fod
der in it. The barn was a new build
ing not yet completed.
'Mr. Chappell says there was no one
around the dwelling the day before
and no fire about it. But even if it
had been set on fire accidentally by
some one smoking, it is not possible
that the saine could have been the
case in the barn, as it was being
built out of green timber, and could
not have easily ignited, and it was
too far from the dwelling to have
caught from it, and besides, both
buildings were burning at the same
time.
Mr. Chappell estimates the house
as worth one thousand dollars and
barn had salready cost him over three
hundred dollars, not counting any
thing for the work which he was do
ing -himself. The fodder was worth
about $75.00. There was no insur
ance.
. Mr. Chappell is satisfied that it was
the wrok of an incendiary.
Something ought to be done to ap
prehend the guilty party or parties.
The fire was discovered about one
o'clock in the night.
lOnly on the 24th of August, Mr.
Chappell had the misfortune to lose
his barn near h-i dwelling house by
fire, in which he lost, besides the
building, a considerable amount of
food stuff. At that time Mr. tChap
pell had insurance on the barn of
$150.00 with the Farmers' Mutual
Insurance Company of Newberry
County, and $250.00 in an old line
company. In the barn that was de
stroy.d in August Mr.' Chappell lost
considerable. The policy in the old
line company was paid promptly, but
the Farmers' Mutual refused to pay,
because of a clause in their policy
which prohibited any other insur
ance, and if any is writtei, provide
that -their policy shall be null and
void.. .
'Mr. Chappell says that -he had
never nofieed any such elause in the
policy, and had ,been paying the as
sessments regularly, as .called for
when other losses occurred, and that
he had been carrying this policy for
seven or eight years. That he had
paid two or three assessments during
this year, and just before his fire iri
August, he had paid one, not know.
inig of this clause in the policy.
