| A destructive fire occurred
Tuesday night about 7 o'clock P. M., on the premises of the Charlotte {&
South Carolina} Railroad Company, resulting in the loss of a store-house, belonging to
the Company, and a portion of the roof of the adjoining round house. A
large amount of provisions and railroad tools were destroyed, a part
of which belonged to the {Columbia & Augusta} Hamburg Railroad. Loss estimated at about
$800,000. It originated in a store-room from which a negro was sent to
bring oil. He had a torch in hand, negro-like, and hence this serious
loss. |
