Owing, to the change in the railroad schedule which necessitates this paper going to press an hour earlier, we were unable, last week, to give as full and complete an account of last Thursday morning's fire as we otherwise would have done. As already stated, Messrs.

D. C. Kufty who were the heaviest osers, had $1,000 insurance on their stock. Their loss outside of this is from $600 to $800. They- are of course not able to give the exact figures.

Their safe was opened after the fire and its contents found prae- ically intact. The back of a leather- bound book was slightly scorched but. iverything else was uninjured.

The merchants, saw mill men and every one that wants work are busy. Lumber and shingles seem to be in demand. Many teams are employed pulling in logs and lumber.

Mr. Thomas Peden, of Winnsboro, S. a'former resident of Taylorsville, was here last week to rent a boarding house of E. M. Stevenson, Esq.

It is hoped by Mr. Peden's friends here that he will make the necessary arrangements and conclude to come back and make Taylorsville his permanent residence. When Taylorsville has a chance to secure a citizen like we all know Mr Peden to be, some inducement shonk be held out to him to return. the house just the day before the fire. the St.

Charles Hotel, was kicked by a mule Tuesday. He received the blow on his thigh and while not se riously injured will be lame for soint time. 'Squire Mills says he has been a horse-trader for 40 years and be thinks it rather hard that a mule should get the best of him at this late day. LANDMARK was under a wrong impression as to the date of the meeting of the Iredell Couuty Educational Association. It meets next first Saturday in December instead of the last Satur day in November, as stated.

Tho subjects to be considered at the meeting Saturday are: "Busy Work in the Schoolroom," and "Howto Teach Geography." county commissioners and tho board of aldermen will meet in regular monthly session next Monday. At the same time the countv officers elected at the recent election will file their bonds and take the oath of office for the two years' term. All the old county officers, will regain on duty except County Surveyor J. E. Summers, who will be succeeded by Capt.

S. P. Kneeland, of The barroom of Messrs. Leonard Bowers adjoined the store of essrs. Rnfty Co.

Tho night of the fire these gentlemen were at Salisbury attending the Democratic celebration and everything in their establishment was consumed. They had $400 insurance on their stoc! and $200 on personal effects. Th insurance will cover their loss. J. P.

Murphy's barber ahop was in the next roum in the same building Two barber's chairs and a few hot ties and mugs were saved. Murphy estimates his loss at over $500 and no insurance. After taking an inventory of their effects, Messrs. D. J.

Williams ane W. L. Westmoreland, the other parties who suffered by tho fire, have concluded that their loss was greater than reported last week. They lost some whiskey and their bar fixtures, ind in addition to this Mr. Williams ost a box of carpenter's tools and ome personal effects.

The latter puts his loss at $150 and Mr. Westmoreland's at $125. They carried no surance. Tho origin of the fire is yet a mys- ery. As stated last week, it origi- ated iu the store of Messrs.

Rufty Co. and those who saw it first say was burning near the front of the milding and next the barroom ad- oiuing. Mr. Rufty says there was five in his store for two hours be- ore he closed up and all the matches had were in tin boxes covered ith tight-fitting lids. The vacant ot adjoining the store has been used a camping place by wagoners for any years-and the wind had swept of fodder and other inflammable laterial under the building, aud one icory is that a spark from a camp- ire in the lot was blown under the building and set firo to the paper, fodder, The other theory is that the fire was incendiary and to this latter view a majority of the community hold.

Which is correct will Irobably never be known. THE DMARK dislikes to believe that and live there. His brother, Mr. W. W.

Mott, who has been living at Seattle, Washington, for some time, and who has a position in the sheriff's office, is a personal friend of Governor-elect McGraw, of that State, and will be the latter's private secretary when he takes office. Mrs. T. W. Summers Is visiting relatives Charlotte.

Whether an article in this paper last week prompted 'Squire Barkley to tender his resignation we do not know, but THE LAKDJIAKK is not authorized to receive resignations of magistrates. If 'Squire Barkley really wants to resign Clerk of the superior Court J. H. Hill will attend to his case. W.

Tho sky was clouded over and it was impossible to. observe the expected meteoric shower. Since the comet did not pnt in appearance THE LANDMARK is of opinion that tho Cuarlotln Obserter was right when it remarked, several days ago, that all this talk- about tho thing striking the earth and knocking it to smithereens was nothing more nor less than a Republican sensation started to check the joy of gleeful Democrats. Ab, A.

Anderson, of Davie, called on THE LANDMARK last Friday. The main object of his visit, he said, was to tell us how to run the paper, and incidentally to contribute something to help run it. Mr. Anderson said he had heard it rumored that au election had been held recently, but so far as Dav-ie was concerned he was in doubt about it. However, a Davie Republican has expressed tho opinion that if there was a recount of the votes cast in that county it would be found that Davie had go'no Deiu cratic like all the rast of the Dait rob IAN: there is anybody in this community mean enough to do such a deed, but if there is we sincerely hope the scoundrel or scoundrels mav be caught up with and dealt with as he or they deserve.

All tho parties burned out have resumed business except Messrs. Leonard Bowers. They have not yet been able to secure a place for their bar. Messrs. Westmoreland Williams have opened up in the basement of the Cooper House.

Murphy has opened his barber shop in the corner room of the St. Charles Hotel building. Messrs. Rufty Co. have rented the store room in the old Carolina Hotel building, formerly oceu- iied by Messrs.

Hoffmann and later by Messrs. Clarke Meyer. They have already put in some goods and will be ready for business in a few days. The buildings burned were the property of Mr. W.

M. Cooper. They were one-story frame structures, not worth more than $500 or $000. Mr. Cooper had no insurance on them but he is not losing any sleep over the loss.

Outsifle of the fact that they brougut in about $000 rout per year the buildings were practically valueless. The vacant lot is worth more than when tho buildings were on it. Mr. Cooper is already considering City, arrived here Saturday night nd joined Mr. Maxwell, who has een here for a week.

The Third party voters of Alexander county whom your correspondent has talked with, seem to be glad that the election has resulted the way it has, and they want to claim part of the victory.

Many of them say that the incoming administration, now hat the Democrats have the President, Senate and House, will only pass he measures promised by the party its national and State platforms, hey will return to the Democratic party. Mr. Milas Deal, who lived on the Wilkesboro road, near Salem church, TotheEdltorotTneLantlmark: Being the only representative here from Iredell, I naturally turn to the columns of your newsy paper when I wish to know what is taking place in Iredell.

Two months or more ago he suffered an attack of malarial fever and although h6 recovered and has since gone about his duties as usual he has not been at all well, and he felt that his health would not longer admit of his giving his attention to the business of the bank.

Wilhelm was worse hurt about it than he was. The children of Mr. and Mrs. H. Cloaninger, of Barringer township, gave Mrs.

Cloaninger a birthday dinner on last Thursday, the 24th She was seventy 3'ears old that day. There were present all of their children (six) and all of their grandchildren (thirty-three) except two. The children had invited Rev. D. W.

Michael and family and some few others. There were fifty-four in all who partook of the bountiful feast. I have been informed that the expected comet has caused a good deal of hurried-up religion in some parts of the community.

Since the great strike at the Carnegie Works at Homestead, the company requires each man it employs to sign an agreement in which he pledges himself to refrain from belonging to any labor organization, and to be governed entirely by the rules and regulations of the company. Each department superintendent is provided with these blanks, and no one can be employed unless he signs the agreement. John Freeny, colored, was hanged at Franklin, Texas, last Friday for the murder of his stepson.

He was too poor to have a lawyer and the court appointed an attorney for the defense who agreed with the prosecuting attorney that the prisoner should plead guilty. The prosecution was to recommend imprisonment for life. To everybody's surprise Freeny refused to plead guilty, was convicted and the death penalty pronounced and executed.

Trontman's, Nov. 2S, 1892. A llriue's Snlt for the Loss of a Husband. Foughkoepsle, N. Dispatch, 27th ult.

Among those killed on the Central Hudson Railroad by the collision at Hastings on the night before Christmas, 1891, was John R. Bagnall, of this city, and among the injured was Miss Era Frear, also of this city. It is said that the two were to be married. Now Miss Frear has commenced suit against railroad company for damages amounting to between $80,000 and £40,000, claiming that she was to have been married to Mr. Bagnall, and that because of the accident, which was the result of carelessness, she has lost a husband and therefore she has been deprived of support and maintenance during her life.

It is reported that she has offered to compromise for $20,000. The suit is certainly a novel one. vanced. R.S.WEBB. ll.rn Burned ID Alexander.

J. It has been discovered that the wheat crop of Minnesota aud the Dakotas is many million bushels above all the estimates. The grain men do not know what to think of the situation. They are all at sea regarding what they are to expect. They have been estimating the crop at from 85,000,000 to 105,0000,000 bushels for the three big wheatStates, but they are all beginning to hedge now.

Those who have pnt their figures at 100,000,000 have added from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 more, and those who figured higher than that originally have gone up as high as 130,000,000 or more now. There was great excitement in Philadelphia Sunday night on account of the expected appearance of the comet and hundreds of men, women and children gathered on the streets by dark and remained until long past the hour announced for its appearance. Three cases of insanity through fear of the destruction of the world were reported by the police, aud prominent physicians predicted that many cases of nervous prostration and possible death would result from the intense strain upon the nervous systems of the weak and superstitions. The Secretary of the Interior last Saturday transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury the estimates required to pay pensions for the next fiscal year. The sum of $166,831,350 will be pay pensions on account of the army and navy, including the maintenance of pension agencies, clerk hire and other incidental expenses.

Of this amount it is estimated that $165,000,000 will be paid directly to pensioners. In addition to the estimate of $146,737,330 for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1892, a deficiency of $10,508,621 is asked. During the first fiscal year of the present administration an estimate of $89.500,000 in round numbers was sufficient to pay vpensions and other incidental expenses. Stranger Things Have Happened.
