Business Ward Walker

& Co., L. A, Davis -i'C and G. T. Randall Succumb To the Fire.

At 2:30 last night everythii", on Main Street was very quiet. At '.:4o, night watchman Budding discover/d iire in the dental parlor of A. J. Smith, located in ||-1 J. Ward Walker & Co's. building, State-st.

There are several theories as to the1 origin of the fire. Some state that started in Smiths dental offici*, and others~ say it did not. Mr. Smith informs us

that he is sure ha turned his is off immediately after supper, and that he thinks the fire could not have started there.

The loss is estimated from $10,000 to $15,000, and will probably reach $10,000. While both the buildings an eld cues, yet it makes a serious loss to the owners.

J. Ward Walker & Co's. building wamft occupied on the first floor by Carter Lancaster. fobceTs. TVit -tor. mated at $1,500, paltially insured.

John Evans occupied a room back of- pj| the grocery store, with a harness 8hcp,.' but he saved nearly all of his goodp^U His loss will not exceed $100. "*•.

Immediately in the rear of the hameeB shop, Dr. A. J. Smith has his dental parlors. He saved most of h's goods, and his loss will, foot up-about $100.

On the second floor was Geo. Duncans law office, und $50 will cover the loss. Dr. Bruner occupied the room back of Duncans law office. His loss vpill be $150,

Dr. McGuire the Veterinarian, was also on this floor and lost about $150, This building was the property cf J. Ward Walker & Co., and was held at $5,000. Mr. Walker had $3,000 insurance.

The building next to Walkers was owned by G. T. Randall and L. A. Davis. Mr. Davis had his jewelry store on the nitL Hour, and it is hard 10 estimate the loss on his stock. As near as can be estimated his loss will be $2,000 TMUV insured. Mr. Davis carried $1,000 insurance on the building, while Mr. Randall carried none.

John H. Binford occupied the front room over Davis jewelry store, and lost several valuable books and papers His loss will amount to about $400, partially insured.

The band boys occupied the thin!, -tory of the Randall & Davis building. Their loss is slight.

If wo remember right, the voters of Greenfield voted for water works a, year or so ago. Yet we are no nearer to th water works now, than we wero befor we voted for them. It is impossible to see why our City Council don't take some steps in this matter. Tab have expressed themselves on the subject of water works and it is the duty of the Council to pay some attentio» wants of the tax payers, w.

No, Greenfield don't heed fire protection, We only have four or ttve

fires

a mouth, and a little loss like tho above don't amount to anything. Business men and capitalists like to invest their money in Greenfield property a tire don't auiouot to any thing. There is not a city in Indiana the size of Greenfield, but what has ample fire protection. We heard it repeatedly said in the street this morning that a very small engine would have saved thousands of dollars worth of property. It is time for the authorities to take some action in this matter.

At the meeting of the Horticultural Society last Sa turday, John F. Coffin was chosen President for the eusuing year, Frank Stinger, Vice-President Marlon Steele,-"Secretary J. K. Henby, Treasurer. The Association meets again tho third Saturday in January at the Court House. Papers will be read by J. K. Henby, D. H. Goble and others. All perons interested in the growing of fruit— and we presume there are but few who are not—should become members ot thje Association and attend the meetings.

We have made a special effort this season to carry ft nice line of Christmas goods of all kinds, and you will And our store betid quarters for moat anythiih you want. Lkk C. Thaym!^'"
