Burlington Inn Unquestionably Fired by
Black Fiend, Who is Now Under Arrest.
The destruction of the Burlington
Inn and a portion of the Southern
Railway depot at Burlington last
Wednesday morning, brief mention of
which was made last week, was caused
by a black fiend who is fortunately
under arrest. The fire caused a loss of
nearly $15,000, of which only a small
portion is recoverable through insur-ance.
Aside from the railroad com-pany,
which owned the hotel building,
the heaviest loss falls on Mrs. E. M.
Ward, the lessee. Her net loss is per-haps
$1,500. Numbers of the guests of
the house met with small losses, among
them Mr. John M. Rose, of the Pied-mont
