The Daily Dispatch: October 29, 1864., [Electronic resource], Incendiary fire. (search)
Incendiary fire. --About half-past 11 o'clock on Thursday night the incendiary torch was applied to the extensive framed building on the corner of Adams and Leigh streets, known as Hooper's coopershop, and owing to the combustible and dry condition of the structure, it was soon levelled to the ground. The eastern end of the building was used as a kitchen by some negroes, who, we understand, lost nearly everything they had. The other portion had not been in use since the death of Mr. J. S. Horner, the owner of the property, about a year since; but there was a valuable collection of timber on hand, which was also destroyed. Loss, between five and six thousand dollars.
The Daily Dispatch: October 29, 1864., [Electronic resource], Robbery. (search)
Robbery. --While the neighbors and firemen were at the fire which destroyed Hooper's coopershop on Thursday night, the store-room in the basement of Mrs. Catherine Carston's residence, a few doors beyond, was forcibly entered and robbed of about two hundred dollars worth of provisions, among which was a cooked ham. The thief, who probably played the incendiary in order to draw off the attention of families near by, took from the window one of the shutters, then hoisted it and carried off the stolen goods.
