TAs Fire On Yesterday.
Yesterday morning al seven o'clock, our cii-
xcas were reused from their morning slumbcrs
BY the terrible cry Of "6re,s II broke cut in
small frame building in the rear Of bakery and
confectionery establishment, on the south side Of
Jefferson Street, between Main Street and the
river, kept BY an Eaglishman named Simpsen,--
When the 6re was first discovered, it had made
but little progress, and a few buckets Of water
iadseioasly applied woald have put tout No
water being at hand, however, aud all the houses
adjoining being Of wood, flames soon extended to
the two story buildings On The street, which were
consumed in very short space IS time. The
fire Yves prevented ny great cxcrticns from ex.
,cndin: 70 the brick store houses Of Messrs Ew-
ing and Hager, and G. L. Gcssecker. now occa-
pied BY Messrs Ezekiel, VIM Garrett and ]. n.
Evans,n extended, however. from the brick
store house Of Mr. Ewing, eastward TO the alley;
aud the flames were only prevented from cross
ing Tho alley aud be,nins all the houses to the ri
yer, b. the exertions OF our citizens, in pulling
down the building on the corner Of the alley
owacd by L. p. Reed, and occupied BY Powers
as q barber shop, and BY Reed as shoe shop.
Nessrs Michaels s Clark occupied the store
room next 10 that Of w. B. Ewing. They saved
all their goods but about $500 worth. Tue Sec
ond story was occupied as Law Office by T. D.
Croker, Esq, who lost part Of his library, and
BY DR. ]. II. Raach, who lost his medical library,
museum. Sc, and sll his clothes and papers,
Tho Doctor might have saved the whole Of his
cec,s but Cor his generous exertions to help 9TH
ers ana 70 extinSuish the fire. The building was
owned by Roh't Armstrong, who had in the third
story about $1,000 worth Of goods, slowed away
since his retirement from business. Mr. A csti-
mates his en- Ire loss II $4,000.
The next building was the one occupied BY
simpson, the bakcr and coafectioner, in which
the Gre originated. He lost every thing he had,
which is estimated at Sico. The building was
owned BY Z. +. Wilson and w. A. Dorsey.
The next sufferer was W. II. Mauro; all the
goods in his store house were removed, SO tina,
none Of them are believed to have been burned.
but they suffered some damage in the removal
They arc temporarily stored in the ware house
cf ]. G. LAamsn & Brother. Mr. Mauro was
the owner Of the building occupied BY himself,
and his loss - estimated At $500.
L. r. Reed owned the building on the corner
ot the alley occupied BY himself and Powers
Mr. Reed saved nearly all his effects, his principal
loss il the building. Mr. Powers loss was incon-
siderable.
We believe there was no Insurance on any Of
the buildings, nor any Of the property Destroy
Cd or injured. Messrs Esekicl's, Vim Garrett
and J. n. Evans suffered some inconvenience. as
well Is some little loss in the removal Of their
goods. We believe they had their goods on their
shelves again yesterday, and were doing business
a. il nothing had occurred. Michaels s Clark
removed their stock to the room occupied BY A.
o. McCrew next door south Of Kimball & Co.'s,
and are Is ready a. ever 70 accommodate their
customers.
Notwithstanding the early hour a, which the
FIRE originated, quite crowd Of our citizens
were on hand As soon as the alarm was given
The buildings being all Of wood, and no engine
being on hand, nothing could be done to extin-
cuish The flames, and their whole attention was
necessarily given 10 proven. their further extern
sion. They worked faithfully 70 effect this, and
it's no doubt OWN; 10 the noble exertions Of
those who were early on the ground, that the fire
did not prove The most disastrous cac that has
ever taken place in Burlington.
