CITY AND STATE NEWS.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.--0n Saturday evening. about
O'clock, fire broke out u the sash and blind mu
nutactory of Mossrs. L. Q. Trayor and Wn. Turner,
the building--a long frame one-aDd all It's contents.
Mcssrs. TmyIor aud Turner lost all their machinery
and tocls, quantity OF flushed work. and quantity
OF pank and material OI various kinds. Their loss
cannot be less than IGtU, on which they had 10 ir-
sufanec. 1t is the thirI time Mr.. Traylor has met
with a heavy loss by fire.
The Northern end ot the building WAS occupied hv
NcSsrs. Ellis \ O'Neal, tnrmcls aud carprntcr-.--
lhcy also LOST large quantity OF ready made WORK
and all their tools. Loss about $jUO and Io insu-
rance.
The fire extended on the South 10 the iron foundry
| establishment OF Messrs. Brcnnon " Eddns which
was also speedily consumed, with quantity of vau;-
BILE patterns and property Of various kinds connected
with the operations of their establishment. Loss
probably SlO0O. No insurance. Mr.. Albert Foster
was loser i'll lumber and carpenters tools To the
amount of several hundred dollars No insurance.
One or two stables adjoining the above buildings
were burned, but the horses were saved.
The hosscs destroyed belonged to Messrs. Elaxall
Il Brother owners oi the fine mills in the immediate
neghborhood of the fire. We could not learn whe-
thcr there was an insurance. but as the buildings
were oi very COnbusibc nature, we doubt whether
| they were secured against loss.
The fire crossed 18th street TO very large wooden
dale, and occupied !" servants attached 10 the large
milling cstabli>hm 1t of those gentlemen. Ihl,
building and all il contained speedily destroyed.
Loss 81 $l,jOO-on which, We believe, there is inst
| rance.
Shockoc warehouse, Immediately adjoining these
fires on bot! sides of 18th street was with grcat di
iculty saved from destruction. The brick sheds, un-
der which were closely slowed many hundred
| ho@sIcadS OF tobacco sustained damage 10 the
amount OF one or two thousand dollars; und two Or
three hundred hogsheaIs ut tobacco also da-
mayed, chiefly by water from the hose. Here, we
presume, falls the heaviest loss by this large and de-
structive fire. although it is difficult, present. TO
| innate the amount of damage.
| Had the hire broken out in the night, it is be-
lie, ed that ali the sheds forming Shockoe warehouse
and thousands of ho.sheads of tobacco stored there
in, would have fallen prey 10 the flames. The ware
house is the property of the heirs Of Randolph lalr
son, deceased and il no doubt insured Who incurs
the loss Oh the tobacco, do not knowwe believe
however it WAS chiefly owned by shippers and manu-
llctur.rs.
| The origin of the fire is not known. The hands nt
work in the shop in which the tire occurred .lad re-
tired from :hcir day y duties but few minutes before
