AN EXTENSIVE CONGREGATION
Two Dry Goods Stores and Pho
tographio aaIlery-Loss
$4,000. W.

The alarm Of FIRE about halfpast one
o'clock this morning was occasioned by
the appearance Of FIRE in the upper por-
ton of the building occupied by Green
valid a Labe as dry goods store, at No.
22O Main street The fire originated near
the roof, and the third floor was quickly
mass of flames, which soon communi.
Gated to the upper portion Of the ad.
joining building occupied by Bingham
Bros. as photograph gallery. The fire
department turned out promptly and
we're not long in pouring several streams
Of water on the flames, which soon
stopped the progress of the fire. Their
efforts, however, received a check
by having to change their base in con-
sequence Of the water in the cisterns
giving out. A heavy rain was falling at
the time, but it seemed to have no effect
on the flames. Greenwald and Labe
had heavy stock of dry goods stored in
the building, probably amounting to
$4,000. That portion Of it on the
third floor was almost totally consumed,
while the stock downstairs was badly
injured by the food of water that was
poured into the building. They arc in.
sured in various Offices for $62,50O,
which will not cover their loss. M.
Kraus & Co., at the corner Of Adams
street, had but little destroyed by fire,
but their loss is very heavy from water,
removal, etc. They had heavy stock,
and being Immediately under the photo
graphic gallery, we're we'll watered. They
are insured for $4,000, which, it
is thought, will cover their loss
Bingham Brothers, the we'll known
photographers, lost the entire stock of
apparatus, pictures, negatives, etc., in
their we'll furnished gallery. Their loss
is estimated at seven thousand dollars,
on which there is no insurance The
buildings are owned by Fellowes q Co.,
of New York, and are insured above the
amount of damage. One of the first
persons at the fire was ex.Chief Waldra-
ven, who found Mr. Greenwald and three
young men asleep in room adjoining
the place where the fire originated. If
the flames had not been discovered SO
soon, they would probably have been
burned to death. The fire was first OBJ
served between the roof and ceiling, i'm
mediately over the elevator, and was
undoubtedly the work of an incendiary.
The fire department did splendid execu-
ton, as any person can see by viewing
the scene of the conaagration. 1
