A DISASTROUS FIRB.-Ths morning, short
Time after IL O'Clock, the large brick building
owned Dy Joshua Longstreth and occupied by
J. Rush Ritter & Co, No, 223 Church street. be-
tween Second and Third, was discovered on fire
The private watchman OF the establishment
Joshua Beesley, was making his rounds ex.
amtning the premises when he saw flames
Issuing from window on the first floor of the
premises. lie gave the alarm, and Mr., Ritter
and two of his sons, then sleeping in the
Dullolng, were informed OF the conflagration
Mr.. Ritter gained the roof, and from there
dropped the keys of the doors down TO the
watchman, in order that the latter might gain
access to the lower part OF the building. An
alarm was then sounded from box 81, at the
corner of Third and Market streets, and the
hremen were soon at the scene. Meeting with
no resistance, but aided by the combustible
dry goods with which the building was we'll
stocked, the flames rushed upward with great
rap1dity, and soon reached the roof of the
building, having destroyed everything in the
shape of stock in their progress upward.
Messrs. Ritter Co. had just received an ex-
tensive assortment of silks, white goods, etc,
which by them were valued at from $4,000 to
$4,000 On this stock they have an insurance
Of $4,000, as folows:-Reliance. of PHILADELPHIA,
$5OOG Philadelphia, $1,000; Manhattan, OF New
York, $4,000; and Metropolitan, $1,000. The
building, which is built Of brick, and four
stories in height, is owned by Mr.. Longstreth,
and is supposed TO be fully covered by in
surance.
From this building the flames assailed those
adjoining, but the energetic manner in which
tue tiremen worked prevented their serious
damage by fire, and they were perfectly deluged
with water. No. 2z7 was occupied by Messrs.
WINS Horner general dealers in dry goods, on
the first floor; Mr. e. Kayser, dry goods iobber,
was established on the second: and the remain :
ing upper stories were used as a hoop skirt
manufaciory. The goods and working mate
rials in all the rooms of this building were
greatly damaged by water.
How the fire originated is yet hidden in mys-
terry. Mr.. Ritter and the two young men
escaped from the building by means of q trap
door through the roof, their retreat down stairs
being cut off by the flames.
