comprising marble nantels, bureau and table

Insurance of $500. The fire was undoubtedly
the work of an 1ncendiary, and the police are
in search OF the suspected party. Officer Bucha-
nan, of the Mayors police, was early on the
ground, and succeeded in saving the books and
papers of the establishment, and carried them

From The State Guard Of yeStef day.
About IL o'clock last night an alarm of fire
was sounded, and upon repairing To the neigh-
boThood from whence IL came we found the
establishment of Rahter a. HausG on fire.
Dense volumes of smoke came out OF the doors
and windows, accompanied by the frequent ex-
plosions OF alcohol and other liquors
AZ O'Clock the flames were bursting through
the root, and it is likely that the entire build
ing will be destroyed. The safe with its con-
tents has been secured. The loss will be S25 900
or $4,000. Insurance $4,000, mostly In Eastern
companies. The door back OF the office, which
has been locked for months and the key lost,
was found standing open. This looks like in
cendiaTism.
The fire was first discovered in the cellar,
about the centre of the building, where q lot oi
old boxes, barrels, and other rubbish had been
stored. The fire was undoubtedly the work OF
an tncendiaTy, as no fire had been used in that
portion OF the building.
Mr hahter had just replenished his stock a
few days agoand had large quantity ofliquors
on hand Six or seven immense tanks were
filled yesterday with "Zingari Btters." which,
together with his entire dtsttlling apparatus,
bottling, and other departments on the second
