F1RE.-On last Thursday morning about
one o'clock, q fire was disc overed in the rear
or kitchen part Of building on Jefferson
Avenue owned and occupied by Henry
schnoor as tailor shop and dwelling. It
had made such headway when frat seen as
to render its extln guishment impossible,
and those present devoted themselves to
the removal Of the goods in the building,
consisting mainly Of household furniture.
The fire soon communicated to the small
frame warehouse adjoining, belonging to
C.. F. & W. Powell and from thence to the
paint shop Of J. c. Wilson, destroying both
in very short time. A large quantity OF
stoves, plows and wheelbarrows stored in
tho Warehouse we're removed with Sigh.
damage, while buggies, sleighs ane wagons
in various stages Of painting were hustled
uncerem oniously out Of the shop Of Mr.
Wilson. The personal property was mostly
saved, and the buildings, being small
frames, were Of no great value. Mr.. Schnor q
loss was about three hundred dollars, he be-
ms partially insured in the Aetna. Messrs
Powell's loss is about five hundred and Mr..
Wilson loses about the same. The dwell
ing house of Nicholas Labr fifty feet s)u,b-
erly OF the paint shop was in great danger,
and only saved by hard work and the ex-
ertlons Of men upon the roof. Mr.. Lahr's
furniture was injured somewhat by removal,
but the loss is fully covered by insurance
in the St. Paul Fire and Marine Co.
