special telegram To the Dispatch.
CLOVER, Va, November 19.-Eerly this
morning the storebouSe Of Messrs. Easley
6 Hurt, at this place, was consumed by
fire, together with most Of their large stock
of merchandise. Their loss is estimated at
twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars.
The goods are said to have been insured,
but for what amount your reporter has not
been able to learn. The house occupied
by the agent Of the Richmond and Danyi.le
railroad, by very extraordinary efforts, was
saved. Had the iifc been communicated TO
that. no human effort could have saved the
hotel or any Of the houses in the hotel lot,
and quite likely tue frcisht-hcuse would also
have been con sumcd.
