near ten thousand dollars worth of property
on ulldings owned by Messrs. E. X. Tryon, Jr.,

Running back from Second street a distance
of about 300 feet is fve-storied brick struc-
ture, terminating in a two-story brick building,
the first floor of which is used as an engine
room and the second floor by Richard Pendle
bury, manufactures of woollen bobbins. Back
ing the latter is three-storied structure In the
basement of which a colored man named &.
Green carries the manufacture of hominy;
the first floor is unoccupied the second
story is devoted by Messrs. Hoffman & Sons to
wood-turning and working in pearl, ivory, and
bone. The firm were pretty extensively
gagged in making bone and ivory sleeve buttons,
harness rings, crochet needles, etc. The third
story is taken up by three parties, viz, Mr..
wood-turner; and Mr.. Eggling, who is also
wood-turner. Each of these parties had con-
siderable stock on hand together with the
lathes tools, and other machinery.
The fire originated In the engine-room, en-
tered the second story, and destroyed entirely
Mr.. Pendlebury's property, which consisted of
| full stock, and eleven lathes and other neces-
gary machinery. His loss is not at present
known.
The flames then entered the second-story
| windows of the rear building, and consumed
| about one-half of the stock and machinery of
| Messrs. Hoffman q Sons; then entered the third
| portion of the roof.
Messrs. Tryon & Co.. the owners of the rear
| building, have an insurance of $500 in the
Royal Insurance Company, which will probably
| cover the loss.
The epgne-house is almost wreck. 1t is
| not insured.
Hoffman & Sons lose about $20OO which is
| covered by 1880 insurance. The loss of Mr..
Baltz is about 5000, and that of Mr.. Grass cannot
be more than $1,000. The portion occupied by
Mr.. EggliDg received damage by water only;
| the loss is trifling.
Mr.. Green, on the basement, had stock of
hominy worth 5000 and some machinery. He
is protected by an insurance of $400.
