No. gl6 Pennsylvania avenue, occupied BY MIRA
40. Tho fire resulted In an almost complete de
struotOn Of the stock stored In the upper part Of
the building. A1 far as the facts can be CLEANED
In relation TO tho matter IL appears that man
named Eiohstadt, employed as superintendent
10 the establishment, was at work In the front
Ing, and heated his irons by means Of small
oOaloil stove. In removing ono Of the irons the
stove upset aud the cOal-Oil exploded. Every

being OF a light, cOmbustiblo material, the
flames quickly spread, and In short time The
room Was one blaze OF nre--hobby. horses, jump

The names spread over to the partition that
divided the store from that OF Mr.. VIM. Demp.
soy, bookseller and stAtiOner, and was making
rapid Roadway in that direction when tho de,
partment arrived on the ground. The firemen
flames suppressed, although considerable dam.
age by water was done TO the stock on the nrst
floor aud that Of Mr.. Dempsey, in the store
adjoining. The loss to Mrs, Glitch Is estimated
ut about 81, 900, and is insured for 5000 as fob
lows: Franklin, "A, 900; Potomac, ~, 1000.
Mr., Dempsey'B stock was damaged by water
only, and he estimates his loss at 1000 which

Western.
The fre department deserves great credit fol
their promptness In reaching tho scene Of tho
IRE, and tits entirely owing TO their activity
and concert Of action that a more serious cOnha-
grafton did not take place. The members Of the
police force rendered excellent aid in assisting
