FIRE. The alarm of fire about quarter
laSt eight clock last evening was caused by
the burning of block Of seven three Stored
famed dwelling houses Oh the east side OF
Payne street, south Of Cameron, including the
house at the southeast cOrucr OF the intersec-
ion of Payue and Cameron streets. The cor
her house was owned by Heury Coxeu, and
was occupied by him aud by } ohm Thomas aud
faulty. rhe adjoining three houses on the
south we're owned by w. a. Sisson. The first
was occupied by j. L. kcmper had only
moved into it on "Wednesday last the second
by Basil Warriug and James Shackelford aud
family; aud the third by Presley Beach and
Johu Miuteru and family. The next two ad-
joining on the south belonged to Caleb Rich
ards the first Of which was occupied by Lev.
Walker, and the last by the owner. The last
house 10 the block was owned by VIM. Rich-
ards, and was temporarily occupied by Z. ..
Supple. The fire broke out in the corner house,
aud owing TO the cowbustible character OF the
material Of which the buildings were construct
ed, the whole block, with the exception Of the
!wo at the south eud-and they were badly
damaged was entirely consumed. Most OF
the furniture contained in the houses was got
ten out, but 50 badly damaged was 1t that II
might almost as well have remained aud been
destroyed with the rest. The fire department
was on hand sonp after the alarm was sounded,
but it was so long before that was done. owing
TO the cries being mistaken for those of boys at
ylay, that the flames had made considerable
progress before water was turned on them.
Mr. Coxen was insured for $500 IN the
Continental Company, of New York, OF
which George Wise is the Alexandria agent,
aid W. A. Sisson was insured for S2,l0O 10
the Maryland and the Virginia State compan,
les of which S. H. Jaoney & Son are the
agents in this city. Nvue of the household and
kitchen furniture ofthe occupants OF the houses
was Insured, nor was there any insurance
upon the other buildings destroyed or daul-
aged. The fire is supposed to have been
accidental, and owing to the early hour at which
II occurred, and the pleasant weather prevail
lug at the time, large crowd Of all ages, sexes
aud conditions was attracted to the scene. The
Police were on hand, but, thstandiDg their
Presence, many of the articles removed from
lie houses were stolen.
