Disastrous Fire at Little Rock-The An
thony House and Number of Other
Buildings in Ruins.

About three o clock Monday morning
a fire broke out in the bookstore of Geo.
Il Gibbs, in building adjoining the An.
thony house on the west Before it was
discovered nearly the entire inside was
enveloped in flames, which rapidly pene-
trated the roof, and spread over the ad-
joining stores between that and the An.
thony house in n short time The Jew
elry store OF Hernay d. Pocck, the whele
sale drug house Of Lincoln Il Co, and n
restaurant French Johns, were in flames.
The engines were all promptly on the
ground, and at this point it was thought
the fire could be suhdued, but the water
gave out, and the flames ieaped over to
the Anthony house, and soon the shingle
roof of that building was on fire. 1t rap
idly spread throughout the building.
which occupies about one hundred and
fifty feet front ON NJ rkham street and
|all efforts to save it were futile. The
failing walls ON the east crushed in IL

tire block from Pollock u Co. s, adein-
bug the Stoddard bank building ON Main
street To the intersection OF Scott street
ION the east, with the exception ofa small
Ebrick, is now one mass OF runs. 1t is
to estimate the loss at this
flime. There was no insurance ON any
lof the buildings. Very little of the fur
lniture in the Anthony house was saved
lIlle loss of the proprietors, Ciendenn 4
Heay, is estimated at thirty Thousand
dollars, no insurance, The losses o
Lincoln d CO., who saved most of tbeil
drugs, George II Gibbs and the others
lis not yet known. The buildings were
Iall very old, the Anthony having beer
built in 1898 Bernays d Poeck were re.
pairing their store at the time, and had
no stock in it, Wiltshire Il Aliens Law
office was just over this store; they los'
most of their library. Several other of
