A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The large three-story building occu-
pied as distillery by H. I. Jasper, situ-
ated between Burnett and Patton streets,
on the west bank of the Licking, was
destroyed by fire between one and two
O'clock this morning. The fremen sum-
moned by an alarm reported promptly,
but on account OF the great distance to
the fire, the contents were almost
wholly destroyed when they arrived,
much assistance except to adjoining
buildings. The loss was estimated at
about $50, 900, as the building at the time
contained between 800 and 400 barrels Of
whisky and about 1900 bushels Of malt.
the insurance amounts to about $780,
900, nearly all in Cincinnati Companies.
The little hamlet known as Finchtown
is situated Immediately opposite the dis
tillery, and the fire was u big scare 10
most of its inhabitants. The burned
building was not used for distilling pur-
poses since last March, and from this
fact 1t is supposed that the fire was the
work of an incendiary.
While the fire was raging James
Myers, Of the Main-street Hose Com
pany, at the peril of his life mounted a
Shed adjoining the main building, and
there fought the fire, and saved the resi-
dence of Mr.. Hinkhaus. At one time it
was thought that Meyers had perished
in the flames, but he came out Without
scratch.
While the burning whisky flowed
down the ravlhe into the Licking river,
James Warrington, bold fireman.,
started to cross it with a line OF hose.
He however made his leap; but had his
hand fearfully burned and his clothes
scorched.
All the books and papers belonging TO
the establishment were burned, and
when we closed our report Mr.. Jasper
had not yet returned from over the river,
and the exact amount ofinsurance could
not be ascertained, though it is though
to be about $50, ,O00.' About three weeks
ago new line Of water-Works were
laid on the burned street. Had it not
been for this the loss would surely have
been considerably more.
From the Ticket: "Orrin B. HalIum
