THE MANYINGToN FIRE.-The fire oriei
mated in the buildings on Water street,
near the lower bridge, and owned by T.
Erwin and j. S. Hess Tile fire was
placed on the sill Immediately under and
between the two buildings, and as sha>
wings were seen falling down, there can
be little doubt that it was the work of an
incendiary intent on the destruction of
our village. The fire had made consid-
cradle progress before it was discovered;
and had it not been for the timely aid
of the Dramatic Society, who had not
yet retired, the flames conld not have
been checked. When the front door of
he room which / occupy was burst open,
the flames rushed out to distance of SIX
feet over our heads. But fully determine
ed to do all in our power to arrest the
rapidly increasing flames, the citizens
rushed into the room and threw water
in manner not equalled by any other
set of men / ever saw in sfuss" at fire.
The room was so hot that the tiuware
was smelted and destroyed. The entie
ceiling was ablaze, and had 1t not been
for the steam generated from the water
by the intense heat, nothing could have
saved us from total destruction. Fortu-
nately, the buildings were not damaged
more than $500.
J. S. Hess lost his entire stock of jewel
ry, except few articles which he had
taken home with him. His loss, inclu-
ding building, cannot be less than $500.
No insurance. Erwin sustained but a
slight loss, getting $l07 insurance. Mr..
Basnett's loss has not yot been adjusted,
but it cannot fall below 81 ,sO0-insur-
ance. ~
