Had this fire broken out late at night, I
and any balk occurred either in the fire |
department or the water works, this morn |

Sedalia ever witnessed.
THE SCENE THIS MORNING
in Brown Bros is disastrous one. The I,
store that only yesterday morning was .
model of neatness, with its we'll filled
shelves, is now almost empty, dark, damp
and dirty. In their store Rooms up stairs
is pnIpy mass mixed up in indescribable
confusion. Books, collars, fancy ARTICLES
and Thousand and one articles of a like
nature are scattered about in = ruined condi-
ton. Major Gesf and other insurance men
were on hand. ard the work ot appointing
appraisers, etc, 10 estimate the damage was
IN active progression. When the result Of
their iahor- shall have been made known,
a correct estimate of the total damage will
be given.
THE ORIGIN
Of the fire could not be ascerisined. Some
are inclined 10 think it the work of an in
cendiary, and Others appear to think it the
result of accident. 1t was first discovered
and the alarm given by Mr.. Vim. p. Jack.
