DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BROOKLYN.
New YORK, Jan. 6.-About 1870 this
morning fire was discovered in the ex-
tensivs crockery and fancy ware establish
ment of Ovington Bros, Brooklyn, and in
an hour the store and contents were com
pletely destroyed. The fire originated just
back of the Office, and was caused by boy
| dropping the lamp as he was about to
| kindle fire in the stove. The lamp fell
| where paper and straw were scattered
about, and in a moment the flames spread
| over the floor and to the Office partition.
The boy was so frightened that he failed
to give the alarm, and there was much de-
| lay in notifying the fire department. In
fact, the building was doomed before the
arrival of the first engine. The Clinton
house adjoining caught fire several times,
and is much damaged by fire and water.
The guests of the house fed to the streets,
some of the late risers only partially
dressed. Ovington Bros. dealt in finer
grades of crockery, elegant bronzes,
clocks and all description of fancy ware.
The loss is heavy, but is not yet ascer-
tanned. 1t is fully covered by insurance,
however. The stock was greatly diminished
during the holiday trade, and had not been
replenished since to any great extent; SO
the loss will not fall so heavily upon the
firm as under other circumstances. Owing
ton Bros. estimate the loss at
$250,000 on their store. Besides bric-a-
brac were a number of valuable
oil paintings which could not be saved.
