On Sunday morning at about 80
O'clock, the store building of j. w. Scott,
at Maynard, in Colerain tp., was discov
cred to be on fire. Some few people were
soon aroused, and succeeded in getting
out snme 25 or 80 kegs of powder stored
in the basement of the building, which
probably saved a terrible casualty. 1t
was sunn discovered that nothing else
could be saved. A window was broken
in and an eudeavor made to secure the
books, which were kept near, but they
were already destroyed. The loss on
stock and building was total and mos
serious one to the energetic and live but
siness man, Mr.. Scott. The loss on stock
is estimated at fully $4,000, and 5000 on
building; on which there was an insur-
ance on stock of $1,000. and $500 on the
building, cerried by the North American,
of Philadelphia. The fire seems to have
originated from burglars, who had blown
open the safe, and either set fire to the
store maliciously. or it may have caught
from the effect of the explosion, as dry
goods were used to deaden the sound.
it is supposed the burglars got about $40.
the contents of the safe, for their trouble,
and the large amount of damage done.
