FIRE AT HYArTsvrLLE,


which Destroyed Good Deal OF
Properly.
serious conflagration occurred at by
aNsville on Saturday evening which
threatened destruction to the dcpots aud
warehouses of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road Company and several buildings be-
longing to the Hyatt estate, and threw tho
village into state of intense excitement.
About 8 o'clock in tho evening o cry Of
fire was sounded from the handsome brick
building owned by tho Hyatt heirs and oc-
cupied as the postofiice, the grocery store Of
Mr.. ]. NJ. Tinker, the meeting rooms OF
Hyattsville Lodge, /. o. o. Mechanics, ETC.
The fire Is supposed to have originated
from the explosion or breaking of lantern
carried by colorod man, who had gone to
the cellar for some cider. The fire spread
rapidly, and the entire building was soon
enwrapped in flames. The citizens organized
FIRE department for tho emergency, and
telegraphod TO the Baltimore & Ohio
authorities in this city for aid. Tho first
efforts were directed to saving tho mail
from the postoftice and tho safes containing
tho funds of the Mechanics Lodge, and the
money and papers of Mr.. Tinker, aud this
was successfully accomplished.
All efforts to check tho flames or save any
considerable portion of the contents Of the
building were Intellectual and the total
stock, valued at $4,000, was destroyed, while
the building was also totally wrecked,
every destructible part of it being con-
sumed.
Az this time both the now and old depots
of the Baltimore g. Ohio Company were in
imminent danger, and tho large Franc
warehouses became ignited from flying
sparks and were rapidly consumed. The
freight stored in the warehouse was re-
moved by citizens to places of safety, but
the warehouse was completely destroyed.
The fire continued to shoulder all day yes
terday and had not been entirely extin-
guished this morning. The losses have not
been estimated, but arc very heavy.
The only person sustaining personal in
juries was Emery Kent, the colored porter
Of Tinker's grocery, who was painfully
burned.
