Special Correspondence EVENING Journal.
CHRsYIANA, March ~ The warmest
sympathy is expressed by the people Of
this town and vicinity over the calamity
that has befallen Edward McCallster.
While there was no one home but Mrs
McCallister the fire broke out yesterday
morning about 10 o'clock in Che house
and before aid reached there the fire
was too far under way to extingush.
There was very little time for removing
any of the contents from the house. A
piano, sewing machine, half dozen chairs.
one bed and bedstead, and several other
articles were all that were saved. All
the clothes Of the family, excepting what
they had on, were consumed, together
with some money and nearly all the
second and third story furniture. The
loss is considerable.
The building was insured in the Farm
ers' Mutual Insurance Company for
81, 200. The contents were insured in
the New York Agricultural Company for
$3.50.
The building was estimated TO be worth
81, 800. and contents, $700; total, So, 500;
insurance total, $i,450 total net loss,
81. .050.
There are several conflicting reports
about how the fire started, or what part
of the house It originated in, but all that
can be definitely said about how or where
1t ignited, is that II started in the upper
stories, and cause Of the fire unknown.
The family are quartered in the neigh
boring farm houses, and will stay with
relatives until the house is rebuilt. A
large number Of people went to offer as
sistance, but many Of them arrived too
late
A very delightful evening social was
given at the residence Of AFR. B. J.

sion, but Mr. Brooks having met with a
