Disastrous Fire.
Reported for the Beacon

Reported for the Beacon
On Friday night last, between 10 and II
o'clock, the store house and dwelling be-
longing to John G. Cryer, Esq, took fire
and was totally destroyed. A large sock
of merchandise contained in the store
house shared the fate of the buildings
As far as We can learn, the facts about the
burning, they are these-Mr. Cryer had
retired about o'clock and when closing
his store for the night discovered nothing
unusual. About II o'clock he was ava
kened by loud explosion, and, running
out in his yard, discovered that the store
house, which was attached to the western
end of his dwelling, was mass of ruins,
and that the dwelling had ignited. Bare
time was given him 10 awaken q nephew,
Ernest Cryer, who was sleeping on the
second floor of his dwelling, who had slept
through the whole time, and who was still
asleep when Mr.. Cryer dragged him out
OF bed. Mr.. Cryer, with the assistance OF
MIR. Powell. succeeded in saving q small
portion of the furniture, but the mad fury
of the flames soon laid the dwelling In
ashes. Mr.. Cryer in attempting to save q
little canary bird, pet Of the family, came
very near losing his own Life by suffocation,
without avail.
The wife of Mr.. Cryer, with his two
brothers, George and Edward, and his
clerk, Joseph Mattingly, were attending q
hop at Moore's Hotel in this village. His
children had been left at Mr. Frank Leach's
until the return Of the mother. We Nigh,
have had sadder facts to chronicle but for
this.
Mr.. Cryer estimates his entire loss ii
about 5000, upon which he has an insur.
snce as follows: Baltimore Fire, OIL ,0G0;
Mt Vernon Of Alexandra 81 900; Poto-
mac of Baltimore $1,000, and American
of Baltimore $1,000.
A policy of $500 on household furniture
was issued on Friday at noon and was in
transit to the agent Joseph F. Morgan,
when the fire occurred. It is thought this
policy will cover all the furniture.
Edward Cryer, a brother of Mr.. Cryer,
who has been employed as clerk i'm his
brothers store, had determined TO 60 70
Fhiladelphia on Sunday and had had q
settlement with his brother, receiving about
$500 in money. This he had put in q va
lise and LEFT in his room while attending
the hop and it was destroyed. A consid.
cradle amount Of paper money was des.
troyed in the store and some silver, esd.
mated at about 500. Some Of the silver
has been found, but in such state that ID
only valuable as old silver.
