The Cecil Manor Fire.

The destruction by fire of Col. t.
Egenton Hogg's costly residence near
Port Deposit on the evening of the 9th
inst, was the most disastrous contiagra-
ton that ever occurred in Cecil county.
A gentleman who lives in the immediate
vicinity of Cecil Manor says, that the fire
first appeared under the roof in one
corner of the building, and rapidly
spread throughout the entire interior of
the house. The residence from which
fortunately the expensive furniture had
been removed to an adjacent residence
recently occupied by Col. Hogg, was
constructed and fitted of the finest
materials and cost about $127 900. on
which there was insurance amounting to
S55, COO. In the cellar OF the residence
sixty tons of coal were stored.
The New York Daily Commercial
Bulletin, September 8, says: "There
will likely be interesting legal complica-
tions in regard to the burning of T. Egen
ton Hogg's handsome dwelling, Cecil
Manor Md. The house, which was
destroyed Monday, was insured for $780,
900. The list of companies interested
appears in our fire record. 1t seems that
at the time of the fire Hogg was suing
the contractors, and was himself being
| sued by the plumber. 1t is inferred
| from Mr.. Hogg's statements to the COM
panies that he was dissatisfied with the
| work done by the contractors, whom he
had promptly paid, and thinks the
specifications were not complied with.
Everyone had been paid except the
plumber. The burning of the house
destroys the most material evidence
which could have been submitted. MIR.
| Hogg, however, we hear, had several
experts inspect the premises some time
ago. A meeting of the companies inter-
ested was held yesterday, at which Mr..
| Hogg was invited to be present. He
| attended, and all the companies were
| represented except those of Philadelphia
| A committee, consisting of the Sun, oil
London, Home, (or account of Liberty,
and America, of Philadelphia, was
appointed to adjust the loss. Mr.. Hoge
feels very much disturbed regarding the
fire, and states that he will himself ado
an equal sum to any reward the com,
panies may offer up to IS, 900 for the dis
covery of the incendiary. 1t is believed
the national board will give $1,000,
which, with the same sum from MIR.
Hogg would make total of 81, 900
