FIRE CAUSES LOSS.
Bicycle Establishment, Tin Store, Bar
Room and Laundry Involved.

Bicycle Establishment, Tin Store, Bar
Room md Laundry Involved.
There was a fire in Southeast Washing
ton, about 1870 o'clock this morning, which
destroyed a bicycle establishment and bad
ly damage tin store bar room and Chi
nese laundry. The buildings are on the
west side of Sth street between D and E
streets and belong to the Esputa estate.
Damage to the extent of 81 200 was report
ed by the police, but persons who lost by
the fire say the damage was considerably
in excess of that amount.
According to the police report, the flames
started in the bicycle establishment of
Drew & Goodman and spread to the other
borhood declare that the fire started in
one of the other buildings, one report be-
ing that it originated in the laundry James
Goodwin, a young man in the employ OF
the bicycle firm, was asleep in rear room
of the shop. and he had narrow escape
from suffocation. The flames had made
great headway in the store before he was
awakened. Another young man who oc-
cupies the room with him was away at the
time.
The building occupied by the bicycle deal
ers is an old two-story frame structure,
and it was with considerable trouble that
the firemen were able to prevent its COM
plete destruction. The other buildings are
one-story structures, and they were all
badly damaged.
Joseph Hodgson's tin store adjoined the
building occupied by the bicycle firm, and
next to this was Smiths bar room, while
Moy Ongs laundry was nearest the corner
of E street. This morning Moy Ong was
the only one of the four business men who
was able to continue business. and he could
do his washing only under great difficulty.
MIR. Drew of the bicycle firm said the loss
on stock in his place would amount to
about 81, 400 while there was an insurance
on it of only s4OO. The buildings were all
insured.
