Cover the Loss.

A fire broke out last night about 10
( O'Clock in the clothing store OF Samuel
DusGins & Co, No. west Broad street.
An alarm was turned in from box i27,
corner of First and Broad streets, and
engines Nos. 3. and ., Chemical Engine
No and Hook and Ladder Company No.
l at once responded. The fire was under
the direction of Cl.r,f Fuller.
The fire was discovered by young son
Of Simon Sycle, who broke open the front
door before tie department arrived. The
blaze seemed 10 be entirely on the first
floor.
On the arrival of the department three
streams were at once put into the house
and also the Chemical Engine, and after
a half an hours fight the fire was under
control, and after another half an hours
work the back tap was sounded ana the
fire was out.
WHERE IT STARTED.
During the lighting a hole was cut
through the floor to let the water into The
cellar and stream was sent down
through one of the cellar doors. but this
was found to he unnecessary. as the IRE
had not reached that part OF the building.
The blaze started in closet on the risEt
of the store and seemed TO- nave cauSiit
the entire interior of the room. but dld
not spread to any other part of the build
ing.
The fire appeared to be the work OF an
incendiary. rs there was nothing in this
closet which could start blaze. Inc
blaze was not caused by the electric wires
in the house as the arc-lisht in front OF
the building was burning brightly when
the department arrived.
STOCK WAS INSURED.
The stock in the store was badly dam
aged and a great deal is totally destroyed.
The stock is insured for SC, 0Go: $1,000 in the
Virginia State Insurance Company, anu
ssCpO with julius Straus & Son, general
insurance agents The building is owned
by Mr. Thomas Todd and is slightly dam
aged. but it is covered by Insurance.
When the department arrived at the
scene the men did MT notice IN tse

was open, and r. r. Burrus and DAVID
