A DISASTROUS FIRE.
A Work of IlnlnTwo Stores
and two Private Residences
llarned,
As was stated in the News of y ester
day, tbe alarm of fire was given yester
day morning abeut 3.15 o'clock, from
the store ol La wis & Jones, on Hills
boro Avenue, near tne railway crossing,
l he buildiug was in a briet space of
time a mass of flame, and the store
next door,owned by Rush Jolly, caught
at once. The great distance caused
the time before the fire comuaniea
reached the scene to be long, and the
tUmts spread west to tbe residence of
R. W. Best. Esq., which was soon de
stroyed. East of the burning build
ings, on tbe same block, stood the resi
dence of the veuerable Airs. Drake. It
was at diet thought that this would be
saved, but it soou shared the fate of
the other buildings.
1 lie store of .Lewis fc Jones was a
two story frame buildioir. with a stock
of general merchandise. The entire
contents were destroyed; nothing was
saved. The loss on stock was about
4,0 j0, ou building 15J0. On the
former there was an insurance of
$2,000, in tne Etna. No insurance was
neid ou the buildiug.
1 he store of Mr. Jolly was a small
frame, one story structure, bat tilled
with a stock of ttoods valued at about
$1500. 'lhe building was worth abost
f500. Both were a total loss. No in
surance was held on either.
Ihe dwelling house of Mr. Best was
a handsome edifice, of wood, two sto
ries high. It was entirely destroyed,
uui au me nousehold property was
saved. The loss ou the building, on
which no insurance was held, is about
3,000.
The house of Mrs. Drake, which was
one of the sandmarksof the street, was
also uninsured. It was of woo J, two
stoiies in height, and valued at about
l,5i0. Ine lurniture, etc, was
saved.
It was feared for a time that the fire
would spread to the next block, but
the firemen were prepared for it. The
Chemical engine was first on the scene
lollowed by me Victor and Hook and
Ladder Companies. All did good
work as far as possible. The hoe of
the engines was so frozen that it re
juued tnawing to be tit for use. There
wereuowatr facilities, a well beinj
tue only means anywhere near by. So
all that oould be aone was to prevent
W4 i ii0 names, ana this was
difficult, as a great shower of heavy
tl,kes of fire fell for many blocks
away.
Mr. Willie Lewis, a son of A. Y.
Lewis, Esq., and one of the proprietors,
skpt over Jones 4 Lewis' store. About
3 o clock a butcher was driving by and
heard a noise as of some one walking.
A momeat after some one ran to a
irout wiudow. He drove on and soon
heard the cry of tire. Not long after
wards Mr. Lewis jumped out of the
wmdow, fell on a shed and tbence to
the sidewalk. The fall broke his right
arm, besides injuring his hip seriously.
He was also badly burned. A gentle-
fmn took the sufferer across the street
where he was looked sfter. He re
mained unconscious and speechless.

morniug when he spoke infr' Utly
c puyeicians proixctfcrwaTd-ie esse a

recoreiy: Tueioas by the fire proves a
great hardship to those upon whom
it fell, who nearly all lose their all.

Bbeumatiie is a Disease of the
Blood.
The blood in this disease, is found to con
tain an excess of fibrin. Vegetine acts by
converting the blood from its diseased con
dition to a healthy circulation. One bottle
of Vegetine will give relief, but to effect a
permanent cure it must be taken regularly,
and may take several bottles, especially in
tses oi long stanuing.
