On Thursday morning of last week about ten minutes to eight a fire broke out in Armstrong's dry - goods store. Alarm was given, but before the firemen were aIle to play upon it the lire had made consider- able progress. For an hour and a half' the flames steadily gained ground and it seemed as if the whole block would be burned. The great- er part of the population of our town was present at the scene. Three streams poured upon the fire, but the high wind was against them and it is certain the whole ,block would have been burned had it not been for the brick walls between the stores. Armstrong's store. with the millinery attached, Calbick's book -store and the Grand Opera, [louse were entire- ly destroyed, besides all the damage done to shops on both side::, as Mr. Grundy's grocery, Mr. Robinson's dry -good stare, hiss Pitcher's nimbi - cry. Mr. I3lhickstone's restaurant, Di'. Richardson's cdentistry office, Mr. Mitchell, of Star office, the telegraph office of H. Armstrong, and Harry Hart's equipments of the Opera House. The total loss is estimated at ;":30,000 and most of the above carried insurance, exeept Mr. Cal - 'Wel:. He also had the additional misfortune of receiving• severe in- juries during the fire.
