The building was occupied by Mrs. SWEET, as a millinery store, and \V. I). RIDGWAY, as a lunch room. The origin of the tire seems to he shrouded in a good deal of mystery. The second story of the building was occupied by Mr. RIDGWAY as a dwelling.' He says he awoke to iind the room full of smoke and tire, and he and his family barely escaped. It is quite probable that the fire caught in the upper part of the building. Air. RIDGWAY lost all his household goods and clothing. The goods hi the stores were all removed, together with counters, &c. Tne building was owned by HENRY STREETER, Esq. Mr. RIDGWAY'S loss on furniture is 8 insured for §4OO, Loss on stock $ ; in sured for §4OO. Mrs. SWEET'S loss from damage to goods is considerable, but is probably covered by in surance. Air.
