Pail . Z store jenry C. 3 py between Four-and-a-half and Sixth sts , which spread very epidly, soon communicating with adjoining buildiogs on either side, de- stroying nearly one hundred thousand dollars’ worth of y. The leading cause of the fire Proving so uctive may be stated in the fact that on yesterday the Potomac water was shut off from the avenue, from Eighth st.west to the Na Yard, by order of the Government, leaving all that section of the city in nocondition to suppress aconflagration. When discovered, the fire had communicated through several stories of Purdy’s iding, and i time made its way into the house of M: .G. et which “— — pied principally by Mr. E. Stever, plum! ee Fai fitter. rh 4 BS ‘was soon ae in flames; and the adjoinin; east. owned by the estate of Raphael Semmes,was next firedand destroyed. This house was occupied as a grocery store and dwelling, by Mr. William C. arper, and was wholly destroyed, together with the entire stock and furniture of the occupant. ‘The flames idly spread to the next house. owned by Mr. John M. Young, coach maker, and occupled by him asa coach factory; nearly all his stock of carriages, lumber, unfinished work, m: terials of all kinds, and tools, were destroyed, together with the entire building. The build- ing, as our readers are aware, was formerly the Adelphi Theatre. The fire had made such headway now, that although the water hed been turned into the mains. no efforts of the firemen could avail to stop it. The house owned by Mur- ray & Semmes, and occupied by that firm in the grocery trade, was entirely destroy thongh the major part of the stock was saved, ina oars coudition Adjoining the coach factory of Mr. Jobn M Young, the coach factory of Mr. Thomas Young was slightly damaged; the stock was not removed nor damaged. memory | Harper's store on the west, the building owned by Mr. Jobn P- lagle, and occupied by Mr. Jobn F. Bridget, coacbmaker, was considerably damaged. Mr. B. saved a large portion cf bis stock of carriages and materials. ~ The drill armory of the Washington Light In- pay. was situated in the fifth story of Philip's "building, and all their effects, consisting of unt- forms, accoutrements, flags, valuable paintings, _furniture, cases, ete., were destroyed. ‘heir pri- ‘vate loas is $500 to $900, inde; ntof the Gov- ervment property, which consisted of 260 sets of equipments complete, and 40 drill muskets. The company lose 120 new knapsacks, 54 pictures, 250 to 300 volumes of books, 15 or 20 full uniforms, 1 company flag, and other articles the value of which cannot be accurately ascertained. The battalion tent equi page tad m removed to the National Armory. The insurance policy on the paca in their armory had only expired a few ays elow we give a statement of the lossessustained and the amoont of insurance, so far as we are able to ascertain through the courtesy of the ayents of the several insurance companies which suffer by the fire Philips’s house, valued at $12,000.

The books were inaared in the Etna Company (Hartford) for nies for $3,000 and fremen’s, Franklin, nies for £5,000, 85,000, 81,000. Mr Purdy informs us that his store, when he reached It, was on fire in as many as five different places; that his safe was broken open and $600 abstracted therefrom. The store was entered, be - thinks, from the rear see oe which a quan- tity of straw was piled burning when the fire was first discovered The several fire companies were present and rendered yood service, as soon as the water could be gotat. Their exertions, as well as those of the watchmen, In saving the goods of the occupants of the buildings destroyed, are worthy of all praise.
