FIRE DESTROYS CLOTHING STORE Moyer Company Suffers Loss „ of $50,000 to $60,000 in Dawn Blaze. Fire at undetermined origin destroyed the Moyer clocking store, 137-13!) West Washington street, today, causing a loss estimated at from $50,000 to SOO,OOO, rhlch is partly covered Dy Insurance. A man living In a flat on Kentucky avenue discovered the firs at 4:12 o'clock and sent in the alarm. When Battalion Chief O'Brien reached the scene he found the building a veritable furnace and sent in a general alarm, following It four minutes later with a second alarm. The Moyer store has occupied the building less than two months, the building having been remodeled at a coat of $20,000. The building Is a fonr-story brick structure extending half way back to Kentucky avenue and from that point H is one story high and fronts on Kentucky avenue. ONLY GLASS BROKEN ON KENTUCKY AVENUE SIDE. The Kentucky avenue side of the building was not damaged except for broken glass. i When the firemen reached the building the flames were making their way up the elevator shaft to the upper floors and within a few moments burst through the roof. Burning brands were carried' to the roofs of other buildings by the twind. Almost no stock was on the three upper floors of the building, but the first floor contained a large stock of women's clothing as well as a line of men’s furnishings. This stock appears to be a total loss. Benjamin Moyer, proprietor of thestore, was notified by a Times reporter of the fire. He said his stock was valued at about $50,000, and that it was only partly Insured. The Moyer building formerly was occnp'ed by the Harmon & Hall Hardware Company, and is part of an estate owned by -Tames M. Winters, John E. Hollett and T. L. Sullivan, who are represented by the Union Trust Company. Mr. Moyer had a long lease on the building. A few windows were broken from the rear of the Ideal Furniture Company's building, but the damage was slight. A heavy fire wall prevented the flames from reaching the Peoples Outfitting Company's store, but the room was filled with dense clouds of smoke. A loss of $2,000 was caused by a Are that destroyed a two-story frame house at 11(5 North Riley avenue last night. The residence was unoccupied.
