DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. The Evans Brothers and J. J .Eisert the Heavy Losers. Qm* Werk by the Fire E»gi«e-Le«*s j -MN *?., *«• [ At about 3:30 o’clock a. m^ on last | Friday morning the Eisert block was I discovered to l>« ou tire. When the | fire was first discovered it was already j under such headway that it could not j be checked until it had destroyed, more than eight thousand dollars j worth or property,goods aud damages | included. It it supposed the fire originated j in Eisert s grocery store. There are ev tdencea to slfow that it originated j there, or ia a vacant room in the rear of the composing room ot the Pres.' office. The fire raged tarribly from the burning ot coal oil aud other combustibles till Eberts grocery store and the room above occupied by the Press office were both eutircly destroyed. Nothing was saved from tnese rooms except a barrel of cider aud one of molasses. The editorial room and business department of the Press office was also gutted by the forked - tongu ed demon. The losses areas follows: Ou Kisert’sbuilding, 13,000; insured for *2,000, on his stock ot groceries, *2,000; insured lor *1,100. Out ho Press office, *2,500; insured for *1.700. The room above Leo’s barber shop, occupied as a business and edit oral room of lhe Press office was burned out ou the insiJe. Lee sustained a loss from removals, as did also Uerridgo on his grocery store, and Coonrod ou hts gun shop, aud Fred Reuss on his harness and sadlery. .The fire eugine did excellent work as soou as it got at work. It was souietune getting in operation owing to the company’s having sometime ago disorganized. Had it not been lor this engine another two story building w ould have been destroyed, the whole of the inside ef the upper story having been already burned out when the nozzle was put in at the window and the fire extinguished in a very short time. The Evans llrothers are completely done up, and will start agaiu under Tery discouraging circumstances. Mr. Eisert is very much damaged, but will have another stock in the Tfafzer building this week, where ho will again resume business. At: out-fit will he purchased, and the Press will be regularly published as heretofore. Rucking the Tiger. There are a great many more citizens in lluutiiighurgh tvhs monthly buck the la»uismia Lottery tiger than is generally supposed. For these a story, which is credited (ien. Ileauregard, the leading spirit iu that great one-sided gambling scheme, may ser ve as a pointer worth serious consideration. Ono of the General’* old soldiers sent him five dollars with the request that the General forward him a winning ticket, as he was always at his I>ost during the vvar and never disobeyed orders. “I came out of the war with hardly clothes enough to cover my naked ness,” he added. The Geueral auswered : “Mv dear comrade I send you a ticket. I hope you will draw a prize aud otter you tills advise. If you stick to the Louisiana Lottery as well as you did to the Southern confederacy you will not have clothes cuougu to wad a shotgun. ’ The story may lie true, or it may not, but there is a great deal ot truth iu it.
