DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Between 7 and 8 o'clock this morning the large flour mill in this city, owned by your neighbors, Messrs. William and John James, of South street, was discovered on fire, and although every exertion was made by the well organized fire department of this city, ten thousand bushels of wheat, valued at more than $10,000, were destroyed, besides a considerable quantity of flour, the exact amount of which I could not learn. The grain and flour were the property of the occupants, Messrs. Sage and Kennady, who were only insured for $6,000. It is believed that the building and machinery were insured by the owners in New York.
