About 7 o'clock Thursday night the dry house connected with A. D. Streight's chair factory, located on Georgia street, between Missouri and West streets, caught fire, and with its contents was almost totally consumed. It was filled completely with lumber prepared for use in the manufacture of chairs, and, being dry, the Department was unable to extinguish the flames. The fire is supposed to have been caused by an over-heated furnace. As the lumber was largely composed of walnut the loss will be somewhat heavy, and will probably reach $4,000 or $5,000. The property is insured, but that on this particular portion will not be heavy enough to cover the loss. It is impossible to give the exact loss or insurance, as neither Mr. Streight nor any one having the information could be found, the former being out of the city. It is not thought, however, that the loss will exceed the above figures. The fire burned until an early hour this morning, and was particularly bright, causing many persons at first to believe that it was Kingan's Pork House.
