Amiet's aanasome Besidence Burned. On Monday morning about 10 o'clock fire was diseoveied in the kitchen of the handsome residence of Mr. Jeff B. Amick on upper Maih street, and before help could be summoned, the building, with very nearly all the contents, were totally burned down. It was by the most desperate and heroic efforts of those who answered the call of the "bucket brigade" that the residence of Mr. John Caughman, which is near Mr. Amick's, was saved. It is thought that the firp originated from the stove. There was no one in the house at the time, Mrs. Amick being at work in the garden and the children were at school. Mr. Amick's loss is considerable, as his residence was one of the most handsome in that part of town, and valued at about $2,500. It is said that the insurance on the building amounted to $1,250, but there was no insurance on the household goods and the clothing of the entire family was lost. Democrats Organize.
