The fire yesterday afternoon was caused by the burning of a large frame warehouse adjoining the Hemingray Glass Works, at the foot of Madison street. The building was filled with glass ware packed in straw, and a high wind prevailing at the time, the fire burned rapidly. The fire department were promptly on the ground, and succeeded in checking the flames before the building was entirely destroyed. The principal loss will be upon stock stored in the warehouse. We did not learn the extent of the loss or insurance.
