CITY INTELLIGENCE

Fires. The fire about | O'Clock, Yesterday
morning, originated in the shoe store of Mi.
Taylor, north side of Pratt-st. a few doors
west Of Light-st his entire stock of shoes as
destroyed, but his loss is covered by insurance
in the Merchants office, in the sum of $1,000.
The flames soon communicated TO the store
adjoining, separated only by a board parti-
ton,) occupied by Mr.. William Proctor, as
hardware establishment and though he is in
sured to the amount of $500 in the Baltimore
Fire Insurance Company, it is feared it will
not cover the loss sustained in the destruction
and injury of his large stock of goods The
buildings belong to Mr. Thomas Ferguson,
and are insured in the Firemen's office for
s. 5o0-which will probably repair the da-
images. During the fire an explosion took
place, which in jured brick WALL but did no
personal harm. The iremen prevented the
flames from spreading. Il is not known how
the fire originated.
The fire about clock yesterday afternoon,
originated in house in Waterloo row, ownel
by Mr., Thomas R. Hand, and insured in the
Fremen's office. The rear and upper part of
the house was entirely destroyed It was I'M
occupied at the time, and the presumption is
that it was designedly fired. The house adj
