ayune is among those destroyed, and very
little Of It's contents was saved. The tota
loss will probably reach half a million, an,
is mostly insured in this city.
The fire is supposed TO have been the
work OF an incendary. Five Fire Insur.
ance Offices were burned. There wa:
insurance in the New York Sun and Mn
tual Offices TO the amount of $sl50,000. /
Is estimated tina, the total loss will be ovel
a million Of dollars.
