The Conf,awra1iou.

We have but little to add to the full details
published yesterday morning. All the facts
given at that time, were obtained from relia-
bic sources, but the losses of few individ-
uals, which were overlooked, we give be.
low:
S. A. Rowland, Merri6elds building, Nor.
ticing machines; loss 5000. No Insurance.
Zion's Church, Exchange st., is insured in
the Peoples Mutual, for $1,000.
Smith Green, Merrifeld's building, shoe
tools; loss $500. No Insurance. Mr.. G.
was quite exhausted in his efforts to save the
property of neighbor, and was taken home
about three o'clock.
Chas. E. Staples, Merrifeld's building, Bit
Stocks; loss about $500. No Insurance.
By an error of the compositors, A. w.
Bixby's loss was put down, in yesterday S
paper, at $4,000. 1t should have been
$4,000.
Cyrus Bliss was not burned out at all. 1t
should have been William r. Bliss Most Of
his stock was saved.
Hitchcock & Muzzy, Merrifeld's Building,
manufacturers of rifle barrels; loss $4,000.
No insurance.
Taber & Chollar's loss is $4,000. Insured
for $4,000 at the Appleton, Boston, and
$500 at the Franklin.
The origin of the fire is still mystery, but
the prevailing opinion is that it was the work
of an incendiary.
All the persons injured are doing well, and
are in fair way to recover.
1t is expected that many of the firms who
were burned out will be able to obtain tempo
rary business locations, in various localities.
The large machine shop, formerly occupied
by Tourtelott, Seyerns, & Co., OH Green and
Washington Streets, and which has been for
some time vacant, can be furnished with an
engine i'll few days, and orders are already
forwarded to various manufacturers to fur
nish one, with the least possible delay. The
Providence Railroad corporation have signi-
fed their willingness to lease their splendid
new depot, on Green Street, for mechanical
purposes, and, in the mean time, the trains

building is of brick, 272 feet long, and so feet
wide, and will accommodate a large number
of workmen.
In addition to these accommodations, the
new stone shop, which is being erected by
our enterprising townsman, Eli Thayer, is
very near completion, and can probably be got
rao6xy for i,,f This
building is few rods south of the Junction.
1t is built of stone, four hundred feet long
and fifty wide, and will be divided into shops
of various sizes, adapted to the wants of ten
alts.
Messrs. William Dickinson, and Draper &
Clark, who have an extensive grist mill, on
Manchester street, have generously offered to
vacate their premises, for the convenience of
less fortunate neighbors, and can furnish
room and motive power to quite a number of
workmen. Let every body keep up their
courage, and let US all help one another as far
as we are able, and it will ere long be seen
that energy and enterprise can repair the
greatest calamities.
We learn that all the tenants of VIM. T.
Merrifeld, met him at his house, last evening,
by invitation, for the purpose of consulting as
to further operations. The best feeling pre-
vailed and there was general desire expressed
by the tenants, to lease OF him, in case he
should rebuild.
There can be little doubt, from the feeling
manifested on this occasion, that Merrifeld S
block will again arise, like Phoenix, from
its ashes.
