DISASTROUS FIRE IN WoRogsrER.-At half
past eleven o'clock last night fire broke out
in the building upon Manches, er street, known
as Litch's shop, owned by Alvin Waite. and
occupied in the basement by Joseph S. Clark
& Co., for planning and box making, and in
the upper stories by Lamb & Foster, and Til
ly Raymond, carpenters. The building was
soon completely in flames, which communica-
ted to the carpenters shop of Dennis & Lee,
adjoining, and thence to the extensive grist
mill of the Messrs Sutton, all of which were
destroyed.
The heat of the confagration was so intense
that the flames soon crossed the street, and
communicated to the large Malleable Iron
Foundry and Machine Shops of Waite Chad
sey, s Co., upon the opposite side, which were
soon reduced to a heap of ruins Thence the
fire communicated to a large wooden dwelling
house beyond, owned by Col. Rufus Hastings,
of Sterling, and occupied by three or four Ger.
man families, which was also destroyed, the
inmates being able to save only part of their
furniture
Owing to the combustible nature of the
buildings, it was with the greatest difficulty
that the ire was prevented from spreading
farther and great credit is due to the fremen
for their laborous efforts to check its progress
at this point The loss cannot fall much, if
any, short of sixty thousand dollars, al part
only of which is covered by insurance.
Messrs. Waite, Chadsey. & Co. estimate
their loss at about $25, 900, upon which they
have insurance as follows: Northwestern In
surance Co., N. Y, $4,000; Hartford City,
$1,000; Hampden, Springfield, $500; Con-
way Mutual, $500, and Keystone, Philadel-
phia, $500.
The loss of Joseph ). Clark & Co., is esti-
mated at about SIX thousand dollars. They
had valuable stock of dry lumber on hand,
all Of which was consumed, and they have no
insurance.
Dennis s Lee are partially insured at the
Fitchburg Mutual
Lamb & Fosters loss comparatively triaing,
and no insurance.
The mills OF the Messrs Sutton were filed
with large stock of grain, and their loss must
be very heavy. a portion of it is covered by
insurance, but the amount we could not learn
last night
The brick engine house and machine shop
of the Worcester & Nashua Railroad, which
stands within five feet of the Iron Foundry of
w. c. & Co., which was destroyed, was saved
with its valuable contents by the iron shutters
that were attached to the windows only week
since.
Nothing definite is known as TO the origin
of the fire, but the probabilities are that it was
the work of an incendiary.
The engineer ofone of the trains of the Bos-
ton and Worcester, Railroad r, ports that two
minutes before the alarm was given, he saw,
while the locomotive was passing to the lower
depot, man standing in the doorway of the
building where the fire originated
