dealers was also considerably damaged by water.
Nothing has yet transpired as to the origin of the
fire. although il is supposed TO have been caused by
the explosion of some the drugs in the basement.
We believe OF the safes yesterday got out
of the ruins the intense heat sill prevailing up to late

merchants were looking for theirs with very natural
anxiety. Mr. Herring, who made some unsuccessful
attempts to reclaim those Of his manufacture, is conf
dent that theywin all come out right.
