boldt, s. 900; City Of New Haven, q, 900. The
injury to the building is thus fully covered.
No. IS was occupied on the main floor and the
two upper stories BY Measrs. Weber, Williams
i Tale, Wholesale dealers in hats, caps and
straw goods. Their LOGS rs it stands, is from
damage by water, their premises being thor
ougbly drenched. 1t one time their premises
were in imminent danger, but saved through
great e1ertion. They pursued course mer-
chants similarly circumstanced would do wcllto
initiate. When tie rush was made to save
their store, every cage was open and their con-
tents scattered. Mr. Weber insisted that moth
ing should be moved, but set every assistant and
all that could lie employed at putting the goods
into cases and mailing them up. This was done
With every case. In the event Of needing to
have cleared the store, the goods.Would hare
goae into the street in short order, but safe and
sound. As it is, the firm will hare " Grand
0peaing" for some days to come. IN the food
ed condition Of tbs premises the underwriters
are largely the gamers BY Mr. Webee's FORE
thought, though the loss is still considerable
large fresh stock Of goods was just being got
up from the depot yesterday, from their partner
now at the East, but fortunately had not reached
the store. They will be all right in q day or
two.

ses were badly Hooded with water, caused By
about $500. It was owned by Peter Page, who
had On both stores an insurance Of $4,000.
The loss of Mr. Price in the falling Of The
wall upon his premises Is serious one. The
horses and carriages had been got out in sea,
sou, but the loft was filled With valuable s1eighs
belonging to him and sarious other parties fol
whom he was storing them, These were all
carried through to the cellar, taking in Their
route FIVE tables from the billiard room, valued
at $450 each. The building is owned By n. r.
Gray, and was valued at 81, 900, and the iusu
rance on building aud stock was 10000 in ths
Peoria. Humboldt and Hartford Offices. Tht
insurance Oh the building itself was s5, 900
$1,000 Of which was in the NcB Haven CITY In
surance Company.
Tic loss, which is heavy in the aggregate
falls u1ainly, as it will be seen, upon partie
whomit will only temporarily affect, but coming
at this time upon houses prominent in ou
wholesale trade, and in this the heart of ihei
busy season, it involves far more than the mer
destruction OF goods. The houses who are til
sufferers will make the delay light one, how
ercr. Before noon yesterday, Messrs. Barrett
King 4 Co., had tclegraphed to their manufae
turers in Utica. y, T., to increase their fore
and replace their stock ut once. Fortunatel
the portion Of their goods destroyed are anon
the lines just now out Of season. They will b
ready for the trnde again in few days. an
before Convention week will be cut as st1ongl
a. before.
: We learn that yesterday afternoon the Inst
rance Agents, Aessrs. 0msted L Co., had give
orders for the immediate repair Of the building
is known as to the origin Of the fire.
