EXTENSIVE CoErLAoRATIoN. -TMM.NsE
Destruction OF PROPERTY One Of the
most extensive and destructive fres that
we have Witnessed for Il number of wears
occurred in this city on Sunday morning
last. Between The hours OF twelve and
one o'clock, flames were seen issuing f.cu
'he Foundry Of Mcssrs. Taylor & 90. i,
situated on George street, which being a
frame structure, and very dry, soon en-
veloped the entire building. The Round
House Of the 3. & 0. Il. Co being near
the foundry, was considerably damaged
All the contiguous buildings with the
foundry were entirely destroyed b. the
flames. The wind was blowing furiously,
and the flames rapidly increasing to such
an extent tliat the efforts of the fremcn
seemed unavailing in arrcst;ng the prog
ress Of the deyouring clement, and it vas
at one time feared that the buildings on
both sides Of George street would be con-
sumed, thereby causing an apprehension
that the St. Nicholas Hotel, the Barnum
and Revere Houses would Also be dcs-
troycd, but, thanks to our noble frcmcn,
the further progress of the flames was
checked, and this vast amount Of property
saved from destruction. The Machine
Shop together with Pattern Shop and all
the Patterns contained within were also
destroyed; the Railroad Warcrooms and
Timer Shop, six Dwelling Houses, five
(which were occupied, Blacksmith Shop,
and an Office, were burned to the ground.
A lot of furniture belonging to the fanii-
lies who were so suddenly rendered house
less, was destroyed.
The loss is estimated at $50, 900, which
is partially covered by insurance.
The FIRE originated from the furnace in
the foundry, which ignitcd the building
and thus caused most destructive con-
aagration
