+ The lowest building burnt belonged 70
the estate Of Joseph Wilkerson. deceSsed.
; occupied by Mr.. r; g. Waidron as drv
goods store We learn he was insured for
$4,000. Most Of his goods, to the vali,c of
$4,000 or $4,000 were removed. but much
damaged. The building WAS also partially
, insured. Mr.. Guthman,, occupying the next
store, was insured for $1,000. His stock of
goods, valued at about $1,000 or $4,000,
was entirely destroyed.
DR.. Thomas B. Carr, who resided above
the store OF Mr.. Guthman, lost everything,
including his vlental instruments, library.
which was very valuable, furniture. Clothing,
&c. DR.. Carr's loss is estimated at $4,000,
no insurance. The sympathies of our en-.
tire community are specially with DR.. Carr
in the total loss which he has suffered The
building was the property of Rev. A. P.
Repiton. and was insured for $500.
The next building was occupied by n. q.
Munson & Co., as a Clothing and Gentle
mems Furnishing Store His stock, valued
at $4,000 to $4,000, was insured for $lO,-
600. His goods were removed but in a
greatly damaged condition. The second
story was occupied by Messrs. Arlington &
Eperitt. Surgeon Dentists. They held an in.
surance for $4,000, but their loss will exceed
this amount by some SO or $4,000. The
building belonged to Mr.. Scott, of Rich
mond, and insured for $4,000.
The next building. belonging to Mrs,
Shines, under the charge of COL W. B. Flan-
ner as agent, was occupied by Mr. Wronski,
dry gooc's, and Allen Evans, colored, grocer
MIR. Wronski was insured for $1,000. His
stock was removed, but bis loss will he con-
siderable. His stock was valued at about
$4,000. Above was located the dag, errean
rooms OF Mr.. VanOrsdell, who had an in
surance OF $4,000, with policy of $4,000
just expired. Mr.. VanOrsdell's loss is heavy.
We have been unable to learn what the
loss of Allen Evans was. or whether he was
insured. We suppose liis goods were reno.
ved as there was ample time to do SO. Wo
trust his loss is not heavy, Tor he is an in
dustrious man and a good citizen. The
oSS'hN St'ly WI tito pulNtlHS was uSCu Nv
the Republican County COMMITTEES. The
third story was the publication office Of the
Wilmington Post, Republican newspaper.
Their type and press were saved in more or
less damaged condition. Some Of the fix
lures were burnt We eundcrstand that there
was some insurance upon the office, but we
did not learn to what amount.
At the time we write az o'clock,) the fire
is entirely under the control of the fremen.
AS usual. our fire Companies worked faith
fully and zeaously, but without proper sys.
TEN, and consequently to little advantage.
Many OF the adjoining stores and rcsiden-
ces had their sticks and furniture removed
to the great Inconvenience and loss ot the
owners and occupants. In this connection
we extend our sympatlies to the parents and
family of our esteemed local Editor, Mr..
James, Wilmington Journal -z
