A HEAVY Loss.-Among the property
destroyed by the depot fire, were 500
tabs Of butter, two pianos, about twenty
barrels Of highwines, the machinery of
the Jones bakery going to Canada twelve
barrels of gasoline. aud a considerable
quantity of poultry and fresh Goldfish,
The contents of the sale Of James S. Bean
came through the fire in tolerable fair
condition. The other papers were all
right. j. S. Bean has his place of bust
ness. for the present, in the Office of the
Northern Transportation Company, on
the depot grounds All the safes at the
depot fire brought their contents through
without loss. That of the ticket IN aster
Tobey had contents Of considerable value.
Total loss $4,000.
One hundred and ten suits have been
comm enced against the Staten Island
Ferry Company in consequence of the
Wcstfeld explosion. The first case has
been decided against the Company, which
has appealed to a higher court. There
was criminal carelessness somewhere, and
tho Company should be held responsible
for the neglect Of its agents Our only
regret is that the damages are not set at
$40 ,000-which is less than half the
sum Mr.. Bon cr would take for "Dex.
ter" instead of a paltry 5.O0O-which
would hardly buy a good trotting.nag.
