tlrely destroyed, despite the efforts OF the
firemen. No. 90 was q five story brick
building and Nos. II and 70 were two stories in
height. The structures were owned by Nesbitt a
Son. The greatest alarm was Occasi0ned among
the denizens OF the neighborhood, who feared a
further extension OF the flames owing to the high
wind which prevailed and the bitter cold atmos-
phere without doors; but the gallant fremen,
under direction OF Chief Nevns set the fears OF the
poor people at rest by extinguishng the
names by eight O'Clock. The blaze was very great
owing TO the nnammabe nature OF the stock,
much OF which was saturated with essential oils
Several horses and wagons which were on the
premises were saved by the police OF the Second
precinct, who rendered valuable service. Arbuckle
q Brothers lose on stock $4,000; on ma
ing Is $4,000. The Fire Marshal made

the premises. The lre originated on the second
story OF No. 90, used as a printing offlce. The
stock and machinery were insured for 500 In
the Niagara. The Niagara reinsured the property
for half that amount In the Metropolitan Company

lowing companies Equitable, $4,000: Nassau
