In estimating the loss there Is wide
difference Of opinion, some placingi II as
high as $9OO,000, but experienced insur'
ance men, tonight, think that between
$500 900 10 100000 will cover all losses.
Insurance cannot be estimated tonight,
but Is confined chiefly to the Baltimore,
Howard, Home, and German OF this city,
NOT, however, TO such an extent as to i'm
psir the solvcncy Of either. The Equita.
bic tonight estimates their insurance in
the burned district at about $36, 200
the FiremenS, $20,000 Baltimore, $40 600;
Howard, $4,000; and the Home less. The
local agent here, oI the Continental, Of
New York, states their loss at $4,000. 1t
is said that the Hanover ol New York,
will lose $1,000. Beyond these estimates
no reliable Information whatever, can be
obtained, and any statement would be
coniectural. The loss Of Thomas i Son hiss
NOT been ascertained. ltiS said they have
a policy Of $l3,S00 on the building and
stock IN the FlremGn's, oi Baltimore.
