loss thus --From damage to stock, $50, 900; rom
damage TO building. $4,000. Ii Is scarcely possible
that the Assistant Fire Marshal can be right. Inc
employees OF Ward a Co. say mat when an inven-
tory OF the stock IN the building was made, about
two weeks ago, It's value was found TO be $500 900.
THIS statement, being connected with the fact
that all the stock on the upper hoors was de-
stroyed and all on the lower noors greatly dam
aged, seems to indicate that the police are the
more nearly correct III their estimate. The As
sis ant Fire Marshal was unable To ascertain to
what value Ward Co. were insured, or In what
companies.
During the fire the reserve forces or police from
the Sixth, Eighth Tenth, Eleventh, Fourteenth,
Fifteenth and Seventeenth precincts we're present
TO preserve order. Superin tendent Waling and
Inspector McDermott were in command OF them.
Commissioners Matse and Disbecker also did
police duty III the neighborhood OF the connagra-
