from Oshkosh says tic prospect al that
city il already Frightening and the pros
poets arc that before winter majority Of
the business blocks will be rebuilt. Tho
debris Is cleared away from the principal
streets, which are thrOnged with visitors
who have come to sec the ruins from all
directions, Insurance men are present
from all parts Of the country They do
not take discOuraging view ofth con-
migration as a general thing, and few
have declared that they are ready to
renew their risks. Theslrictures burned
down were generally pretty well insured
and owned by men who can afford to re-
build. The vaults Of the First National
Bank were opened to-day and the con-
tents found intact. Sixty.nine business
structures were destroyed anti about half
Of these will 10 rebuilt Immediately.
The police to-day made n careful count
aud find that the sum total Of dwellings
destroyed Is about FIVE numbered, aud
these are valued at an average Of $2,5OO,
which gives an aggregate loss oil one
million and quarter dollars, which IL
probably near the correct figure. The
loss on business houses Is about one mil
lion, and Onlumber interests from'tw to
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars;
makinga q total Of two and half million,
OH which the insurance IL fully one mil
lion, or 40 per cent OF the loss. The
agency that did the most business lost all
its books, but have nearly arrived at the
correct figures Oftheir losses, The fol-
lowing arc the amounts sustained by
