The Oshkosh Fire-s2 500, 900 the To-
I'll Loss.

CHICAGO, April 3O.-A Times special
from Oshkosh, says the prospect at that
city is already Frightening, and the
prospects are, that before the winter u
majority of the business blocks will be
rebuilt The debris is cleared away from
the principal streets, which are througed
with visitors, who have come to see the
ruirs from all directions. Insurance
men are present from all parts Of the
country. They do not take discourag-
ing view ofthe conaagration, as gem
cral thing, and a few have declared that
they would stand ready and
renew all their risks. The
structures burned down were generally
pretty we'll insured, and owned hy men
who can afford to rebuild. The vaults of
the First National bank were opened to-
day and the contents found intact. Sixty
nine business structures were destroyed,
and about half of these will be rebuilt
Immediately. The police, to-day, made
n careful count and find that, large and
small, the sum total of dwellings destroy
ed is about five hundred. These are
valued at an average Of $500, which
gives an aggregate loss Of one million
and quarter dollars, which is probably
near the correct figure.
The loss on business houses was about a
million dollars, and on the lumber inter
ests from two 20 two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, making total OF about
two and halt million dollars on which
the insurance Is fully one million, or 40
per cent of the loss. The agency that did
the most business lost ail of its books, but
has nearly arrived at its loss.
MILWAUKEE, April 50 The Sentinel
Oshkosh special says that us yet nothing
is definitely known Of the losses of the
insurance companies Foremost among
the losers stands the Home of New
York, probably reach 100000; .Etna,
of Hartford, $4,000; North American,
of Philadelphia, $4,000; London, Liver
pool and Globe, 100000. The Mechan-
les, Of Milwaukee, are probably in for
$4,000, and the Brewers $4,000 to 10000
The loss is now estimated ut $4,000 900,
with $9j0,000 insurance. The general
feeling to-day among those Interested is
hopeful. Merchants are willing and able
to rebuild, and of the 50 business houses
destroyed, contracts have already been
made for rebuilding at least one.half Of
them. Surveyors are at work fixing the
precise boundaries of lots, and in many
cases the debris is beng removed. Shan
ties are being erected in ali parts Of the
burnt district for temporary use. The
City Council, last evening, extended the
fire limits quarter Of mile in the di-
rection in which danger is threatened.
The city is full Of insurance
adjusters, and it is reported one
company has all the claims
adjusted and checks for the amount of
loss. Comparative good order prevails.
Hundreds of men now will be employed
in removing the debris from the ruins in
II few days The vaults of banks were
opened to-day and everything they con-
tanned was found in remarkably good
state of preservation.
Weather pleasant with little or no

NEIGItBORyS0OD NEWS.



OUR streets were throngcd with prom
cnuders last evening, enjoying the pleas
ant weather with real appreciation that
was manifest in the gay and merry
laughter, and the only thing lacking to
make it really delightful to some, was
the absence of the "Soit, silver light OF
Luna.
OUR city seems to have become one OF
the model towns of the county for moral
ity and good order, there being nothing
doing lately OF any moment. No ar
rests and no disturbances to mar the
serenity at the official headquarters.
THE high wind yesterday evening
blew down the front portion Of Mr..
Highleyman's new house, which was in
fair way of completion. No one was
injured By the mishap, and We did not
learn the extent of the damage.
PApEElNG, painting and a general
renovation Of dwelling houses Is the
order of business during the present fine
spell Of weather.
BUSINESS was tolcrably lively yester-
day. All our merchants, in all the varl'
Gus branches of trade seem to be doing a
fair business. notwithstanding the scarcity

has been on trial for several days in the
Common Pleas Court of this city and

favor of the plaintiff, Robert d. Clark
This claim WAS against the estate Of VIM

made privately, without witnesses and
unknown to McCully's direct heirs, it
was contested with the above result 1t

The American Tcam in Ireland.

In the House Of Commons, last even
ing, Mr. Sullivan renewed his inquiry
whether the members OF the American
Team who were coming TO Ireland to
take part in the International Rifle con-
test, would be exempted from the obli-
cations of the law torbidding the carry
ing of arms.
Sir Michael Beach. Chief Secretary for
ireland, said arrangements had been
made to prevent any interference with
he American rlctren, and they would
npyc no reason to complain of the opera
ton of this or any other law.
