Amongst the losers by this fire was Cap

was in danger, some OF the>erowI who in
tended doing HIM favor, entered his office
and took out bis type and machinery, and
in the hurry Of the moment put them down
pell.mell in the street. His iob-press was
broken, and type and other printing mate
rial much damaged. Captain Anderson is
insured in the Albemarle for $500.
The cause OF this fire has not been dis
covered. 1t is said That the. fire was first
seen in the rear part OF one OF the stores, in
which were stored lot of boxes and mate
rails of sundry kinds. The spread Of the
fire almost Immediately to several parts OF
this very large building was quite remnka-
bic. Yet there is no known reason for
which an incendiary should have wished to
damage any OF the parties concerned

The multiplication of branches OF bust
ness has received new eNemplitication in
Philadelphia, where there has just been
established what is called a "Title In
surance Company" Its object is to act for
all buyers OF property, examine the deeds,
and if they are found perfect, to the salts
faction of the company, to insure the pur-
chaser against loss by reason of defective
titles, liens, or encumbrances. The idea is
novel one, but in the hands Of responsible
men it might be worked out to good ad-
vantage. 49, . % - -
