galleries were also badly scorched and the

more or less injured by being dsluged
with water.
Mr.. Harry Williams, the lessee and
manager Of the Varieties, succeeded in

self and wife, but his loss on the new
piano, machinery and stSge traps, the
result Of accumulation Of several years,
will be between $4,000 and $500, on
which there is no insurance.
The building Is owned by the heirs Of
the late Benjamin Trimble, and the dan.
age cannot be stated. Messrs John Trim.
BILE and Gardner were approached on this
subject, but were unable to fix their lose.
L is variously estimated by outsiders al
from five to eight thousand dollars, on
which there is no insurance, the policies
having expired in May and June, and moi
having been renewed.
The proprietor Of the Black Crook
Combination, who lost all OF the machin-
cry, traps, scenery, wardrobe, &c., except.
ing the wardrobe for the march in the
play, which, it was subsequently learned,
had been saved by Manager Williams,
tixes his loss at over $1,000, on which he
has not a dollar oil insurance.
The origin Of the FIRE is not known.
The property man left the building at II
o'clock last night, Immediately after the
close Of the performance, and there was
no frS about the building then. There
had been FIRE in the ladies' dressing
room, but it was about out when the
property man took his departure, and the
Ere, when discovered, was not in the vi
cinity Of this room. There is nothing on
which to ground the suspicion Of incen-
diarisu, but the hour at which the FIRE
occurred places II in the category OF mys-
tesious conHagrations.
