FAR1BAULT, June 26.-All is hustle and hurry
here to-day. By o'clock in the morning
Main and Third streets were thronged with
people viewing the ruins. Many have come
from the surrounding country and from the
| neighboring towns to look at the
GREAT DISASTER.
party of men are already at work clearing
away the debris, and arrangements have been
perfected for rebuilding the burnt district
without delay. The insurance companies are
| adjusting the losses as fast as they can get at
them. The tottering walls are being torn down,
sn,onldering fires in the ruins extinpuished and
the work OF preparation for the
NEW STRUCTURES
goes steadily forward. The second set Of build
stroyed. Nearly all those who were burned out
are amply able to build again. and before the
! summer is over shall see the place redeemed
and fine structures adjoining
THE NOW RAGGED RUINS.
The loss on Loyhed's stock and building will
not exceed So, 500 or SO, 600. A portion of the
walls of the First National bank building
will be utilized in the new structure.
The wall on Main street of the
two lower stores is apparently good as ever,
and that much will probably not have to be re-
built. Then on Third street portion of the
wall remains in good condition, so that can
most likely be utilized in the new building,
also.
on all the other buildings u.s. properly speak
ing, total, and the insurance will be paid in
general to the full amount of their risks. 1t
is thought this morning that the loss on the
various stocks, taken together, will not exceed
50 per cent. The
TOTAL INSURANCE
on the buildings, together with their contents
as figured up this morning, amounts to SILL
$50. The companies may have to pay $4,000,
but probably $4,000 will cover their losses.
In yesterdays GLOBE report, speaking Of the
firms who we're burned out on Third street in
the National and Masonic buildings, it
should read Pershall & Whipple, sta
TONERS, and J. Hamlin grocer. The
other business houses were in separate build
ings beyond. The day is pleasant, and things
are being put to rights as fast as possible.
Damaged stocks are being overhauled and the
good separated from the bad. The spare room
and vacant buildings in the city
COME INTO PLAY
just now, with many thanks. There is to-day
very little unoccupied space under cover in the
city, The hotels are full and still they come.
Horsemen with their fast nags are numerous,
and for the next three days it promises to be
lively among the trotters.
