THE FIRE YESTERDAY MoRNING-fUR-
TIER PARTICULARS.-The destructive con-
fiagration at the Wilmington Compress
Company's wharves. Yesterday morning,
was the almost universal theme of CONVEX
sation during the day. The origin OF the
fire remains a mystery. The Waterman,
Mr.. Williams, says he first discovered 1t
among a lot of cotton just in the rear OF
the machinery. The engineer and fireman
sav they stopped work at about !. O'Clock,
and mat when they left the premises. a few
minutes before : o'clock, everything had
cooled of. The Waterman at Nessrs.
Chadbourn & Co.'S mill, and also the watch
man on duty on board the British barque
ID. II. Bills, lying at one Of the wharves OF
the Compress Company, say that they first
discovered the fire bursting from the shed
in rear Of the warehouse.
The II. II. BIS, as we have stated, was
living at the wharf when the fire broke out,
and the flames, which speedily got under
good Roadway, were driven by the very
light breeze blowing directly in the midst
of the rigging OF the vessel. Fortunately
Captain Jones had SO arranged his fasten-
rngs that they could be speedily removed,
and he therefore slipped her moorings and
had her in the stream In IL very short time.
This vessel was to have taken on a cargo
yesterday, anu Il liBHtcI WAS u ldNc Cdilicu
off six hundred bales at & O'clock in the
morning.
1t is estimated that the number Of bales
destroyed, or partially destroyed, amounted
to !, $40, of which Messrs. Williams &
Murchison lose ], 100, Mr.. E. Lilly 10, and
Messrs. Kerchner & Calder Bros. 30. This,
estimated at $50 per bale, which is a little
in excess, would make the loss on cotton
$50, 600. From this amount, however, is
to be taken the salvage, which will proba-
bly, amount to about so per cent.
The loss on the press and warehouse is es-
timated at about $50, 600, the machinery be
ing considered by the company but little
damaged.-Wilmington Star.
