THIS MORNINGS FIRE.
Amounts Of the Loss and Insursnc,

The loss and insurance sustained by this
mornings fire in Mennerchor Hall is as
follows:
NJ. & R. Burgheim, insurance on stock:
$4, 900 in the Royal of Liverpool; $4,000 in
the Fire Association, of Philadelphia;
81, 900 in the Enterprise, and 81 600 in the
Amazon. Their loss is estimated at from
"a 900 to So 900.
The loss on the Mannerchor building
will not exceed s., 800.
The Mennerchor library sustained loss
of 81, 500 The piano of the association was
slightly damaged. The banner, valued at
500, was totally destroyed.
The insurance will make good the loss,
the insurance being 50, 500 i'll the Royal of
Liverpool.
Eschenbrenner's loss is 81, 200; insurance,
$1,000 in the Globe. This is the fourth
time that the MRnnerchor Hall burned,
the first time in 1858, the next in 1860,
when only the four bare walls remained
standing, and the third time in 1868. The
cause OF the fire was an explosion of a burn
ing lamp left on a wooden partition in
front of the ol-room.
The man, who was seen running in front
of the burning building proved to be
young Bush, a next-door neighbor, who
ran to turn in an alarm, and this knocks in
the head the supposition of incendarsm.
