List OF Losses.

From the Harrisburg PATRIOT, May 18th.
MILTON, Pa, May l4.-The whole
of the borengh of Milton is destroyed.
The fire originated about Il O'Clock in
the roof of the large car shops owned
by Murray, Dougal & Co., it is suppos-
ed from a locomotive spark. Houses
caught fire faster than they could be
controlled. The flames spread rapidly
in a southwesterly direction. Some
idea of the desolation which exists may
be obtained from the fact that there re.
mains in the town but one church,
three business places and one hotel
The burnt district covers an area of
three squares wide and over one mile
long. The following is a list of the
principal buildings destroyed: The
Car shops, employing 400 men, Ger
man Reformed church, Bickel & Bal
ley's machine shops, Seydel 81 Tilden's
carriage factory, Methodist church,
Cyrus Browns handsome block, Broad
way House, confectionery of A, Loch
man, Gov. POllock's homestead, Acad.
emy of Music, Presbyterian church,
Milton National bank, Huff house,
post Office, MiltOniGn and West tern
Union telegraph Offices, First national
bank, Philadelphia and Reading ex-
press and telegraph Office, United Stat
eS company, Reyber's tannery, employ.
ing sevsnty-fve men, keg factory of
Sinner & Co., employing 100 men.
Lutheran Catholic, Covenanters, Ev
angellcal and Baptist churches, be-
sides nearly all the private residences
of the town. About 100 places of bu.
siness were totally destroyed and over
600 buildings. The town proper con.
tains about 5000 inhabitants. Of this
