Getting Rea0u to Res,i,ne.


Early in the day General Averill rented
for his firm the new five story building now
nearly finished at the corner of Fourth
and Wacouta streets, which belongs
to Mayor Dawson, and is planned for accom-
modating the st. Paul & Duluth general Of
fees. The Office of the firm was temporarily
located in the Stees building on Minnesota
street, next to the telegraph office, and mean
time General Averill sent orders East by tele-
graph, ordering new stock of goods,
except only such goods as are made at
the firms paper mill in Minneapolis, and of
which there is sufficient stock in store at the
mill.
Kelly & Co. office was located in the old
stone warehouse at the corner of Sibley street
and the levee-the same old build
ing in which, something less than score
of years ago, j. G. Burbank & Go. kept
the big grocery and supply store of their
day. The old warehouse, which Kelly 4 Co.
have used for storage for several months.
was in decidedly bad order yesterday morn
ing, but by night good beginning had been
made towards putting it in order. The base
ment was cleaned and newly foored and was
then before nightfall nearly filled with goods
from the main floor and loft. The upper
levee warehouse, until lately used by the
Milwaukee &c st. Paul company for its prin-
cipal freight house, is also to be occupied by
Kelly & Co. Efforts were made to open tel.
egraphic communication with Mr.. Kelly,
who is on his way home from New
York, but up to late hour last night
no word had been received from him. By
the noon train, of yesterday, Mr.. jerome
Platt, one of the trusted employees of the
firm, started to meet Mr.. Kelly at Chicago
and to consult with him about proceeding
East to buy new stock of goods. Mr.. Kelly
is expected home tomorrow.
Last evening each of these firms issued
circular letters notifying their correspondents
of their resumption of business and their
readiness to fill orders, as follows:
OFFICE OF P. 81. KELLY & Co.,
CORNER SHELLEY STREET AND LEyEE,
ST. PAUL, Aug. %, 1880.
DEAR SIR: Notwithstanding the destruction
of our entire stock by fire to day, we will be
prepared to fill orders after tomorrow. Our
fall purchases are fortunately near at hand,
and we feel justified in saying that your orders
will receive the same prompt attention that we
have given them in the past. Thanking you
for past favors, and hoping to receive your
quire.
OFFICE OF A7ERIII., RUSSELL & CARPENTER,
ST. PAUL, Mimi, August %, 1880.
To the Trade: Tine public has already been
made aware of our great loss by fire. We take
this opportunity, however, of announcing that
we shall in few days be ready to fill orders
from customers.
We have leased the new building lately erect
ed by Mayor Dawson, corner Fourth and Wa
couta streets, and with the stock now en- route
and that ordered by telegraph to-day, it is safe
to conclude that our business will be resumed
in the paper line, within one week.
As we very fortunately had on hand at our
warehouses in Minneapolis a large stock of
printing, wrapping, manila and building pa
pers, we shall be able to fill orders for these
goods with our usual promptness.
Our temporary office is No. ~ Minnesota
street, next door to the telegraph office, where
all communications should be addressed.
AyERILL RUSSELL & CARPENTER.
