THE EASTPORT CALAMITY.
Many Families Homeless and
Destitute.

EAsTPoRT. Me-, October 16.-The loss by
the fire is now estimated at $500 OOO. There
are no means as yet of estimating the in
surance. Several safes were opened today
with better results than was expected. The
report that the insurance books ana re-
ports were destroyed was mistake. All
the savings banks, the Frontier bank and
postoifice ookS were found to be safe, or
nearly so, as were the insurance papers
The mot serious part OF the calamity is
that a great number OF families are home
less aud destitute aud out OF employment.
One hundred families are without homes,
many of whom formerly were quite COM
fortably off and are now living with friends.
The suffering will increase as the weather
gets coliler. A relief committee has been
organized, and some aid has been received,
but only sufficient to relieve temporarily
the distress.
