The destruction of their lumber sheds
and the ,250.C00 feet of lumber in their
retail department will carry up the loss
of the Shepard * Morse company to
something over $50, coo. They were in
sured in Boston to an amount sufficient to
cover their loss with the exception of the
sash and door factory, on which they may
lose Sl2, 900 to SIS COO
The Baldwin Manufacturing company
estimate the loss on their office at $1,000
aud on furniture and stock at $1,000, COW

Taft & Morgan were at work upon eX-
port orders, having in hand fully $1,000
worth OF work. In their mail this morn
ing was another foreign order calling for IA
large amount of goods The business
WAS in a prosperous condition, giving
employment to over 50 hands, who were
working overtime. None of their books,
papers or effects, with the exception of
those in the safe, or furniture, was saved,
Mr. Taft having barely time to close the
doors and lock the safe.
The other losses are as follows:
Henry j. Kirby, brick house, gutted,
loss $1,000.
Frank McKeough's estate, brick house,

James Lang, brick building, roof dam
aged, insured.

Mrs. Margaret Denning, tenement house,

The tenant houses were all occupied,
with the exception OF the Kirby house,
which was to be repaired. All the tenants
saved their household effects with hut
tritling losses, the greater part of the
damage being done in the haste OF mov-

The severest sufferers by the fire, no
doubt, are the Taft Brothers, whose thriv-
ing industry is wholly destroyed. They
had in the mill large quantity of finished
work and work in process of manufacture,
none of which was saved Their stock of
lumber was not large. Their loss is esti-
mated by intelligent judges at about
s25 600. They had 200 insurance. The
four story brick building occupied by them
was owned by the Shepard & Morse com
pany and was valued at $4,000. 1t was
partially insured.
