LOOKING INTO THE LOSSES.
The losses by the fire will be moro than
| covered by insurance. 1t is impossible, of
| course to tell exactly what the losses will
| be until they are adjusted, and n careful
| approximation even may be wide Of the
mark. The insurance on all of the build
Ings and stocks affected by the fire foots up
| $135, 200.
Miller & Co. will be the heaviest losers.
| Their stock, approximately valued at
| 800 900, is a total loss. Their Insurance is
| $4,000, distributed among fifteen com
panies.
Jacob Cohen's stock is also total loss.
Mr.. Cohen's insurance is $4,000 on stock
and $3.50 on fixtures, distributed in eight
companies.
| NJ. Sternberg's loss on jewelry, clocks,
etc, is principally by water and goods lost
| track of. In the effort to remove the stock
| from the building during the fire a good
| deal was lost. What was left in the build
ing was badly damaged by water. Mr..
| Sternberg had ST. 500 insurance and his loss
is fully covered
Byck q Sons stock of dry goods is nearly
If not quite total loss.
CRUSHED IN BY THE WALLS.
When the west wall of Miller's store fell,
crushing in the roof of Byck's store, the
mass of debris was carried clear to the
| ground floor. A flood of water poured in
and soaked everything clear to the base
ment.
Appel & Schaul had a stock of trunks
stored back of Byck a. Sons store and they
were buried under the falling wall.
Lowell 81 Lattimores stove warehouse in
| Congress street lane, and their stock of
stoves and hardware was considerably
| damaged, but the loss is fully covered by
| insurance.
S. w. Branch's loss on groceries and
liquor stock will not exceed $500
ID. b. Testers stock of groceries and
liquors was considerably damaged by water
| and smoke. Mr.. Lester estimates his loss
at about SO 500. The water poured through
from the roof and upper floor Of Miller's
store into the upper floor, soaking every
thing on the western side of the building
and down to the basement.
The damage to the buildings will have to
be determined by an examination. The
walls Of the building occupied by Miller &
| Co., Sternberg and Cohen will probably
have to be taken down to the first story.
the roof of Byck q Sons store and of the
warehouse in the rear are completely gone
