derwriters and salvage agents are nearly
agreed that the damage TO buildings Of
all classes, to domestic goods and COM
mercial stocks will aggregate close TO
50, 500, 900, with liberal allowance for
rebuilding and repairs. The main point
OF comfort, though, is that the loss Of
life Will not prove nearly SO great as
first supposed. At late hour ninety
four names were borne on the list of the
