 The Svenska volksblat, small journa1,- loses everything.
 CD. Kinney & Son lose $500 in office furniture. Besides that all their plans are destroyed, and an estimate of these cannot bs given. If no others exist the loss is very large. Among the plans was the one for the new Branford library. The safe and it's contents came out all right. Their handsomely framed pictures of fine build ings erected by the firm were consumed. The firm removed to No. 27 Center street yesterday, next to Bartram, the jsweler.
 J. M. Blair's loss Is heavy. His building is practically destroyed, as the rear wall will have to come down. Then 1t is gutted from cellar to garret.

The building belongs to the estate of R & J. M. Blair.

Its appearance was very good. Lewis & Maycock put up announcements that they would transact business at the l Chapel street office.
 ! More than half of the rugs at the Keba- ! bian store were saved in 8 tolerably good condition. Unfortunately Mir. Kebsbisn had a choice and large stock on hand in anticipation of the holiday trade in New Haven, as we'll as to send out. Of the elegant embreideries only @ third was saved in very slightly damaged condi- tion, and quite quantity also more or less damaged.
 Two truck loads of rugs and carpets cleaning and the balance, which were very slightly damaged, were taken to Messrs. Plat x Thompson's store, opposite, who l kindly offered their store for a special fire l sale, which will commence as soon as MT
 Kebsbian srrsnges the reduction of prices
 for this occasion, as he says he wishes tc
 close out his entire stock, in consideration
 of the fire as well as the hard times. Four New Haven ladies have expressed
 their sympathy in very practical manner
 by taking large quantities of embroideries | to their homes to clean, as they found tha
 Mir. Kebabian was not insured.
 Mir Kahahian'a atore was the only nart
 of the large building where the flames die
 not penetrate, and all the damage done wal
 by heat and water.
 No doubt rare chance to buy from Mr
 Kebabian's large stock will be offered.
