The Hamburg Bremen is known to

The Hamburg Bremen is known to be
largely interested in the insurance among
the tenements, and is supposed to have
lost heavily. The Transatlantic too, and
Helvetia Swiss and Dixon's agency, the
Continental of New York, the Commercial
Union, the Niagara, the Hartford and the
Liverpool, London and Globe are all
deeply interested.
AS for the loses by the jewellers and
workers in the Inflated territory, they
range from few cents to thousands of
dollars, and there were great many,
particularly those living in the tenements,
who carried no insurance on their prop
erty. The Pacific Soda and Chem
ical Works, owned by J. Horstmann,
shows probably the biggest single loss of
any. He lost his entire stock and build
ings, valued at $4,000 They were insured
for $4,000 carried by different companies.
Carrick, Williams & Wright carried $14,-
600. They lost $4,000. Fuller's desk
works was heavily stocked, and

furniture works lost $4,000.
Lachman's wine warehouse, on Bluxome
street, was the most valuable building in
the vicinity. Had it been burned nearly
100000 worth of wine and property would
