1t was learned this morning that the fact
that many Baltimore buildings are built on
leased or ground rent" property will make
no complication In the settlement of the in
surance on the burned property. In fact. it
was said by Mr.. Clarence Duvaii, Balti-
norean. this morning, that most of the
buildings in the burned district were built

men to her home. where she served them
with a hot luncheon. At breakfast time
she again sent for the men and had them
partake of a bounteous breakfast which
she had prepared for them.
The heat and cinderS had so affected the
eyes of Foreman Lanahan of No. COM
pany at an early hour yesterday morning
that it was necessary for him to go to a
hospital for treatment, where he found hi~
assistant foreman. H. F. Mcconnell who
was there for the same purpose. The two
men speak in the highest terms of the
trea tment given them. They were able to
return to duty after soothing lotions had
been applied to their eyes.
Extra Men as Relief Force.
With engine company No. Z, which was
sent to Baltimore about $50 o'clock Mon
day morning. the District fire department
gent over twelve extra men to act as re-
lief for the men who were already on the
scene of the coniagration. All the men
who were off duty were called in and
organized into provisional companies for
the two reserve engines called into service
mere. The District had no more men to
spare, and hence the men in Baltimore
were obliged to work on longer shifts than
would have been the case if more extra
men could have been provided.
The District authorities consider that the
depleted condition of the local force in the
present instance illustrates the necessity
OF providing additional reserve firemen as
well as additional reserve engines and
more engine companies.

The results of his work were most crafty

some measure from the account of Pausa-

well cleared up and important sites, like the
market place and the fountain of Pirene,

INSURANCE. FEATURE
Payment Of Losses Incurred
in Baltimore Confagration.
EARLY ADJUSTM EN- T
MAIN CONSIDERATION IN RE-
STORING WASTE PLACES.
Estimate Made of Losses and Names
of the Companies Carrying
the Risks. ''.ss.-

The insurance feature. of the great dis
aster which has come to Baltimore Is one
of vital Importance. Provision is to be
made by the companies carrying risks to pay
the. losses, and this money is necessarily
the main consideration in the work of re-
storing the waste caused by the flames
1t goes without saying that not since the
Chicago and Boston fires have SO many fire
insurance companies been hit SO hard as
they have been in Baltimore. Owing to the
distribution of risks among a large number
of companies, as well as the fact that the
strongest Insurance organizations in the
world are sharers in this loss. it is expected
that the money due will not only be paid,
but paid promptly.
In fact some fthe companies are prepar-
ing to pay the losses without the delay of
examination, especially In the case of those
carving small policies.
1t Is of course, understood that to the
man of limited resources such an emer-
gency means a desperate struggle. and If
he can have placed at his disposal at once
the money that Is due from fire insurance
the effort to regain his feet will be much
less difficult. All policy holders of 5000
and less under such plan are to be paid
promptly. it is stated. The companies are
disposed to facilitate the settlement of all
losses as quickly possible.
1t is not thought that any of the large
companies will be put out of business. But
in the case of small companies carrying
risks in Baltimore, and especially with
some of the home companies of that city,
where business was largely local. it is
feared that their reserve as well as their
capital will be exhausted in meeting their
losses. Even where the capital remains
intact, when the reserve fund sinks below
a certain percentage, the company is oblig-
ed to suspend business until its resources
are restored to the normal. There will, no
doubt, be number of companies that will
temporarily suspend, while others may sus-
pend business permanently.
Estimates of Losses.
Estimates were given in New York city
yesterday at the offices of various insur-
ance companies, both American and for
eign, of the losses incurred. These esti-
mates are as follows:
