The Journal of Conimerce gives a
detailed account of a large conflagra
tion which took place at 9 o'clock on
Thursday morning last. Ve copy
the concluding portion, giving results:
The flames were not extinguished
until the destruction of six houses
had been accomplished, and the roof
of a seventh completely wrecked.
These all lie along the water sida of
South Front street, going east from
Hancock.
Major Dennison is the heaviest
loser. He estimates the total damage
to gin, Jcotton, building, macbipery,
etc., at about $15,000. Two or three
thousand dollars' worth of property
may be saAed from the debris. The
insurance amounted to only $1,000.
Major and Dr. Hughes lose $800; no
insurance. Mrs. Disosway, $200; no
iiisurauce. Mr. Bell, about $800; no
insurance. .-Various , other property
about 18,000. '
Daring the conflagration, large
brands were carried to a great dis
iain:f, and a niirnberof buildings sev
eral hundred yards away were tired,
but put out before much damage was
lout'. The Russell House and Mr.
T, Tn viihs carriage factory on Middle
st ret-t and an old shed in the alley
leading from Middle to CraVew' were
ignited in this way: ' ;, 7 '
The firemen, assisted by;. the citi
zens generally, worked manfully, to
check and extinguish the fire, and the
Department has proved itself , more
than ever a prime necessity. .
Among others to whom the thanks
of the citizens of Newberu, are due,
is the crew of the. revenue cutter
Stevens. I Tkey "were early upon 'the
ground and labored manfully to save
properly. Their services were of the
most valuable nature and deserving
of special remembrance."
We have heard of but one case
where injury occurred Wany person.
Mr. Phil. Holland, Jr., from excite
ment and over exertion ' fainted,' and
we regret that at the latest intelli
gence he was still lrisensible.
Another sad feature "of 4he fire was
developed in ' Mr. Holland's family.
For several days one of his children
has been lying at the point of ' death,
and when it was thought impossible
to save his residence it became nec
essary to remove the little: sufferer
to a place of safety. This was suc
cessfully accomplished. Afterwards
the child was reconveyed to its father'
house, where it now lies in a : critical
tonditioru . " , ,
