Sonday rniornlns'a Fire.
:vWe are now enabled to give approximate
8Utemenls of the losses by the fire of Sun- j
day morning and the amount of insurance
on the property destroyed. The baling
was very oaaiy aamsged, the wood-wbrk
being entirely destroyed, while the walls
were bulged , out in some places, ittia
thought, by the force of the : explosion.
They will likely have to be partially taken
down. It was insured for , $1,500: in '.. the
Jtna, of Hartford, Conn,, represented in
this city by Messrs: DeRosset & Northrop,
which will not more than cover the loss.
Mr. Eilers loses $500 or $600 on office fur
niture,. &a, which was not covered by in
surance. His books and papers , were in
his, safe, and received no damage. :
e third story was occupied by Golden
Lyre Lodge No: 1608, 0.U. O.O.F.(colored
i ucjr lujv cvci viuiiik, in-
&c., valued at: $450. They were? insured
in the Phoaaix, of Hartford.'for $300.
, Mr W. F. Lessman, who, occupied the
nrst floor., estimates his loss on stock of
groceries at about $800, on which there was
insurance to the amount of $500 in the Cali
fornia Firemen's Funds Company, repre
sented by Messrs. DeRosset & Northrop.;
1 he manner ia which the fire originated
is still, and probably always will remain, a
matter of conjecture. The most popular
imeory seems to De tbat it was caused, by
-.i : ..... "
iuo iguuiuu oi matcnes oy rats or mice,
those miserable little incendiaries who" do
so much mischief and can never be caught
in the act.
The ruins were visited by a 'great many
people on Sunday and yesterdav. and

across the streets, and precipitated a bar of

of a store' on the opposite side of the wide
thoroughfare u 'il-

about fifteen pounds of powder in the keg,
which was on a shelf in the southeast cor
ner of the room.
