The fire war it discovered in the hock buildings of the Wastrogio-iHall, which was burnt.

It was im possib'-e to save many of the goods In the stores, thefire made such rapid progress, and toie that were saved were mostly in a dafsged state. Sevearal buildings were blown up, and two or three negroes lost their lives. "The loss is estimated at $300.000.
