Baltimore, Fob. 0.?A great
cloud was lifted this afternoon
vrhenit was discovered that prac-t; cally
all the vaults and atronj

$200,000,000 TAKEN FROM ltUINS.
From tho Coatinental Trust
Couij nay's safes alone papers to
the amouat of more than $200,
000,000 ware recovered. Tho
news cheered the whole city an 1

and their assistants, amoko-soiled

worked like laborers in tho smoking
ruins to uncover their ?afos
and in nearly evarv instance they
were rewarded by intact contents.
TWO UIO CONCERNS KsCAl'E.
Another surprise was the diseovary
that two financial concerns
whoie horu*s wore directly in the
paths of tho flames, wcro practically
unharmed. These wero the
Morcantile Trust Company and
ltrown Bros.' Bank. 1 ho oic-ipe
of the buildings ib attributed to
thn l?u*lr iif hr>i rlit 'I liar <l.i mil
exceed four etnrios and as they
were surrounded 1?v lofty structures
tlio flames iwept over tliem.
Tboro are between ?11 ,('00,000
and ?12,000,000 now in the vaults
of tho sub-Troa.-ury, :>f which
over *7,000,000 are in gold. The
remainder consists of currency,
silror end minor coin.
I.OSS AND INSUKANCK.
Ae yet no figares on loss and
insurance that can he regarded aw
flicial are obtainable. A careful
canvass of insurance experts,
builders and business men placed
the loss ia round lignrs at $125,0$0,000
and tho insurance at from
$ 0,000,000 to $00,000,000. Ii
it probable that these estimates
will stand with alight change when
the fiaal figures nro written Much
valuable property that lay in
Moaday's lira path was saved by
the prompt alTorts of merchants,
aad in that section the stock
lasses will he lighter than elsewhere.

According to tho figures, the
destruction wrought I?y the Haiti- v

that occasioned by the grout ^
Chicago tire of 1871. i? that

In Chicago 17,450 buildings woro 1!
burned and 200 lives lost; in ^

numbered 2,500 and tlioro uns no s

the one bright spot av.iidst Haiti- "
morn's desolation is that llie firo 8
barely touched the residence por* ^
tion of tho city and that thore are
a few homeless people in const* j
quruco. The property destroyed, '
too, appears to have bacn insured 0
' \

It is said that $30,000,000 of tho ^
