Consequently, the n of your fire came to me like a h blow and was certainly very pain: I suppose there is very little I do towa?ds raising your hoies business houses from thle ashes even better buildings t han I hey w formerly; but you have miy earn p rayetrs fo a speedy recovery f yourI grea'( :t loss.

So great was the iterest felt during the conflagration that inquiries were pouring in from all sides as to the progress *of the fire, etc. For the time being it was all the talk. Here and there on the streets were small groups of citizens discussing the dreadful news, In some instances merchants in front of their stores were dirawing diagrams of? Newberry and trying to showv andi explain thle territory over which at that, momeni3~1t the work of destue tion was being driven with relentless fury.
