The building!" contained a large quantity of hay,! oats, flour, paper roofing, etc., damage j sfe tihe same was estimated to be be- j Tttwetn $4,000 and $5,000 which was j -jKaetacally covered by insurance. About 75 barrels of flour were dam- ] by water. Mr. Scott had some wsarance on the warehouse. The fee started in the hay, supposedly by ? rat, and not Dy spontaneous com- j tacstion, the latter theory being disproved by a small fire a short time liefore on the same day in the guano fconse at the rear of the store in a lit- ? Sfe cotton stored there among some I nitrate of soda, and the soda did not burn. That fire did very little damage, ss did also another small fire along , tferre not long before the other fires.
