FIRE IN HENPsTEAD.-A letter dated Hampstead,
Gath April 1887, half past 4, A. M. says


"Wc have this morning been alarmed with the cry
Of fire. On reaching the scene Of action about one
and half or two hours ago, saw the large general
store of Higbie & Snedlker corner of Front and
Greenwich streets, pouring forth its sheets of flame
and volumes Of smoke 1t soon found its way through
dwelling house and the store of Mr.. Kirby clothier
to the large store Of Carman, Denton q Carman
where by the activity of our fremen and citizens il
seems now TO be arrested. Upon inquiry I find that
the fire commenced in the hat mandatory of Mr.
Finley in Greenwich street, and has made a clear
sweep round TO the post Office, which, by considera-
bic cxertion has been saved. The buildings consum-
ed those of Mr.. Finley, halter, Mr. Rhodes, chair
maker, Higbie & Sncdker's store, dwelling house.
occupied partly by Mr. Abraham Snediker, and the
other part by Mrs. Dorln Mr. Kirby tailor and clo-
ther, and the store Of Carman, Denton & Carman.
The los Of the whole as far l can CLEAN at pre-
SENT will be about sl5, ,000 Of which probably three
fcurths is insured, although not by the Hampstead
Insurance Company.
