the fire originated, three small buildings and one
two story brick dwelling were consumed and the
"Seccnd Congregational Church formerly
known as Chase's Church, was considerably dam
aged.


On Delaney street, west of Forsyth street. a
marble mandatory. German potter House,
two story brick dwelling, thee story brick store
and dwelling on the corner, and several. frame
buildings were destroyed. East of Forsyth street
two story brick grocery and dwelling, and two
two story brick dwellings,, were consumed, and
three others unroofed AVID nearly demolished.


On Forsyth street, from ten to twelve buildings
on each side, mostly neat two story brick dwellings
were consumed
On Eldridge street, north of Broome, west side,
ten or TIVE I've buildings, similar in description to
those on Forsyth street. were consumed those on
the east side escaped, though much scorched-
South of B roome street. three two story brick dwell
mgs were destroyed.


On Broome street six or eight two story brick
dwellings, were consumed, and the four or five re-
naming were saved with great eXertion and per-
severance on the part of the fremen.


The number of houses destroyed cannot fall
short of one hundred, and were tenanted chiefly by
that portion of the community who cannot afford
to bear the loss. Hundreds of families have lost
their all by this me lancholy calamity. 1t would
be moderate estimate to average the number of
!


Of the value of the property consumed, no cor
rect estimate yet be formed. Probably not
less than forty five fifty of the dwellings were
worth from $4,000 to $4,000; and 1t would be a
moderate estimate compute the value of the bal
ance ofthe property consumed at about halfas much
more making an aggregate of some 100000.
To this appalling loss may doubtless be added
furniture &c. to the amount of twenty or thirty
thousand dollars.


While this fire was raging, another broke out
about four o'clock in the of 524 Pearl street,
in bakery and owing to the absence ofall the en-
gines at the fire up town, the rear of five buildings
were in flames before any thing could be done to-
wards checking it. The iresoon spread through
to Anthony St on one side and Elm on the other,
d. stroying some thirty buildings ofall kinds. The
rears of No. 524 to $50 on Pearl street were
much damaged together with the rear of 80 Elm,
and the buildings adjoining; indeed the grocery
store, corner of Elm and Anthony, was about the
only one of the block uninjured


By these two great fires some three hundred
families, nearly all poor people, have been turn-
ed out of DOORS most of them with the destruc-
ton or great damage to their furniture and proper
ty.


The upper parts of the city were in high state
of alarm, but so high was the wind that thousands
of persons In the lower wards never knew there
was fire.


! Another fire broke out at half past IL o'clock
the same night, at the corner of Maiden lane and
Nassau street, but was happily subdued without
much trouble
