DISASTROUS rRE!-WArERFoRD DESTROYED -, MT
AOke out q, o'clock Sunday in the village OF
5rl Saratoga county, four miles above Troy Oh 'H
ger and Northern Canal which was almost en'ey III" III
ins. The Troy Daily Wing says;


rared with the greatest fury for three hours and con


ed penriv the whole of the business part oil te to" III
hiding the Saratoga County Bank, Episcopal chooi' odu


the Mansion House formerly Dcmarests nearly every


e in the place and about fifty dwelling houses-naHins IN
II from serenity 10 e1rhty ouidinSs' Among WHICH ~ ~
so. valuable in the town.


The FIRE caught at H. p NJ, in small building used for


ng lime situated on alley, about 100 yards southwest


The Mansion House From thence it spread rapidly south
IA cast the wind blowing the time fresh breeze from
% nor,h.west and continued burning with great fury for


e hours and finally arrested BY the exertons o the
Tr and WesTroy remen who arrived on the ground at
halfpast FIVE. .,oo


The whole loss is less probably than S5oO0O, por


10, of which insured though have not learned TO what


onnt The Firemen's Insurance Company Albany have
los, sc 900 TO $0,500. The Rensselaer, and Saratoga o
b cv and the Saratoga Mutual and other companies
also losers.


We are unable at present TO give the of the occu
rap,s of the buildings destroyed, the We were
an rho Ground at halfpast FIVE and remained there until the
FIRE was exnguishcd and afey say that we never wit
messed such of confusion devastation and distress
The whole village covered with furniture, goods and
articles of every description Every house appeared TO be
empied of its contents and the inhabitants OF the village and
the adoinug towns together with hundreds from Troy
crowded together in the neghborhcod Of the fire. At
time the destruction of the bridge the Hudson appeared
inevitable and nothing saved but the excrons OF the Troy
and WestTroy remen Waterford having but one rc-er-
sue and that being almost useless The fire was finally ar
rested at the house of John Stewart brick building lew
rods west of the bridge The books of the Saratoga County
Bank were saved The specie remains in the vault TO the
amount of $4,000. Mr. Tcomb, butcher, fell from
roof and is expected TO live. With this exception we
heard of no accidents


Byhis destructive confagraon the prosperity of Water
ford must be seriously impaired, and it is doubtful whether
she viii ever recover from the loss Ii is by far the most
serious calamity that has occurred in this section OF the
country since the great fire in this city in 1920.
