The Daily Dispatch: February 1, 1862., [Electronic resource], Northern news. (search)
Northern news. We continue to make extracts from the late Federal papers which have reached us: Destructive fires and heavy losses in New York. There were no less than eight fires in New York on Saturday and Sunday of last week, involving an aggregate loss of about $800,000. The first fire broke out on Saturday afternoon, in a bonded warehouse, of R. H. Wyatt, on Bridge street, which resulted in the destruction of $300,000 worth of property. The building was entirely destroyed. When the fire reached the cellar, where a large quantity of Scotch and Irish whiskey was stored, an explosion took place, the effect of which was terrific. Bricks, boards, pieces of barrels, and other fragments, were thrown in all directions. The immense crowd which had gathered to view the conflagration endeavored to withdraw quickly, but a large number were thrown down and trampled upon. At one o'clock on Sunday morning the building adjoining that fire, and burned out some $25,000 more.
