They' carry an immense stock at all times and had juat stock ed up for the spring' trade. They estimate , the value of the stock at $35,000 , and.ssy that the insurance iswholly inadequate to cover the amount. Their establishment was gust .literally "gutted" by the flames and'a worse'wreck ' was never seen. _ A. lively scrimmage took place be tween Mayor Chase aud Capt.
