Fire in New York.

New York, April 27. —Whisky, tobacco and a large stock of Japanese paper and fancy wood fabrics, together with the old and very inflammable v. coden finishings of the interior of No. 25 and 27 South William street, caused a fierce fire Tuesday night that in 20 minutes did damage estimated at $75,000. The buildings were occupied in part as whisky warehouse by C. H. Arnold and by the Nile Tobacco company and Lionel Moses, Japanese fancy articles and bric-a-brnc, all of whom are al tout equal losers.
