Ludlow. Defore it was checked most
of the buildings on that square, as well as those on the south side of Columbia,
between Ludlow and Lawrence streets, were destroyed, amounting in all to about twenty in number. These houses were occupied bv about 35 families.
The greater part of the household proper ty was saved. Lumber and provis
ions to a considerable amount were consumed. We have no data for an accu
rate estimate of the amount of proper
ty destroyed; we suppose, however, it
may approach 50.000 dollars, a very small portion of which was insured. No lives were lost, but a few individuals were injured by the falling of a roof. Cut. Chronicle JWay 0. Anticipation.
