Insurance Losses from the Fire at Calais---Hartford, Conn., on Short Allowance of Water.
HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 3.---Partial reports of the insurance losses by the great fire in Calais, Me., received here are as follows; Etna, $35,000; Phoenix, $5,000, and Hartford, $21,000, all of this city; Home, of New-York, $16,000; Home, of New-Haven, $30,000......There is but a three weeks' supply of water in the city reservoir, and if rain does not come, pumping from the Connecticut River will have to be again resorted to. For a few days the water has been very noxious, and it is found not to be in the reservoirs but in the accumulation of vegetable and animal matter in the mains.
