LOSSES IN NEW YORK r New York May 2 The annual report for 1905, issued by Fire Marshall Peter; Seery, shows that there were during the year 1905 in Manhattan, the Bronx and Richmond 7,750 fires, an increase of 201 fires from 1 904. The total loss by fire during the year is estimated at $5,27 1 , 955, an increase of $741,012pver 1904. The average loss per fire was $680.25, an Increase of $90.05. Of the total number of fires there ' were 855,7 in which the losses were $10 or less. In regard to the causes of the fires the re port makes the . following interesting statement. The principal causes were: Carelessness with matches. 757; child ren playing with" matches. 244; careless ness in the use of liflhted cigars, 404 overheated stoves and stovepipes, 444 chimney fires and defective flues, 459; bonfires and brush fires, 476; carelessness in use of candles, 256; gaslights in con tact with curtains, 17; kerosine lamps exploding, 165. 1 ' The report says, that not a few fires are caused through apparent carelessness in the use of candles in religo.s services in homes, draughts from open windows blowing curtains against the lighted can dies. Marshal Seery also says: "1 was -also surprised to find mapy cases among the Doorer classes where three or more persons in the same suite of rooms had each a Sre insurrnce policy. It appears that if insurance companies were not so lax in respect to "risks issued" there would be a material decrease in the num ber of fires.
