SUNDAY MORNING, Feb. 26, l p. M.
FIRE, AND LOSS OF LIFE!

We have seldom had occasion to record so dis
tressing calamity as fell upon our city yesterday.
About four o'clock in the after noon, a fire broke
out in the Pork House of Messrs. Pugh & Alvord.
upon the canal, between Walnut and Vine streets.
The fire commenced in the smoke house, which
was full of meat. From this there issued dense
cloud of black smoke for more than half an hour
after the fire was discovered before it burst forth
in flame. Meantime all the other parts of the es-
tablishment had become filled with the smoke of
the burning meat, and the same dense cloud was
beginning to gush from the roof of the main build
ing as from that of the smoke house. At the
moment the flash of fame issued from the latter,
it 'gnited the gas, generated by the combustion
OF the whole blew, up in an instant-the brick
walls falling upon the firemen and others who
were engaged near the premises.
We have not been able to learn with accuracy,
the loss of life nor do we think it certain that all
the bodies have yet been recovered.
The following persons are known to have been
killed: -.
Caleb w. Taylor, Merchant, of the firm of
Woodnut, Taylor & Co. 3 -
Mr.. H.. E. Edmands, Pork Merchant.
Jos. Bonsall, President of Whitewater Canal
Company. -
J. Chamberlain, and 3 Germans, names not
known. a
The following persons we're badly injured, some
of whom are not expected to recover. -
Thomas G. Shelter, Printer, connected with
the Enquirer office. .e+ 3.
