Fire in Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 27-9 A. M.
About one o'clock this morning, fire
commenced in the stable of the Railroad
Exchange, on River street, in the immedi-
,ate vicinity of the G. G. q G. Railroad De-
po a brisk wind was blowing at the time,
,apd notwithstanding the untiring efforts of
THE .Gremen, they could not prevent it spread
iing on both sides until about 90 houses were
destroyed, embracing every building between
the Railroad Hotel and the Cleveland House.
The loss to the city is not much, as the
buildings were principally occupied as low
groceries, and boarding and lodging houses
for the poorer class Of emigrants. There
are, however, many individual sufferers, as
every room In the range was crowded to its
utmost capacity with human beings, who
unfortuna ely belong to that class which is
not readily received into the dwellings, of
their more aristocratic neighbors, so that
MANY of them, women and children, are
this morning shivering in the cold peltings
OF an autumn rain.
There is no doubt that the fire is the work
of an incendiarg, and three fine horses which
were in the stable where it originated, were
overwhelmed in the flames before they could
be extricated, The extent of the damage
is about $4,000; but as the buildings were
mostly insured, the owners have not suffer-
ed so much as the occupiers, whose goods
and furniture were mostly destroyed.
