us-strong and refreshing Flooding our way to the
confagraiion that was raging in Duane-st, we en-

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. About III o'clock
last night fire broke out in the building g. Duane
St. occupied by Worrall & Co, Machlnlsts The
fire originated N the Foundry on the first floor The
second story was used as a lumber rOom the thiru
story AS carpenters shop, where the patterns were
made. and the fourth and fifth stories were filed with
the psttems used in the Foundry The loss to "or-
rail- & Co.. must be immense-(we heard 1t estimated
from thirty to one hundred thousand doilars)-as
every pattern used II their extensive establishment
IS DESTROYED There was partial insurance on the
property IN the North Western Company. IRIS
however, was mainly on the building. The workmen

Of the implements wherewh they obtain their liyell-
hood, and We hope our charitable citizens will take
measures to replace their loss.
The walls of the building are still standing, and
one of the propueiors last night stated that they WI"
resume business again IN about two weeks
The adjoining buildings were damaged slightly.
Had II not been for the extraordinary exertons made
by the fremen. many other buildings must have been
DESTROYED, and those adjoining the burning one were
wooden shantes.
Probably no fire has occurred in this City within
the past five years hat presented 50 sublime Specis-

simultaneously with the fire, and the "reathed
flames. the forked lightning, the crashing thunder,
and the shouting fremen. they struggled with the

One flash appeared to strike the burning building
uniting with the towering flames and the stunning
clap Of thunder that followed, drowned for moment
the changing sounds OF the engines, the falling TIM
bers and the trumpet orders of the Engineers
p Sit Is SAID thas two fremen were seriously
injured AT the fire, and were taken to the Hospital
We could not ascertain the truth of tins rumor.
