Destructive Fire at Marysville Loss Esti-
mated at $500 900.
From The Msrysvllle Herald, Aug. 81

Our Young city, which hitherto has escaped the
ravageS Of FIRE, last nigh, visited with terrible
confagration The fire broke OUT IN a Chinese wash
house, Highest, at about 70. O'Clock. The cause
said 10 be that burning candle left standing
by some clothes, and the Chnaman went 10 sleep
When the candle burned down. II commune ated FIRE
to the clothes, and thence 10 the lining OF the
house. Many, however think 1t the work OF an in-
cendiary, from the fact that another house remote
from the wash-house was discovered to be on hre d.
nearly the same moment.
We never saw a FIRE spread with so great rapidly.
so rapid, indeed, was the extension Of the flames,
that no time was given 70 save any considerable por-
ton Of the contents Of the buildings. The hre al
first took an eastery direction spreading toward ID
street but IN few minutes strong wind arose,
driving the flames IN the opposite direction. Fears
were entertained that the lower portion Of the city
would he entirely DESTROYED, but BY timely exeIton,
the FIRE was checked al street.
Three entire squares were burned, comprising
about eighty buildings
The L s Hotel. on DIST, a fne large building WAS
IN imminent danger, but was saved. II II had taken
fire. II Is probable that the whole OF the eastern poT
non Of the city would have been destroyed.
The burnt DISTRICT comprises the most business
portion OF the CITY.
Several house frames have already been erected
o.. the burned district and IN q short time no trace
Of the fire viii be seen And tne hre Will result n
benefit 70 the city, because better class OF build
Inss VIII take the place Of those which have been
CestToyec.
