No Casualties.
The most destructive. confagratioa that has been
In NcwOsieans for years ragged at nlidsdaY5 and a
couple OF hours Of the afternoon Of yesterday. The
total destruction Of one Block OF splendid stores and
tho partial destruction OF another was the result.
Fortunately, notwithstanding the intensity Of the
fire. the heat Of the midsummer day, the towering
malls lettering and coming crashing down on every
side, no loss Of lilo or serious casualty remains 90 be
deplored, though escapes from dangerous or fatal ac-
lcidents were netheniew nor lar between.
The fire broke out about twelve O'clock, in the
second story Of one Of Messrs. Lgsk 4 Co.'S grocery

toward him 4 barrel Of liquor having become ig-
nited and burst, the liquid spreading over the floor
and setting on lire every thing within reach almost
iastantaneopslly. boy at the time was racking of
the liquor.
The alarm brought the iremen quickly on the
ground, but the nature of the propesty-Messrs. Il.
y Co.'S Store beng hlled with groceries and liquors
gave the fire u start that gave it powerful hold its
way for q considerable time, The arrangements for
the supply OF water also operated for a time against
the efficiency OF the department, and was the main
cause Of the fire spreading across Fulton street, and
destroying three large stores on the opposite side.
The second store Of Messrs, Iusk \ Co, and The
adjoining ones on either side, OF Mcssrs. Wheeler 4
Forstau, copper and sheet iron workers, and Messrs.
Waldo u Hughes, hardware merchants, were shortly
the scene of the widest attack Of the conilagration.
The. second story Of the latter establishment was oc-
cupied BY Mcssrs. Lewis snapp & Co, and the same
part Of one Of Ldsk Naeo.s WIS rented by Messrs.
Geo. d. Hite s ca. both firms engaged in the steam

The fire soon after seized on the store next to
Waldo & Hughes. the lower portion of which was
occupied by Mr.. 4. w. adams, and the upper part
by the Cairo Mail Company, That quickly sue,
cYInoed and gave away to the ragfae element TO as

it must have been a human skeleton. Seem
