Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1860-05-02

We have learned some particulars OF the great
fire in Warren, TFumbull Co., on Monday after
noon. The principal business portion Of the town
is laid in ruins and many dwellings consumed.
The Ere originated about neon IN a small ma
chine shop south Of the canal. owned by Tuesdale
Townsend. This was consumed Belden's
large carriage shop was Immediately adjoining,
and i Is very strange that it was not burned
From this shop the fire communicated to two
barns belonging to Walter King and Mr.. Hull,
just north Of the depot These were consumed
Peter Fulk's livery stable, on franklin street. was
next burned, and barn adjoining, belonging to
Mr.. Samuel Freeman. The strong southeast
wind, which blew through the afternoon carried
the sparks and cinders rapidly and thickly over
the town. The hremen had barely got the first
shop extnguished when the other buildings were
IN flames From the livery stable the fire commu-
nicated to the range Of stores aud shops upon
Main and Market streets, sweeping onward, con-
suming a large number Of small dwellings and
shops in the vicinity Of Franklin street. Once
iairly under way here, and the efforts Of the FIRE
men to arrest the flames we're Of little avail. No
ting then, the direction which the Gre was taking
they directed their attention to the Van Gorder
block upon Market street, and succeeded in arrest
ing the fre at this point, two stores in the block
being burned.
All on the east side Of Main street from South
70 Market, was burned, except the old Freeman
House, which stands opposite the Gaskill House
on the corner Of South and Main. On Market

clothing store in the Van Gorder block. On the
west side of Main street all is burned from Hoyts
store at the Public Square to the old King brick

Tbs loss is variously estimated at from 100000
to Sl5o,OOO-mOstly insured in reliable Hartford

The greatest excitement prevailed in Warren
and vicinity upon Monday and yesterday, and
people were in from all the surrounding country
70 look at the ruins. In1s46, fourteen years ago,
Warren was swept with another such general con
hagration, destroying nearly the same portion Of
The town, and Of about equal value. Again, in
1850, large fire consumed much Of the business
portion Of the town. The town now looks desOlate
enough, being literally laid in ashes. Most of the
blocks viii be Immediately rebuilt.
The rumor that two children we're burned, was
without foundation. Fortunately no one was killed
or hurt.
