The a.mes speedily communicated wbh adjoining buildings, and passip beyond control swept over large por- ton of the city.

The Custom house, being fire proof, escaped. though damaged; hut all the banks, newspaper ofhses, jswelry establishments, wholesale dry goods stores and telegraph ofic g, and nearly all the churches and places=of business was destroyed. Half the city is in ruins. and that half includes nearly all the business portion except Com mprcial street.
