Further Particulars of the Great Fire

Further Particulars Of the Great Fire,
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5.-The United
States bonded warehouse on Lombard
street wharf, better known as Patterson's
storehouse, 4 six story brick building, 25O
by $50 feet, and containing forty thousand
barrels whisky and other goods, valued at
ten or eleven million dollars, took fire last
evening at o'clock, and has defed the
efforts of the firemen to subdue the flames
up to this hour. The burning liquor
is running through the streets like rivers
and destroys the hose, thus interfering
with the fremen. 1t is impossible
TO saw how far the fire will ex-
tend A large number of minor casual
ties has occurred, but no lives lost except
four children who were killed by falling
bricks. The origin of the fire is stated as
follows: The immense weight of the whisky
stored in the south end of the building,
directly over the engine room, caused the
upper part of the building to give way,
thus letting the whisky down into the en-
CINE room. 10 an instant the fire spread
throughout the six stories. The iremen
directed their efforts TO saye the surround
ing property, it being impossible to do
anything with the warehouse. Most OF
the whisky was that on which duty had
been paid under the extension act Of Con-
gress. This fire is the most destructive that
has occurred in this city since the great fire
of 1850.
The principal losers are the Haneys
Coihsrwood and John Gibson's Sons.
At this time it is impossible TO state the
amount of insurance.
LATER-1:l5 A. MA heavy thunder
storm has set in which will aid in reducing
the fire, but it is still burning unchecked.
The great heat prevents close approach
TO ascertain minor particulars but the
streets ale full OF rumors of lives lost by
falling walls.
The stores destroyed were considered to
be entirely fire proof, having iron doors
and shutters.
There were eighteen inch walls between
each of the eight stores, but these burned
almost as if made of wood. The burning
whisky ran in the sewers, causing explo-
sions, and great panic among the spectators,
which was not iessened by reports that the
buildings contained powder, saltpetre, etc.
Those buildings were erected some fifteen
years ago, and were considered among
speculators as the finest of the kind in the
country. They were formerly used by the
government for storing sugar, cigars, etc ,
but recently devoted entirely to storage OF
whisky in bond.
"a. M-The fire will not spread any
further. The heavy rain continues, and is
checking the flames.
Later.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5.-The fire is
still burning, but has not spread beyond
the ruins. During the night various ad-
joining stores took fire from the sparks,
and more or less damaged. Loss general
ly estimated at over $5,00000O. 1t is be-
lieved no lives were lost. All accounts
agree that the FIRE was caused by the fall
ing of the floors from the weight Of whisky

RUFFALOEs ON A RAILWAY TRACK

A correspondent vi tho NhISaSO AAf
bune writes from Sheridan, Kansas:
"Vast herds OF buffalo gIaze along the
line of the railroad, and are frequently
seen from the cars, and not unfrequently
so near that many are shot with rifles IN
the hands of passengers while the cars
are in motion. Yesterday we saw up
wards of thirty, by actual count, but
about half mile off. We also saw
several elk and antelope, and one woli,
and dined on venison and buffalo steak.
Sometimes large herd has been sur
prised near the track by train Of cars.
| The shrieking of the whistle and the
| rushing Of the train has produced such a
panic of fear that the herd has rushed
pell NELL along, in the same direction
with the train and at almost as great
speed, thus affording spendid opportunity
| for shooting from the cars. In one case
the engine killed several which were on
the track. Numerous carcasses are seen
| of the noble animals, which have been
slaughtered and left to perish along the
| line Of the road from Ellsworth to Sherl-
dan. Sheridan has about one thousand
inhabitants, principally transient trades
men and hotel and boarding house keeps
