Jayne's Splendid Granite Block on Chestnut
Street Nearly Destroyed Origin and Pro-
gress OF the Conhagration-

PHILADELPHIA, March L. 1872.
DR.. Jayne's granite building on Chestnut street,
below Third street. was discovered 10 be on fire in
the rear. fronting on Carter street. shortly after
nine O'Clock. and the flames soon spread from the
third to the eighth story. The immense height
OF the building renders the steam fire engines almost
useless in reaching the upper stores ana the build
ing Will, probably be destroyed. IL Is Just below
the once OF the Western Union Telegraph Company.
If the side wall OF Jaynes block fall the fre may
spread 10 the telegraph building.
10 r. M-The fire continues to burn IN the rear
portion, but has not yet extended to the Chestnut
street 'front.' The fire commenced In the tnlrd story,
and the private watchman Is unable TO account for
Its origin.
The building belonged to the estate OF
the late Dr. jayne. The loss Is proba
bly, covered by insurance. There Is a
stationary steam IRE engine located In the building
and reservoirs OF water on the roof. which were
used with effect In checking the spread of the fire TO
the Chestnut street front or the building. The fire.
however gradually crept along the roof and smoke
ascending from the cupola on the Chestnut street
front showed that the fire was progressing through
Its entire length. Up to eleven O'Clock the Chestnut
street front was still unnamed.
1l:l5 p. M.-The names are now belching out OF
the sixth story windows on Chestnut street. and
the prospect OF saving The splendid block from total
destruction Is almost hopeless The stories above
however, show no signs OF fire.
The fire on the sixth floor has been exiingui she'd
aud the Chestnut street front entirely dark.
The hopes OF the spectators are revlving.
ShannOns tea store on the first moor. adjoining
Jayne's drug store, is deluged with water ana
large STOCK of tea and coffee is ruined.
The fremen are making use OF the section OF
Jaynes building on the south side OF Carter street.
Of the same height with the main block, and from
eveIy window Of the upper stories streams Of
water are pouring on the flames. This course
was rendered necessary, as 1t was dangerous
to occupy positions below. on Carter street. on
account Of the fire spntering OF fragments from
the granite 'front.' The fire Is slowly creeping along
towards Chestnut street; but though 1t has been
progressing for three hours the Chestnut street
front Is still dark.
1880 p. M.-Tnc fire has reached the eighth story
on Chestnut street, and the flames have
spread TO the circular window st the corner
OF the building steady stream of water,
directed TO this spot from the adjoining
roof into q side window, checked the
progress OF the fire there; but soon 1t extended
to the cupOla, which the water could not reach,
and 1t was soon in q blaze, presenting magnificent
spectacle from It's elevation OF about 100 feet above
the pavement.
The cupola was constructed OF wood aud covered
with tin.
