4 Baltimore special says the fire i'll
several portions of the burnt district
swep. rapidly through the roofs II
left the lower portion of whole rows
scarcely damaged. This is deemed to
be caused by the large number of
Shingle roofs, which are so exceed
ingly dry as to burn like grass. In
this way the fire actually crossed over
the streets in which the engines con-
tinued to work. and left a portion OF
the brigade working in the very CEN
tire of the burnt lg blocks. The water
was so nearly exhausted before the
fire was under control as to make 1t
necessary to dam up the waste wa
terS. and SO supply soine of the fire
engines. The casualties were OF no
importance, except the case OF SISTER
Rinaldia, and the men in the Convent
OF the st. AlphonSo Church. who
died from fright. Two tiremen were
injured by the explosion OF steamer,
but they Will probably recover.
