Destructive Fire at Washington City.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-This morn
ing fire broke out in the basement of
a house occupied by the pay inspector,
J. \. Carpenter, in Michaller row on
+ street, between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets. Before the family
were aware of danger the fire had
reached the upper stories, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Carpenter with difficulty escaped
to the street, the latter screaming for
her child, which was sleeping in the
building. On hearing the cry William
Digges ran through the adjoining house
along the cornice to the burning dwell
ing, burst in a window, seized the near
ly suffocated child, carried il out on the
roof of the next house, and delivered it
TO a cOlored man, who restored the child
to its mother. This gentleman had his
wrist severely cut by the glass or corn
ice. The interior of the house was al
most entirely destroyed. 1t belonged to
A. r. Shepherd, and wss insured. The
flames spread to the adjoining double
residence of Colonel Don Piatt,
on the west, burning it to such an extent
that it will have to be entirely removed.
That gentleman's library, and most of
his furniture, were saved from the
flames, but some of the latter was in
jured by water. He had no insurance
whatever on the house and contents.
The flames also extended to the Mansard-
roofs on the east, damaging more or less
eight or ten of them. The most of the
furniture in the upper stories was de-
stroyed by fire, and that below consid-
erably injured by water. Loss on houses
comparatively small, with the exception
Of those belonging to Mr.. Shepherd and
Colonel Piatt. One of the houses in the
row was occupied by Lieutenant
Wheeler, of the United States engineer
corps, where he and his assistants were
completing the record of
survey made during the last four wears
in Arizona, Utah and Nevada. All the
instruments, records, plates,
etc, We're saved. Harry
Elliott, young lawyer, while assisting
In removing furniture from one of the
houses, fell through the opening of q
stairway to the basement, a
distance of about forty-five feet, receiv-
ing serious injuries of the spine.
