The FIRE AT BALTIMoRE.-NewY York,
July ga Baltimore special says The
fire in several portions Of the burned dis.
trict swept rapidly through the roofs and
left the lower portions of whole rows
scarcely damaged. This seemed to be
caused by large numbers of single roofs,
which are so exceedingly dry as to burn
like grass In this way the fire actually
crossed over streets in which engines con
tinued to work, aud left portion of the
fire brigade wetki6G in the very center OF
burning blocks. Water was so nearly
exhausted before the fire was under con.
troll as to make it necessary to dam up
the cutters to save the supply for some
Of the fire engines. The arrival of the
Washington engines was most opportunc,
contributing mainly TO the subjugation OF
the fire, Dispatches say the loss on the
Presbyterian church is $4,000; insur.
ance 100000. The estimated loss on St.
Alphonso's church and the building Of the
Sisters Of Notre Dame is $50, 900. There
was an Insurance Of only $4,000 on the
First English Lutheran church, which to.
gether with the valuable library of the
pastor was totally destroyed. The loss
of Reter, owner Of buildings on Saratoga
and Clay streets is $4,000, The in
suranee is mainly confined to Baltimor,
companies. 1t Is reported that the Han
over Of New York loses $1,000 and tn,
Continental but $1,000. The sun hi,
morning estimates the loss ny the fire at
100000, and says that good judge, Is.
innate the damages as low az between
100000 and 100000 The American
says it will approximate to 100000
Joseph Thomas a Sou, in whose plan,
ing mill the fire originated, state person
ally that their loss will not exceed $50,
600; insured in Baltimore and foreigl
companies to the amount OF S25, 700.
