FIRE IN CINCINNATI.
A Loss or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ms to the
Origin OF the Conffagration.

CINCINNATI ONO, June 3, 1873.
A fire, doing $4,000 worth OF damage, occurred
in this city to-day burning 400 barrels OF
coal oil, twenty-five cars mostly loaded, lumber
yard with 100000 feet OF chiefly hard lumber, and
seventeen dwellings,. most or them small
frame structures At half past twelve O'Clock,
when 1t broke out, four alarms were sounded,
calling out the entire Fire Department with the
reserves. Engines from Covington and Newport
came over and rendered assistance. The fire
originated in the yard OF the Marietta and Cincin-
natl Railroad IN an open frame storage shed about
tween Smith and Park streets. This shed con-
tanned 400 barrels OF coil oil, shipped here rom
parkersourg ana stored for dealers IN this city.
Rumors are numerous as TO the origin OF the fire.
IL Is generally believed that number OF boys play
ing started the IRE. young man says that while
crossing the bridge over the road on smith street
ne saw nrst very small fame in the shed, and
which which burst suddenly up with several sue
cessiye explosions, envelopng the entire
building. Two private watchmen, employed
by the railroad company, arrived on the
and commenced rolling the barrels OF OIL away.
Other explosions occurred 80 rapidly that the men
escaped With dilculty II was attempted TO draw
the oars rom the adjoining tracks in the yard with
= locomotive, but on account OF the intense heat
this could not be accomplished. Twenty cars were
pushed by hand rom the track most distant from
the shed Ten or these cars loaded with sulphur.
were LETT exposed TO the fire. and the tunes OF the
sulphur s,i greatly interered with the nremen in
". II; Lancaster. Of the Marietta Railroad, was
seriously injured. vi the twenty-five cars ten were
totally destroyed and tfe contents OF the remain
Ing fifteen were badly damaged. The loss OF the
cars and freight falls on the Marietta and Cincin-
natl Railroad Company. Thlrty-seven hundred
dollars worth OF marble IN blocks In the
yard were .crumblcd. TO pieces. The fire
spread on the south to the lumber yard
or Roberts Co., and extended on the north
side OF Second street, nearly to Park street. This
side was soon entirely enveloped In names. Lum-
Der was piled high at this place. Sixty feet distant
directly across Second street. were three immense
iron receivers OF the gas works. Tie gas company
kept ten men on top OF the tanks, with hose throw
ing water on the heated iron These receivers, on
the side next TO the fire, were red hot,
and were momentarily in danger OF
explosion, an event which would have been certain
death TO the men on top. The nremen did all that
the intense heat would permit but the men at last
mad TO iorsake the gas holders by this time the
coal Oil had all burned out, and the lumber yards
and burning dwellings, remained to be eXtin-
gulshed.
The Fire Department soon got control Of the fire,
and now the gas receivers are out o! danger.
