ANOTHER ACCOUNT, GIVING EXACT PARTICULARS
THE WORST RooKERIEs IN THE CITY DESTROYED.
CHICAGO, July 1.-The exact particulars of the
origin and early progress of the fire are as follows
The fire began in that portion of the city known az
Cheyenne, between Taylor aud Twelfth and Clark
SITS and FOurth-ave
This part of the city consists Of the worst rOokeres
imaginable, most Of which are occupied as houses of
Ill fame. The alarm was struck from the corner of
Twelfth and Clark sts at 81 o'clock, and few MN
utes afterward, when the first engine arrived, the
whole avenue, from No SOB to 523 Clarkst, through
To Ihlrd-ave.. in flames.
The wind blew a gale from the Southwest and in
spite of the herculean efforts of the remen, the fire
crossed Ihird-ave, communicating to Queen
Chapel lcolored, on the east side Of the street
The spread Of the flames southwark on Clark st.
was checked at No. 527, although from No. 527 TO
No. So the buildings are badly damaged. The
grocery corner of Taylor and Clark-sts. and the
adjoining four houses. Nos 49, 49, sol and 5OS were
saved, and now standing, solitary and alone, in
the midst of vast wilderness of blackened ruins.
The buildings on the northeast corner Of Clark
and Taylor-ots. caught fire at about o'clock, and
slowly burned northward until the flames reached
No. iG1, where il was checked. The southern limit
on the west side of Third-ave is the large wooden
distillery of g. c. Russell & Co.. No. 277.
This rookery was saved through the exertions of
the workingmen OF the place, VINO turned out 70
strong and put all their steam pumps into operation
thus preventing the spread OF the confiagration
southwark on that street. From this point the fire
spread with fearful rapidity in a north-easterly
direction, and at about $50 o'clock had burned
through 10 the corner of Taylor and State-sts. The
strange phenomenon--namey, the jumping of the
flames and communicating to buildings whole
squares dstant-was again witnessed on this occa-
sion. Mr. Scamm0n's house was burned

does not increase or change there are great hopes
that the fire may be crowded into the lake as stated
in the dispatch sent AZ O'Clock
Among the notable buildings which have been
destroyed is the Gardner House, st. James Hotel

The fire is within two blocks OF the Palmer House

CmcA6o Jaly l4.-At this hour eleven O'Clock.
the belief is that the fire has reached It's limit. !;
has burned as far south as Van Burenst and is now
a, work between that street and Jackson. on the
north and south line between Safest. and
Michipan-ave. on the east and west line. The
course Of the wind is favorable blowing southwest
It's driving the fire 10 the lake front and away
from the city, The wind is not strong, and
the showers Of sparks are not very
large The buildings now IN its track
are substantial brick aud stone stores, which offer
az much of q barrcade as any structures could pre-
seut. The Exposition building, on the lake front,
between Adams and Van Buren-st. hesin the path Of
the flames. Myrads Of cinders have been showing
on 1t tor hours The roof is glass which experience
has shown here re>ss the action Of FIRE as well as
anything L, dome affords Ittle Judgment to the
sparks. and so far the building has escaped.
The fire has eaten into Mchgtn-ave.. one Of the
fashionable residence streets, only at a point be-
tween Congress and Harrison. IL has here de-
stloyed among others the fine residences of
Thomas Hoyne and George A. Walker. At
last accounts the fremont House was

fore lies almost entirely south Of the burnt district
OF lS5l. The two overlap where the fire is burn
ing that is, between Congress-st. aud Jackson and
Micmgan-ave.. and Safest.
The ire originated in a district full Of cheap
wooden stores and dwellings In It's course from the
corner Of Twelfth-st- and Fourth-ave. where il
started. uorthward. il has destroyed no valuable
buildings exceptln Wabash-ave This street which is
the great boarding house avenue of Chicago, Is

Many tine houses are burned. but they have been
occupied only by second-rate tenants. The Chicago
Club building at the corner of Eldrdge-court and
Wabash ave, was at one time on fire, but was
saved. The temporary Post Office on Harrison and
Wabash is gone. The burned area is about fifty
acres. The house Of Mr.. Horace White. editor If
The Tribune, was consumed but books and furniture
were saved.
