Destructive fire In San Francisco.

SAN Francisco, April IA dis
astrous fire, accompanied with loss OF
life, occurred this afternoon at the
corner Of Spear and Harrison streets,
caused by an explosion Of giant
powder in a frame building adjacent
20 Haihaway's bonded warehouse.
The walls of the warehouse were
crushed in, and a number of frame
buildings occupied as saloons and
dwellings were blown to pieces, and
10 a few moments the whole was
one mass of flames. i number Of
men, women and children were crush
ed by the falling ruins, and some per-
lshed in the flames.
1t is impossible at present to aseer-
tain the number of lives lost or per-
sons injured. The FIRE is now under
control. The loss in the bonded
warehouse is not less than half million
dollars, and to adjacent property
twenty-five thousand more. Search
is being made in the ruins as prompt
Iy as the FIRE will admit for the re-
covery Of bodies. Three have been
taken out thus far.
SAN FRANCIsco April S.-Four
bodies have been recovered from the
ruins of last lights fire. Other
bodies are supposed to be in the
ruins, which are being searched
James Mcintyre lately discharged

inns are not expected to live.

A Big Hotel on fire.

At 2:30 yesterday morning a fire
was discovered in the Franklin
House, at Frankfort and William
streets. There were at the fewest
one hundred dodgers and twenty meD
and women employed in the house.
One of the chambermaids was first
awakened by the snap OF cracking
glass and the noise Of flames eating
along the woodwork. When she
reached the hall two men were hur-
rying down the solitary staircase
screaming Fire! fire." at the top of
their voices. Only the night clerk
and porter were awake, but the
alarm was heard by the police, and
they entered and at once made the
tour Of every hall not cut off by
flames, and aroused dodgers. As
near as they could learn, the fire
commenced on the seventh floor in q
room adjoining On one side the
Frankfort street hall, and on the
other a ventilator extending from the
ground floor to the roof, eight stories.
The walls there are simply pine
frame work, with a skin of lalh and
plaster. This skin had peeled off
under the fierce heat, and the flames
enveloped the dry wood and COM
municated with frightful rapidity
with the walls above and below. At
ter the sleepers in the five lower
stories had been thoroughly awaken
ed an alarming scene was presented 10
the Railways. The dodgers, men al
most without exception, crowded the
staircase in every condition ofundress.
Those only were fortunate who re-
tired with all their clothes on. The
cbaimbernaids, who occupy the
second floor, made hasty exit in their
retiring robes, loudly bewailing the
loss of property. In the midst of
this scene an engine arrived, and a
line of hose was carried up the stair
way and a srteam was turned upon
the FIRE, which had descended to the
sixth story. Shortly alter ward auUth-
er engine arrived, and the hose was
introduced through a second story
window. Between the two streams
the FIRE was soon extinguished, not,
however, until it had left its mark
upon twenty rooms, and had burned
away an eighth of the roof.
Then it was discovered that the
roster Of the dodgers was short by
three persons. The fremen broke 10
the doors of rooms adjoining the fire.
aud three men were found in various
stages Of unconsciousness. These
were taken 10 the Park Hospital.
One, Thos. IIartigan, recovered
speedily, and was dismissed early
yesterday morning. The second, j.
II. Morice, having been badly pros
trated, was sent TO Bellevue Hospital.
A third showed some symptoms of
life. even after be was taken to the
hospital, but be died very soon. The
damage to building aud furniture is
estimated at $I3, 900. This is cover
ed by $4,000 insurance.

Sher II Eirkendall at once replied
that J., would proceed to Hazelton

this conference.
The situation is a grave one, and
it is to be hoped that good sense will
control and bloodshed may yet be
avoided, but the latest dispatches in
