Steamboat nmd Elevator Buraed.
MEMPHIS, July 2.-The Anchor
line steamboat Capital City, while
lying at an elevator, was totally
destroyed by fire this morning.
The officers, crew and issengers
barely escaped with their lives. A
strong westerly gale was blowing
at the time and, before the fire en-
gines and tugs could reach the
scene, the elevator was on fire and
the gale drove the flames through
the building where was stored a
thousand barrels of oil, quantities
of baggage and other infiammable
articles which caused such terrific
heat as to speedily drive back the
firemen. AS soon as the fire was
discovered Capt. Crane ordered the
boat to be cut loose in order to save
the elevator, but the gale held the
boat hard against II until pulled
off by tug, when the boat fioated
down a hundred yards among some
trading and wood boats and
burned to the boiler deck after set
ting those boats on fire, The eles
Yator coon burned to the waters
edge, and, together with o large
amount of valuable merchandise,
is total loss. There ale numer-
Gus conjectures as to the number OF
lives lost, but, up to this
writing, only one body has been
found which lies on the deck OF
the Capital City, only the trunk
being left. Thus far it has not
been identified. A passenger
was severely burned in trying to
save some baggage. The total loss
will exceed 100000, the greater
portion Of which falls on the An
chor line.
