ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
EUREKA, New, April FL Last
night at 1880 O'Clock, during the
prevalence of heavy wind, fire
broke out on the east side Of Main
street, and, although the three fire
companies were promptly on hand,
II had attained such headway that
they speedily lost control OF it.
The flames swept down to the
Opera House at the southeast cor
ner of Bateman and Buel streets,
and 1t was soon mass of flames.
The fire then swept over to Mrs.
Ashim's grocery store, Mrs.
Moch's restaurant, eight or
ten frame houses, the Sentinel
office, dance house adjoin-
ing, and large BRICK building at
the corner of Clark and Buell.
streets, leaving them all IN very
short time but heaps of ashes or ru-
ined walls. On Main street the
fire devoured the Postoffice aud the
Jackson Hotel, and other less
prominent buildings, and crossing
down the street, took in what was
formerly Hank knights Corner
Saloon, Schaeizlein's Barber Shop,
Tommy Douglass's Saloon, and
then q whole row OF retail
establishments, Paxton g. Co.'s
bank, three large gambling houses
and the Masonic Hall. From this
on it had nothing but a mass OF
smaller frame buildings to contend
With, and thro gh them it tore its
way until fully half the city had
been destroyed. 1t was checked ut
that point, but although the loss,
estimating the area only, Is that
of half the town, at least two
thirds of the property has
heen destroyed, as the buildings
burned down were the most valua-
bile and the stores and other estab-
lishments the most heavily stacked
and the best furnished. AT the
present time it is impossible to es-
innate the loss, the confusion Is so
great; but it will be enormous and
much suffering must ensue among
the people thus suddenly deprived
of their property and homes.
None of the mining property was
injured, of course.

for this article is large, 1t is made
in this country to only a very linn

Now one Newark firm supplies

country, and is rapidly crowdinp
