Destructive COhfiasrnstOn nt Eure-
Ea. Nevada.
EUREKA, New, April ia hur-
ricane was blowing all of yesterday
and last night, and feeling of in
security WAS felt by all. Watchful-
ness among property owners was
the rule, and tiremen took extra
precautions, their apparatus being
in place in readiness for an emei-
gency. The emergency presented
itself, aud care, watchfulness ard
precaution were Of no avail. Pre-
cisely at midnight the dreaded cry
of "FireW rang out OF the air, and
flames were seen bursting from the
rear end of the Opera House, huge
frame building on Bateman
street, running from Buel
TO Spring street. The alarm
had hardly been given before
the structure was wrapped in
flames, ana it was evident to sAil
that an immense conflagration
would result. A fearful gale blew
directly down the cai1on and the
wind caught the flames on its
wings ami hurled them across the
streets, communicating the fire in
all directions. Mrs Beene's dwell
ing-hOuse and the Ashim building
on the opposite corner were
the first to catch, and after
these were enveloped in flames
The fire spread like u race-horse,
leaping from house to house anu
building to building, until it run
It's course and died away from want
of material to feed upon. The con-
flagration made clean track down
Spring and Buel streets and the
east side of Main street for nearly
half mile, spending its force
finally at the foundry and the
adobe boarding house close to the
Eureka Consolidated mining
works. Not a building is left
standing in all this area save Pax
ton & Co.'s bank and the SentinepS
stone job office. The fire crossed
Buel street, two or three doors
below Ryland's corner, and in
moment the Ell Dorado building
caught, and this doomed the east
side of Main street, the immense
pile burning with intense heat and
fierce rapidity. The firemen made
grand rally and most gallant
fight all the way up the thorough
fare, drencbing buildings with -
flood of wafer aud contesting every
inch, step by step, until Bobbins
street was reached and the danger
over in that quarter. Their WON
derful efforts and It's results can be
best appreciated by all eXamina-
ton of the burned awnings, the
blistered and seorched fronts and
the broken windows that are n
rule from the Powder House 10 the
Metamora furnace. Tue fire swept
everything in its course, including
fire-proof buildings. The origin of
the fire is unknown. Fortunately
no lives were lost. About 400 fam
lilies have been rendered homeless,
and they are In q destitute condi-
ton. A Relief Committee has been
appointed, and S., 1000 have already
been collected. The members of
the Committee are doing all in their
power to alleviate the suffering,
which is great.

embarrassed by the offer of the AS
