FIRES.
A disastrous fire occurred in Oakland on the
morning of the 9th Septemberr, resulting in the
complete destraetion of the Galindo Hotel q large
brick structure,r and one of the finest hotels on the
coast outside of San Francisco. Shortly after 2
O'Clock in the morning an alarm of fire was turned
in from the intersection of Seventh and Broadway
streets, but before the department had arrived ct the
scene of the conAagration the two upper stories were
enveloped in flames. The glaring light was visible
in almost every window, and the reflection could
be seen for miles around. It appears that Seymour
Severance. q ledger in the top story, was awakened
by Q sitting odor of burning wood and paint. Rising,
and repairing to the main hall. he discovered that
the building was on fire, ran through the corridors
shouting fire d at the top of his voice, and thereby
succeeded in awaking the other dodgers. and in an
instant the greatest excitement prevailed. Men.
women, and children in their nightclothes, rushed
pell-mell through fire and smoke down the stairs
into the streets, ~shrieking and crying in their fright.
The flames crept along to the top floor, which finally
tumbled with q crash, carrying along with il Alfred
8. Baker and Tim Golden, of Hose No. 1. The former
sustained q conclusion of the brain, together with
internal injuries. the latter escaping without serious
hurt. The fire was not controlled till the ground
floor had been reached, though it was badly damaged
by water.

wrapped in flames. Alarm after alarm was sent ont.

but it was soon evident that the entire building
would be destroyed, as the strong south wind that was
blowing swept everything before il. Il is thought
