Duluth and St. Paul have both been
visited by disastrous fires. On Satur.
day evening Munger, Markell & Co.'S
elevator at the former named place
was totally consumed together with
over 200, 900 bushels of wheat and
corn. Seven thousand barrels Of salt
on the dock was also ruined. The
total loss of property is estimated at
$3.50, 900 on which there was but a
light insurance. The fire is supposed
to have been caused by friction. On
Sunday evening the city Of St. Paul
was visited by the most disastrous fire
that ever occurred in its midst, being
the total destruction Of the immense
dry goods house of Auerbach, Finch,
Culbertson & Co., which was the larg.
est establishment Of the kind in the
west outside Of Chicago and st. Louis.
The loss is estimated at over $780,.
600 and the insurance at s542, 900.
The fire originated, in the fourth
story, but from what cause IS not
known. The St. Paul and Mime
apolis fire departments done all in
their power to stay the flames but all
without avail. These two fires are
not only calamities to the cities in in.
