SAN FRANcIsco, August 24.-At a quar-
ter past 1 O'Clock this morning a fire broke
| out in the row of buildings at the end of
| the extension of the Geary Street Railroad,
on First Avenue, adjoining the Bay Dis
trict track. The buildings, which were all
new, were recently erected at a cost OF
sec, 900. They were occupied principally
by G.. Damon, H. Muller, Monnier and
others, and were used as saloons, concert
halls, shooting galleries, restaurants, etc.
| The fire was discovered by one of the en-
| ployes of the railroad company, and he
stated that his attention was called to the
spot by a loud report, followed by an inn
mense sheet Of flame, which rose into the
air about so feet. A brisk breeze was blow
ing, and the flames quickly enveloped the
whole row. The isolated position of the
buildings and the remoteness from any
water supply, preclnded the possibility Of
saving anything at ali. The upper stories
we're occupied as tenements, and the rapid
ity with which the fire spread gave small
opportunity to any of the occupants for
saving any of their household effects. As
it was, some Of them narrowly escaped
| with their lives. The total loss is estimat.
ed at $4,000, partially covered by insur-
ance
Only four buildings were burned by the
fire at the Bay District track this morning,
and the loss will not exceed S25 900.

rounded the house and demanded the
rebels, but the employees on the ranch re.
fused to surrender them. The troops re-
turned to the border for instructions, say
ing that they would return. In the mean
time, word had been sent to Arivacia, and
