Further Particulars of the san
francisco Fire.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 20.-The Nor
ton Block fire is the most disastrous
since the great lumber fire Of two years
ago. 1t was first noticed at $3.50 this
morning by the steward Of the Olympic
Club. When the engines arrived all
hope had ceased of saving the upper
portion Of the building. The fire patrol
Immediately turned their attention to
save the dry goods of O'Connor, Moffatt
& Co At 4 o'clock the rear wall fell
out into Morton street. At o'clock
the fire department succeeded in over
coming the intensity of the flames and
saved the two lower stories. The first
two floors were occupied by the dry
goods establishment OF O'Connor, Moi
TAFT & Co, the third story by the Acme
Billiard Parlors, owned by the Bruins
wick & Dalke Company, of Chicago, and
the upper story by the Olympic Club.
The building was erected i'll 1868 and,
although it withstood the heavy Garth
quake of that year, it has been lately
considered fire trap by the fire author
tiles. As proof of this the insurance
companies have charged one and one
half per cent. premium. The building,
| with improvements, was valued ut $3.50,
| 900, and was insured for S44 900.
OConnor, Motfatt & Co., carried stock
eff half million, insured for S245, 900 in
the Royal of Norwich, the Union Il
National for $50, 900, and the Imperial
London, Northern and Queen for S25,
900, they being the heaviest insurers.
The Olympic Club property was valued
at $40 900; insured for $4,000, divided
among the Pacific Coast companies
The Acme Billiard Parlors' loss $40, 900;
insured for So, 900, divided between the
| standard Fire of London, and the Fire
Insurance Association of JJnuon. Sew.
| eral accidents oe0urred but no lives were
lost nor serious injuries sustained.
quicker Time Scheuuie OFfriohu'
OGDEN, Utah, June 20. The Denver
4 Rio Grande, the Atchison, Topeka &
santa Fe and the Burlington & Missouri
River Railroads announce their inten-
ton of changing time jointly on July lst.
Close connections will be made with the
Central Pacific at this point, and the run
ming schedule will be sufficiently re-
duced to afford practically the same
through time between San Francisco or
Ogden and the Missouri river as will be
made under the new schedule of the
Union Pacific. 1t is also probable that
second daily passenger train will be
placed on their lines east of Ogden. As
all the roads are in good condition a
competition in fast time across the cont.
nent seems imminent.
