A BAD BLAZE.

Yesterday morning about O'Clock
fierce fire alarm was given by steamers in
the harbor, engines on the tracks and fire
bells. Fire was discovered in the roof of
one Of Messrs. Halliday Bros ware houses,
just below The Halliday Hotel, and though
prompt Efforts were made by the steamers
with their powerful pumping apparaIuses
and also by the ire department OF the city,
the most that could be done was to confne
the flames to the one building,
The fire was discovered before it had
made very much Roadway, near one Of the
tlues, which fact, in the absence of any
positive knowledge as to the origin, leads
to the conclusion that sparks from the aue
ignited the roof which was very dry. The
building was about two hundred feet long,
seventy-dve wide, and two stories higha
contained a large quantity of flour and
some hay. Efforts were made to save the
contents, and twenty-five or thirty barrels
Of floor and fe " pieces of Office furniture
were saved; but the flames spread so rap.
| idly that further efforts in this direction
had to be abandoned and the whole build
Ing and contents we're utterly destroyed,
The terry boat, tugs, and transfer steamers

tant servlce,a in view Of the fact that the
city's fire department found great difficulty
TO reach the seat of the flames because Of
the peculiar surroundings, 1t wss due
principally to these steamers, especially to
the McComb, that the lower warehouse was
not also caught and destroyed This
might have resulted in the burning Of the
oilsta'ion of Chess, Carley Il Co., and the
explosion OF the huge tanks filed with oil
would have created fearful havoc. But tho
city lire department was out in full force,
On good time, aud did creditable work.
The Illinois Central. railroad company
had twelve or fifteen passenger coaches
standing along the tracks in front of the
building, and six or eight freight cara on
the track right under the caves of the
flaming roof. Agent II. G, DePew was
one OF the first men on the ground aud

cecded ia removing all Of them out of
harms way before they were caught by the
fire which was being blown directly to-
ward them; but the heat was 10 intense
that several coaches standing five hundred
yards away were slightly scorchcd. One
freight car partly laden with flour was to-
tally destroyed, as It stood on the same
track close to the building with the other
freight cars, but was detached from them.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
conkIing Writing n Book.

Conk1fnR Writing Book.
 WASHINGTON, June 17.-It is reported here that ex-Senator Conkling is writing book upon the political history of the last quarter of century. It's real object, it is said, will be to present certain features of the politics of the country which Mir. Blaine might per haps not present in light satisfactory to NIT. Conkling. Republicans and friends of Conkling have felt much uneasiness in regard to the probable revelations of Blaine's book and it's effect, and it is supposed that this plan has been hit upon to eeunteract the Plumed Knights efforts. Conkling's rare ability in preserving the details of political events, his thorough familiarity with the iR- side workings of parties and with events in and about Washington, coupled with his reputation, it is believed, will make the work equally successful as business enterprise and as political measure. It is understood that his plan is to push the work forward and, if possible, bring it out before Blaine's book appears.
