SAN FRANCISCO, June 20-The most dis
astrous fire since the great lumber fire two
years ago was first noticed at $3.50 this morn
ing by the steward OF the Olympic Club, in
the Morton Block, on Post street. Before
he could turn in the alarm the fire had
got well under way, and when the
engines arrived hope ceased of saving
the upper portion of the building. The fire
patrol immediately turned attention to
saving the dry goods of O'Connor & Moffatt,
and this they succeeded in doing by means
of tarpaulins At o'clock the rear wall fell
out into Morton street, inhabited from one
end to the other by the demi-monde. and
great CONSERVATION was created among the
occupants, who sought refuge in
all quarters. At o'clock the
fire department had succeeded in over
coming the intensity of the flames, saving
the two lower stories and the adjoining build
ings, fortunately protected by heavy walls of
masonry. the first two floors were occu-
pied by the dry-goods establishment

by the Acme billiard parlors, owned by

earthquake of that year, had lately been con-
sidered fire-trap by the fire authorities,
and in proof of this the insurance COM
DaEies have charged l. u per cent premium.
The building with improvements was valued
at $4,000; insured for $44, 600. OConnor &

P. d. Armour, head OF the great packing
firm of Armour & Co, says he doesn't
believe there will be another failure

for one of the failures to-day except lack of
nerve; that if this firm had called on its
friends they would have seen them through;
that, as it appears now, there is no more I'M
certainty for the future than usual; that the
provision trade to-day was immense, never
better; that orders for provisions are coming
in from all parts of Europe and this country;
that the property had changed hands and is
now in possession of merchants who can
carry it and have facilities for distributing it;

refused it, included the acceptance of a
