Fire at San Rrancisce.
SAN FRAscIsoo, Oct. s.-One of the
largest nres for many years past started
this morning shortly after O'Clock, in
the basement Of II. 8. Croker d Co. 3
stationery and printing establishment
on Bush street, between Sansome and
Pine. The building vas 30 constructed
that secess to the point Of danger Was
exceedingly difticuit.spd fer consider
able time the flames held unopposed
sway in the center Of the building. The
fire eat iis way rapidly forward and in
all directions. Every efsrt to check its
ravaRes proved futile, and when il Vas
pronounced fully under control nothing
vas left of the structure but the walls.
With the building vent everything it
contained. During the early part of
the battle with the fire, q nun Der Of
treInen were in the building doing eff
fectlve work. On the ground floor was
a group of ireGen. Suddenly, and al
most without warning the ceiling above
them cracked, and with a deafeniae
Hoise fell upsn and buried them. The
note of alarm was given, and
Immediate efforts we're made to
rescue them. Felix Desmond vas
taken out comparatively uninjured !;
George Burr Was badly bruised and
otherwise in jured; John Fay Was found
nearly sudocated, but soon revived:
Martin Harmon was discovered. and
thoogh words were exchanged With
him. he had to be left to his fate; Peter
Healy was not found. and it is almos
certain that both VI the latter are mar
tyrs TO their duty. Though the fire vas
chiefly confined TO the building occu-
pied by Croker 4 Co., it did some
damage to rear bu ldings which fronted
on Sansone street. To these latter,
however, the grestest damage was by
water, which flooded all the easements
IN the vicinity. Among those most
seriously injured in this way are
Sseitzsr, Sacks & Co. dealers in fancy
shoe manufacturers. and Friedlander 4
Co, dealers IN bats and csps. In the
same building occupied BY Croker 4
Co. were also Chamberlain & Ingalls,.
eneravers, owning considerable valuable
plate and jewelry, aud the mandatory
of Geo. G. Shreve & Co.
