Disastrous Fire.
LACROSSE, WIS, April 6.-Fire broke out
in Paups lumber yard at 10 o'clock this
morning and soon went beyond control
of the firemen, who summoned aid from
neighboring cities. At 2 o'clock it was ev-
ident that the large factory of Segelke,
Kohlhaus & Co. was doomed. A blaze
broke out in the store house of sash fac
tory on Second street, causing a complete
flame of fire for one block in length. The
frame store house and sheds burned with
lightning rapidity. and the people on the
east side Of Second street began moving
out. The heat became so intense on Sec
ond street, from Cass street south, that
people were driven from that quarter.
Flames and smoke leaped in all direc-
tions from Vincent's lumber yard, fronting
on Second street, and the scene was not
only awful in appearance, but grand in
magnitude and extent. burning thousands
of bundles of shingles, window sash, etc.
which had been saved from Segelke, Kohl
haus & Co.'s ware rooms. At IL o'clock the
work of tearing down the lumber Office of
J. Vincent was commenced, in the hope of
checking the rapid progress of the ap-
preaching flames, which had gained con-
troll of the large warehouse on Cass street,
of Segelke, Kohlhaus & Co., and pro-
gressed rapidly despite the work of the
tiremen and hundreds of citizens. who
worked very hard and faithfully. 1t
soon became evident that the build
ing on Cass, as we'll as those
fronting on Second street, were doomed.
The fire was completely under control by
2:S0 o'clock, the departments from Sparta,
and Winona having rendered excellent aid.
Engines from st. Paul and Minneapolis
were ready to start by special train, but
were telegraphed to stop. A careful
estimate of the loss places the total at be-
tween 100000 to 81 100000.
