OF bill granting additional pensions to

e-s -rrrIaC rHElH. Livery enSlne in the city was called into reqaisition but the fear that it was not adequate to the emergency caused Chief gcannel u summon assistance from the Oak land fire department which was promp tly rendered. Meanwhile the fire con
 tinued to rage and soon every window in the burning building fronting Mar ket street was curtained with a sheet of flame while from the roof of the building dense clouds of smoke con stantly penetrated by monster tongues of flame rose high in the air and float eastward towards Oakland. While the whole interior of the building was thus completely wrapped in flames, a crash was heard and the top flooring on which the printing ress and plant had been standing gave way ppecipita ting half the molten mass of metal to the floor below this in turn being half eaten through by flames gave way and 50 on each floor iZ. turn crashing down until nothing of the interior was left
 The fire, however, had not confined its rayages 10 the Bancroft building alone, but had leaped the narrow width of Jesse street in the rear and soon had ignited a dozen or more smaller houses used mostly as dwell ings. Most of these were entirely con sumed or so badly wrecked that they will have to be razed. The flames also spread to buildings on each side of the doomed Bancroft edifice, About 5:15 the rear part of the west wall of Bancroft's building fell with a crash and demolished the small building alongside of it fronting Jesse street, which took fire and buried several persons under the debris. All were rescued with but slight injuries. Soon after this the rear wall fell and this was followed by the front portion of the west wall. Adjoining Emanuels on the west and fronting Market street, was 8 two story building occu- pied as piano salesroom, trunk fac tory and frame factory. When the

building remained. It was not until an hour and half after the fire start ed that it was gotten unded control.
 The losses are estimated at about three quarters of million dollars, di- vided as near as can be aseertained as follows: A. L. Bancroft & Co.,. build ing $120,000; insurance, $70,000 stock and plant, $4000 900; insurence, $120, GOO; L. & E. Emappel, stock and fur niture, $120,00Q; insurence, $30,OOO; the other buildings and contents on which tFere were little insurance, will probably make up the balance of the three quarters of million of dollars.
 A number of persons are reported killed and seriously injured. Patrick Beatty, aged 45, employed in the trunk factory, adjoining EmanuePs, was caught in the falling ruins and taken out in dying condition. He was removed to the city hospital where he died shortly afterword. Jack Curran, fireman, who had leg broken at the Crocker fire, sustained the same injury today. There are about 250 people in Bancroft's and EmanuePs establishments, including a large num- Der of girls employed in Bancrofts, who when the alarm was sounded throughout the building, made a stampede fer the stairway leading to the streets, fortunately however, all escaped in safety. A fve-year-old boy of Mir. Baron. blacksmith living on Broadway street near Stockton, while viewing the fire from the roof of his fathers house, lost his balance aud was killed.

It was dark and he held the candle as he took out the goods and piled excelsior at his side. The candle fell from his hand into the inh.m- mable material and like flash blazed about him He jumped on it and tried to stamp it out but in vain. The flames spread rapidly and the smoke filled the basement Wenrel escaped by the rear door.
 John Fleming member of truck 1To. ? stationed on Broadway street near Stockton stro ct was found dead in his bed at the Truck house to-day. He worked very hard at the fire yester- day and his death is supposed to be the result of exhaustion.
 E. Emanuel reports to-day tbat James B!anau mattress maker in his employ is believed to be Iying under the deOrir. His work shop WAS under t pavement and it is supposed that his egress was cut off before he knew of it. Inquiry at his residence this afternoon developed the fact that he had not been home, His family be- lieved that he had met his cealh iu the fire. This makes three victims to yesterdays fire.
