as the following special to last nights Bee,
giving the out-lines OF our neighbos'
terrible calamity, would Indicate:
BOWLING GREEN, Nov. This place
was visited this morning by the worst
calamity in its history. About o'clock
an alarm of fire was sounded and the
blaze was found to be located IN 'M's-
chei's bakery on Main street. All
efforts to subdue the fire proved unavail-
ing. and it soon communicated to Kra-
mer & Cheney'S agricultural implement
room, and in very few moments the
entire side of the street, including the
Ross house. the leading hotel of the
town, at the corner of Main and Wooster
streets, was seething mass of fame.
The guests at the hotel We're aroused
and nearly all the baggage and valuables
were saved. The fire then rapidly
communicated with Becker & Wilcox's
livery stable, and thence to the Sentinel
Office across the street. Natural gas
soon commenced to escape from the
pipes, and the fire was materially aided
1t then burned back on Min street
again and consumed the opera house
building and several others on that
street, The last building to burn was
situated nearly two blocks from the
organ of the blaze. The progress of
the work of destruction was arrested
about Q o'clock. The following build
ings were destroyed Meschner's bak-
cry Kramer q Cheney, agricultural
implements Mowery's grocery; Gaz-
cite office; Griffin Bros, notions

furniture, and four barns. The Reed &
Merry block was saved only by heroic
work on the part of the firemen and th'
citizens. The loss on the buildings will
not be heavy, as they were mostly
frame, but the loss on contents will bt
large aud can not be estimated ut this
hour. Most of the stocks of goods de-
stroyed were partially insured. Th'
heat was intense, and most OF the win
dows ON the opposite side of the stree
were melted.
