A DISASTROUS FIRE.

THE GRAND CENTRAL WAREHOUSE
IN CHICAGO DEsTROYED-NINETY
PER CENT. OF THE CONTENTS
WERE TEAS AND COFFEEs IN
BOND-THE LOSS ESTIMATED AT
S1,50O.0OO.
CHICAGO, March 26.-The Central
Warehouse, at the corner of Rush and
North Water streets, took fire at about
4 o'clock this morning, and, with its
valua BILE store of teas and coffees, was
burned to the ground. entailing an
estimated loss of between 81 ,250 900
and $1.5U0, 900, AS the water from the
dozens Of engine nozzles soaked
down the contents of the building,
the basement was soon filed with
water, and when the 40 900 cases Of tea
began to boil, streams of tea ran from
the windows and doors. The dock, for
q distance of 100 feet. was flooded with
the amber colored liquid that poured
like small cataract into the river.
The steam arising from this perfumed
the air, blocks away.
The building was a six-story brick
structure, which cost, when built in
1872, $4,000. Aid. Manniere. the
manager, Is satisfied that the fire was
Of incendiary origin. This is the third
fire in the structure within year
which can be accounted for in no other
way.
About 80 per cent. In value OF the
contents was tea In bond, as it was
Government warehouse. Besides this,
there were few thousand packages of
coffee and other miscellaneous articles.
The tea was owned by firms in vari-
Gus cities in all parts Of the country,
which makes it extremely difficult
to accurately estimate individual
losses, ar insurance was, doubtless,
placed elsewhere in some cases. An
effort was made to ascertain at the
Custom House the exact value of the
tea bonded in the warehouse by outside
firms. The Custom House books indi.
Gated that there was not a pound OF
tea in the building, as permit for the
removal of the last of it had been
issued. 1t was very evident that this
statement was incorrect, as the oil fac
tories of all who were in the nelghbor-
hood would testify. At the store of
Messrs. Fitch and Rowland. who are
among the heaviest losers. 1t was
stated that there were In the ware
house between 81, ,000 and 10000 cases
Of tea.
The wide discrepancy between the
statement of the Deputy Collector and
that Of the merchant was explained by
Mr.. Manierre, who said it was true the
tea had just been released from bond,
but, Notwithstanding that it had thus
passed from the Government officers
hands, 1t was still in the warehouse
awaiting removal when the fire took
nlace.

have so far faileG. riie agtE13 Oh the
steamer Conserva, or Madrid, which
sailed from here week ago for SANTANA,
deny that the Wreckage is that of their
vessel. They say that it does not COR
respond in any particular with that of
their vessel. The agents of the Clyde
Line steamer Saginaw also denied that
the wreckage belonged to their vessel.
A possible clue to the ShipWreck was
furnished by two incoming vessels this
morning. The Atlas Line Steamer

rived early to-day, reports having
passed ON Saturday noon white
painted steamer, disabled and bound
South, showing the German colers.
The brig g. B. Lockart, which also
got in this morning from San Domingo,
brings more definite report of ship
In distress. The Lockhart's captain
said that on March 10Th, in latitude
36.45, longitude 73.Ul, he spoke the
British steamer erdmandall in a dis
abled state. The Yerdmandall had a
heavy list to the starboard, her decks
were on line with the water, her ma
chinery was disabled and her sails
blown away. The disabled vessel dis
played series of signals indicating
distress, and hoisted a request to have
her condition telegraphed to the Eng
lish Lloyds. The Yerdmandall left
New Orleans for ROuen, France, on
March 9th.
On the Maritime Exchange to-day it
was thought probable that the latter
vessel had gone down and that the raft
and driftwood passed by the Colorado
on Saturday were AL that were left to
tell the story of her destruction.

was received at the New York Mari
