The entire business portion OF Spokane
Falls, Washington Territory, with the ex-
ception Of one mill, was detroyed by lire on
the night of Aug. 4. The loss will reach
s. 900, 900. The fire started in lodging
house on Railway avenue. n large mum
Der OF frame buildings and several grain
elevators were near the lodging house, and
soon after the fire broke out they were
abaze. A strong wind was blowing
toward the city at the time, and the blazo
was soon beyond the control Of the firemeD.
The flames leaped from street TO street,
and nothing could be done but let the
flames have their own way until they
reached the river and then endeavor To
prevent the fire from reaching the build
ings on the opposite side. The flames
swept through the city aud one business
block after another was consumed, every
thing being burned TO the waters edge.
The fire department was stationed on the
other side Of the stream and prevented fly
ing timbers from setting fire 10 the build
ing there. Only few dwellings were des-
troyed as the residence portion OF the city
was not visited by the fire.
The burnt district includes all that part
OF the city from the Northern Pacific raj,
way TO the river and from Lincoln 10
Washington streets.
Several persons are known 10 have per-
ished and several more were injured by
leaping from windows Charles Davis Of
Y "a
was awakened by flames breaking through
the door of his room on the third floor
He jumped from the window and was
shockingly mangled and died in few
minutes. a woman, whose name is un
known. leaped from the second story of the
Pacific hotel and was killed.
The fire spread with such astonishing
rapidity that il is believed that many were
cut off before they were aware OF their
danger A dozen large buildings were
blown up with giant powder, by order of
the mayor but even this proved futile.
The Northern Pacific railroad is probably
the heaviest loser, the magnificent new
freight warehouse being destroyed. Their
loss, including freight burned, will reach
about 81 900 900. All provisions and sup
plies were burned, and there will necessa-
rily be much suffering for several days
Appeals for help have been sent out, and
Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and several
neighboring towns have already responded

Henry W. Grady personally known 10 many
members Of the large colony of southerners vins IN
New York. and among them the encouragement oi his
