Great Fire at Savannah.
SAVANNAH, Ca, April Cat 6:55 o'clock
tonight fire broke out in shOw-window
of ID. II. Hogan's dry goods store. corner of
BroughtOn and Barney streets, while a man
was lighting a gas-jet. Soon the fire had
run to almost every part of the building,
and those in it had barely time to escape.
The fire was communicated to the crockery
store of James H. Douglas & Co.. immedi-
ately east of Hogan's, and it was all ablaze
in a jiffy. A high wind prevailing con-
tributed to spread the flames, and there
building is one of the finest business blocks
in the city, and its destruction represents
at least $4,000. The fire then
brick building known as odd-feIlows' Hall,
and it was destroyed. 1t represents a loss
of $125 900. Among it's occupants was the
Young, Mems Christian Association and
several ~store-keepers on the ground tlooor.

also destroyed; loss, $1,000 to $4,000. The
fire next spread from the corner of Barnard
and State streets through twelve or fifteen
brick houses, destroying them. These rep

sparks, one of which lodged on the steeple
of the Independent Presbyterian Church,
corner of U1l and South Broad streets, four
or five blocks from the starting point of the
fire. The church was destroyed, as was
also it's handsome brick Sunday-schOol
building and four or five contiguous dwell

and all were needed in the bust
ness part of the city. No at
tempt was made to fight the fire
at the church. The loss on church, chapel
and contents is 500, 600. Loss on dwellings
in the vicinity at least $35, 600. In the
meantime the fire had communicated to the
cupola on the large four-story brick build
ing used as a store for paints, oils and build
ers' materials by Andrew Hanley. The
loss on this building and it's contents is
probably $4,000. Across the street from

the Savannah Guards battalion, which was
destroyed; loss, $85, 600. Ten or fifteen
wooden dwellings were also burned, on
which the loss is probably S15, 900. 1t is
impossible to tell where the fire will stop,
as sparks are starting new outbursts in

been asked to send engines. The total loss
will doubtless reach 81. SOC. 600. and the in
