THE NORTH SIDE BLAZE.
Fully $l5o,ooO Worth of Buildings
Their Contents Burned.

Their Contents Burned.
About o clock Wednesday morning
flames were suddenly seen to burst forth
from the rear of the Burlington house,
owned by S. +. Packer, on North Monroe
street about a block from the approach
to the bridge.
1t was some time before any one had
the presence of mind to turn in an alarm.
When once an alarm was given, how
ever, the entire department responded
with great alacrity.
Chief Weinbrenner was very cool and
directed his men with good judgment
throughout the entire night, never los
ing his head once.
All the buildings In the block where
the fire started were two and three-s,ory
frame structures, as dry as straw, and
burned like tinder.
In an almost incredible space Of time
the flames spread from the Burlington
south, and enveloped the Washington
Water Power Company's buildings, the
easements and first floors of which were
occupied by stores Except where vacant)
aud the uppers as lodging The
inmates of the latter all had very narrow
escapes from death, the fire came on
them SO suddenly. Very few escaped
with anything except their night clothes.
Probably dozen succeeded in saving
their trunks and wearing apparel, but
the majority were compelled to leave
every thing and flee for their lives.
Twenty minutes after the fire started
the flames leaped across a vacant lot and
again the large printing establish ment
of II. w. Greenberg d Co. was doomed.
No thought was entertained of the
bridge going, but suddenly dense
cloud of black smoke was seen to leap
mp all around the approach, and soon
the flames shot up through the cracks
and cable slot. Underneath the ap-
proach was a large quantity ofcrude petro
leum, used in oiling the machinery and
pulleys supporting the cable. When the
flames reached the oil room the heat be-
came so intense that the firemen were
nearly overcome. They however, bravely
held their position and vainly tried to
check the last spreading flames.
Most OF the persons who had been
burnt out sought refuge on the bridge,
thinking they would surely be safe
there. When the approach took fire
Sergeant shannon and OH Ger Bob Viii
son cleared the bridge, driving the peo-
Pile south. A cart laying out hose
just barely succeeded in crossing before
the whole north end of the structure
was In flames.
Seeing that they could do nothing for
the buildings ON the west side of Mon.
roe south ol Bridge street, Chief Vein
brenncr directed his men to give their
en,ire attention TO the four story build
ing owned by the Washington Water
Power Company, known As No. |. on
the southeast corner of Monroe and
Bridge streets, Cutter & Curtis lumber
yard and the Ohio block. This they did
with will. Although they were unable

A TERRIFIC CATAsTRopu x.


DENVER. July 22.-At midnight last
night occurred n teri, fc catastrophe that
has temporarily isolated the towns up
Clear creek canyon from intercourse with
the world. At that hour there was an
immense cloudhurst near the forks of
the creek, pouring u deluge of water
within the narrow walls OF the canyon,
completely demolishing the two iron
railway bridges ut the forks, and, as
far as can be learned, annihilating all
other structuresl the viacinity. The
restaurant, the depot and II the out.
houses were swept away in the flood.
Fortunately II Is believed no lives were
lost. The immense body Of water laden
with wreckage went tearing down the
canyon, with the result that to-day from
the forks TO Golden there is scarcely a
vestige of the railroad lett. The greater
portion of the road bed is washed away,
and means OF communication are de-
stroyed
After the cloudburst n furious hail
storm set in, and it is reported that hail
a foot deep is lying IN the canyon. At
III O'Clock this morning train loaded
with bridges and material and conveying
20 men left Denver for the scene oi
destruction. 1t will be about three day s
before the road is repaired.

kilograms from Central City, Colo.
this afternoon report heavy rains in that
section of the state the past three days.
This afternoon the storm eliminated IN
heavy cloudburst over the Winnebago
and Maryland mountains doing heavy
damage along the line of the Colorado
Central road. The track and bridges
were carried away, and traffic is badly
delayed The mail facilities are also
cut otf from Four Mile Gulch and other
points adjacent.
Two women and a child, living on
Beaver brook were swept away by the
raging torrent and drowned. = large

Mr.. Carter interviewed.


For some time il has been rumored
that Representative Carter, of Montana,
conts smpiated retiring at the expiration
OF his present term In congress. When
asked as TO this to-day, Mr.. Carter, said;
Yes, L have written q letter to Chair
man Scligman, of the state committee,
Withdrawing my name from considera-
tion ut the approaching convention.
have no objection to giving the matter
publicity, and will show you the letter"
The letter reads thus:
WAsHfNGToN, July l7.-IIon. II. j.
Seligman, Chairman oil thc Republican
State Central Committee, Helena, Mont.
Dear Sir; Observing in a private
communication, and also in tho public
prints, a tendency to assume that | may
be considered an aspirant for reelection
to congress, desire to announce through
you to the rcpu hlicans of Montana that
| do not seek nomination, and will not
be a candidate at the coming election.
| make this announcement in advance
OF your call for the state convention, to
the end that possible coniu sion may he
avoided. Assuring you of my high ap-
probation of the honors conferred on
me oy the party, anl very respectfully
yours, 4. ii. CARTER.
When asked why he was retiring
Mr. Carter said; Il believe that Montana
will have a republican majority OF 5000
at the next election, but in 1855 ! went
into the fight reluctantly, after being
urged to head the ticket. My business
affairs were not then in shape to admit
of my absence from the state without
sacrifice. In 1880 our democratic breth-
rem consolidated, and presented such a
Formidable combination that many of
the republican leaders feared defeat.
Under these circumstances did not feel
at liberty to shrink from what seemed
plain duty to the party, and, besides, /
had agreed to serve two years, and my
election was to serve out the unexpired
te. IN as a delegate"
