trous confagration Of which the annals
of history make mention.
The preceding day the greatest fire in
the history of the city had swept away
several blocks in the West Division, but
this had been lost sight of and forgotten
in the awful holocaust which ensued on
the 8th and 9th.
At midnight of that dreadful Sunday
the flames leaped across the river and
assailed the commercial quarter OF the
great metropolis. Despite the frantic
efforts of the brave firenen, it's course
could not be stayed. 1t soon burst all
attempted bonds Of restraint, and, like
an insatiate demon, swept on, through
blocks devoted to sqaalor. vice, and pow
erty, to the brick and marble palaces
beyond.
So rapid was the march of the fire
fend that within two hours long lines of
magnificent .fre-p proof" buildings had
gone up In flame and smoke, and down
in twisted iron and broken fragments OF
brick and stone. AT 3ro'clock the Court
House, with It's invaluable records, sue
cumbed to the enemy, the great bell

ed. The fire swept on, crossed the river
to the northward, and devastated the
section lying along the lake for dis
lance of two and q half miles.

the grandest as we'll as the. most appal-
ling ever presented to the eyes OF mortal.
From an elevated position the appear
ance was that of q huge sea OF fame,
sweeping In vast breakers and pillows
over the doomed city. Al square OF
substantial buildings would be submerged
like d child's tiny heap OF sand upon
the beach OF the ocean. Often the de-
youring element seemed to the mortified
spectators to take personal form, and
sweep moekingly down mon piles Of
