Reports received tonight say that four
teen lives have been lost IN the fire, aud
that loss to property will reach ten or
fifteen million dollars. The fire is still
raging. Two-thirds of the city is des-
troyed, and from the present outlook
the whole city will be swept away. a

woods about are also on fire. The gen

PIE are homeless, and nearly ali are
