Flames Sweep Away.
? MILWAUKEE, October 2S.-Scores of
blocks in the Milwaukee business
center, together with hundreds of
frame houses, were destroyed by fire
tonight.
Commencing at $50 o'clock in an
oil establishment on East Water
street, next to the river, the flames,
driven by fearful hurricane which
was blowing, spread with frightful
rapidity to the lake over a half mile
to the east.
It is utterly impossible to estimate
the loss with any degree of accuracy.
Even a complete list of the big bust
ness houses cannot be obtained,
while to these must be added the
small Individual losses of hundreds
of property-owners whose houses
and household goods have been de-
stroyed.
AS it is the loss will probably
amount to S6,0O0,000. Commencing
in the establishment of the Union
Oil Company at ATS East Water
street, the fire was burning tiercely
when the city department reached
the scene. Owing to the hurricane
that was blowing at the time the
men were almost unable to do any
thing, and for any practical results
might as well have done nothing. In
spite Of this they worked bravely
and did everything in their power,
risking their lives in burning build
ings and endeavoring by tearing
down blocks in advance Of the path
of the fire to check it.
This was in vain and until after
midnight the flames continued along
their way from the establishment on
East Water street, where the blaze
started. The path of the fire was in
the shape of an immense V, the con
Meeting point Of the two bars being
in the oil establishment, while one
line extended directly east to the
lake, the other running to the lake
in southerly direction. Through
the immense factories from four Il
seven stories high, which were sup
posed to be freproof, the flames
spread with as much ease as through
the frame cottages which they at
tackled further east.
After wiping out factories anC
wholesale establishments the fir,
found an easy prey in scores O
blocks filed with frame house.
which extend east Of Milwaukee
street. From these the flames leapet
to the frame houses of the Mil
waukee and Western. These caugh
on the extreme southern end and il
moment were ablaze along tn
whole length, over two blocks.
Adjoining were the freight yard
of the same railroad, as we'll as o
the Chicago and Northwestern
These yards were filled with hun
dreds of loaded cars, all of whic
were quickly consumed. The fir
continued along its way, bein;
fought at every step by the fremer
until after midnight, when it wa
finally got under control.
