ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
BALTIMORE, June 14.-One of the largest
fires that ever visited the water front in
Baltimore started at p. III. on the old

be estimated, is nearly $1,000, O00 The
freight sheds of the Bay Line company
were fully stocked with cotton, whisky and
firms. The fire is thought to have origin
ated in the cotton by
SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Quick as flash the flames spread. and

tire water front. The Bay Line wharf

were badly damaged as were the four
masted ice schooners, Wesley, Over,
Mamie, Howard and William Writ.
The haRes were conquered, bat not
until considerable damage had been done.
The rigging and cordage OF the schooner
Augustus v elt were burned away, the
masts and hull charred, and the vessel left
a blackened wreck. 1t is estimated the
damage to the schooner is s25, 00e; insured.
Two barges laden with cotton were
moored to tie Bay line wharf, aud before
relief could reach them the cotton and
barges burned. All around the Bay Line
wharf warehouses were stored with tons
Of the most infiamable material and the
firemen worked like beavers to prevent the
spread of the flames. The heat at times
was distressing and many fremen were
compelled to strip. Many of them
WE'RE EXHAUSTED BY THE HEAT.
During portion of the time the work
was impeded by the streams of molten
resin which flooded the streets and ran
into the water.
On the wharf were 5000 bales of cotton
worth $40 to $50 bale ana 1000 barrels of
whisky worth $50 to So q barrel. Other
freight and wharf property swell this
part of the loss to nearly 100000 parti-
ally insured.
