Scorching 1t Ever Had-Fine Buildings
Burned.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Sept. 26.-The most
destructive fire in the history of st.
Joseph started yesterday morning at
o'clock, and it was 2 o'clock in the

Pa tlnent house of Townsend & Wyatt
are in ruins; likewise the Commercial
block, containing the Commercial
bank, the Safety Deposit vaults, the
Central Savings bank and numerous
Offices, etc Likewise the immense
building occupied by the Regnier
& Shoup Crockery Co.
The fire started in the fifth story of
Townsend & Wyatt's department store,
and when first discovered showed only
curl of smoke coming under the cor
nice at the northwest side. Every reel
of the city was brought to the ground
as soon as possible, and every lead of
hose that could be had was promptly
put on, but it was found. to the horror
of all, that the water pressure was in
sufficient. In response to kilograms
Kansas City and Topeka sent assist
ance, but it was of little avail Handi-
capped by the small pressure on the
mains. the firemen fought at a great
disadvantage, and slowly but surely
the fire swept down from floor to floor.
Then the Carbey block across the al
ley east was attacked. and while the
fremen were giving this what atten-
ton they could, the wind, blowing
briskly from the north, swept the
flames across the street, and in a few
moments the Commercial bank and
Central Savings bank were in flames
The total estimated loss is S615, $50
and the total insurance S507, $50.
