nothing tangible to feed upon, and the
iireme6 were enabled, by concentrating
an Efforts on the north side OF the
street, TO prevent the spread OF the
flames in that direction. Wooden cor
uices ought to be prohibited within the
fire limits after what we have seen
this morning"
Mr.. B. +. Caldwell and Mr.. John
WaterhOuse also reiterated the state
menr OF Mr.. Peterson regarding the iron
cornice on the B. i. Caldwell building,
aud many citizens concurred In the
statement that had there been wooden
cornlce instead OF iron the great bus
mess houses on the north side OF south
street would have been doomed to de-
struction. Chief Healy and the bremen
generally also expressed the same views.
AT THE. START.
It is the general opinion Of those early
upon the scene Of the FIRE that the flames
must have started a good while before
they were discovered. Mr.. Edward
Hughes, Of the REGISTER, came across
the Market street bride about three
minutes before four o'clock. DE noticed
a strong odor Of wood smoke, and like
most newspaper men, he regarded that
as suspicious, and commenced an In
vestigation. Proceeding down Sixteenth
street towards Main, he noticed the
odor increased, and meeting hack
driver near the new Baer building, ne
pointed to some smoke in the direction
Of the B. & o. depot and asked II that
wasn't fire. The hack driver thought
it was, and immediately commenced
yelling FIRE" while he started bis
horses up the street at a run. Hughes
ran around into South street, and saw

was concerned. but the heavy walls

what the flames failed to DO,
falling upon and against the res
idence, crushing In the roof or the
rear extension, carrying down portion
of the floors with the mass OF brick,
battering out portion of the east wall.
and leaving other walls cracked and
shattered, while the interior OF the resi-
dence was filed with morter, brick,
roofing material, dirt and flooded with
water. Another great section OF heavy
brick wall fell into the yard, covering IL
in places to depth OF three feet with
debris, and when the fire was out the
once handsome residence and Its con-
tents was little more than wreck, and
to make repairs will almost mean the
construction OF new building.
That there was not loss
of life at this point Is but
little less than wonderful, as just oetore
the walls fell there were people AL
about and in the Bieberson residence,
and some OF the bricks fell at the feet
of hremen directing water upon the
( burning factory. Another point OF
danger was on South street. Before
the fire had progressed sufficiently to
drive the fremen out of that street
three Of them were kDeeling at cellar

water into the basement OF the Cald-

Of hsurancs-Ths Origin Of the Fire
Mysisry-Scsnss and Incidents

The FIRE. which originated in the
Caldwell & Peterson iron roofing estab-
lishment at o'clock yesterday morn
Mug, a brief account of which appeared
the second edition Of yesterdays
REGIsrER, was the most serious blaze
visiting this city during the past eight
Tears.
The total loss 10 all parties involved
win reach about SIS, 900, on which there
Is insurance to an equal amount, but un-
fortunately this is not so distributed as
to cover the losses, and the Caldwell s.
Peterson Company will likely lose from
SEQ, 900 to SOS, 900 over and above their
policies, and Mr.. Henry Bieberson's loss
will also likely exceed his insurance a
little. Messrs. B. F. Caldwell and
Waterhouse Bros. are amply covered by
Insurance.
The Caldwell & Peterson building is
total wreck with all its contents, Ak
cept the oil and varnish stored 10 the
vaults under ground. which will likely
be saved. The only other salvage will
be In the way OF scrap iron. Mr.. Bic
berson's residence and place Of business
is pretty we'll wrecked, although it does
not show It so much from front view,
and Mr.. B. f. Caldwells building, on
the north side OF South street, will re-
In ha ch n no
OF repairs, while his loss TO stock will
\ not run over 500, II so much. Perhaps
500 will repair the WaterhOuso Bros.
building, owned by Mr.. A. A. Howell,
and their stock Is
PRACTICALLY INTACT.
J Hubbard Il Paulls loss is nominal.
1.-THE BOstwick Steel Lath Company had
their machinery and considerable stock
hin the Caldwell & Peterson building and
their loss is estimated AT 5000. The
BOstwlck people expected 20 start yes
terday on orders. ID. b. McElwain also
had some goods stored in the Caldwell
& Peterson building, and his loss will
Me $500 or $500. There are other minor
lasses, such as that 70 the Western
DUnlOn Telegraph Company, which had
thirty-eight wires cut and pole or two
damaged. and the total will reach about
the figure Of $4,000 mentioned at the
outset.
Caldwell & Peterson have rented the
! building No. 1910 Market street, and
wlll open an Office there to-day, They
pill be ready to deliver goods before
week is out.
