The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-28


Across Fourth street from the hotel was
a large baybarn belonging to the San
Francisco Hay and Grain Company. Men
stood upon the roof and kicked off blazing
embers and tore up kindling shingles, but
in vain. Just eight minutes elapsed rom
the time the Southern Pacific Hotel burst
into bright flames till the haybarn fell in.
This, however, ended the advance of the
flames in that direction. The Washing
ton Hotel, on the southwestern corner of
Bluxome and Fourth streets, was threat
ened and was actually on fire three or four
times, but was only partially destroyed.
The brick stables of the Pacific Improve
ment Company and the big brick winery
of S. Lachman & Co. furnished an effect
uaI barrier to further progress by the
flames and soon the fire was in that section
pretty well under control.

few little streams that rose languidly to
the height of the first stories of the build
ings. For a solid hour and half an en-
CINE stood rattling its balance wheel on
Brannan street, unable to throw so much
as a glass of water on the furnace.
In the midst of all the clash and roar
and hurly-burly, the falling of buildings,
the new burst of flames and the binding
rush of smoke and shower of sparks; the
electric wires, telephone, telegraph, light
and power-forming a network over
head throughout the entire district
were a constant menace, and nobody
Will ever know the number of
narrow escapes that resulted from their
fall. During the early part OF the fire the
electric-light wires on Bryant street
emitted a swapping battery of sparks,
warning the firemen. A telephone
message was, after time, sent TO the
company and the current was shut off.
Later the poles supporting the wires fell
here and there throughout the burning
area, bringing their wires with them to the
great danger and disadvantage of those
within the lines.

in the rear of the eugine-house of the San
Francisco box factory, operated at 515 to
519 Fifth street by Carrack, Williams &
Wright. Their night watchman, A. w.
Collins of 627 Webster street, discovered
the flames. He raised the cry of fire, and
the policeman on the beat turned in an
alarm from box 63 at the corner of Har i
son and Fifth streets. Second, third and
fourth alarms followed in quick succession
and soon the entire department was at the
scene, but those who were on the spot
speak of an unaccountable delay in getting
the first stream on the fire.
Meanwhile outsiders were making vigor-
Gus efforts to control the flames, but a
strong northwesterly wind was blowing
and the confagration spread rapidly in all
directions. To the southwark on Fifth
street were innumerable small mills and
furniture manufactures and these were as
grain before the reaper. To the north,
on the corner of Bryant street, was
three-story building, occupied by
Main q, Winchester's saddle and
collar mandatory. For a time it was
thought possible to save this, but John
Horstman's s oicarbonate factory adjoining
caught from the box-factory and burned
like tinder. AS it fell the corner building
took fire. and the Hum boldt Lum Der Com
pany's (Korbel Brothers) yards also be-
came gnited. H. Washbarne's horse
market went also, though the animals
were saved.

Soon the part of the block fronting on
Fifth street was roaring, seething fur
mace. of which the heat broke windows on
the opposite side of the street and drove
pedestrians from the sidewalks. Sashes
blinds smoked and caught from the heat,
and it was only by the constant applica-
ton of water that the spread of the fire
to the north was prevented.
On Fifth street E. Dumontelle's marble
works, Uhiers furniture factory, Kuhlen's s
tool works, Snyder & Richten's furniture
factory, Hubner's furniture frame works,
saloon occupied by John Hummel,
j. Einsteins Commercial Feed mills,
the Independent Tool Mandatory,
w. Henneberg's tool works and
the Ousten Feed mills were quickly
consumed and. the Belmont Hotel, on the
corner of Fifth and Brannan streets,
owned by the A. c.. Stoetzer estate, was at
tackled. 1t stayed the flames for moment
and enabled the tiremen to save the office
and portion of the sheds OF the Scott &
Van Arsdale Lumber Company just
across Brannan street. The flames trav-
eled so rapidly, however, that it seemed
that the fremen were fighting along with
rather than in advance Of it.
Eastward, on both sides of Brannan
street, swept the fire, devouring everything
in its path.

For quite awhile after the fire started the
residents on Fourth street did not feel any
alarm that the flames would reach them.
They ran out of their stores and dwelling
houses and gazed' up Freelon and Welsh
streets at the flames, which were roaring
and cracking around Fifth street. 1t was
fully half an hour before the serious nature
