HISTORIC BUILDING GONE.
No. 92S Louisiana Avenue Was the
Old Central Guardh0uSe.

The scene of the last crash, about II
O'Clock, No. 92s Louisiana avenue, ac-
cupied by william E. Clarke, as an agri-
cultural implement establishment, is the
Old original central guardhouse Of war
time fame.
When used by the local constabulary and
police as a lookup and police magistrates
office, back in the sixties and early
seventies, the ancient building had but
two stories. In later years after the
police vacated the premises, an additional
story was added and the floors strength
ened.
However, 1t remained little better than
a Undertook. When the crash occurred
last night and the third floor came tumbling
down, a mass of fiery debris, carrying the
two lower floor S with it, Old citizens and
policemen remarked that Notwithstanding
it had been practically remodelled the
venerable structure was but shell and
rctrap.
During the war the central guardhouse
was filled daily with prisoners, including
bounty jumpers, dcserters, disordery and
drunken soldiers and civilian criminals.
one of the old justices of the peace held
forth there and convened court at any
and all hours to try offenders. A one
time it was the only police station in the
| city and prisoners had often to be dra gged
| to its cells and dungeons from all parts
of the city, as the patrol box and wagon
service was unheard of in those days.
unique feature of the place was its
| ducking or shower bath cell. Drunken
| prisoners, especially soldiers who were too
tipsy to give an account of themselves or
| tell to which company or regiment they
belonged, were placed in the cell and
| deluged with cold water from a fire hose
until they were sufficiently sober to talk
inteligently. The nozzle of the hose was
thrust through the iron bars OF the shower
| bath cell by an auxiliary guard or the turn
| key.
The old guardhouse, with all its his
| torical and tragic "reminiscences, went
up in fire aud smoke last night and itself
received the last shower bath at the hands
| of the brave firemen, some of whom were
so terribly injured beneath it's falling floors
| and walls.

MADE A CLEAN SWEEP.
How the Flames Spread from the
Place of Outbreak.

The burned portion OF the block included
all that section from 6. Taylor Wadc's
store on street west to the bazaar occu-
pied by Samuel Bcnsinger. This took in
the produce commission houses OF W. 9.
Leishear & Son, John Davis, W. S. An
derson & Co., where the fire started,
w. o. Sbreve, C. Fl. Coburn, W. Davis res
taurant, the bazaar and w. II. Simmcs.
The fire burned its way through to the
three-story building on louisiana avenue
occupied by w E. Clark & Co.. dealer in
agricultural implements. then west to F.
G.Swaine & Son. Roth & Goeghagen, Comp
ton Brothers, o. o. Spicer, E. NJ. Walker
and the bazaar. IN w
The flames for some reason seemed to be
cente red in Clark's store, and ii was the
hardest kind OF fight for the firemen to
do anything with the blaze in that section.
1t was in the west side OF Clark's that ct
about 80 the flooring came down, bury
ing beneath the burning timbers the three
brave firemen who were making such
a fight to save the property.
The entire department was kept on duty
continuously, and not a let-up was al
lowed at any time. The fire was practi-
cally under control on the b street side
by $50, but the blaze on the Louisiana
avenue side was fairly Geluged with four
streams OF water for two hours before it.
was quenched.
The second crash came shortly before / l
O'Clock, when it was reported that five
men were carri ed down in the ruins They
were said to be members of Engine Com
pany No. 8 and the truck. Two fearful
crashes were the first warning which the
crowd in the street had of the frightful
catastrophe, and the crowd rushed to the
spot as f driven by some mighty power.
They were driven back by the police, but
not without the greatest difficulty

NOTES OF THE FIRE.

When at last the imprisoned fireman was
released the fathers joy knew no bounds
and when his son spoke TO those about
him and the father saw he was not dead,
he went to his home and left the rest to
the doctors at the hospital.
The police were very much in evil
dence at the fire and worked perhaps as
hard as the firemen. 1t was almost i'm
possible to keep the anxious and curious
crowd back and out of the way of the fire
men.
1t seemed almost impossible for the fire
men to extinguish the flames, for every
few minutes the fire would break out
here and there. One gang of men was
kept busy looking out for these small out
breaks.
Before 2 O'Clock all the excitement on
the street side was over. The boxes
and barrels had been removed from the
stores and were piled up on the sidewalk
and in the street.
A gang of colored men was put to work
in the west side of Clark's store to search
for tine two bodies supposed to be lying
under the debris. Several times stream
of water had to be turned on the burning
timbers above them.
Giles body was sent TO Joseph Gawier'S
undertaking rooms at No. 1874 Pennsyl-
vania avenue northwest, wbsre it will be
prepared for burial.
During the four long hours that Kettler
lay beneath the heavy beams his gray
haired father paced anxiously up and down
the sidewalk inquiring of every one who
came from tue ruins if bis boy was yet
alive.
When the firemen saw the old man and
| learned of his relation to their comrade
| they would go to him when they came
out for a seconds rest and breath OF
fresh air and tell him of his son. 1t was
| always good news they brought him, and
even when the flames were creeping up
| and the fight seemed almost hopeless, they
| cheered him up with words of encourage
| ment and promised to get his son out alive.
| Time and again the father would start
| impulsvely forward as though he would
rush into the flames and drag his boy
out to safety. Some big hearted fireman
| was always ready to step in and soothe
| the old man and tell him it would all come
right if he would only wait.

thirty years ago the needs of women ap-
