st. Louis. Mo-, Feb. 24.-Shortlv after

in one of the elevator shafts of the Mer-
chants Exchange building, and before the
flames were gotten under control, the top
floor of the building, together with its
numerous Offices were destroyed, entail
ing an estimated loss of about 800, 900.
The flames worked their WAY to the top
of the building, and in less than an
hour the entire eastern roof of the strlc.
turc was in ruins. The upper floors of
the building were occupied by the st.
Louis clearing house association and n
number of commission firms. Those
offices were completely Quilted. The fire
worked downwards to the fourth and
third iloors but the firemen ssmanaged to
coniine the flames to the northeast por-
tion Of the building.
The immense trading hall was pro-
tectcd from the flames, but was badly
damaged by the immense quantity of
water poured in on the upper floors. At
4 o'clock the fire was under control.
The fire was caused by defective cleo
trio light wires in the elevator shaft.
