stories in height. Owing to the inn
mense amount of oils, tailow, glycerin

building it was impossible for the fire
men to stop the progress of the fire,
and they were obliged to content them
selves with keeping the flames confined
to the Wrisley building. The structure
burned with great rapidity, and inside
Of 40 minutes from the outbreak of the
flames it was a mass of ruins. The loss
is estimated al $105, coo,
