THE building containing the three offices
above referred to and called in general
terms the post office is situated on E
street between eth and Sth. facing to the
southwark and running due east and west.
l walked nearly the whole length of the
building and finally discovered thick
volume of smoke issuing out of the city
post office through the third basement win
dow at the easterly corner. There were some
twenty or thirty persons present, who
looked complacently on, but there was not
a spark of fire. AS the morning advanced
the people began to gather, but there was
for long time neither engine nor water.
nor any one who seemed disposed to make
an effort to arrest the progress of the
flames.
1.-THE smoke issued thicker and faster.
An effort was made to have the door at
which the city letters are delivered, and
which is Immediately above the window be-
fore mentioned. opened with view to save
the letters, but it was unsuccessful. The
few clerks who were in attendance in the
building appeared to be either paral zed or
refused to open the doors lest the extent
of the danger might subsequently be found
out not to justify the measure.
At this time, being about three-quarters
of an hour subsequent to my reaching the
