MILLIONS IN A FEW BLOCKS.

A very careful and conservative
estimate of the loss in the wholesale
business district, in which the fire
originated, places it at something
over $50 ,oco, 900. This district is
bounded by Baltimore, Liberty,
Charles and Lombard streets and con
tanned many Of the largest dry goods
clothing aud shoe houses in the city,
besides two prominent banks-the
National Exchange and Hopkins
Place Savings Bank.
The estimate is for each building in
this section. the loss given represent
ing the building with its contents. Ac-
c1rdinG to this the heaviest losers
were John T.. Hurst & Co., X. NJ. SUIT

Company; all Of which were heavily
stocked with dry goods, aud in each
OF which cases the loss in building
and contents was placed at 81 SOC, ,ooC
The Armstrong, Gator & Co. loss is

Business Section of the City
Almost Completely Wip-
ed Out.
Wholesale Houses, Banks and News
paper Offices Reduced to Ashes.

Fire, which started at 1880 O'Clock
Sunday morning, devastated practi
cally the entire central business dis
trict of Baltimore, and al 4. NJ
Monday the flames were still raging
with as much fury rs at the beginning.
To all appearances Baltimore's busi.
ness section is doomed. Many Of tho
principal banking institutions, all the
leading trus, companies. all the largest
wholesale houses, all the newspaper
Offices, many Of the principal retail
stores and thousands of smaller cStdb.
hshmenis went up in flames, and in
most cases the contents were com.
pletely destroyed.
What the loss will BE- in dollars no
man can even estimate, but the sum
will be so gigantic that it Is hard for
The average mind to grasp its magni-
iudc. In addition To the pecuniary
loss, will be the immense amount OF
business lost by the necessary inter
ruption to business while the many
firms whose places are destroyed are
making arrangements for rcsumng
business.
There is little doubt that many men,
formerly prosperous, will be ruined
by the events of the last 2l hours.
Many OF them carry little or no in
surance, and il is doubliul if many OF
ihe insurance companies will be able
TO pay their losses dollar for dollar
and those that do will probably require
time in which to arrange for the pay.

All day and all night throngs crowd
ed the streets, blocking every avenue
10 the FIRE district and moving back
out of danger only when forced TO do
80 by the police on duty. Many OF the
spectators saw their all so up in flame
before their eyes. and there were men
with hopeless faces and despairing
expressions seen OH every hand. In
fact, the throng seemed stunned with
The magnitude of the disaster and
scarcely seemed to realize the extent
Of il.
They stood around usually in dazed
silence. and only occasionally would a
word of despair be heard. That they
were almost dishcartencd was appar-
ent to the casual observer. and there
Is little wonder, for the crushing stroke
fell with the suddenness Of lightning
from a cloudless sky.
