BALTIMORE, Feb. S.-When dark
ness fell tonight the people of the
stricken city knew the worst was over.
The flames, which for more than
twenty-four hours had swept resist
lessly through the heart of the city,
were checked. An army of firemen
from many cities, working heFoically
and aided by a muddy little stream,
finally conquered.
Worn by night and day of terror,
the great crowds that watched the
ruin of their city turned homeward
and at midnight the streets were de-
serted save for the police and mill
tary. who guarded the burned area.
To the south a red glow rises and
falls, marking 140 acres of devastation

Guess can be made of the insurance.
An expert, the city Building In
snactor. estimates the loss in buildings
alone at S15O, 100000. On the other hand
a is said, some estimates do not place
the total less at a greater figure. So
ca, there has been no systematic at
teunt TO fix the values that were rep
resented in the disaster in that which
is tonight a devastated waste.
The San Francisco call., 1904-02-09

One factor that will figure largely in
the final estimates consists Of the Sc
curities in the banks and trust COM
panies whose homes were destroyed.
Their vaults and safes tonight are in
the ruins, covered by tons of debris
Experts who have given them as close
examination as possible express the be-
lief that the contents are safe.
On the correctness or falsity OF this
belief depends many millions of dol
lars.
Not single life had been lost and not
a human being has been even danger

with the exception of Jacob Ilgrin-
gritz, a fireman from York. Pa. He
has fractured leg and is badly burned.
There has been little or no excite
ment and there has been no hysteria.
There has been no disorder and there
has been no looting or attempt al loot
ing. Baltimore tonight is as orderly
as village and only the thrOb of the
Iaboring fire engines and the boom Of
dynamite as it brings dangerous walls
to the ground disturbs the quiet.
NO APPEALS FOR AID.
So far there has been no call for
aid. Proffers OF assistance have come
from many quarters, from sister cities.

BALTIMORE. Feb. S.-The cheering
story that the fire had been checked
spread rapidly throughout the city this
evening, and the crowds tnat all day
surged over the tightly drawn fire lines
decided TO return homeward. Unless
the wind, which now blows briskly
from the northwest, should change, it
IS believed that there is no further
danger. But the tired firemen are TAX

district they are tonight lighting the
fierce flames that still live in large
piles Of ruins These fires are no men

tion toward the water. Sporadic fires

The city was under the strictest mill

area was stretched Gordon of soldiers,
who held up all comers at the point of
the bayonet. Police brought from the
neighboring cities patroIled the dis
tr,ct and at the limits of the fire zone
paced armed sentries. In the early
morning hours the army of fire fight
ers worked against overwhelming odds,
but when day broke the flames were
raging along the wharves and focused
