The Zone Of Ruin.

Starting at the corner OF Lombard and
Liberty streets, the FIRE zone extends in a
rectangle Eve blocks In width to Calvert
street. At this point the varying winds
caused the path OF destruction to wind by
devious and eccentric ways down to
Jones' falls, taking In the territory as far

Pratt street to Light STREET, destroying
every building along both sides Of Pratt
street to the water front. Thence, ap.

boundary, the flames swept down to-

their track and leaving only heaps OF
blackened and worthless ruins to mark
their path.

seven companies, Philadelphia responded

The erstwhile busy streets which echo
ed TO the rumble OF traffic are now ehoked
and blocked from curb to curb with half
burnt bricks, tangled masses ofwires and
long electric poles, and the citizen who
has trod them almost daily for the years
of long life fails to recognize them. On
each side, where formerly the vision was
bounded by solid rows Of bricks, the eye
passes through the dismantled shells of
towering walls or roams unobstructed to
more distant scenes OF ruin and devasta-
ton; where 4S hours ago the trolley cars
piled increasingly and the vehicles Of traf-
dc or pleasure wound In and out and the
prosperous, happy pedestrians thronged
on business or pleasure intent, the mono
tony of desolation In relieved only by the
sight Of two or three workmen making
their way slowly and toilsomely over
piles Of debris in an effort tocut away the
tangled wires or by placing dynamite un.
der tottering walls which threaten TO top
pie on the heads OF passers-by and caus-
ing more destruction, clear the way for
the Phoenix Of the new Baltimore to rise
