What Baltimore Did in a Month.-The
Baltimore american of Tuesday last said:
Zone month ago yesterday Baltimore was in
the grasp of the reign of fire. From one end
Of the business section to the other wave OF
fire was sweeping over the city, leaving behind
q scene of desolation which was shocking to
the stoutest heart. In twelve hours from the
time the fire started in the John Il. Hurst
Building the flames had burned over 100 acres
of the most valuable property in the city, leav-
ing thousands of business firms without
homes and the entire city bordering on panic.
Everything was chaos and it seemed that the
business of the city had been dealt blow
from which it could not recover.
I'm one short month, however, an entirely
different prospect is in view. The darkness OF
the days following the fire has given way to
dawn, which, while yet in its infancy bids fair
to illuminate the horizon with the sunlight of
prosperity.
which will make an epoch in the history OF
Baltimore to which Baltimoreans can in flu
ture years refer with feeling of pride. There
was not a day in the entire month that was
not filled with incidents of the most strenuous
character. It was a time for men and Deeds
and that these were not found wanting is at,
tested by the order which has been evolved
out of most critical situation"
