Baltimore. Md, Feb. S.-There
was little sleep for the seven hund-
red thousand residents of Baltimore
last night because of the terrible
confiagration that started Sunday al
ternoon There was no loss of life
but the property loss will probably
reach 5000. 100000 Acres Of the most
valuable property in the wholesale
dry goods, produce, lumber, shipping
railroad and financial district has
been destroyed. Notwithstanding the
heroic efforts of the local fire de-
partment. reinforced by almost mum
the great cities Of the east. the fire
was this morning raging as furiously
as in the first hour. Several tons of
dynamite were used during the day
and night to blow uD buildings in
the effort to check the speed OF the
flames. but a strong wind carried
the flying embers across the city lg-
hitting other buildings. The main of
flee of the Western Union and Pos
tai Telegraph companies were des
troyed long before midnight, and the
buildings which they occupied were
practically destroyed. All the build
ings of the Baltimore newspapers, in
Press. were destroyed. The fire con-
tinues to spread eastward and south
ward. but is not burning as flercely
as at daylight and there is some
hope that it will spend itself in a
few hours The lumber district near
O'DonnePs wharf was practically
consumed, and little is left for the
flames to feed on. All the electric
power houses have been destroyed
and no street cars are running.
The losses, over million. are:
John E. Hurst. dry goods. $1,000, 900;
insurance $1.0O0.O00; r. M. Sutton
and Co., dry goods, $1,5OO,OOO; Dan'l
Miller Dry Goods Co. $1.500,O00; in
surance $1,OOO.O00; loss of over 81
900, 900 each sustained by more than
forty establishments.
The News-Union in an editorial
today will say: No end can be seen
at this writing of the great conf1a
grafton that threatens the destruc
ton of the entire business section
of Baltimore. No one can tell the
extent of the disaster
The fire is still burning and with the
infammable nature of the buildings
it may be fed for hours. To describe
in detail this fire which will go
down in the history of the world as
one of the greatest disasters is sim
ply impossible. The facts will not al
develop for days to come.
