IMMENSE AND EXPENSIVE
FIRE IN SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco, March 9.-Fire to-
night in a iive-story stone building at
32l Sansome street, between California
and Sacramento streets, caused loss
Of over $4,000. The fire started on the
third floor Of the storeroom OF Cunning
ham, Curtis & Welsh, wholesale sta
toners and book dealers, at point
near the elevator shaft, and before the
hremen arrived the fire had spread to
the floor above,
In an astonishingly short time the
fifth floor Mas abaze and the 1remen
had great trouble, owing TO the intlam-
mable character of the contents. When
they would succeed In controlling the
fire on one floor 1t would break out on
another.
There were no serious accidents, and
so far as known every occupant es-
capped from the building Three men
who were caught in their rooms got to
safety after much difficulty and peril.
The building was practically Quilted.
What was left untouched by the flames
was ruined by the great volume OF wa
ter poured into the building.
Cunningham, Curtis * Welsh esti-
mate their loss at 100000, with tnsur-
ance of 100000.
The Louis Roesch 4 Co.. lithograph-
ing concern, lost 5000. 0OO with insurance
OF s37 500.
The Union Lithograph company lost
100000. The damage to the building,
which is owned by Sigmund Stern. Is
estimated at 100000. II Is possible that
the walls may be used again for re-
building.
The San Francisco agencies Of CHM
& Co.. ID. c. Heath & Co., Silver Bur-
dett & Co.. and the Macmillan company
were located IN the building and were
sufferers TO some extent.
