The fire was discovered at :45 in

effectively reach the seat of the fire,
and at seven o'clock the flames burst
out carrying everything before 1t, and
from this building leaped across the
alIey to the Hotel Ransford, owned
by Il. R. Wise, and also to the City
Hotel, next to the Ransford. The
brick venered building Of J. b.
Jameson s on Fifth street, the Ferris
building and two frame buildings at
the corner Of Sixth and Laurel streets,
belonging to R. r. Wise, were also
destroyed.
Buildings across the street from the
fire also suffered from the intense heat
damaging their fronts.
It was well toward II O. clock before
the fire was under control, which lett
a nicture of ruin and desolatiOn in its
path.
The partial losses follow:
Columbian block, 800, 600.
Ransford Hotel, from fire and water,
$40, 1000 to SIS. 900 each, on building
and on contents.

Bljou theater, 81, 600.
The Dispatch has loss OF $500 on
front, also Keene & McFadden 81, 600,
and the First National bank was also
a heavy loser in this manner.
The postofice was located in the
Columbian block, but most every
thing within was removed. There
we're losses by many moving their
goods out of buildings which it was
feared might be- in the path OF the
confederation.
