 Entire Department Called Out.
 The fire started soon after four. o'clock and the blaze had made re- markable headway before it was dis covered. The first fire companies re- sponded to a still alarm, to be follow ed soon afterwards by three alarms, calling out practically the entire de- partment.

The blaze was SO hot that the automatic sprinkler on | the top of the Futile, Warehouse and Taylor building operated, flooding the exterior of the structure. Only the Walls Left Standing. By six o'clock only the walls of the l theatre were left standing. Part of the wools toppled on other buildings, l but no serious damage was done.
