Our sister city was visited by mos.
destructive fire on Saturday morning The
18th inst, which consumed four of our
large Transportation Warehouses, and
a number of dwellings and other bull
dings.


The fire destroyed every building be.
tween Federal and Sandusky streets, from
Lacock street to the canal, except one or
two, together with several on the lower
side Of the last mentioned street. The
damage cannot be much less than $780,
600 or 100000


Alta quarter past midnight the watch~
man at Mr.. p. CRAFTS transportation
warehouse discovered flames issuing from
the rear of Mr.. Whileman's machine shop
on Lacock street, which, after giving ,he
alarm, he endeavored to extinguish with
the buckets of water which are always
provided and convenient for the purpose,
but in vain the fire extended rapidly to
the adjoining buildings, and soon all were
a mass of flannel


As most Of the buildings destroyed
were frames, and the difficulty in procur-
ing water, and scarcity of hose, Qarge
quantities having been destroyed on the
