Cnicaco, March 26.—The Central
Warehouse, at the corner of Rush and
North Water streets, took fire at about
4 o'clock this morning, and, with its
valuable store of teas and coffees,
burned to the ground, entailing an
estimated loss of between §1,250,000
and £1.5.0,000, As the water irom the
dozens ef em nozzles soaked
down the contents of the
the basement was soon filled with
water, and when 40,000 cases of lea
began to boil, streams of tea ran from
the windows and doors. The dock, for
a distance of 100 feet, was flooded with
the amber colored liquid tbat poured
like a small cataract into the river.
The steam arising from this perfumed

The building was a six-story brick
structure, which cost, when built

losses, a= insurance was, doublless,
placed elsewhere in some cases. An
effort was made to ascertain at the
firms, The Custom House books indi-
cated that there was not a pound of
tea in the building, as a permit for the
removal of the last of it bad been
issued, It was very evident that this
statement was incorrect, as the oil fac-
tories of all who were in the peighbor-
hood would testify, At the sture of
Messrs, Fitch and Howland, who are
among the heaviest losers,

The wide discrepancy between the
