immense w eight of whisky stored in the
south end of the Winding, directly over
theMigine room; caused the upper parts
of the building to give way; thus letting
the whisky down into the engine room.
In an instant the fire epread throughout
the six stories.
The firemen directed 'their efforts to

it k•eing• impoisible to*do anything with
the warehouse. • Most of the whisky was
that on which - duty had been paid under
'the extension eat of Congress.
This fire . is the most destructive ]
which has oecurea in this city since the”
great fire of 1554. The principal losers,

The stores destroyed were considered
to be entirely fire proof, having iron
doors and shutters. There were eighteen
