The plans of the city ns prepared by the city surveyors show that lltU blocks were burned uud ti part ef another block. The estimates of resiliences to the block ill the roiilcuiinl district is HI and iu the business section blocks were solid. The lis'til military companies were railed out to keep back the crowds uud the tire department began to use dyna mile to blow up the houses a block away and thus prevent the lire from spreading. So tierce was the blaze, however, and so strung hail become the wind that mil lions ef sparks and Hying binning shin gles spread over live ur si blocks, set ting the riHifa of the houses on tire iu ad vance of the department. Soon Senator Taliafnrro's residence, and then the ad joining house on thut block were ilhliize. Desperate efforts wi-iv made to save the XVimlsor uud the St. .lames hotels, but both houses were quickly euveloped in flumes.

Ten minutes pii-sed when suddenly there wus a roar and the building collupsed like uu eggshell. The dynamite and the powder hud exploded. The liremcii at this time were working in grcut diinger. Curtriilges bewail to explode and bullets begun to lly around, so the effort to tight the tire ut this point for a time hud to be lilMiuiloncd. This wus only the sturt of the most intense pur: ef the fire. The new l-'erchott building wus soon ablaze, uud soon the llurdiiitr building was also a mass of Humes. Down the street the fire spread w ith rapidity and iu n short time the entire section of Day street from Market to Main street, uud extending for live blocks back, was burning ull lit once.
