water and fire extinguishing apparatus are
mainly responsible for the catastrophe. The
families 'nurned out were mostly to poor
circumstances. Many will be forced to camp
out all night on the prairie guarding the
property which they saved,
I,Aran—At the fire in Moreland Wednes¬
day evening, besides the Presbyterian
church, Fisher’s hall and several store build-
nigs, there were forty-seven houses burned,
and the loss cannot be much less than $150,-
000. One-half of this amount will be re¬
covered through insurance companies. All
but a very few of the poorer classes will lose
everything. Not one in ten had their house-

About 8:45 o’clock a m. the cottage at
4720 Ohio street, which barely escaped de¬
struction by yesterday’s fire, was found to
be ablaze. Filled with a horrible fear of
a repetition of Wednesday's catastrophe
fully'800 men and boys rushed to the build¬
ing and nearly tore it to pieces in their-ef¬
forts to stitiue the games. The city was
asked for help and engines were tent, but
before they arrived the fire was out.
The house,was vacated to the midst of the
conflagration Wednesday, and there had
•been no flreln the butlding sittee, and, that
it was set afire by some fiend who desired
further destruction of the place, the citt-

The damage to the cottage was about *1,000.
