A General Uogflngr;_xtlén Happily Averted. About 100 Houses, Mostly Dwollings and Small Shops, Dostroyed. Two Churches and a Religious School a Sacrifice to the Flames, The Total Loss Variously Estimated from $500,090 to $1,000,000, Speetal Dispatch to The Chicagn Tribune, Bartivoge, Md., July 35.—DBaltimorn has suf- forod from s disastrous conflagration, s the pa- pera of this stondy-golng city coll it, and as all conflagrations unquestionably are. It issaid compnarisons aro odious, even with rospoct to fires, but tho oxamples of Chicago and Boston will obtrude themsélves upon the mind, whon atartling wonouncemonts botoken unusual do- vastation. This disastrous conflagration of Bal~ timoro, I am happy to stato, has not renchod such proportions as will bring it within tho range of comparison with any of tho grent fires of tho past. Tho steady-going donizens of this old-fashioned oity do not kuow what a big fire is. They have never seen one, :nd 1 wish them a continuance of thoir good for- uno. To-day’ they woro panlc-stricken with the ro- membrance of Chicago, It was the vivid plo- turo of her lurid and dostruetiva flames that haunted tholr imaginations, as thoy saw tho fire of the day take unusual hondway. Lonce, b 11 o'dlock this morning, tho tolograph linos from this city startled the inhabitants of Washing- ton with o domand for aid, which was promptly responded to by shipping the stoam fire engines, Franklin aud Oolumbiana, with & full corps of active firomen, to tho fleld of action, whera they arrived in timo to rendor officiont services, Rumors by telograph and otherwiso oxagporated the extent and violence of the con- flagration to such a dogroe that many peoplo left tho neighboring cities to witness it. Tho facts are that, although considerable damagohas beon dono to property, and thera aro a number of individual gufferers, the burnt district, if tho fow blooks consumed may bo 8o dosig- natod, are noither very extensive nor of vory groat valuo. According to ¢aroful estimates the entiraloss will not reach a million of dollars. Tho firo bogan about 10 o'clock this morning ina turning and planing-mill belonging to Jo- soph Thomas & Bon. This mill was run by steam, and with all its inflammable stock and wmatorial, was situated on Clay and Park stroots, in the very hoart of tho city, Buch places are the merest tinder-boxes, and are bound ulti- mately to burn down. Thoero are soveral sim- ilar establishments in tho same mec- tion, out of which BDaltimore will ona of those days have in reality an immenso con- flagration. " There are numerous sash and door factories, carponter and paint shops, stables and rookeriva of various sorts distributed very liberally within half & dozen squares of thosb consumed to-day, on Little Bharp stroet, Mec.- Clellan’s alley aud othor various thoroughfares, which belong, to the old part of tho city, hold- ing on to thoir convonient locations with a ton- acity which threatons the magnificont Baltimore and Liberty streot stores surrounding them like o large part of tho distrioct burned over to-day. The population {8 sparso and some of it on tho, streets referrod to is not of tho beut sort. While' it sooms & cruel inliction upon individual suf- forors, it may nevertheless prove s blessing to tho clty to find & part of this Apace open to ro- domption, and load tho way to clearing out the romaindor. Tho fire-box in the engine-room of ' Thomas' mill, Allod with ebavings and rubbish, was ig- nited by falling cinders from the furnaco. 'fia {he heat of this room ordinarily groat was added tho heat of the woather, mnk.iug overything more than usually {nflammable, There " has boon a drouth hero for months pust, and overything is a8 dry as tindor. The moment tho onginoor no- ticod tho flamos, ho turncd on tho wator with hose nlways kept conveniont for the purposo, but without avail. He was soon compelled to sboandon his place by tho heat, and the firo aflread 80 rapldly that " the workmen engaged in tho uppor stories of tho building had to make their esoape by jumping from the windows. One of thom namod James Watson was sorionsly injured by falling on the curb-stono, The whole structure wus a maes of flames insido of ten minutes from the time it caught, and tho heat was Bo intenso that the firomen could not work in the narrow streots around it. Clay stroet, upon which one part of the L shapod building fronted, and Park streot, which held the othor, are both narrow streots, not ovor forty foot in width. At that point this made the fire diffioult of accoss, and Lolped to spread it with rapidity, although the wholo of tho firo departmont, horo considered very officent, wore soon on the ground and working to the best of their ability. Thoro 'was o strong wind blowing from the southwest at tho time, which carried tho flames in immense volumes scross the stroot, and in a short time eightoon houses wero on flre. Tho gonoral alarm Lad called thousands of people to the scone, and all the adjncent stroots were flled to overflowing With an impending panic-stricken crowd on overy hand. 1t soomed to be nccepted that Baltimore's day of destiny had come, and the people for squarcs around tho fire bogan cn;filyiug thoir houses of furniture, and calling all Rortsof vehiclos into requisition to conyoy it out of reach, The firo struck back towards Loxingtonatroot, burningthe valuable livery stables of Jamos D. Stowart, and policemen leading fractioun horsoa followed by volunteers drawing vohicles of all sorts added to the confusion of tho scono. Al along Lex- ington streot, whore fancy dry goods and mil- linery stores are T)!unmul, tho proprictors aud lady clerke might bo scon rushing out in groat agitation and alarm, while evory o and Sote doolared its bolief that » Ohicago confiagration waa af han The Luthoran Church on Loxington stroot, between Park and Iloward streots, was do- stroyed, and nothing now remaius of it but tho column in front and the sido walls, Clay streot soon became one shoot of living fira from half squaro woat of Park stroct to Liborty stroot, ‘This communicated by tho back buildings and through tho dircotlon of the wind with tho row of flno dwellings and Bt. Alphonso's S8chool, fronting on Bara- toga stroot, and also with tho_Conteal Prenbytorian Church, of which tho Rov. Dr. Bmhh!u]\nnmr. Al of thom wore consumod, aud nothing now remains of thom but the black- oned walls aud tho tall, square tower of tho church, 'Fhe Oatholio urch, situatod on the corner of York and Baratoga siroets, Lnown as Bt, Alphongo’s, apposrs to have had an almost miraculous preservation, as it wus in the direct rango of the fire, and caught sovoral times, Baratoga stroot {s about sixty foot wido, and {o this the inhabitants living on tho north eido aro indobted for the prescryation of their homes, That of Prof. N. I Bmith caught firo more than once, but no 5mnt damnge was done., Tho very fino city rosidence of A. B, Abol, proprictor of tho Daltimore Sun, is on this stroot, dlructlj' oppo-~ site tho Prosbyterian Church, and adjoinin aro tho 8¢, Paul's parsonage aud tho rdsl- donco of Laltimoro’s groat bonofuctor, John . Hopkins, Thoso houscs had the dvantage of bolng rotired some thirty foot bmck of the bullding lino upon a high torraco, and with tho usual good fortune of two of thefr riol Josson- sory, osoapod all damago, Mr. Abel is in Burope, sud Alr, Hopkins salubriating at tho son shore, Tt 'Is smongst tho inscrutablo doings of Providenca that theso two woalthiost wnen in Baltimoro should como unhanned out of » conflagration which iagod all around them, while mauy less ablo to endure tho huvd, ships consequont upon tho destruction of thoir property have sufforod soverely. Tho domo ~of the Cathedral, a squaro nbove theso buildings towards the north, canghtfico » number of timos, but s dovated band of holpors immediafoly extinguished the flames, while n row of dwellings noarly boginninj at tho northenst corner of Mulberry and Parl streots, and ranging castward towards Oathedral stroot, was nearly all consumed, The law and Educational Depnrtmonts of the University of Maryland, situated on tho sonth slde of Mulborry strogt, opposito the Oathedral, wero considerably injured, togetber with the Architeots' Instituto and the Maryland Acadomy of Art. Lost their high sounding titles should indicate n very heavy _lons, would state &l of thoso buildings wero of & rickot deacription, unworthy of the causo to whicl thoy wero dedicated, and Lardly fit for anythiug but food for flames. Tho fire, after golng northward &p Park strect, burnt weatward on Saratoga for half o squaro, and cleaned out a lot of old 'raokerles and _ beor-shops that ought fo hayo boen torn down nnf yoars_ngo. The samo class of houses caught fira on Park, noar Mulborry streot, on tho West Bido. It is & noticcablo “fact that two now brick houses on tho morth and southwost cornors, respeclively, of Saratogn And Park stroots stand nppnmntl{ unharmod amid surrounding ones, which, as they aro but ordinarily built, and by no moans exponsive or fire-proof structures, goes to show how littlo in the way of conetruction was noedod to rosist tho conflagration on the one hand, and how dan- gorous old_frames and old shinglo roofs aro in compactly-built oities, Many of the houses Lurnod are old frames, and the Park street fur- nituro and junk-shops sre under shinglo roofs that look a8 if thoy might have been put on by tho carpenters who built Noah's Ark. Tho “lightness of tho matorial burning in Thomas' mill made 1t oasy of carriago, henoe' tho ewind blow flakes of burniug chips and shavings to o grent distance. Thaso would light on_shinglo roofs, dry and hot undor tho burning July sun, and ot thom in o blazo. Sovoral houses caught firo in this mauner, remote from the immedinto scono of tho conflagration, ond this it was which cronted tho greatest con- stornation by making n demand for ongines to 0 in all dircctions, which caused the telogram to Washington for assistance, Tho Washington firomen iwero many of thom colored mon, snd it is strango thab ovon in tho midst of their distross and hour of greatest need, the Baltimore firemen re- Tusod to work with them, and kept apart. Yot in old slaveholding times thero were two or three nogro firomon who ran with the old volun- taor compauios, and wore not only tolorated, but rogardod oy valusblo mombors of the oorps. The Washingtoniang did their work well notwith- standing, aud left at 7 o'clock this ovoning for liome, by o spocial train of the Baltimore & Obio Railroad. A silk factory bolonging to Bamuel B. Banks is among tho large buildings destroyed, and also two ouciont housos of the domi-monde on the corner of Clay and Park, The fire has boon under control since 8 o'clock thia aftornoon, and, rombling smongst tho smok- ing ruina to-night, I could ses no indications of futuro damago if care is taken, Amongthe principal losers aro Thomas & Son, who owned the bulk of the prapm:f near their mill on Park streot, and are inadequately in- sured; J. & DL fluiudollnr, carpontors and buildors; J. H. & J. 8. flog[{},‘, sash and blind factory on Clay stroot; 1. Mays & Co., olonk * estublisiment ¢ 325 Patk stroot; T, Q. Burton, fancy goods, totally deatroyed ; E.

Of course tho Inrgo Presbyterian_Church, costing upwards of £200,000, and the Luthoran Ohurch and Bt. Al- phonso's Church, which wero wholly do- stroyed, must bo counted 88 the most considorablo losses. It will tfake but & short time, with enorgy, ] to rebnild the burnt section, and it will certainly bo o much botter part of the city than it has over beon bofore, An amuaing incident of the prevailing panic in the noighborhood wag that of an apothecary, Mr. Gorman, placing six large syringos from his shop in the hands of assistants on the roof to squirt out the igniting sparks, It ju eaid thoss small squiris wore efficient, and wo apprehend rather symbolical of tho Baltimoro style of doing things.
