Comiug to Btato stroot, it was seon sproading across Wa- bash avenuo townrd Michigan, The formor avénuo “bore & atriking rosomblance to its aspoot on the morning of Oat, 0, 1871, Along its spuolous lawna, in heterogoucous cou- fuslon sore boaped housohold gooda, Even the sidowalls woro blocked with furniture, while the street was literally Jnmmed with volhiclos, com- mauded by oxeitod, mwearing Jehus, The ra- Alant goldon cross npon 8t.

Just bofore this, when It dostruction scomed Immi- nont, Maf. D.-W. Whittlo, and Messrs, Neho- mish Tlawkina and D, W.

Dut tho wind scaltercd tho burning embers in ehowors upon 1t, nnd, shorily after B o'clock, o thin bluo flame 8hot out of tho aoutheastorn turret, and, within fivo :iminutes thereaftor, tho building was nbloze, Moro curiosity was directed towards its fato than to any other building burned. Several othets,—notably the Jones School, Prussivg's Vinegar Works, Pat O'Neil's wholosals liquor store,—mado n more magnificent display; but intorest in thom wes confined to fow. Mosu- time thousands of burnad-out cilizous had edr- rled all they Lnd saved to LAKE MATE, and lain down thero it to protectit. Tugs and small bonts wero out upon tho river, aftording to tholr occupants a cool, safo viow of the maguifi- contly sublimo spectuclo, Until nearly midnight Michigan avenne scomed deatined to encape. Thon tho wind changed somowhat to tho ecast, and the Michizan avenuo House, formerly the Tromont, osught fire, The Inter-Oceanio butldings, on the opposite side of Congroa, followod, und tho untiquated houso four dacy outh, on Michigan, kuown ns tho Eura Tayici¥Pace, aleo taok fire, Tha block of threo houses next north bold out. Highor and highor rogo the flames in THE MIONIGAN AVENUE fOUSE, wroathing and eliooting upward a bundroed feet or more in the air, and when the entito front of tho mix-story building became one sheot of flamo, tho climax of sublimity in tho graud spectacle ws scon, Thousands of men end ~vomen gezod enraptured on the . awful soono, ouch eagor to soo the walls give way, The fire- mon brought from Michigan City by special train, and halted opposite the house, were just In timo to wilness Its downfall. The northonst corner firat gavo way, falling outward, and the correr dingonally opposito followed, Thinking tho full swoop of the conflagration bad been raached, sud belisving it to be undor control, the spectators begau slowly to disperse, though many dotormiued to watch it ontirely out. THE NAYOR, surrounded by a rotinue of Aldermen, took up his posttion at tho cornor'of Wubush avenue and Jackson streot and hind to liston to the thousand and ono mioro or less stupid auggos- tious of tho bystanders. He wanted the streets cloarad, but the authority was not on haud and thecrowd which surged round the immense framg of our Chief Magistrate wes porfoctly im- cantrollnble, The question which prosonted it 8olf to the Mayor's mind was, whether or not, ‘powdor should be employed in the destruction of the building nearest to tue southwest corner of Jrokson strect and Wabush avonuo, Ald, Bailey woa suro that if this building wore blown down tho firo could be enved, but the Mavor was op- posed to explosions, avd insisted that tho Firo Dopartment could hinder the flames from pssing point at which be stood. Col. Baldwin declared Litself ready to blow thoe building to bluzea with forty pounds of powder, buc tho Mayor dissented, und besides tho Colonel had nov the powder, No more Liad any one else, 8o the en- gincering foat was neceusarily dispensed with, Taking into the cousideration that the Mnyor is awman of excoedingly irascible dmsposition, he couducted himsel? towards his tormentors in a manuer which sbowed that boe could sink per- soual coonidorations in front of a geueral al- amity. A LUDICROUS INCIDENT of tho fire wus the plucky and successful at- tempt of n woman to eave from a burning build- ing what sbo apparontly held doarer to her than life ftsclf. While the root of her building was sglow with flamo, sho rushed into it, and, after s disappoaranco of about ten minutes' duration, reappeared, bearing in her arms four cats, all of thom howling and clawing In & most onergetio stylo. Doaring hor precivus burdon in her arms, sho fought hior way throngh tho crowd on Fourth avenno, and wus soon loet to view wih hor feliue atlinitics, TUL JOHT PAINFUL RUNOR APLOAT was that of the destruction in & Fourth avenue tonement-house of sovon colored obildren aud au old colored Indy. It wassinted that thoy Liad beon loft thero undor chargeof the old lady and thut thoir retront wus cut off boforo thoy becamo awaro of the situstion, The story was not cir- ocumstantiated, however, ana it must in the lack of | evidonco bo sot down as one of tho rumora which are always set aflont by foolish parties whouover a publio calamity oceurs, 4 CONSIDERARLE COMMOTION was causod by tho roport that A, W, Wheeler's bnrdware store, at 810 Btato stroot, was full of guvpowder. A rush occurred 88 e flames seized hiold of the building, and a Gorman, who hod the misfortune to loso Liu footing, was tram- pled vers badly. When the rush was ovor he was picked up In a eenscless condition, but n liveral application of cold water from a leak in the hose revived him, and, provided ho has suf. fored no fnternal injurles, he will not be much tho worse for Lis disastor, s BURNT D0OTS, Second Aesistant Fire Marshal Petrlo, with his customary forgetfuinessof porsonal conse- quoncon, suddonly found that he had fairly burnt the boots off his feot, A friond noticed his plight before Potrle did, aud, hurrying off, #00n camo back with # palr of hew boots, which the Awnistant Marshal drew on with grateful ace knowlodgmonts, EFFICIENT ALDERMEN, ‘The pollce furce was so badly scattered that porfeot eflcloncy wus Impowsible, It becamo ovidont thiat somothing must bo dono to clear away the vast orowd which blooked up Wabash avonuo below Vun Buron stroet ut about 11:90 a'clock, Aldormon Houth, Hildreth, Btout, and M.

TAE MILITARY, Tho appearance at the cornor of Van Buren ntroot and Wabash avenue of a nondescript full vrivate, with knapssok on back and rifle with fixed bayonot at the shouldor, caused quite a sousation, Tho roport ran round that the military hsd beon oalled out, and all sorta of rumors galued ground, ongen- dered by tho appearance of the man with tho knapsack, shot-pouch and floros fixod bayonet.

Mr. Osgoode took time by the foreloalk, and, at b in the afternoon he ordered ovory man omployed in tho building to wait round until all danger waa past. Ae thoera are at presont employed in and about the building a number of masous and carpenters, beatdos men attonding to the Photographuc Couventlon there were found to be availsblo a forge of about 100 mon, For some timo there socmod to bo no nocessity for tholr services; but, as time spod by and the firo crept northward, it beoame ap- parent that Mr. Osgoode's action was well timod. Thers {s no doubt that, but for tho ex~ ertlons of the force he rotained, who oxtin- guished the sparks ss they foll upon the building, our Exposition structure would mow bo no more. The destruction of this building would bave been pecu- liarly unfortunnto just uow. Tho National Pho- tographic Conveution intended to lave hold thoir opening yestorday ovening, but under the circumstances thoy concluded that the Intorest- ing evont Liad bettor bs postponsd.. One of the most animated men In the building was Mr, Mumford, who tns in chorga the Immenso paint- ing “DParls by moonlight," whose com- morefal valuo is represonted at about 860,000, Thera was no cliance of removing the pioture, us it takos, undor ordinary circumstanoos, not loss than three days to pack it up.

The north and onst fronts foll firat, and from roof to the bnse- mont not one briok was Ioft on top the othor. Thero woro aiso rumors that a fireman of ongine No, 12 wag killed by the falling of tho wall of the building next to the Pout-Office, but no particulars could bo learned.

The Mayor wan surrounded by abouta half- dozon persons of various grades of oflce, from a polico-patrolmau to at Aldoran, The order SDAY, JULY 15, 1874, to blow up the bullding was given tos patrole man, who waa sent off to hunt up the porson in chargo of the powder, whils tho Mayor pounded vigorously on the door of tho Btate Strest Bavings Bank to inform tho oustodiaua thereof of his intention, On bolng asked what bufldinga hs Intonded to blow up, the Mayor eaid Lo would, it neoossary, blow up all tho buildings on the sonth mdo of Van Buren stroot from Btate stroes to Michigan avenuo. In anmwor to tho quostion whothor ha had any ono compotent to do tho woik thoroug- Iy, he roplled somewhat sngrily that of oourso ho lad. Tho compotoucy of the Individual was shown about twenty minutes Istor, whon the slow matoh was lighted., Tho orowd had boen moved back noarly a blook ; tho throe ongines stationed at this corner Lnd bosn drawn off, necessitating the idloncsa for at loast fiftoon minutos; tho powdor was carried into the contro store, tho match was lightop, and sbout lalf & dozen porsons scampered out of the front door as It flooing the wrath to come. The crowd hold Ita breath, mnd those mnoarcst the doomed building crouchod {n doorways, and behind walls to obtain protoction from the shower which would bo apt to follow tho axplosion, TRE LAMENTABLE PIZZLE that did follow was only offective in thoroughly preparing tho building to burn rapidly and flercely. ‘Thore was a mufiled thud, and & scat~ toring puff of smoke and broken glass flow out of tho front of tho storo into the strest, Not a brick was disturbod, nor even tho glass of thoe sdjoining atores brokon. Tho floors were madeinto kindling-wood probably, and the fire was gtarted at tho bottom of tho building in. stond of tho top. Tho rosult was, that in flve™ minutes the wholo bullding waa o roaring mnss of flame, of such futeusity that Carter's build- ing, just cast on Van Buren stroot, followed it, as also did tho buildlngs on the north eida opposite. This was the koy to tho fro, and it was ovident that, if the flames obtained control of the block on Wabash suenuo, botwoen Van Buren and Jaokson atreots, thoro would be little hope of stopping thom at all, THE FARCE of putting a charge of 40 pounds of powder In s looso blast into a eolid briok building was ro- veated in the building occupled by Boomor & Jonks, and the samo disastrous effects rosulted, Tho building noxt north was tholarge four-story atone-front faclog on Wabash avenue, ocouplod by George 8. Gilbort, Iato Bampaon, Gilbert & Co,, a8 & furmture wrehouso, Had the Boomer & Jonks building boon loveled by tno blast of powder, ns it should have been, the fira would havo beon checked right thero, as the Gilbort warchouso was provided with fire-proof shut- tors; but the intonsity of the flamoa ouly being incroased by the attempt to blow up the adjoin- ing building, the heat soon ignited the furniture on tho fifth floor, In spite of tho shuttors. No streams wora immediately avallablo at this point, or else tho importance of the posi- tlon was not appraciated by tho Assistaut Fira Marghal, for some ten minutes passed before atroam wna brought to bear, It must bo said, howaver, that A DETTER FIGNT was made at this point than anywhere elso, excopt at Horrison stroot, and as the result was successful In controlling the flames, tho credit should bo givon to Assistant Firo-Marshal Potrio. Hitherto tho offorts of the Dopartmont seom- od to kiave becn directed toward a vain attempt to pul out the fire, rathor than toward practieal ondeavors to arrost its progresn; but hers tho Iatter plan was adopted with sig- ual succcss. The shutters of the bulldig were eufficlently usoful to completoly shut up the flames insldo the bufld- Ing for some timo. Btrenms were onrricd up into the building of Colby & Wirls, on State streat, and also upon tho fops of the buildings just north of the burning oncs on Wabash avenuo, Every ono soon saw that this building was THE KEY TO THE FIRE, . that, if once carried by tho flamos, there would be no limit to ita progress, Aftor thirty minutes of hard work, tho roof fell in, and the atrcams from bove bocame the most powerful ngents in chockivg the further ravages of tho flames, The ocorpice abont this time took fira and burned with intonse heat, The front contre-plece waa of zino, and, as the flamos curled around it the zlnc burned with most brilliant green, blue, and purple flames, ourting aud twisting into grotesquo and pioturesque shapes. Just as tho firs was bolng brought undor on the woat sido of Wabnsh avenuo, s number of crates and boxes in the roar of Bowen & Kent's crookery storo ook fire, and communicated to the buildings, This outbreak neurly resulted in a continuation of the affair indetinitely, but o fow well-dirocted stroams soon prevontod this unfortuucte catastrophe, aud tho firo WAS NOW CLEARLY UNDER CONTROL.
