The fire uriginated in a small wooden house In Ollve street, and directly 1t spread to adjolning buildings and assumed great proportions. The fire brigade be- came demoralized and lost all control of themselves and the fire. At o'clock this morning, St. Johw's Chureh (Itoman Catho- 1ic), the largest in the city, worth $100,000, is burning. Slx hundred bulldings are de- stroyed, somo of brick and stone, respect- able, but a majorlty poor and small and of wood, Tho loss s0 far must be over §750,000, with 1,000 families homeless, The fire is still sprending, The houseless are camped out In fields surrounding the city.
