Disastrous Fire in Fulton Strect, About balf-past 1 o'clock this morning, fire wagdis- covered isauing from the building Ne. 140 Fulton street, pearly Opposite the Haaaun office, An alarm was iow mediately sounded, but before the arrival of the firemen the flames burst forth from the third stories in great volume. The lower floor of the building was occupied by R L & J. Titon a4 a clothing warehouse. Their stock ant allthe movendle fixtures were saved by the insurkace watch and the police, without damage, The upper floors were occupied by J. M. Fairchild & Co , publishers avd booksellers; BR. 7.

Keeney, letier prees printer, aad Wyncoop & Co., manufacturers of oileloth, {> whose premises it is supposed the fire ori- ginated, but we cannot state with what truth the asver- tion warmade. The efforts of the firemen, who got to work with ad- mirable celerity, for a tong tine proved unavailing, and the fire extended to the adjoining building, No. 188, ths upper part of which was occapied by Price & Sons, manufacturers of labels. The lower part of this house was unoccupied. Shortly after No, 138 took fire, an explosion occurred, which for a brief space of time created considerable con. steruation, and caused a stampede of the firemen and police who were within the building. It resulted from the bursting of the chimney between the two buildings, the brickwork falling npon the third floor with a tre- menduous crash. Harry Howard was oneof the persona in the burning building at the time of the explosion, So far as we could ascertain, however, no one was injured. From the front buildings the two extensions took fire. They run back some fifty fect, and were some four stories high. They also were al! gutted, from top to bottom, leaving only a portion of ita walls standing, The firemen succeeded in keeping the fire confined to Nos. 138 and 140, both of which at the time we writs are completely gutted. When the fire was first neon it appeared to be by the hatchway on the third floor ot No. 140, and is supposed to have been the work of design. From the lateness of the hour (3 0’clock) we were unab'e toascertain whether | there was any insurance. The loss will amount to up- wards of $50,000. Other Fires tn this City.
