The most serious and extensive conflagration ‘with which Baltimore has ever been visited oc- curred to-day.’ The loss in money will amount to about one million dollars, and the disaster is in- creased by the destruction of a hundred houses, which were mostly occupied by@ poor class of People. The fire originated a few moments before eleven o'clock in the sash and blind factory; of J, Thomas & Son, in Clay street, between Lexing- ton and Howard, and embraced a district of three blocks, bounded on the east by Liberty, on the west by Howard street, on the south by Lexington and on the north by Sara- toga street. These two last named streets tun east and west and parallel with them, and ve- tween themruns Claystrect. This street was targely occupied by manufacturers of wooden framework and of boxes, and the contents of the buildings acted as FEEDERS TO THE FLAMES. They originated in Thomas’ establishment from sparks falling from the furnace of the bower, and before the workmen could subdue them they were spreading through the factory and sparks were falling in a furious shower on the adjacent houses. Tre day was calm, but the fury of the flames s00n created a wind, which spread the cinders far and wide, and while firemen were at work on one building sparks and flames would shoot ap from another a square distant. In a very short time the row of houses on the west side of Park street, between Lexington and Clay, were in flames, The flames soon leaped across Park street and seized the large stables of John D, Stewart, but his horses had been removed in time.’ The §teater number of the houses near by bad shingle toofs, which had been so baked and dried by the sun as to be inflammable in tne highest degree, and ander the copious shower of cinders which fell ‘apon them they were soon smoking and blazing. The wind at frst was towards the northwest and threatened to sweep the flames across Saratoga + Gtreet,.om. the north side of which was 8T, ALPHONSUS CATHOLIC CHURCH van some of the most elegant private residencos ‘of Baltimore millionnaires. Fortunately, however, the direction of the wind changed and swept the @ames back southward upon their former course. The Jofty spire of St, Alphonsus ebarch had al- Htondy begun 10 smoke, and ee were. plying it with bucketa of water from the loopholes, ¥en “the: ge of the wind saved it from destruction. On the south side of Saratoga street was a row of -lofty buildings, occupied by a school under the control of tke Brotherhood of St. Al- )phonsus churcb, and these were entirely «destroyed. It being vacation they were empty at the time, and no loss of life was incurred. From this point the flames swept eastward slong Saratoga street and soon wrapped the Central ) Presbyterian church at the corner of Liberty street within their devouring grasp. The towering steeple was first encircled with A SPIRAL COLUMN OF FIRE} mext the roof blazed up, and in half an hour afterwards the whole magnificent edifice was in fre and is now @ mass of crumbling ruins. It was one of the finest churches of Baiti- more and contained @ magnificent organ. The block between it and Park street on the South side of Saratoga, was composed of hand- some residences, of which there is no vestige but - flaming ruins. On Lexington street, west of Lib- erty, tne First English Lutheran church was also burned to the ground. Singuiar to say it was the only one of the buildings on Lexington street to the front of which the fames penetrated. With the exception of these two churches, the row on Saratoga street and the manufacturing establish- , Ments in Clay street, there were no valuable build- ings destroyed in this district; but within it there ‘were a vast number of people resident therein, and their efforts to remove their household goods and to escape from the flames presented A MOST EXCITING SPECTACLE. People for squares around were recklessly tum- bling their furniture into the streets and owners of carts and wagons were demanaing the most extravagant prices for transporting them to places Of safety. At the height of the fire the seene was @ppalling. A multitude of men were hurrying to and froin the endeavor to save thair furniture. NEW YORK HERALD, SATUKD AY, JULY 26, 1873.-WITH SUPPLEMENT wnue Women ana cnildren were adding to te tumult by their agonized screams, and the roar of the flames as they leaped from house to house mufMed all other notses, It seemed at one time »* if the fames would cross Liberty street, and the people in the magnificent stores and fine resi- dences on Charles street began to move out with great haste. At times there would be a complete jam, end the greatest uproar and confusion, fect of the restless crowd. The destruction in this way and by the water thrown upon stores in this vicinity will add a hundred thousand to the actual damage by fire. THE CENTRE OF THE BURNED DISTRICT being mainly occupied with small tenement houses, the individual sudering of people suddenly de- prived ‘of their homes and thrown out into the world without @ particle of sustenance is great. Many of these were negroes and abandoned whites, who occupied quarters the equal of the worst dens in Philadelphia, The burned district was a parallel- ogram, the outer sides of which were made up of fine houses and stores, while the interior was Small tenement houses and manufactories, The latter contribute to the loss in money, while the former supply the actual suffering which the fire has caused. I have describec to you the locality of the conflagration in its worst aspect, but it re- mains to be told that the lames leaped across the square on the north side of Saratoga street and descended upon the south side of Mulberry street. Here was a large building occupied by the academ!- cal school of the Baltimore University, and the | sparks, falling upon its roof, soon set it on fire. The building was partially consumed, and also that immediately adjoining, which was occupicd by the Maryland Academy of Art. The valuable paintings and sculptures in the Academy were, fortunately, saved from the fire. On the north side of Mulberry street the fames extended to a row of fine residences and completely destroyed j them. They were valued at least at ope hundred thousand dollars, and were among THE FINEST SPECIMENS OF OLD TIME ARCHITECTURE, im Baltimore, The Cathedral, immediately across the street from them, at one time was in the greatest danger, but by the efforts of a brigade of volunteer firemen, who stationed themselves upon its roof, it was so thoroughly saturated that falling Sparks failed to ignite it. With this last effort the flames ceased their onward march and happily were confined to the district which I have aiready named, To estimate the conflagration it may be said that only fortuitous circumstances prevented it from sweeping out the entire centre of the city. Fortunately THE LOSS 18 NOT SO GREAT, because so large a portion of the district was oc- cupied with ancient rookeries, which have been a disgrace to the city. Such @ conflagration has long been invited by the permission which has been given to factories with an immense stock of inflammable material to occupy places in the heart of the city, and the fire, if it abolishes them finally, will be a decided benefit in the end. There was no loss of life, although at times persons were placed in imminent danger. THE CASUALTIES. The casualties to-day were of no importanco, ex- cept in the case of the death of Sister Rinaldi, a Dun in the Convent of St. Alphonsus church, who dled from tright. Mr. Coonin, Chief of the Wash- ington Fire Department, was hurt by being driven against by a wagon, but his injuries are not serious. Two firemen were injured by an explo- sion of steam, but they will probably recover. The insurances cannot be estimated to-night, although itis said that other than local companies suffer heavily. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. pa RE a BALTiMoRE, Md., July 25, 1873. — About half-past ten o’clock this morning a fire broke out in the extensive four story brick steam planing mill, sash and door factory owned and occupied by Joseph Thomas & Son, and sit- uated on the south side of Olay street, near Park. Clay street is a narrow street, beginning at Liberty street, about midway between and parallel with Saratoga street on the north and Lexington street on the south, and extends west, intersecting Park and Howard astrects and terminating at Eutaw street. Thomas’ planing mili was in shape like the letter L, having a front on both Clay and Park street, The fire broke out in tne engine room, near the centre of the mill, and in @ short time the building was enveloped in dames, and the boilers of the engine exploded. In the meantime the fire alarm was sounded, and the steamers were soon on the ground and PLAYING ON THE FIRE. Aatiqt breeze rom the st was blowing and, owing to the heat and the dryness of the materials, the flames soon communicated with thé adjoining buildings on each side, on Clay and Park streets. A general alarm was Sounded, calling out the entire Fire Department. The flerceness and heat of the conflagration increased and the breeze fed the flames, which leaped across Clay street to the north side, and soon each side of Clay street, east to Park street, was on fire. The flames shot high above the burning buildings, and dense volumes of suffocating smoke were borne northeastwards, hurling in every direction blazing cinders, which fell on tne dry, parching roofs, Ina short time Park street on each side, from Lexington street on the south, across Clay street to Saratoga street on the north, was @ sheet of fire, nearly every building being in flames. The heat was so intense that all the firemen were driven from the street, THE FOUR BLOCKS BOUNDED BY LIBERTY STREET on the east, Saratoga on the north, Howard on the west and Lexington on the south, and intersected by Park and Clay _ atrects, were each ablaze, and several fine build- ings on Mulberry street had taken fire from the burning brands harlea by the wind. About eleven A. M. a general conflagration seemed imminent, and the Fire Department at Washington was telegraphed to for assistance. The greatest consternation prevailed. The roofs of several buildings as far of as Cal- vert street became ignited, as also the dome of the cathedral, steeple of St. Alphonsus’ Catholic church, corner of Park and Saratoga streets. In all directions women and children were fleeing from their burning houses, and for blocks around every article of furniture was being removed pell-mell and thrown from windows, The streets were impassable from blocking by furniture wagons and every kind of vehicle that could be brougnt into requ sition, While the fire was raging the entire Fire Degartwent was AODLL At EK DArINE agajnst its Valuable furniture and goods were | thrown upon the streets to be trodden under the © ELIS coo SSUR000 DOAN G0) The space on the map marked ‘*Burned Distr and Howard streets, comprises ten block’, divided by Cliy, Saratoga and Little Pleasant streets, running east and west, and by Park street, running north and south. ct,” bounded ly Mulberry, L.berty, L-x'ngton- Progress, assisted by an army of citizens, who crowded the roofs of the buildings on every side and many blocks off, quenching the falling, blazing brands with buckets of water and preventing ignition by spreading blankets, HE DOME OF THE CATHEDRAL was covered with blankets, and tius saved, as also St. Alphonsus church. The firemen, driven from Park street, between Lexington and Saratoga streets, by the intense heat, abandoned this section to its fate, and directed their main efforts to preventing the spread of the fire beyond the four blocks named. Shortly after one o'clock P. M. two engines arrived from Washington and rendered valuable assist- ance. The fire raged tili three P. M., but by four o’clock was completely under control.

Havana, July 25, 1873, The Republica Espafiola (newspaper) publishes an appeal from the republicans, addressed to “Citizen General Pieltain,” denouncing the meet- ings which have been lately held for the ostensible object of ameliorating financial and commercial affairs in the island. It declares that these meet- ings have accomplished nothing; they have merely put off action in hopes that the Carlists or Alfon- sists would get into power in Spain. The conservatives are termed the ‘enemies of the Repubiic,” and the services of the republicans, ‘whose numbers are not to be despised, are offered to the Captain General, ‘The address concludes thus:—‘‘Command us and you will find ua full of courage, ready tocombat for liberty, order, the integrity of the soil, justice and right. Think well over this, Citizen Pieltain. Think of the words of our Saviour, ‘Those who are not with me are against me.’ "” SHARP ACTION IN THB FIELD.
