A CITY DESTROYED. Oshkosh, Wis., Burned to the Ground. A SQUARE MILE OF HOUSES GONE Twelve Mills, Hotels and Rail- road Depot Swept Away. Estimated Loss Three-Quar- ters of a Million. THE BURNED DISTRICT DEFINED. A Powder Magazine Blown Up and a Number of Lives Lost. HUNDREDS OF PERSONS HOMELESS, Miwavxzg, April 28, 1875. A most destructive fire at Oshkosh, in this State, broke out at half-past one this after- noon. It commenced at either Morgan Brothers’ or Spaulding & Peck’s mills, on the north bank of the upper Fox River, about a quarter of a mile west of the heart of the city, There was a high northwest wind blowing atthe time, and the embers of the fire were blown into the neighboring lumber yards. The fire then spread with awful rapidity to the neighboring mills, of which there are twelve or fifteen between the scene of the conflagration and the business blocks. FRAME DWELLINGS. All the region north and west of Main street consisted of frame dwellings, and it was seen that much of it was doomed to de- straction. FIGHTING THE FIRE The principal fight was made at Division street, which runs north and south, and con- sists of brick buildings extending back to Main street and irregularly to several streets east, the whole acting somewhat as a barrier to the flames, which licked up everything north, from the river east of Pine street to this barrier in a northeasterly direction as far as Algoma street, and thence in a line easterly to Lake Shore, cutting a path through Division street and Main street as wide as from Algoma street on the north to Balle’s block on the south. Sey- eral blocks south of that to the river, at this point, were saved at one time. The flames, however, presently burst through this bar- rier and again extended north and south, sweeping almost everything out of the path- way that had been supposed to be preserved from destruction. TWELVE MILLS BURNED. The south line was grimly marked by the destruction of twelve mills. The Beckwith House, Harding’s Opera House, the two tele- | graph offices, the Chicago and St. Paul Rail- | road depot and a number of other important | buildings were burned down within seventy- five minutes. EXTENT OF BURNT DISTRICT. At half-past three o’clock about a mile and a quarter of territory, east and west, by over a quarter of a mile average width, was burned over, with very few residences or business blocks left standing. POWDER MAGAZINES, During the progress of the fire several ex- plosions were heard, and it was reported that five or six men were killed by the blowing up of a powder magazine. The confusion was, however, so great that it was impossible to ascertain with certainty whether this rumor was founded in fact, The scenes in the burned district are so appalling that no relia- ble particulars as to loss of life can be ob- tained. THE LOs3, The most moderate estimate of the loss is $750,000, of which the Northwestern Insur- rance Company, of this city, lose $30,000. CROSSING THE RIVER. Several times during the conflagration the flames crossed the river to the south side, but were fortunately extinguished before aay very serious damage was done, TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION. Many determined attempts were made to renew telegraphic communication with ad- joining cities, but after several continuous | failures the attempts had to be given up, The only telegraph line available was that of the Northwestern Railroad. The operator at this point managed to keep his line open. LATER PARTICULARS, All the banks and printing offices are de- stroyed. Several hundred houses are burned to the ground; an exact estimate of the num- ber is not at present ascertainable, Two men have been carried in from the ruins, and it is certain that more must have met their death during the progress of the fire. The city is in the possession of a gang of thieves, and vigilance committees are forming. OTHER ACCOUNTS. CONFUSION IN THE CITY—raTasrrtes, Osmxosn, Wis., April 28—9 P. M. & terrible fire has been raging all the after- | noon. All the newspaper offices, banks, telegraph offices, the Harding Opera | House, Post Office, Universalist church, all the hotels but one, and nearly | tion, and it is understood that whatever be may all of the business portion of the city are gone. It is utterly impossible to estimate the loss. Two men have been killed by fall- ing walls. The city is in the wildest state of frenzy. The burned district is nearly a mile square, THE DESTRUCTION—AID TO FIGHT THE FIRE. * Munwaverz, April 28, 1875. About half-past one o’clock this afternoon a fire broke out at Morgan Brothers’ Mill, on the north bank of the river in Oshkosh. A high wind prevailed at the time, and the flames swept onward with irresistible force. The portion of the city consumed at this time of writing embraces the leading business blocks and some of the finest resi- dences in Oshkosh. The Beckwith House and Harding’s Opera House are among the buildings consumed. Both of the _ telegraph offices aro burned, and there is great difficulty in securing despatches. Engines were called in from Fond du Lac and Ripon. It is rumored that & powder magazine was blown up and that five or six men perished. The total loss is estimated at $750,000. THE WIDESPREAD DEVASTATION~A PLUNDERING MOB—THE FIRE ENGINES STOPPED. Osxxosu, Wis., April 28, 1875, The fire broke out in Morgan & Brothers’ saw mill, burning that and a dozen other saw and shingle mills on Sawdust avenue, and millions of lumber, 100 houses, all the printing offices, Harding’s Opera House and Beckwith & Adams’ Hotel. The burned district is one and a halt miles long and half a mile wide, Three lives are reported to be lost, and hun- dreds of persons are homeless. Nearly all of the business houses are burned, in- cluding all the banks, and on the north side there is not a dry goods store standing. It is impossible to give the losses to-night. The city is in the hands of a mob, and extra police are on duty. Early in the fire all the engines of the town were rendered useless, and the best one fella prey to the flames it was to fight. SKEICH OF THE CITY OF OSHKOSH. Oshkosh, which has a population of about 9,000, is the capital of Wimnebago county. It is situated on both sides of the Fox River, at its entrance into Lake Winnebago, on ground that slopes gradually toward the lake and river. Immediately above the place the river widens into Lake Butte des Morts, Lumber and agricultural machinery are the principal manufactured products. There are in the city seventeen sawmills, cutting over 50,000,000 feet of lumber annually, besides lath and pickets; six shingle mulls, making 6,500,000 shingles; three planing mills, three sash and door factories, one fence factory, three flour and grist mills, three grafh warehouses, two foun- dries aud machine shops, one railroad machine shop, two tanneries, three breweries, three print- ing offices, publishing two weekly and one daily paper and one monthly German magazine; one bookbindery, eleven churches and three public halls. The County Court House and Jail is a very fine edifice. By means of the Fox and Wisconsin rivers and the works ofthe Fox and Wisconsin Improvement Company, it is connected with Green Bay and the waters that flow into the Gulf of the St. Lawrence on the one haad, and with the Mississippi on the other, Steamboats come there from Pittsburg, Pa,, and several that were buil¢ there are now ranning on the Mississippi and its tributaries, A ship yard is established to build boats and barges for the Mississippi. The Wolf Raver is navigable for small steamboats uo tnto the pine Inmber region for 100 miles, Most of the lumber and shingles manufactured goes South over the Chicago and Northwestern road to find a | market. This roaa will soon form a continuous une to Lake Superior, it being completed except a link of water communteation on Green Bay, A COUNTY WORKHOUSE BURNT. THREE HUNDRED AND FINTY OF THE IN- MATES LOSE THEIR LIVES—ORIGIN OF FIRE UNKNOWN. Prrtspure, Pa., April 28, 1875. The Allegheny County Workhouse, situated at Claremont, nine miles from this city, was partially destroyed by fire this afternoon. It was one of the most complete institutions of the kind in the country, and has been not only self-supporting, but o source of considerable revenue to the county. Out of 350 persons it is thought but few escaped | from custody. The total loss is esti- mated at from $40,000 to $50,000. The insurance applicable to the burned portion amounts to $24,000, of which $18,000 | 1s on the building and $6,000 on the contents, | and is divided among ten local companies. The exact origin of the fire is as yet un- | known. WASHINGTON, WasHInaTon, April 28, 1875.
