OVER $1001000,000- FiRE Baltimore, Md., Feb. 8, -Baltimore is staggering to -night under a fire loss which crone bas the temerity to put into figures. The important :tonirrier- cial district is a mass of blackeued ruins, the result of a conflagration which, raged without even a women- taary, check frotu 10.45 :t. in. yesterday' until 3 a'tlock this afternoon, when the officials agree the flames were un- der control. The tire raged" nearly 38 bones, in spite of almost superhtunan efforts pub forth by the het fighting forces which inure than half a dozen cities mustered. To -night the city is overcast with gloom. The only lights- iin that section whichescaped destruc- tion are from corner gas lamps, The stns es ere closed'• in nearby every street; the darkened aveunesiare full of jostling people talking of one sub- ject, - ub-ject.:- Apparently there is but one cause for gladness, " acid that is that there are no homeless, for the resi- dence section of the city escaped. Throughout the terrible, contest which fireman and fire waged for sup- remacy, hunnanity was handicapped bye gale which carried horning brands to remote sections. But for the work of volunteers in extinguishing these embers, it is idenostcertaain the burned. area would have been much greater. As it is, about 75 blocks, or 140 aures, are gone, The district thus swept by fire com- prised nearly 2,500 buildings, InsuP- an te companies have opened temper - levy officesin the Lexington, Hotel, but their, representatives decline to. esti- mate .the loss.
