Baltimore, Md., Feb. ,8. -The MOat. disastrous conflagration in the his - !tory of Baltimore occurred here yes- iterday, raging practically' unchecked 'during many hours, completely de- stroying scores of the largest, busi- ness houses in the wholesale dis- trict, involving losses which cannot be estimated, as the fire Was still burning fiercely when night fell, Ow- ing to the wide extent of the calam- ity, it will be late to -day before ev- en an approximate estimate of the loss can be made, though it is cer- tain that it has already exceeded $15,000,000. The fire broke out shortly before 11 o'clock In the morning In the wholesale dry goods store of John E. Hurst & Company on Hopkins place, in the heart of the business district, , with a series of loud explosions, which were heard In all parts of the city. It spread with fearful rapidity. Deacon Big a arohousos on Firs. In half an hour there was a dozen . big warehouses in the wholesale dry , goods district burning' fiercely. The Ientire city fire department was call- , ed out, but it was utterly powerless Ito check the spread of the flames, 1 which were aided by high winds, and I by noon there were savage fires in , at least thirty big warehouses, and the conflagration was steadilyo eat- , Ing its way into blocks east, north, west and south. , All Fire righters Out. Diary bit of fire -fighting apparatus In the city was called into requisi- tion as the flames spread, but the firemen realized they had a task too great for them to combat. Tele- grams for fire engines were sent to Washington and Philadelphia, and about 1 o'clock tax engines arrived from Washington and four from Philadelphia and joined in the bat- tle. Engines from the stations in Baltimore, Howard, Anne Runde' and Hartford Counties were a1s0 summoned, some of the apparatus traveling a distance of thirty miles and more. aso Linea of Hose Plarillff. It is roughly estimated. that tkere were 850 lines of hose playing upon. different parts of the conflagration.' Owing •to the great congestion of fire. apparatus. the crowds of people and the general confusion, many .�f the engines from out of town were un- able to find a place where they - would be of any service. . With loud roars wall' after wall toppled to the streets and firemen ran for their lives. At the City Hospital the physi, • clans worked on the roof extinguish. - Ing the fires started by the rain 'of cinders. Tremendous Explosion .of Whiskey. Eighteen women, two babies and seven nurses were taken from the Maternity Hospital in police ambto lances. At 3 o'clock a tremendous • explosion of aboiit 150 barrel! of . whiskey stored in the upper floors of 24 Hanover street hurled tonsof burning matter across the street onto ' the roofs of the buildings vihich the firemen had drenched with water, hoping to make Hanover street •the eastern boundary line of the confla- gration. Tho flames quivered for a moment; and then ,took hold and ate into the st ructures. Terrific Explosion Notified City. The whole city was notified of the conflagration by a terrific eXplosion about 11, o'clock. A sharp, splitting roar was followed' by a whistling noise. In the crowded churches the, people became frightened and hun- dreds went to the streets to seirt-whiet catastrophe had befallen. Then came another thunderous crash and dense columns of cinders and smoke shot On over the central section of' the city, and in a huge brown column Moved rapidly to -ward the northwest. Ex- cited throng filled the streets. The columns of smoke, pieces of rooting and wood were varried along rapidly, and people were forced to dodge the rain of fire. Two more explosions followed. Of all the spectators comparatively NW • saw the fire iteelf. They could apt get within half a block of it. At this hour -midnight -the/ fire la absolutely beyond control and all occupants of the buildings in the centre of the city are rapidly re- moving their valuables. So far as knoWn at this hour no one has been killed.. It, is now estimated that the mon- ey loss le111 exceed $40,000,000, • SCHOOLBOY BLUNDERS.

There is an old industrial tradition that the iron market is the "barometer of trade." This saying has been as- cribed te many modern authorities, ranging from Jay Gould to Andrew Carnegie. As a •matter of fact,, it is much older than any oracle of this cen- tury or the last. It had its origin in the earliest days of the period when Iron manufacture and the use of credit. were simultaneously rising to impor- tance. The basis for the tradition is that the use of iron and'of its products is essential for the prosecntion of vir- tually all other industries,- Before the output of miseellaneous manufactures In it comnamity eau be much enlarged the industriee concerned must be equip. ped with new tool:rand new machinery. Before a railroad system can be pre- pared to transport a greatly increased traffic it must have new rails, new bridges, new stations, new cars and new locomotives. In these days of the steel and iron odice building a "boom!' in the buliding trade cannot go fair witheut increasing enormously the de. mond for structural Iron. Even in the, agricultural industry it may be said that expansion and prosperity involve necessarily largely increased demand for torn machinery. Since the use ot such additional equipment must pre- cede any itacreatle in the business of these other trades if naturally follows, first, that demand in the iron market will be felt aggressively even before the other industries have Shown fUll meas- ure of activity, and, second, that if sueh other industries foresee a period of slack demand and idle mills the drat thing they will do will be tO reduce their orders froni the Iron and steel naino-Alexander D Noyett in Portam. sems ofa story. „.
