A strong west wind was blowing at the time, which made the work of the liremen perilous ami for a time fruitless. Within half an hour the large dry goods store of SonnenfeUIs, which adjoined 1'enny & Gentles*, was a lire, ami the Haines were working their way to the Famous mammoth shoe house on the comer of ]roadway and Morgan street. Four firemen were caught in the Famous building and were overcome by smoke. They were rescued by their companions.

A Wholv P.loek llurniit£.

At 0 o'clock the entire block on the west, side of Uroadway, between Frauklin avenue and Morgan street, was a mass of tlames, which were being fanned by a strong wind, and. being carried across the street, threatened destruction to the immense dry goods house of D. Crawford & Co.. and the furniture store of Kopp'.eman tfc Co. The firemen poured their streams of water into the tire blindly, as the smoke was so dense and the odor of burning ribbons, 'feathers, cloth and shoes so strong that they could not remain on the windward side. The tire raged for two hours and it was only by the almost superhuman work of the firemen that a tremendous, .conflagration was averted.

Kir«»mun Hurt.

During one of the many collapses of burning1 floors in the different buildings two firemen named Lynch and •Simon were caught by the falling of loose bricks and timbers, liotli men were badly hurt and were carried to the hospital in an ambulancc. The watchman at Sonnenfelds' establishment is missing, anil it is feared that he may be in the ruins.

IlKilmccil by Smoke nntl Water. Across from Penny fc Gentles' on Franklin avenue were tlir-. establishments of Grierson & Co., hatters Ed.

Hold and a drug store on the corner of Uroadway and Franklin avenue. These places were badly damaged by smbke and water. The wind had died away considerably and the firemen were able to do battle with greater success. The whole block on the east side of liroadway, between Franklin avenue and Morgan street, including the establishment of D. Crawford it Co.. was damaged by fire and smoke.

The Vlcthns.

ll.v S o'clock the block of buildings, which on Monday was filled with holiday goods, was a mass of charred timbers, and the main part of the walls had fallen. The stores of Sonnenfelds, l'enny tJentles and the Famous shoe house (the largest shoe house in the west) were wiped out by the Uames. On Franklin avenue, opposite Penny A (ientles' esbUshment, was a block of retail stores. These were seriously damaged. The occupants were 0. \V. ileycr, dry goods (irierson .V Co., hatters lid F. !ohl. hatter: 1'. II. Coulkainp & Co.. lothiers St. Louis Tailoring Companj', C. lteemer & Co., clothing Charles T. Lange. clothing: L. Volking, boots and shoes (ieorge It. Stamper, dry goods: Franklin saloon and Halser A Co., dry goods. The fire was not gol under control until 10 o'clock.

The losses and insurance are as follows: Loss on stock and fixtures of the Famous Shoe and Clothing Company, *700.000: on building. 805,000: stock of l'enny & (ientle, S'200.000: building, S 10.000: on Sonnonfeld's stock, S100.000: on building, S55.000 the insurance on stock owned by the Famous.

On the east side of Broadwav the Weinman house, a four-story brick hotel, was completely destroyed. The "Square Peal Clothing Company," E. 1{. Stow & Co., grocers M. Toblin, millinery: G. Thai & Co., clothing the New York Millinery Company and the Koppelman Furniture Company were so badly damaged by smoke and water that their loss will be total.

The origin of the file is unknown, but, it is supposed to have been caused by an overheated stove or a defective Hue. Four fironen were compelled to slide down the hose pipe from the fourth story of the "Famous" store during the fire, but all escaped uninjured. gs KIGIIT IKlllSliS IHMtNKI).

Probable. London, Nov. 18.—There appears to be no end to the stories of damage resulting from the phenomenally bad weather that has been prevailing in Great liritain. The latest comes from Somerset, one of the southwest counties of Kngland. The 1'arret river has burst its banks and overflowed the fertile farms to a considerable depth. All the farmers, farm hands and others residing in the vieinity of the gap in the river's bank are working energetically to stop up the crevasse. Stones, old timbers, trees and large bags of sand and dirt are being thrown into the gap, but as yet the efforts to stop the flood have met with little success. The damage already caused by the inundation is placed at $350,000. (Everything Quiet In Ituly.

Perfect and uniform success in making finest food is more certain with Royal Baking' Powder than with anyother.

In Iowa the mortgage lndebtedn«-s is fijij per capita, in Kansas (jfrj and in iliinoix td i:very where the farmer is overburdened with debt.

President Polk then took up the demands of the farmer*. He first gave the history of the reform bill introiluoed into the last congress by members of the alliance, it received no consideration except in the way of denunciation. It is the imperative duty of the people, he said, to arrest the tendency to centralize the money of the country. This was one of the grand purposes of that bill. Hut despite assaults the subtivasury idea has grown lint* it is the sentiment of the order in thirty-four states, tlovernment control of railroads is one of the essential demands of the alliance: also tlie retention of the public domain for the people, the prohibition of gambling in futures, tli«! free coinage of silver, that United States senators be elected by popular vote and a graduated tax on incomes. Hut the greatest demand of all is that the national banking system be abolished and money be issued directly by the government.

CAN'T MOVE THE GRAIN.

Telegrams and letters are pouring in to the railway commissioners demand5!^- oars, so buyers can ship the grain they have purchased. A special meeting of the commissioners will be held in Huron to take decisive act-ion in regard to the petition of the grain buyers. The commissioners will at once visit Minneapolis and St. Paul and caII upon, the officials of tlie rail* way systems to see if ^nine means cannot be secured to alleviate the difficulty. Kepoit:. from Armour, Hartford, Spencer, Lennox. Carthage, l»altie,Dell Uapitls, Kgan, Kureka, NYeiitworth and a dozen other good grain buying points, declare no cars arc on hand nor to be obtained. At Spencer the grain buyers have filled every vacant building, elevators, barns, sheds and stores, and no cars are in sight, and liavo temporarily ceased buying.

Mrs. l.aurn C. Douglas, of Michigani i||g Messrs. .1. M. Woodman, of Michigan, and X. X. Chartrcs, of Virginia, were reelected members of the executi committee.

Armour wants twenty-five ears at once, or, they will have to nail tlie doors of their elevators up. In the northern part of the state at a number of places the grain buyers have nailed their elevator doors and fastened up a big placard, reading: "No more grain bought until cars are received." The commission estimates the shortage of cars in the state at 2,500. Kven snare bedrooms have been utilized in some cases as storerooms for the wheat.
