IS SWPT Hi MIES. San Francisco Visited by a Destnio. live Fire Last Night. LOSS WILL BE ENORMOUS. ' Break. Out 111 a Box Factory and Noon Get* Beyond the Control of the Flroineii—Several Explosion* Occur, but. No One Reported Ji Ju red—-Six Firemen Killed at Minneapolis. San FranciSco, June 28. —AtO o’clock last evening an alarm was Bounded from Fourth and Brannan streets for a fire in the box factory of Wright, Carrick & Williams. The fire spread rapidly and in a.few minutes the Fifth Street Furniture company’s building was a mass of flames. As soon as the fire chief arrived another alarm was sounded, but despite the work of thu firemen it was not long before the whole I block bounded by Fourth, Fifth. Dryant and Brannan streets' was a mass of flames. A third alarm, calling all the Are apparatus of the city into use, was sounded, but still the fire spread, and at this hour (7 o'clock) the buildings on the other Aido of Brannan street have commenced, to burn, with a strong wind blowing, and it looks as if the fire would work its way through to the water front. The firomen seem almost powerless. Several explosions have occurred, but so far as kiibwn no tu/e is injured. 'lbis section is the wood manufacturing center of the—city, being devoted to all branches of the lumber trade. This same section was completely gutted nine years ago. Fire Beyond* Control. At 7:40 p. in., the fire was beyond control and the prospects were that it will sweep to the water front, a half mile away. No exact estimate as to the loss can now be made, but it is* believed to be already $2,000,000. The buildings in the region of the fire are almost all wood devpted to manufacturing interests. There are a large number of brick wineries in the vicinity and if the fire reaches them the loss will be enormous. The fire has already reached Fourth street and if it crossed that thoroughfare the whole south of Market street from Fifth street to the water front is doomed. Entire Block In Ruins. At 8:30 p. in. the entire block hounded by Fourth, Fifth, Bhixome and Brannan streets, was a mass of ruins.. The lire has reached the Overland Transfer company’s brick freight warehouse and the hardware storehouse of Baker & Hamilton. These brick buildings have temporarily checked the flames, but they are whirling around to the yards. A num tier of immense warehouses have been destroyed. The enormous brick winery of Lackman & Co., which contains over 1,000,000 gallons of wine, has just caught fire at one corner. It is thought, however, that this property can be saved. -- ■ High Wind Blowing. The wind is blowing half a gale and the sparks fire being carried for blocks, greatly increasing the spread of the fire. The winery of Lachman & Jacoby, which is even larger than the Lachman winery, at the corner of Third and Brannan streets, has not yet been reached by the fire, and the firemen are devoting all their efforts to keep it from spreading in that direction. Thousand* Flock to th© Scene. At 9 p. m. the fire had been raging five hours and was burning as fiercely as ever. Now that darkness has fallen, the magnitude of the conflagration is beginning to lie appreciated by the people. The whole southern skjr is ablaze and thousands of people are flocking to the scene from all parts of the city. The police are having hard work" to keep the multitude out of danger and give the firemen room to work ‘ in. Every fireman and engine are at work and special police are being pressed into service. The fire at Lachuian’s winery appears to be checked, but it is eating its way on all sides of the big brick building. Fire Under Control.' The fire department-pronounced the fire practically under control at 9:30 o’clock. The wind has shifted to the southwest, driving the flames back over the burned district. The limits of the fire are now confined to the houses im-. mediately in the burned territory. The flames are now within 100 yards of the railroad yards and offices, but it is not anticipated that they will be destroyed. Over 100 families have lost their homes and all they possessed. A large number of horses Were burned in their stables, it is not believed that the loss will be as great as at first estimated. Probably $2,000,000 will cover it. It is nearly a total loss, however, as, owing to the dangerous district insurance rates have been so high that insurance was almost prohibited. UNDER FALLING WALLS. Six Firemen Meet Death During a Fire at Minneapolis. Minneapolis, June 28.—The most disastrous fire which ever visited Minneapolis, accomplished its work of destruction and death last night. Within au hour after the alarm rang in at 11 o’clock six firemen paid the penalty of death for their faithfulness in trying to save the property of others. The dead are: Joseph Hay, truck No. 2. Wautkr Richardson, hose No. 5. Frank Rulaine, lieutenant of hose company No. 6. John Horner, truck No. 3. Bert Thomas, hose No. 10, 'died on the way to the hospital. Unidentified, new member Os engine company No. 14. Several others were seriously injured and it is thought there may be still more dead who have not yet been extricated from under the walls which fell and crushed them. The seriously injured so far as known are: Edward Thielen, lieutenant.of hook and ladder companj’ No. 2. Captain Caldwell, engine company No. 6. The nronerty loss consisted of the en-

I tire demolition of the building octmpied by McDonald Bros , dealers in crook- | ery. chinaware, glassware, silverware | and gas fixtures. I The building was of four stories, brick wails and Wotxlen interior frame I work and was well stocked. The fire originated in the boxes and packing ! stored in the rear of the building and was beyond the power of the fire departs ■ ment to control. At a few minutes beI fore midnight the walls fell, one side I Wall falling in and the other falling out into the alley, where the firemen were at work. The total loss will aggregate over $100,Obi); insurance unknown. WAGE CONFERENCE. i Rnpre*©ntNtiv©A of the Iron and Steel IndimtrleM Meet at Youngfltown.

T., June 28.—The double tragedy here Wednesday in which R. W. Patterson, register of the United States land office, and City Marshall Williams were killed, has created the wildest excitement. Editor Isen- ' berg’s wound is serious though not necessarily fatal. The trouble grew oat of a severe criticism of Patterson in The Daily Wave, who attacked Isenberg on ' the street. Marshal Williams lost his life while interferring. All three of the ipeu had manyfriends, and sides are being taken by the citizens. Isenberg came to Enid shortly after the opening, Sept. 16, 1893, and started The Daily Wave, a Democratic paper. He is a fearless fighter and writes with a pen drinping with wormwood. He has made a practice of scoring his enemies mercilessly in season and out of season. ; Register Patterson was well liked. He was a brilliant public speaker and an enterprising, courageous man.
