Tho.mbst lextenei ve and disastrous fires ever known ; in Evansville, occurred yesterday afternoon about 21 o'edoefc. .' The fire broke out (in the extensive furniture factory f of Bloomer &' libeuig.Vjb'earthe comer of Market ahdj John Streets. Just how the fire Originated, we were unable . to " ascertain ,amid the confusion and .consternation (hat prevailed. -The 'op'eratives' had barely time to escape with their lives, and one unfortunate individual perished in the' flames. .Before the alarm could be sounded, the whole building, which was of wood, was in flames, flashing as if fed by powder or oil, and before the engine could reach the . scene, , though out with unprecedented celerity, the large chair factory of Mr. Louis J)amm, on the cor.' ner of Johnland.Market Streets, together with the' extensive lumber-yard attached to the furniture factory, and tw& o&eUid J 'PJiaej adjojijigg' ok the same, side, and four. dwellings on the opposite side 6f JlarkeJ,' were enveloped in a sheet of fire. ' The, lumber, which was alt seasoned .' and piled loosely,' wa3 a perfect ocean of flame, emitting such an intense heat that it wai'; impossible; Mi apjfroicliL" within any reasonable dlitanco'Jof it. I " 4 '. Th,e fireman made extraordinary efforts, and succeeded in- confining the flames to the buildings, above designated, though many other building1, many of them quite remote, were f'rrquenrtly'oi firo, hit wdrtlaavel by the active exertions of citizens, Or the temporary ..transfer , of. the, large streams poured through the several hose. The three steam engines did most effective work, though the firemen were frequently obliged to turn their nozzles upon the vast piles of lumber,, whose .in teubTaihlisTered thein as they worked. In an incredi blyshort time the whole spact presented' a sea of fire, the' flames shooting high in the air and th'e.f parks and cinders being borne by the 'stiff gale that blew fir over the surrounding buildings. Mr; Carpenter's fine residence was several times ca fire, and several houses also on Leet Street, and for a time it appeared as if that entire portion of the city would be wrapped in one universal conflagration. But the untiring energy of the firemen prevented, and the flames were gradually surpre.ssed. The sufferers are Louis Datum, Bloomer & Hocnig, Fletcher, Dr. Brueler, Johu Froclich, E. Q. Smith, Jacob Froelieh and another man whose name we did not learn. It was impossible, amid the excitement, to ascertain the probable loss or what insurance was on the property destroyed, fj L: The most calamitous incident of the occasion was the loss of human life it involved. Michael Magennls, an invalid but an industrious,! -mechanic, " was - working in the third storj? ' of ; the furniture factory with his little son, a lad of 14 or 15 years. When the alarm was given they rushed to the door and opened it, when the flames dashed into the room. The boy, by some means not realized by himself, managed to ' escape, but the father was enveloped, and perished miserably in the flames'. His v remains, horribly crisped, a:id 'rpasted.wererrfpovered jbeforejthe .flames- were nigh extinguished, and presented the most hideous sight we ever beheld. - The' boy was badly burned about the hands and head, but manifested a heroism that won great admiration. The family is poor, and their terrible calamity will commend them tothe kind hearted of Evansville. - "' Another man, John Gerdi-i, was also somewhat singed before he could escape.; it i . ;' . ' : .
