HEAVY LOSSES BY FIRE.

Destruction of a Chicago Bonded Warehouse, Involving: a Loss of More than 81,000,000. Chicago, March 20. Tho Central ware house, at the corner of Hush and Korth Water streets, took fire at about 4 o'clock this morning, and, with its valuable store of teas and coffees, was burned to the ground, entailing an estimated loss of be tween $1,250,000 and $1,500,000. The fire department had a very hard task, but suc ceeded in preventing the flames from destroying tho great Galena grain elevator of Munger, Wheeler & Co., and other buildings in the neighborhood. The wall of the warehouse fell on the engine-room of the elevator, crushing it like an egg-shell. As tho water from dozens of engine-nozzles soaked down the contents of the buildiug, the basement was 60on filled with water, and when the 40,000 cases of tea began to brow, streams of tea gushed from the win dows ana doors. Ine dock tor a distance of 100 feet was Hooded with the amber-colored liquid that poured, like a small cataract. into the river. The steam arising from this perfumed tho air blocks away. The building was a six-story brick structure, which cost. when built, in 1872, $50,000. Alderman Manmere is satisfied that the tire was of ince ndiary origin, because there was nothing in that portion of the building in which it originated to cause it, and because this is the third tiro in the structure within a year which can be accounted for on no otuer nypotUesis. About vO per cent, in - . 1 a . r vaiue oi tne contents was tea in Donu, as n was a government warehouse. Besides this there were a few thousand packages of coffee and other miscellaneous articles. The tea was owned by firms in various largo cities in all parts of the country, which makes it extremely difficult to ac curately estimate individual losses, as insurance was, doubtless, placed elsewhere. in some cases. An effort was made to as certain at the custom-house the exact value of the tea bonded in the warehouse by outside firms. Deputy Collector Jewell was seen about the matter and said that the custom-house books showed that there was not a pound of tea in the building, as a permit xor tne removal oi tne last oi it naa been issued. It was very evident that this statement was incorrect, as the olfactories of all who were in the neighborhood would testify. At tho store of Messrs. Fitch &, How land, who are among the heaviest losers, it was stated that there were in tho warehouse between 35,000 and 40.000 cases of tea. The wide discrepancy between the statement of tne deputy collector and that ot the merchant has not been reconciled. The following losses are known: ' Katherine Dekav Bronson. on building. $50,000; insurance, $30,000. W. K.

The wide discrepancy between the state ment of the deputy collector and that of tho merchant was explained by Mr. Man uiere, who said it was true the tea had just been released from bond, but, notwith standing that it had thus passed from the government ollicer's hands.it was still in tho warehouse waiting removal when tho lire took place. Fire and Probable Loss of Life. New York, March 26. A fire caused by an explosion occurred about 1 o'clock to day in a shoe factory at Williamsburg.

Assistance arriving, the gang was put to fiight, the Sisler boys fieeing to Uniontown yesterday, and are now thought to be secreted at one of tho numerous coke-works in this region. Blood bespattered the walls and ceiling of the church, showing the des perate nature cf the contest.
