MERMOD-JACCARD FIRE. The Great St. Louie Jewelry House a Mass of Ruins. The Lou a* L«ut £500.000, and How Sack More* Can Not be Estimated Cutll the Content* of the Fireproof Vaults are Examined. St. Louis, Dec. . 30.—The great Jewelry house of Mermod-Jaccard, oue the eld laud marks of St. Louis and the west, jivas completely destroyed by fire at au Nearly hour yesterday morning. It is impossible to form au accurate estimate of the loss. It was one of the largest firms of the kind iu the world. All of the stock was ruined, unless the diamonds, which were locked in a vault iu the rear end of the building, are saved. The firemen kept several streams of water playing on the vault, aud it is likely that tue eontents are not seriously damaged. At best, however, the loss on stock will run up into big figures. The building was a landmark, structed on att old-fashioned plau. It was owned by the Kenuett estate. The night watchman iu charge of the building can give no information as to the origiu of the fire, beyond the fact that it started iu the basement. There is nothing left of the big building except the skeleton walls. Tlte buildiug was burned from roof to basement, and as the dames spread the walls fell iu after the fuel was burned away.

The big irou safes in the southwest corner of the building', ou the Locust street-side, are supposed to be tire proof as well as burglar proof. These vaults are covered with bricks from the falling walls, but the valuable con* tents, the diamonds, watches and valuable jewelry in them are thought to be safe, Not one dollar's worth of stuff was carried out, so tierce was the tire burning when the department arrived. The loug show cases and tables were tilled with holiday goods of all kiuds, silver, cut glass, lamps aud costly bronzes, tiue marbles, clocks aud works of art. Not one article was tukcu out of the house. All were melted or went down in the falling walls.. Chief Swingley of the tire-department said: It was the quickest tire we have had to tight it} a long time. It started iu the basement, near the alley ou the Locust street, side, and seemed to take the whole building at once. It worked upstairs so rapidly that it was utterly impossible todoauythiug with it. “The people on the upper floors we had to tivke out. There was a standpipe aud tire escape ou the Locust street side. This was used to get the people out from the building. They lost everything, aud had to fly for tlieii lives aud get ou whatever clothes they could lay their hands ou in a hurry. *T have no idea what Mermod-Jac-card's stock is worth. The building will be a total loss of about $l:i5,U00.’: The intense heat broke the big plate glass windows of Scruggs, Vaudervoort Barney, ou the south side of Locust street, to quite a costly degree. The combined effect of the cold water and hot tire cracked the big windows on the ground floor into fragments, which fell iu a perfect shower ou the pavement. The salvage corps huug up tarpaulins over the openings to save the stock inside from damage from the flying spray and the smoke. Mr. C. F. Mathey, head of one of the departments, was ou the scene shortly after the tire broke out. He was utterly at sea as to the umouut of the loss sustained. “It is impossible to estimate the loss at this time,’* saia Mr. Mathey. “Everything of great value, such as jewels aud stoues was put into the safes when we closed up Saturday night, but aside from that there was au immense Christmas stock of high grade goods which will be a total loss. All the silver-plated waVe, cut glass, bric-a-brac and fancy stock is of course a total loss. I could not guess within SIOO.UOO of what the loss will be. “All of our Christmas trade, which would have come in during the week is also, of course, a dead loss.'’ Mr. Bolte, one of the members of the Arm, said that the loss would not be less than 8500.000, but how much more it would be he could not say. The destruction of the Springer Cloak Co., on the northeast corner of the buildiug was almost as complete aa in the jewelry store. This company'carried a full stock ol cloaks, capes and garments. The stock was worth between 850,000 and 875,000, upon which there is insurance of threafourths.
