Fire In Louisville.

Louisville. Ky., June 24.—At 9:30 Thursday night the entire strength of the Louisville fire department was summoned to combat a fire in the wholesale tobacco district, which for a time threatened to do enormous damage. In 20 minutes the walls of Smend & Co.'s iron foundry were tottering, and in an hour property to the value of $250,000 had gone up in smoke.
