WILMINGTON, N. C.MONDAY. APRIL 8, 1889.
NO 84.
A terrific fire raged in Savannah
on Saturday night and before it
could bo checked it had burned
through half a mile of the most pros
perous section of the city and en
tailed a loss of from $1,000,000 to
$1,500,000. The latter figures are
below. For half an hour all interest
centred here. An engine was sent
to the church, but it got there too
late. At any time daring the first
ten minutes a single bucket of water
would have saved the picturesque
structure. The church was a mas
sive edifice of granite and
The vestibule train will be discon
tinued to-morrow.

More than eighty business firms,
families and real estate owners share
in the loss. AH manner of house
hold effects, snatched hastily from
the homes of rich and poor, fill the
streets and squares on both sides of
the path of the still glowing coals.
Just at dusk last evening, perhaps
fifteen minutes before 7 o'clock, ii
clerk in Dauiel Hogan's dry goods
store, at Broughton and Barnard
streets, attempted to light the gas
in one of the front windows. The
taper touched a curtain and in an
instant the window was ablaze.
JPowder could not have flashed up
niore quickly. A mass of laces and
ladies" wear filled the windows. All
of this was in flames before the
clerk could tear the curtain from its
hangings. A passer-by on the side
walk, thinking he could assist in
putting out a mimic fire at that
stage, smashed in the glass with his
cane. In rushed a gust of wind,
which was blowing strong from the
Northwest. The draft Carried the
flames from the window to a sbelf.
Down this the fire ran almost as fast
as an electric current. The most re
markable fact was the incredible
rapidity with whfph the fire spread
at the start.
Thirty five men, girls and boys
were employed in Hogan's. The
first and only alarm these had was
the "blaze of light which came with
the suddenness of a Hash of light
ning. Those on the first floor rushi
eJ for the door, not stopping: even
to pick up their hats and bonnets.
S. Golinski, a salesman, who was
the last one out, says that the first
intimation he had of danger was the
sheet of light which flooded the
building. He was down in the base
ment and rushed up in time to see
the last girl escaping out the
Broughton street door. This door
was encircled with fire when he
reached it and he was blistered in
dashing out. By. this time all the
first floor was wrapped in flames,
which were leaping up the broad
stairs to the upper stories. In three
minutes after the fire started every
floor was enveloped, and the flames
were bursting from the windows and
roofs.
In fifteen minutes Hogan's build
ing was completed gutted. A thous
and roofs in the residence section
were imperilled, but there was dan
ger nearer at hand. Adjoining the
Hogan building on the east was
Douglass & Co's crockery house, and
next to that two two story brick
buildings. When the roof of the
tall store fell in, flames broke from
the crockery store and a moment
later Mrs. P. Cohen's store, on the
southwest corner of Barnard and
Broughton, was burning.
For five minutes more men won
dered if the handsome home of the
Odd Fellows, a beautiful four story
brick hall, would escape, but it did
not. By twenty minutes after 7 rt
was on fire in a half dozen places.
AH that the firemen could do was of
no avail. On this fine structure were
two towers.. From these the sparks
rose hundreds of feet in the air.
The Odd Fellows' Hall stood on
the north side of Telfair square. To
the south was another house for
three hundred feet; more than a
square acre of open ground intej
vened. Had the night been ciilm,
the desolation would not be a tenth
of what it is, but with sheets or fire
sweeping out a hundred feet some
times and with a shower of sparks,
which made a livid canopy, so lurid
and yet so dense that the moon could
not be seen throught it, falling a
mile away, the wonder is that the
blackened wake which the scourge
left does not reach a mile and a half
instead of. only half a mile. By 7:30
a dozen buildings were- burning
fiercely.
.The fire was beyond the control
of the home department, who have
