and indisputable evidences of its ovll

Baltimore, Md., Feb. 9. Baltimore in
staggering under lire loss which no ono
has tho temerity to put in figures.
rho important commercial district la
ilackcned ruins, laid bare by a con
flagration which raged without mo
mentary check from 10: 45 n. in. Sun
day until late In tho afternoon yester
day. At three o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon the city officials again
breathed. It was agreed tho llameu
were under control. They had raged
28 hours In spite of almost superhu
man efforts put forth by the best fight
ing forces which more than half a
dozen cities were ablo to mustor. Tho
city Is overcast with gloom. Apparent
ly there Is but one causo for gladncsa
nnd that is that thcro aro no home
less. The residence section of the city
escaped.
Throughout that terrible contest In
which firemen and fire waged for su
premacy, humanity was handicapped
by a galo which carried burning
brands over the headB of the workers
and beyond tho reach of hundreds of
streams of water poured into tho rag
ing furnaces. But. for tho work of
volunteers in seeking out and extin
guishing these embers It is almost
certain the burned area would have
been twice larger than It 1b. About 75
squares or 140 acres arc In ashos, ex
tending from Lexington street on tho
north to Pratt street on tho south;
from Liberty street on tho west to
Jones' falls on the cast.
Men last night talked in figures that
wore appalling and almost Incompre
hensible In their vnatness. An ex
pert, tho city building inspector, esti
mates tho loss In buildings alone at
$150,000,000. On tho other hand, It la
said that Insurance estimates do not
plnco tho total loss at a greater figure.
Not a slnglo life has been lost and
not a human being has been even dan
gerously injured. The hospital lists
consist of minor bums, with the excep
tion of Jacob Ilglnfrltz, a fireman from
York, Pa. He has a fractured leg and
la badly burned.
There has been no disorder nnd, to
the credit of tho city of Baltlmoro, It
bhould bo said thero has been no loot
ing or attempt at looting. Baltimore
last night was as orderly as a village,
and only tho throb of the laboring fire
engines and the reverberating boom of
dynamite, as it brlngB dangerous walls
to tho ground, disturb Its wonted quiet.
Men who hnve lost all, who wore mer
chant princes Sunday and practically
beggared now, view their great losses
with a calm that is either the apathy
of dazed senses or quiet resignation
to tho Inevitable. This constitutes tho
most remarkable phase of the mcasuro
less calamity that has befallen tho
monumental city.
Tho common remark of citizens is
that Baltimore lias recolvod a blow
from which It cannot recover for years.
Mayor McLane is among those who avo
optimistic and whllo expressing his
sorrow over tho calamity expressed tho
hopeful conviction that this city will
quickly rise liko a Phoenix from Us
ashes.
It Is anticipated that there may bo
much suffering and destitution follow
ing upon tho heels of tho destructive
visitation and Mayor McLano and other
city officials are already discussing re
lief measures. It Is estimated that as
many as 20,000 persons will bo thrown
out of employment and many of those
and their families will bo without re
sources. .Gov. Warfleld called an oxt.ra ses
sion of tho legislature to empower him
to declare tho city under martial law
and suspend all business for ten days.
Gov. Warfleld declared tho day
a legal holiday. It Is expected
this will bo oxtonded for several
days, or until such tlmo as tho chnotlo
conditions in tho business and financial
districts can bo straightened out. This
proclamation closes all banks and other
financial Institutions uud defers tho
payment or commercial paper. This
action of Gov. Warfleld Suspends the
operation of various business contracts
nnd greatly relieves tho complex con
ditions which confront tho business
and financial Interests.
