Bcptalo, N. Y, Nov. 7. The Wells
kvator, oaa of Buffalo's great graw
warahousas was destroyed by lira yes
terday morning. Tba toss on the eleva
tor aad cod tents is estimated at 1200,000
At 1:55 o'clock the fire waa discovered
ud a general alarm sent in. The fire
tug was the first to arrive and soon had
an effective stream playing upon the
flames, but it was uphill work, as the
llamas fanned by a atiff southwest wind
had made rapid progress.
The marine tower waa aoon ablaze
and it waa ao high that the streams
could not reach it. Whan the ateem
ars arrived tba fire had spread to tie
attire building and at 2:10 a. m. pene
trated every section of the dock side
and encompassed the roof. The build
ing waa doomed and the firemen turned
their attention to sarins the adjoining
jtroporty. TheWilkason elevator waa
eparated from the Wells by a small
alley and it waa in great danger. It waa
on fire several times, but tbe concen
trated efforts of the firemen prevented
the flames from making any headway.
Meanwhile the fire in tbe Walla was
burning fiercely. Huge sheets of name
leaped from the structure , lighting tbe
vicinity for blocks around. Opposite
the elevator on Ohio atreet stood a num
ber of buildings used for saloons, cheap
boarding houses and tecementa. These
structures were in danger aad the fire
men were obliged to deluge them with
water to keep them from burning. The
shipping in the river waa also in great
danger, but was pulled away to places
at safety before the fire had communi
cated to it. The brig John C Golt of
Like Erie transportation company lay
directly behind tbe elevator, but tugs
went attached to her and waa swung
around to a safe place before the flames
had made much progress. The elevator
waa covered with corrougated iron, and
thia metal in the fierce heat peeled off
in large aheeta and fell around the fire
men. At 2:55 a cloud of burning grain
snot up into the air and settled on the
booses on the north side of Ohio street
Tba fireman turned their attention to
thia new danger and kept the roofs of
these structures well wet down. At 3
o'clock the iron sides of the elevator be
gan to glow like a furnace and hers and
there ware gaping holes ahowing red
bot grain inaide. Three Lackawanna
3ara drawn up on Ohio street caught
Sre, but burned alowly. RU tar's boiler
hep, a large frame building on Miaaia
tippi street, took fire from the sparks,
but waa quickly extinguished. The
roof of every building in the neighbor
hood was covered at different times with
bot coals, and even the sidewalks
nixing and stewing.

Tbccku, Cai, Nor. 7. A most dis
astrous fire broke out here shortly af
ter midnight, and as the wind was blow
ing a herricane, tbe flames ware soon
beyond control. Tbe fire waa started
in tbe rear of Stall's brewery by a man
who waa aaen running swiy from tbe
place soon after the flames broke out
The brewery and half a dozen other
buildings were soon bunting. Citizens
fought tbe flames with great determin
ation. The Are train from Summit gave
assistance, but the efforts were of no
avail. East Main street was soon in
tea and all the frame buildings on
Front street were burning. Nearly for
ty buildings, including tbe entire buai-
a portion of town, had been destroyed
by two o'clock yesterday morn'ng. The
residence portion also seem ed doomed.
A light snow wsa falling, but Aad no
effect on the flames.
