thelrvvay hero fiom the wpst to piotect the
preside nt , the ldc.iw.is laughed at b } while
house olllclals , but any one who Is used to
golnir to the white house could not hut hive
noticed the unusual numbci of delccthcs
within Us portals to dij. Tin1movcel like
chcsfi.i.-n on a bo.inl. Tlipy wcio slationcd
nt cofftenliNit points , anil during the e-.iily
part of Hip day WCIP moved b } signals from
n chief or head man. No soonci did any one
* rylo gobcond a certain pioscribcd part of
the house than one of these men gel up fiom
somewhere and stopped ( ho way. They were
nil dressed In cili/cns clothing , and some
were uncomfortable In white cotton gloves.
Towanls the end , when tlio ciowel of
clllens began to cuter , the chief
gathered Ids men about him that Is , closri
vlthln the pioscribcd pieclncts and made
thorn irnaid oveiy eiilrancp laphll } . Many
people did not think as tin- } mixed In the
rrovvds In thocast loom that evciy now and
then they elbowed n detective. Vctsucliwas
the fact , and but let them once til to ictiace
their stops and they soon found out if de
tectives weie mound or not. Of conisethc
usual police foico of the1 white house was on
guniil , but the1 oxlia oue-s weio theie too.
A long line of handsome equipages stood
in vv.-.lting outside of the white house at
11 o'clock this nioinlii- ' , . The line looked
like ngi cat in a } ofeav.iliyiiien , for on each
box of each cariiago sat a coachman mid
footman In llvci } , anil on the knee of each
coachman tested the handle of his
will ] ) , and thcccsof both coachman anil
footman looked only In flout. The ea-riasos
xveic those of the diplomatic roips , and Iho
variety ot llveiies and tiappiugs was almost
as gicat as ( lie-11111(01 ( ms woin h } the diplo

i and knows exaclli how to pass them on. Ho

thcro being tlio promise of n big conllagiatlon
in the heart of the business part of
tlio oil } . Tlie tire dcpiitment turned
out In force and eon urioundcd the build
ing with hose. The llamcs had stalled In the
packing department on the coiner of Lafav-
etto and Hru li , nnd eon enveloped the
whole building , whicli was a uieie slicll , hav
ing but ono solid wall inside of tlie ontci
walls. Hiavol } and Intelligeiitl } the liicmon
kept at woik , but all efforts seemed futile ,
the llamcs spioadlng lapldly until at onetime
time theie seemed a possibility that the
wholedistiict in which the binning building
IB situated was doomed. Hulldlngs on the
opposite stdo of Hiusli and Ciojrban stiects
caught a number of times , but tin * department
managed to keep the flames liom totally do-
.stioilng them.
Acioss the alley fiom D , M. Peiry & Co's

on Kaudolpli street , aio White's ( iniud the-
atieand Wesson block , and a srnallci bullel-
Ing used as a icslauraiit. The llamcs leaped
neio-is the alloy and began local into the
theater , riist tiio loof caught , and senm fell
in witli a lerr blc ci.ish , firing the whole in-
toiler of the building , alter dilv Ing away the
men who hael boon woiklng on the I'cuy
block thiough the windows ofthetlicalic.
The clashing of window glass was the signal
for incicased fuiy of tlio llamcs.
An immense ciowd flocked the streets In
eveiy direction , and at times wwe In the way
ol the dcpiitmcnt. H } 10 o'clock tlie Kony
block was a mass of llamcs , and the walls
had commonccel to fall , cieating something
of a pinic among the throng of spectatois ,
Numetous nanow escapes occuiicel among
the In onion , who woikcel close to the llamcs
wrapped in repeatedly soaked but lapidly
diing clothes.
H } 10,0 : Wldte's theatre had boon soi/cd
and by 11 the fnoimjii were compelled to tuin
thcii attention to saving the buildings on tlio
opposite sldo ot Randolph shoot , although
still keeping numcions streams of watei
playing on the binning building. At 11
o'clock the men ot No. a me company
lalscd a laddei In front of the theatre to got a

Idly advancing lite would prevent any eircct-

the luael b } bilcksand instantly killed , and
riiemaiiVhito was badly but not l.it.dly in-
juicel.
Soon aftei the flames spread to tlio Wesson
block on tlie coiner ol Randolph and Cio-
ghan stiects , anel that building was soon en
veloped in flames. Although flic build
ings acioss Cio lian stioet woio
tlncalencil and caught once or
twice , tlio department managed to
keep it within the scjuaio named , and by
12 o'clock it was undei contteil.
To-night the flames aie still raging lleicely ,
but arc confined within the walls ot the build
ings alicaely mentioned. Dining the woist
the wind had been liom the south , anel not a.
single building on tlio coinci of Lataetto
and Randolph streets was seriously injured ,
but all the lost of the squ.iro was a total loss.
The binned district belonged to what is
known as the Hiush estate , having boon
the site of the old homestead. I ) . M. Teny
< H Co. built their mammoth establishment six
icars ago. White's theatre was oiiglnally
built to accommodate thoPoninsul irb.ungei-
