Tlio most disastrous lire that Iii3 ! oc- ourrod in Omaha for several yours broke out In the now Harker buildi ng , just injuring completion , at I ho corner of 1'iftuuntli and 1'arnum fitrccls nt 7'M : o'clock lust even Ing. At tlmt hour Mr. Frank Moores , the Wabashagont , who wan Hit ting In hh oflico just across the street , noticed n blazn in the second story of the building and hurried to his tolouhono to iiolify the fire department. At the same time , the ] > ittrol wagon was returning from : i call and the driver , 'icorgo Trim- bin , in parsing tin ) building nolieod thu blaze and sot up a cry of "lire , " whloli WIH heard al the central station by.Juilor .Sigwarl who promptly turned In an nlarin from box (5:5 ( : at Ihu corner of Slv- tccnth and I''arnam. Tin ; alarm from tlui box and Mr. Moore's telephone call reached the lire department at almost the mime instnnt. A general alarm was Hounded calling all of the hose companies to do sorvioo at the lire. Tills work oc cupied but a very few seconds but before the liremen could reach the scene the building was all abla/.c , th wood work of the interior burning like tinder , and sending ihunes high into the air. The. lire companies were on the ground in a few seconds. Chief ( Salligan was nt their head and reahx.ing the great danger of the situation made an iui- modialo arrangement bv which every incmbeV of the department could be Used to the best advantage. Lines of hose were laui from the hydrants at the cor ner of Sixteenth and JMirnnni , Fifteenth and Karnam , Fifteenth and ilarney , and Fifteenth ana Douglas , and in loss than llvo minutes after the lirst tap of the lite bell was soundedfour streams of water were playing on the Humes and a lifth was aimed later. The work of the liremen was apparently without oll'eot for some time. 'Ihe peculiar con struction of the buildings made it almost impossible to gel a stream of water upon the heart of the llames. The entire in terior of the structure was one net work of frame partitions newly built , which on account of the open condition of Hie roof and windows admittingair in abundance , liufiiiul like timler and spread the lire over the whole .structure. The liremen had no means of getting ac cess to tin1 llames. Kvory window and doorway was belching forth volume ? of lire and .smoke , making it necessary to do all of the lighting from the outside of the building. \VlT.NKS3l\T TIIK CO.NTI AOKATION. The llames increased in volume with startling rapidity , but they had no ad vantage in this lespecl over the crowds of people who witnessed them. The first tap of the bell was the signal for a grand rush to the teoiio of the conflagration. The streets at the time were lined with people. The clerks from the stores that observe early closing hours were just at liberty , hundreds ot theater-goers \vere heading for the opera house , and the great mass of people who throng the streets during the early evening were all on hand and crowded forward to the sccun of the lire. Five jit'mutcB after the 'alarm of lire Farnain street from Fourteenth to Sixteenth and Fifteenth from liouglas to Hnrney wore packed with .spectators to .such an ex tent that progress along the streets was accomplished , even by the liremen and iiolicumun. with the greatest ditlioulty. JSIen women and children crowded as near to the burning block as the heat of the llames would allow and contested for available places Irom which the work of destruction could bo observed to an ad vantage. The Merchants' ' hotel the Wabash - bash ticket olVice and other window posi tions of observation were especially sought for , while 911 the outside venture- Homo boys even climbed upon telegraph poles to watch the progress of the llames. The crowd was an unusually orderly one , most of the people standing with bated breath anil open mouths , only speaking when the thiealenud falling of a wall or some especially .startling incident ualled out a cry or remark. They stood silent and speechless , and ga/eil , as many of t'lem ' had eight years before ga/ed upon the spectacle pre sented by the burning of the Grand Cen tral hotel. To the latter , that memorable catastrophe was present in mind in all its frigl.tfiihio. s. Then , it was a building towering high above everything else around , with liames leaning toward the heavens with demoniacal tury , and far beyond the power of a few impatient mortals with miserable apparatus to con trol. Last night il wasabuildingequally high , incapable of being readied with water save from the si roams , but yet being slowly consumed with llames which seemed fanned with the blast of hell. The comparison , too. might be extended , whnn th'3 danger in which the lire- men worked was considered. The llurce < ncs.s of tlui llames on the ground lloor had estopped thorn from venturing beyond the lower entrances , and consequently the memorable loss of life which signalized the former horror , could not have taken place within the seet'iing ' furnace lint , il might have come with toppling walls , which at any moment might sway from their perpendicular , so lone and anchor- leas they scorned , and descending to the earth bury beneath thorn the gallant follows - lows wh > were engaged in the unequal fight. The spectacle presented by the lire with the building was nun to bo remembured. The Interior was lilled with combustible material , Tills tin * llames enshrouded with a volume and embraced with a llorcunosn almost Ixiyond comprehension. The food they led upon wfts concealed from view , and tlio marvel was how so robust monsters could survlvo iipon hidden support. They darted neither to the right or left , but straightway shot to the heavens , in pyramids and fantastic shapes which rose high above the lateil structure. From the \anous openings on both sides tlui water poured in ton-outs , hut it hail seiireoly passed thn tmtraees , before it dissolved m mist. With it , as with thu burning material , the llainos sported , and by degrees charred Ir.igmimUi ot in terior supports , full in almost regular order to the roaring furnace bom-nth. Out ! by one thu day windows on thn front and sides , succumbed. Finnlly the llames enclosed thu pagoda-liko 'orna ment which stood on the summit ot the corner , and il too , like a Mowing lulloon , doscoiidod to the ground , AT Ihesu ml'iglod with ruin , the crowd , with up turned faces , recogni/eil the los > , and greeted each with a long exclamation of mingled regret and fear , which was not removed or allayed until it was found tnat the descent bad been unattended with loss either of lifo or limb. Shortly after thu commencement of thu Hi o , a section of thu east fanadu to which was attached a section of the copper cornice , fol | witli a mUllled yet deadly sound. A fo\-.minutes ) later , thorn was dull grating f-nuiid , and'blo to everybody , With , every facility , alive , and apprehension must acute , thu crowd heaved a sigh , knowing that a wall had slaitiul to the . ourtli. And so it had. .TJiu west wall .toppled wltlt destructive force upon thq JJj-.vls building , cnish.jijf in ' the root and utterly destroying" the first story of the structure. Four minutes , later another section ot the wall fell , and soon after , the superincumbent weight of rubbish into which the Davis building had been transformed , icllovod Hsolf by fa'lllngupon nnd leaving nothing but thu front wall of Ames' real estate Ollico standing. The people were then put be hind a line and kept beyond thu reach of danger. The llamcs. meanwhile , continued re lentless in their fury , anil though not visible from a distance , yet sent millions of souvenirs In plow ing spark * into the heavens. Thu ell'ect of these , from a dis tance was entrancing. Thny circled hither and thither In llio higher currents , now forming a veil of most delicate tex ture decked with glistening gems , and again massing in countless thousands of tiny gloiiuies. until the ell'ect wa ? that of a morniug mis ! , lipped with the golden elitilgijiico of the orb of day. Thousands of people from a distance ga/.od upon this scene with rapture and tlio pleasure was destroyed only by the knowledge that thu entraneinir spectacle was pro duced by the destruction of property which had originally been intended tor other purposes. ruin tfcit.su OTIIIU : utm.mxns. Thn bent from the burning block was intense and soon began to all'eet the ad jacent buildings. After the lire had been in progress about lifted ! fninuloH nnd was al its height , thu awnings on the west side of the Paxton buildlm ; caught lire making it necessary to take one stream from the main lire to protect this block. The windows of the club room , Ihe Orchard store and the olllces tore cracked by the heat and the interior of the rooms more or less damaged by the water used In protecting the building. For a fmv minutes it seemed that thn building would certainly bo destroyed , and this would doubtless have been the case had the high wind of Thursday night pre vailed When the danger was most im minent thu work of removing the Orchard stock was commenced. By the utl'cctive work of the compiJi } detailed to protect this building the danger was averted , though not until considerable damage had been done. Thereof roof of the frame building occupied by Drexel A : Maul was cov ered several times by showers of sparks and required constant watching. A lire wall prevented the llamei. spreading to the old Barker block on the south of the now building. Thu glass in thu Wabash ticket ollicu windows was cracked by the heat. A stream of water was kept play ing upon the llames from the root of the Kcdick block which was saved from the danger by this protection. TilK 1.03d ANM ) IXSUItANCH. The total loss to the Barker ouildmg and the other structures near the lire will ciosidx approximate SV5.000. Mr. Joseph Barker says that he lias put into the building already $10,00 ! ) . The lessen on thatslrucluri ! will bo complete. Then the damage to the building immediatnly south of the new structure isconsider.iblu. The three story Davis building , ju.st west , cot $10,000 and was damaged to the ex tent of about half .that amount. Mr. O. F. Davis stated to a reporter last night that his loss would probably be tully re covered , as ho has $5iH)0 ) insurance. Architect B. A. Fowler , who oeeunies thu third btoiy , lost about $1,500 worth of in struments , turniturc and miscellaneous property , lie has ? -150 worth of insurance. lie states that his loss cannot bo meas ured by figures , as ho has lost all his plans. Dr. Ay res occupies with l r. Moures offices on the second story. He lost about sJS'Ji ' ) worth ol in struments , hooks and lurniluro. His insurance will cover about one-naif of this amount. Dr. Moore was fortunate enough to rescue a valuable case of in struments. The other occup.inls of the building were , for the most part , lawyers , who lost considerably. Among lho.su were Messrs. Hallur and Keller , both of whom lost their libraries. Tlio one-story Ames building , which was crushed in by the falling walls of the Barker building , was damaged to the extent of about iJ-SOO. This is but p.irtull.\ covered by insurance. C. U M.iyno , who has Ids olliee on the first lloor ol the new building , lost about ? oIO ( worth of turniturc and fixtures Most of the ollie.o books and papers fortunately were in Ids three safes. Several clerks were in thu olliee at the time tne lire started and before they left , they took the precaution to lock up thu books and valuable docu ments Air. Mayno has no insurance. The insurance on the new building and the old three-story structure touth ( known as the Barker block ) was placed in the following companies : yKtna S P,000 lliiittnrd.ofllnitfoid 5,000 Washington -l.00 < ) North Uiitliih -1,000 Oneon -l.Oiiil Fire Insurance Association -1,000 American 4,000 Trans-Atlantic 1,000 Miscellaneous 5,000 Total 801,000 1'art of this wns placed with Murphy & Lovett , anil part of it Witn II. It. King- wait. Thu insurance on the building , which was being erected , was-M,000. As already mentioned , the loss was over $ 10,000 on thin structure , so that the in surance will cover only one third of the damage. Nearly all the panes in thu west side of the Pa.xloji building were broken , and the loss in this way will be at thu luasl calculation $1,000. This dons not in clude the loss to the club rooms , winch is about sfltOO , which i covered bj $3000 insurance In \Villiamsburg , and Ucrman-Amurinaii companies of Pennsylvania. In addition to these losess Friiehauf's bookstore on thu first lloor of thu old Barker block was slightly damaged by water. Loss probably not over $300 or $1,000. An old insurance man who was on the ground last night and took In the situa tion pretty thoroughly , mndii tlui follow- in' ' estimate of tne loss including damage to buildings , furniture and property of every description : Xew Diukcr Inilldini ; 8-10,000 Old flaikur block ,000 0.

The ( laino * were lirot noticed in the central part of thu second story of tlio. now portion of thu block , and spread almost in-slantly through thu building. Mr. Barker is of the opinion that somu one of the workmen , on leaving thu build ing at (1 ( o'clock dropped : i cigar stub in the shavings. Then thuru U a possibility that j-onm umbers of a lire used by thu tinners or cornicu workers might liavo caused thoconllairation. There appears to bo no reason for a belief that tlio lire was thu work of an incendiary. Tin : 1'iiti : our. At 8 o'clock the lirmncn had gained uomo control over thu Humes ; nt much so that thuru was no further danger of tlio lint connectingvith the other buildings. The work after that lime was principally that of allowing the Interior ot the liar- ker block In bo consumed. At il o'clock llm ruins wcr black but still smocking , and uiio comivanv stood guard over thorn until nearly daylight , to bu on hand in case of another break out. KOTKS AND 1NCIDKNTS.

Spcuht expects to lose about ? fl,000 on thn coriiicn work of the de- sjroyed building. The olh'ees on the top lloor of the Pav ton building sustained no damage beyond a slight wetting. For the first iimn hi a number of years in thu uity , the old-style annoyance , a hose burst , was twice experienced. The Hro last liiglil was the most do- Mruetlvo since the memorable distillery and packing house conllagrations. The telephone wires wepi ! greatly In the way of the liremeni and a number of them had to bu cut in the rush of thu mo ment. Last night thu lire had not buen sub dued before the telephone and telegraph companies undertook to repair their lines , i A number of thu bachelor occupants of Hedlck's block .skipped out with all their movables , and lelt their furniluru behind them. Thu uielnbers Of Salslmry company in all their paint , powder and costiimei'y , watched the Ihu from thu stage windows on the west siiht.of the opera house. The policu did ( ' .H'eelivu work in Kenii- Ing back the crowds. Unfortunately ropes were not'strelched until the. very last momunt , whiMi thu lire was mmrly over. Thu telephone conipany had intended to occupy thu top story of the Barker building about .January 1 , but of course will now bo compelled to modify Its plans. The running of street cars past the corner of Fif month and Farnam was sus pended during thu progress of the lire on account of thu dense onn.'ds which thronged the vicinity. The foundation for the Barker building was laid last winter , and active opera tions nave confined since spring. The .structure would Imvaliaon readv for oc cupancy about January 1st. Kvery ono agreus that the structure w\s : all abla/.o in an insl-.nt. One insur ance man says that ho believes that the lire was the work of an incendiary , who must have used coal oil to accomplish his purpose. The electric light and telephone wires in the vicinity ot Fifteenth and Farnam were badly damaged. Tins electric lamps on the circuit in that vicinity were cut out , by order of the. malingers of the com pany. Many of thu tulephonu circuits were broken. Sparks by the thousands dropped upon Drexel A : Maul's and tiiougn the linn and employes used their buckets , the house would have been destroyed if the hose from thu Paxton hotel had not been used with excellent cflcGt upon it and all thu inlervuniiiti buildings , Fire Chief ( Salligan deserves the greatest praise Jor tlio manner in which lie directed his men. But for his level headed and rapid > vork the surrounding bnildinirs would undoubtedly have taken ' lire. Alloftlioirumc.n ! , in 'fact , worked like beavers , and on more than one oc casion risked their lives in trying to stay the progress of I lie flames. " 1 never saw a building lire up more rapidly in my life , " said Fire Chief Gal- ligan to a reporter aftur the worst was over. "Thu companies got here within two minutes alter the alarm was turned in , but we found that the whole building vas ono big ma s -llama from the top story to tiiu basement. Against such a terrific head way it was impossible to save the building. ' . ' * Charles Styom , a waiter in the Omaha club room * , wa * passing byitho Paxton building duriug.tliu lire , when hu was struck by a heavy roll of carpet thrown out ot Orchard's store rooms in the second end story. He was knocked senseless to the sidewalk , and sustained a broken leg and severe internal injuries , lie was re moved to Cheney Ar Olson's drug store. where his wounds wore attended to by Dr. Keogh. Ho wa then talced to his homo where , at an early hour this morn ing bis death is reported to have occurred. When the ( ire brpke out ( ieor.au Can- Hold rushed to Orchard' ; , store , anil in the absence of that gentleman impelled the hitter's clcrki to clear his windows of the costly carpets , curtains and portieres which were thcrd displayed , lie knew that the heat would soon break the plate glass and thus enable the" flames to ex tend to the interior , lie did the same thing in the upper story and while stand ing at the window thu pane shot upward and narrowly escaped injuring him. Table was spread for supper in the Omaha club rooms , and a number of gue.sts had assembled to partake of their evening meal. Ono of the streams from thu hosu shot through the. window and swept every dish from the table to the lloor. Ktl. Peek escaped one of the nur.st- ing windows by a narrow margin. The carpet in thn music and leading rooms was badly wet , and that in the former was removed The latter will bo cared for to-day.

The man at Iho desk will ask you who sent it , providing you arc a stranger to him , and when you have replied that the sender was John Smith , your brotlmr-in law and n good follow fioncral- ly , and that you linvo been expecting llio orner for two days , and tlmt the folk.s around the holol can no longer look upon you without suspicion , ho will hand it over without a doubt that you arc the person for whom il was intended. It's a nice , easy way , you see , and the bunk tellers mid express audits arc awfully put out because they can no longer biiiu" strapped strangers.
