About three o'clock last Monday morning an alarm by cries of fire from the window at the Clarendon hotel was g ven, which cries were taken up by persons on the street. Owing to a slight breeze the flames made great headway among the old wooden build ings before the fire depar ment arrived. On the corner of E. and First street was a wooden building in process of erection, which was saved from the Harass. The ruins of the old Eagle hotel, which burned some 'months ago, were also untouched The rest of the block was destroyed. Then were five saloons, a restaurant, a lodging house, and two cigar and fruit stores in the burned buildings, which were owned by D. F. Harrington, Capt. W. J. Buchanan and Woodard 4 Smith. The fire is supposed to have originated in the kitchen of the restaurant, 89 North First street, aud goon communicated through the floors to the bulging house above, kept by Mrs. Ellen O'Neill. She was awakened by the heat about the saine time the alarm was given, and aroused her lodgers just in time for all to escape with their lives, without, however, being able to save any property. Many were unable even to save their outside clothing. John O'Brien, a ship rigger, narrowly escaped being burned to death. He was badly blistered and his hair aud whiskers singed off So dry were the buildings and so much inflamabie material were contained in them that it took a long time to subdue the flames.
