About eleven o'clock
an unusual column o
noticed over the ' west wa arising
from ono of the chimneys when son
thereafter the cry of "fire" was heated
all over the neighborhood. The firci
department did not respond as
promptly as it might have donci
something more than fifteen minutetA
having olapsed before the fire engine
bad arrived. This was stationed on
0th street between r. and G. streets,
and about 12 o'clock the first stream
ot water commenced its play. Tb
fire originated in the attio that rv
just uudur the root along ninth st'
front which has boon used as
room for something near 35,00l
jocted models, and some thirty draw
ings and specifications. Tbe flames
were carried with tbe greatest rapid
ity all along the whole side of the
building, and at about 12:15 tbe en
tire roof over the west ball fell with a
most tremendous crash. At this time
the fire had its own way in . the mod
si room where It spradi-.with the
greatest rapidity. Columns of fire
arose and threatened all buildings in
the neighborhood with immediate
destruction. The large and sxten
sive offices of touis Uagger & Co.,

Agencies in the clly of Washington,
located right opposite the Patent Of

BaUimoro firo department responded
at once and tho. first engine arrived
soon after oue o'clock, having made
the run from Baltimore to Washing

Shortly after 1 o'clock a
detach
ment of U.S. Marines of about 100
men were placed at various points in
and 'out of the building, to guard the
povernment property. I he model
room, or the upper part of tho build,
incr contained perhaps tho finest col
lection 0t models iu tho world, which
it is imrossible to replace, as many ot
them date back to the early days of
the Patent Oflioo. There was aUo on
this flo&r largo numbers of maps and
valuable drawings. These all being
in wooden cscs, the fire spread rap-
id v from ono to mo outer. Aim
floors of the building are on brick
archi'S and consequently tho lower
lint of the building waa.o reache
v tbe fire, but the water played sad
havoc with the books and papers be

' ' ' TIIK OU1GIN Ot THK FIRE.'
.Many reports as to tho origin ot
the firo were circulated. The one
that was generally credited at first
was that the firo started iu the Green
House, on the top of tho roof, by tho
rays,, of tM buu coming through tho
lasS rofjf which made a focus aud
4griited some cotton which was placed
around a valuable plant.' Another
theory more generally accepted, that
the fluo for heating the Green-House
communicated , tho firo. Tho most
plausible explanation was, howsyer,
given to your co-respondent by Mr.
W:lson who was at the timo the fire
V first 'noticed, employed lu storip

tho country lonifies it, and no man
confides iu it.-- Not content with this
desecration, the thon President, Ulys
ses S. Graut, by an act, than which
neither Cromwell nor JSapoleon ever
perpetrated one more atrocious, sur
rounded tho representatives of tho
people, while silling in tho discharge
of ;lholr duty, with cannon, and by
terror compelled them and thoir
