DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN MEMPHIS
NINE BUSINESS HOUSES BURNED
FIVE PRINTING OFFICES DESTROY
ED—LOSS ESTIMATED AT $130,000.
A destructive fire occurred in Memphis
on Wednesday morning, 2d inst. We
learn the following particulars from tiie
Appeal and Bulletin..
The fire broke out in the mailing-room
of the Enquirer, which office has been
fired four times before within about a year,
and has been burned out twice before since
its existence. The Avalanche office,
which has been fired eight times within
the last few months. wa3 in the same
building. The jobbing establishment of
Hutton St Clarke, and the office of the
, Ledger were in the satnj block, and con
i nected with these offices were the offices
of the Christian Advocate and the Pres
byterian Sentinel, all of which were con
sumed by the flames. The three former
of these papers are dailies, the two latter
weeklies. Nearly forty printers are thin
thrown out of work. The flames spread
from one to the other of the closely pack
ed buildings almost without check. The
whole mass of buildings bounded by Main
and Union streets and by the two alleys
in the rear were quite destroyed, and
nearly the whole of the buildings, which
were of brick, were leveled with the
ground.
The streets were very deeply covered
with mud, making it difficult to move the
engines, and there are so few public cis
terns, even in this central and thickly
built up portion of the city, that the dar
ing and laborious efforts of the firemen
were of comparatively liitle avail.
At a moment when a generous young
gentleman, connected with the establish
ment of Hawkes, Smith & Co , was in
the upstairs room of Dr. Gray, endeavor
ing to save some of his property, the floor
upon which he stood gave way and fell
with him through the floor below into the
cellar, while the floor of the third story
came after the other two. The unfortu
• . r
naif )UUU” uiuu was in ouun: ui
the rafters, and lay bruised and burning.
The sight was a fearful one ; but awful as
was his situation, heroic men were found
to go to his help. We especially name
Mr. Johnson, Mr. Barbour, and Jno.
Toomey, the porter of Hawkes, Smith &
Co., who contrived, after a delay that
seemed an age. to rescue him. Toomey,
at the expense of burns and other serious
injuries to himself, sa.ved through the part
that held the sufferer confined. When
the latter was got free he was found to be
much bruised and burned, his foot badly
crushed, and bis hands literally cooked.
The attendant physician believes be
will recover. The porter Toomey is do
ing well.
As the fire performed its destructive work
the walls of the buildings fell in many
places, to the danger ot life, but no seri
ous accident occurred at the time, except
that a portion of the wall of Safiairans &
Stratton’s store fell upon the roof of Whit
ney’s livery stable, destroying a portion of
it, and also breaking down a part of the
stable wall. -As the horses had been ta
ken out, no serious result ensued, In the
afternoon of yesterday another portion oi
a wall'fell, and an Italian boy named
Nicholas Arrata was buried up to the mid
dle in the fallen ruins. lie was soon ex
tricated by the efforts of bystanders, when
lie was found to he much bruised and con
siderably burned, but bis injuries are not
dangerous. The escape, like that before
mentioned, was a narrow one. We omit
ted to say that, in the latter case, no soon
er had the young man been rescued from
his fearful situation than the neighboring
walls fell upon the spot where he had been
entrapped.
Below will be found a carefully prepar
ed statement of the several losses sus
tained by the sufferers. together with the
amount of insurance held by each and the
proportion of stocks and material saved.
