Wil- MR. BLAINE IN LONDON. Suffering From a Cold, but Looking: Well antt in Good Spirits. Loxdox, June 6. Mr.

and Mrs. Blaine aud their two daughters and Miss Dodge arrived on Saturday evening in London. There departure from Paris had been postponed, owing partly to engagements and partly to a severe cold which Mr. Blaine had caught, and which made trav elling imprudent. They are at the Hotel Metropole, one of the biggest in London, where after 20 minutes, waiting anxious inquirers may sometimes find out whether Mr.

Blaine is in. Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie are staying at the same hotel, and the whole party start ou Thursday morning on that already famous coaching teur to Scotland. Their road lies through the eastern counties of England, and all or nearly all the eastern Cathedral towns will be visited, including Peterborough, Ely, Lincoln, York and Durham.

Their destination is Cluny Castle, belonging to Mr. McPherson, of Cluny, in the Speyside country, with some eleven thousand acre about it, but no deer forest. Thirty days arc allowed for the journey. There will be no travelling on Sundays, of course. Mr.

Blaine and his family will pass about a fortnight at Carnegie Castle, as for the summer Cluny is likely to be called. They will return to London by rail, arrive here about the 15th of July, and sail on July 19 from Southampton for New York on the Nord Dentscher steamer Trave.

The most disastrous conflagration in the history of this city occurred today, causing a loss of about 100,000, of which only about three-fifths was covered by insurance. The fire was first discovered at about 8 o'clock this morning in the dry-house of Taft Morgan's door, sash and blind factory, at the foot of College street. From this the Are extended to the factory, filled with lumber in various stages of manufacture, and including 845,000 worth of prepared lumber ready for shipment. This was almost instantly wrapped in flames, throughout its four stories. The wind blew hard from the South, and the lire at once leaped College street to the office of G.

L. Linslcy and the Baldwin Manufacturing Co. and the extensive retail lumber sheds of the Shepard Morse which were soon a mass of flames. AVest of Taft Morgan's factory is the great Shepard Morse planing mill, one of the largest in the country. The fire burned about half of the roof but by the vigorous efforts of the firemen, with the assistance of the AViuooski steamer, and the sprinklers in the building, the machinery and contents of the mill were saved aud the walls and a large portion of the roof are intact.

South of Taft Morgan's dry-goods house the fire extended to their storehouses along Battery street, and thence to the tenement house owned by Miss Maggie Denning, to an old house owned by Mrs. Catherine Mi-chaud of Brandon, on the comer of Main and Battery streets, and to the small wooden house of Mrs. James Beatty, which it gutted and completely destroyed. The brick house of Michael Brown on Main street, west of the Beatty house, took Are, but was saved, somewhat damaged. North of College street the fire extended from the lumber sheds to the small brick house on Battery street, owned by Mrs.

Francis McKeough, which was burned; and the adjoining unoccupied brick building owned by Catherine Kirby took fire, but was saved. Under the hill, the Are extended in the lumber sheds to Bank street, and was then by hard work and good fortune cheeked. At 9 :30 the fire was under control, having entirely destroyed the Taft Morgan mill, with its dry house and store houses, damaged the Shepard Morse mill, destroyed the Shepard Morse retail lumber sheds, burned the offices of the Baldwin Manufacturing Co. and the coal office of G. L.

Linsley, and destroyed five small tenements of small value. The fire department was taxed to its utmost and did splendid work. At one time, however, it seemed almost helpless to cope with the fast spreading flames and pail brigades were accordingly organized among the spectators, and the roofs of most of the houses were kept wet until several lines of hose could be spared to go to their assistance. At one time it looked as if the Central Vermont passenger station would take lire, aud the passenger cars were run down the track for a considerable distance. The rapidity with which the flames spread to adjoining buildings may be judged from the fact that Mr.

Wright, who has charge of G. L. Linsley's oflice, and who went in to arrange the safe, was obliged to escape from one of the windows. The clerks in the Baldwin Manufacturing office also had to fly in haste, with three or four of the books, which they snached from the desk as they ran. Mr.

Joel Linsley went into the oflice to get some papers and attempted to unlock one of the safes; but before he could do so he found himself surrounded by flames, and was put to the alternative of jumping through a window at the risk of personal injury or of rushing through flames if he made his exit by the door. He chose the latter alternative and left the safes aud papers untouched. It is difficult yet to state the losses posi tively but the severest sufferers by the fire are the Taft Brothers, whose thriving industry is wholly destroyed. Their loss is estimated at about 825,000. They had 819,000 insurance.

The four-story brick building occupied by them was owned by the Shepard Morse and was valued at 30,000. It was partially insured. The damage to the Shepard Morse planing miU was confined to the roof and is amply covered by insurance. The destruction of their lumber sheds and the 1,250,000 feet of lumber within the retail department will carry the loss of the Shepard Morse to over 860,000. They were insured in Boston to an amount sufficient to cover their loss with the exception of the sash and door factorv, on which thev mav lose from 812,000 The" Baldwin Manufacturing Co.

estimates the loss on the oflice at 81500 and on furniture and stock at 81000, covered by insurance. Taft Morgan were at work upon export orders, having in hand fully 84000 worth of work. In their mail this morning was another foreign order calling for a large amount of goods. The business was in a highly prosperous condition, giving employment to over SO hands, who were working over-time. None of their books, papers or effects, with the exception of those in the safe, or furniture was saved, Mr.

Taft having barely time to close the doors aud lock the safe. The other losses are as follows Henry J. Kirby, brick house, gutted, 81000; Frank McKcough's estate, brick house, $1000; James Lang, brick building, roof damaged, insured; Mrs. Jas Beatty, tenement house, totally destroyed, 81000 insured Mrs. Catharine Michaud, tenement house, totally destroyed, S1000, no insurance; Mrs.

Margaret Denning, tenement house, totally destroyed, 81200, insured 8400. These houses were all occupied, with the exception of the Kirby house. All the tenauts saved their household effects with but trifling losses. The other lumber companies have offered the Shepard Morse Co. a part of their mills for use aud business will not be interrupted.
