Fire in San Francisco, December 10

Just before 1 o'clock to-day a fire broke out in D. Lundy's furniture store, No. 811, Market street, a little below and opposite the Baldwin Hotel. The adjoining lots were built up with one-store frames, and in a few minutes four of them were in flames, and were consumed with their contents. The buildings belong to the Lick estate, and the occupants, besides Lundy, were Clarence Healy, restaurant; John N. Saftstean, furrier; Wm. Blunt, taxidermist; John Q. Garfield, M. O'Shea, books and stationery: A Koch, crockery, Gordon, Tailor, Knight and Jonston photographers, and Madam Scotter, hair-dealer.
