Danger That They Might Spread and
Eat Up Other Buildings.
St. Augustine, Fla., Nov. 17. St.
Augustine has again been visited by a con
flagration that in money value will far ex
ceed that of the fire that destroyed the St.
Augustine cathedral and other valuable
property. It broke out at 7:30 o’clock to
night in the furnace room of the main saw
mill of the East Florida Land
and Produce Company, and spread rapidly
among tho shavings that wore automati
cally fed to the furnace. The watchman
was unable to stop the spread with a water
bucket, it being the only means left to him.
The entire plant, excent the animals and
office furniture, was destroyed.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT POWERLESS.
Tho fire department is powerless, owing
to the distanoeof the hydrants from the
fire, and lumber estimated at 1.000. 1 00 feet
is vanishing with railroad speed. Nothing
but a change of wind to the west will pre
vent the destruction of tho homes of tho 300
employes. Joseph Walton, who represents
the London parties in New York, and
Kemp Welch, one of tho English directors,
is on the ground, but is unable to give any
definite estimate of the loss. There is no
insurance in American companies. It is
supposed that London companies carry
policies. The plant is estimated as worth
*30,000, and the manufactured lumbsr at
about $300,000.
The company owns many thousand acres
of land along the east coast of Florida,
runs its own railroad to get out its own
timber, and is recognized as the richest and
mo6t profitable corporation of the kind m
Florida. Tneir shipments of lumber to
eastern markets and Europe amount to
10,000,000 feet yearly, and it can safelv be
said that several acres of lumber and other
property is burning, with not 4 per cent,
of the loss covered by insurance. The fire
is spreading, despite the efforts of the fire
men and citizens, who may confine the
flames to the neighborhood of the lumber
yards.
Several hundred employes are thrown
out of work, and the loss to the city is most
disastrous. New York and Ohio, besides
London parties, are concerned In the loss.

Succumb Under the Shrinkage in
Values.
New York, Nov. 17.—Randall &Wierum,
brokers, announced their suspension on the
, stock exchange this morning. The failure
| had no effect on the market. Mr. Handall
I is lying critically ill at his home. Mr.
vVierum states that the engagements of the
firm are very small, and that he expects that
an early adjustment of the affairs of the
firm will be made.
The failure is said by friends of the firm
to tie due mainly to Mr. Randall’s physical
inability to be upon the floor of the ex
change this morning Much sympathy was
expressed, and offers of assistance were
numerous, but they came too late to avert
the misfortune. It is understood that ar
rangements have been perfected to re
establish the house in business at an early
date.
At 11:30 o’clock Gregory, Ballou & Cos.,
brokers, of No. 1 New street, announced
their suspension on the stock exchange.
Mr. Gregory says the cause of the sus
pension was the shrinkage in stocks, and
he believes their embarrassment to be tem
porary only. Other members of the firm
concur in this statement.

The asignraent of Mills, Robeson &
Smith, which was brought about by the
forgeries of the junior partner, were for
mally filed in the county clerk's office to
day. The firm assigned to William A. Wat
son, with preference* to Edward J. Sandford
for $15,000, and to James Fay for SI,OOO.
Albert H. Smith, the guilty member of the
firm, was arraigned in the police court this
morning and remanded until to-morrow.
The remarkable frauds perpetrated by
Broker Smith were the talk of the street to
day. The creditors of the firm, ruined by
his speculations, will hold a meeting to
morrow afternoon, and at that time a
statement of the firm’s liabilities aDd as
sets will be presented.
THE FIRM’B debts and assets.
The firm of lawyers representing the
wrecked firm said to-day that the figures
approximating the liabilities of the firm
were:
Liabilities—Due on loans on which stocks
and bonds bad been issued as collateral,
$500,000; due depositors, #100,000; total,
$600,000.
Assets—Stocks and bonds pledged, $330,-
000; other property, about $35,000; total,
$365,000.
Smith’s forgeries have amounted to about
$340,000 and his private loans to about
$140,000. His assets are SSO,OOO. A par
tial schedule of Smith’s forgeries show that
the actual value of the securities pledged is
in most cases 10 or 12 per cent, of the
amount loaned upon them. For example a
loan of $25,000 "asobtained upon securities,
worth $2,800, and for loans aggregating
$147,400 the securities pledged are actually
worth only $16,.500, the certificates having

NEW YORK'S CLOSED BANK.
The Efforts for an Adjustment Result
In a Failure.
New York, Nov. 17.—Whon the North
River bank csso came up before Judge
O’Brien to-day on a motion for a receiver,
it was stated that negotiations were still
pending to re-open the bauk, and an ad -
journment was asked for until to-morrow.’
The attorney general and Bank Suiferin -
tendent Preston were represented by Mr-
Post, who stated that the assets of th<-
bank were in tho hands of the authorities,
and no harm could result from an adjourn
ment. He thought the prospects of success
were excellent. An adjournment was
granted.
UNABLE TO RESUME.
New York, Nov. 17, 7p. m.—Late this
afternoon the state superintendent of bank
ing, Mr. Preston, said it had been definitely
decided that the bank would not resume.
The directors were unable to secure the re
quired funds. It was pretty well under
stood that the result was made necessary
because of the stand taken by two of the
Wall street banks, which insisted that un
less actual cash to the amount of the depos
its in the bank w as in possession of the bank
to meet these deposits the bank- should
not bo allowed to clear through the clear
ing house. Supt. Preston said that from a
closer examination of tho collaterals held
by’ the bank as security for loans, he had
found that there would oe a shrinkage in
their actual value. This, he believed, would
make a nominal deficiency of about
3100,000.

EWART ON Ilia DEFEAT.
He Points Cut That He had Predicted
tbe Republican Disaster.
Washington, Nov. 17.—Congressman
Ewart, ono of the republican members of
the House from North Carolina, is in the
city. He predicted, iu his speech in opposi
tion to tho foroe bill, that if that meas
ure were pressed the republicans would not
have a corporal guard of congressmen from
from the south, and he calls attention to the
fact that be was right. Mr. Ewart also has
the manliness to admit that the election
was perfectly fair in his district, even
though he was defeated. He says the tariff
and force bills hurt the republicans in his
state.

SCAMPERING SIOUX.
Enoush Redskins Already Wandering
Around to Wipe Out the Settlers.
Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 17.—A spe
cial to the Journal from Man dan, N. D.,
says: “Supt. Green, at Riverside ranch,
whose ranch is between Mandan and the
Sioux reservation, came in this morniDg,
being alarmed at the behavior and sullen
ness <vf the Indians, who are coming north
well armed and acting in an unfriendly
; manner. To-day a number of Indians,
armed with two guns each and
plenty of ammunition, passed
through this tswn, presumably en route to
stir up the Indians on the reservations
north. The people are coming in from the
south, and begging the citizens to stir the
authorities at Washington to action.
Enough Indians are now traveling about
this section to run off all the cattle and kill
half the settlers in the country.”
“An Indian brings warning from the
Sioux reservation. He says there is the
greatest danger here, ami that the Indians
propose to attack Fort Abraham Lincoln,
knowing that there are but 50 soldiers
there. Then they propose to capture Man
dan and massacre the citizens and burn the
town. The greatest alarm prevails among
the people here. It is reported that the In
dian police at Standing Bock have torn off
their badges a:id revolted.”
CORBIN NOT ALARMED.
Chicago, Nov. 17.—Gen. Miles, accom
panied by Asst. Adjt. Gen. Corbin, returned
from St. Louts this morning. Gen. Miles
was in consultation with Secretary of War
Proctor about tne alleged Indian outbreak
in the northwest. “We are disposed to re
gard the reporig as greatly exaggerated,”
said Col. Corbin, “and the Secretary of
War appears to be of the same mind.
There is no doubt if the Indians were to de
cide on an outbreak they could do much
harm. They have an abundance of rifle*
and amunition, and plenty of horses and
large supplies of meat. In fact, they are in
good condition to go to war, hut winter is
coming on, and I hardly think there is im
mediate danger.
ALARM OF THE SETTLERS.
“The stories of the evacuation of the set
tlers in North Dakota are overdrawn. A
few weak and fearful residents, fearing the
vengeance of the red skins, may have left
their homes to await the outcome of the
difficulty, but the rumor that there has been
wholesale evacuation is absolutely witbout
foundation. We have made a careful esti
mate of the number afflicted by the messiah
craze.and there are in all not to exceed 31,000
Indians. Of this number perhaps one
fifth are able-bodied warriors, and one
half of the whole number, or at least
15/100, could not benr arms. Such a body
of Indians could do much harm if their
movements were not properly arrested, but
we have taken moasures to intercept any
outbreak. Gen. Ruger was ordered to the
feene from St. Paul three days ago, and is
in easy communication with reinforce
ments. The Indians will not fight because
they are hungry, fortney are well supplied
by the government. If they go to war it
will be on account of the strange supersti
tiou that now possesses them."
GEN. RUGER ON THE WAY.
St. Paul, Nov. 17.—A special to the
Pioneer-Press from Huron, S. D., says:
“Gen. Ruger, commander of the depart
ment of Dakota, U. S. A., and Lieut.
Woodruff, arrived on their way to St.
Paul from the visit to Forts Sully, Randall
aud Bennett. They report having found
the Indians very quiet, and although
there is much interest regarding the
coming of the messiah, there is no
occasion for alarm. Gen. Ruger, speaking
of the reports from the Pine Ridge agency,
remarked that while he was in possession of
no informa iou of an official character re
garding affairs there, ho has no doubt but
there existed some excitement among tbe
Sioux at that place. “The late dances,” he
said, “in which the Indians ha. vo been allow
ed to engage have increased tho excitement
and prompted the agent to advise the de
partment at Washington of the fact. There
seems to be taore uneasiness at Pine Ridge
than at any of the other agencies, but I
have no doubt that it will be of short dura
tion.” Both officers loft for St. Paul to
night.
THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY TERRORIZED.
Minneapolis, Nov. 17.— The Tribune's
Mandan (N. D.) special says: “Letters from
every direction come in reporting insults
received from depredatory Indians armed
to the teeth, who make circles around the
tops of their heads. The citizens of Man
dan have practically no arms and
are helpless. During the day tho
entire community was terrorized. They
have been looking for aid to the govern
ment, expecting tho Indians to come upon
them every hour, and no heip or sign of
help comes. To-night two Indians went
into a hardware store and called for ammu
nition. The storekeeper asked what they
wanted it for, and they said to shoot white
men, and they drew imaginary scalping
knives around their heads.
boasting of their intentions.
A settler named Ardrom comes from ten
miles out of town, and states that six
Indians camped near his place this morn
ing. He told thorn to be careful of fire.
They told him to mind his own business,
and ominously tapped their guns, showed
their ammunition and encircled their
heads. The same camp were in
town this afternoon,and they told a friendly
Sioux wbo lives here that they belonged to
the army of the Messiah, and were going
down to tho reservation to meat the balance
of the army’, and thon they were coming
back to take Fort. Lincoln, aud then to
burn and pillage Mandan and kill the in
habitants. They said the Messiah would
lead tho army, and they do not expect to go
out till spring, but when the Messiah says
so they will go even in the depta of winter.
They said they believe they are the chosen
people of tha Messiah, the whites are in
truders, and the entire country west of the
Missouri river to the coast belongs to them
and the buffalo, and when tbe e bites are
killed they will own it all.
INSOLENT AND MOROSE.
“These and all othor Indians traveling
through tho country are armed in an ex
traordinary’ way’ aud loaded do va with am
munition, but of late they have become inso
soleut, morose and sullen. They will notshow
the passes they are supposed to havo from
the Irdian agency. Nothing but the imme
diate appearance of troops will prevent an
uprising is the judgment of the Indian
soldiers. The utmost tension prevails here,
as it is almost impossible to hoar from
Standing llock of the situation there, or
from the east to learn what is being done
ab ut the movement of troops. .Half the
population beliovo that troops will
come when the people have all beau
scalped aud killed. A number
of children left on to-night’s train for Bis
marck aud other points oast of the Missouri.
Supt. Melleu of the Northern Pacific has
been telegraphed by the citizens, asking him
to do all bo can to get the military depart
ment to take immediate action. To-night
a rumor comes from Standing
Rock to Bismarck to the effect
that a large band of warriors
have left Standing Rock for the Northern
Pacific. It is impossible to get a confirma
tion or denial of tho rumor. Efforts have
been made to telegraph Maj. McLauroa at
Yates City. Messages havo been delivered
to him, biit not reply can be had.”

county, was knocked down and killed by a
train on the Charleston and Savannah road
this morning. He was walking on the

and broke his neck. His body was not oth
erwise injured.
The funeral of William Bernemann, who
mysteriously disappeared on Friday last,
took place to-day. The members of the
cotton exchange and chamber t f commerce
attended tbe services. He undoubtedly
committed suicide. His body was found
up in a marsh.
F. von Santen & Son, a prominent King
street firm, were closed to-day. Their
liabilities are $12,000.
A private meeting was held to-night by
prominent politicians, at which steps were

Asa result of Gov. Tillman’s visit here,
an effort will be made to get a primary elec
tion ordered for appointive officers. It is
doubtful whether it will succeed. The ap
pointments, it is said, will probably bs made
under the old system—that is, upon recom
mendation of the Charleston delegation to
tbe legislature.
