The following official statement by the Jacksonville Relief Association wa issued at 10:30 o’clock Monday night: “To the People of the United State* —The relief committee having receiv ed many inquiries concerning the situ tion here desires to make the follow ing general statement: “Thecityof Jacksonville on Friday, May 3d, was visited by one of the most appalling calamities that has ever hap pened in any community in modern times. About noon of that day a fire was discovered in a small palmetto fiber factory in the extreme western portion of the city. A high wind was then Mowing to the eastward, carrying the flames over the heads of the fire men. The flames spread with siu-b rapidity that our citizens had great difficulty iu leaving their homes -n.{ places of business. In many cases they barely escaped with their lives, and we regret to say that a number were burned to death or drowned in their effort to escape from the flames. The number we have been nim ble to ascertain, although five bodies have beed taken from the ruins and from 10,000 to 15,000 people are home less. “The burnt area extends east and west about two miles aud north and south varying from one-half to three quarters of a mile. In tbis area was situated the oldest and most populous portion of the city, embracing all classes of people, high and low, rich and poor. The flames carried before them homes, churches aud all the pub lic buildings save oDe. More than half of the business section was also consumed. The property loss aggre gates from 812,006,000 to 815,000,060. “All contributions of money should be sent to A. M. Ives, treasurer, and all supplies should be sent to Jack sonville Relief Association.” Leal in Coai Properties Consummated The formal absorption by the Mo aongabela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company cf the first of the 'our hig Walker county, Alabama. < oai on.panics, was < onsummated in Fitts burg.
