Atvay^-Tcn Thousand Persona Ren
dered llomeldls.
Jacksonville, Fla., May 4.—1 a. m.
—The most disastrous fire in tho history
of this oity began yesterday shortly
after noon in a small factory, from a
defective wire, according to the best ho
lier, and burned for nearly ten hours.
In that tiraea property damage estimat
ed from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 was
effected.
According to tile city map, 130 blocks
wero burned, many of them in the heart
of the business and residence sootion.
The estimate of houses to the block is
ten, hence 1,300 of them went np in
smoke. Many of the finest public and
private buildings were destroyed, in
cluding hotels, theaters, churches aud
residences.
The casualties cannot bo accurately
estimated. That there were several
seems to be well autheutlotted. Among
them was that of the firo chief, Tom
Haney, who sustained a bad fall.
Mayor Bowden ordered all of the sa
loons closed, and has impressed bolp to
clear the wreckage.
Estimated Loss-
Tile mayor stated that ho estimated
tho loss at $15,000,000, and that 10,000 to
15,000 people wero homeless.
At 1 a. m. the situation is ono ap
proaching desolation In a large section
of the city. The burned district reaches
frurn Barbridge street on tho north to
the St. Johns river oil the south, a dis
tance of quite 2 miles. The width of
the desolated area is 13 blocks. Within
this spaco practically overythiug is
blackeuod ruins. On Bay street, tho
principal mart of trade, tho Western
Union Telegraph company’s building is
tho first going west Everything east
of Laurn, on Bay, is gono.
At 10:15 o’olock last night tho firo wns
under control, having practically burned
itself out. The suburban settlements,
with the exception of La Villa, are In
tact. La Villa was badly hart.
Homeless on Streets.
Thousands of persons nre on the
streets homeless, with practically nil of
their worldly possessions upon their
hacks. Tho depots of the railroads, sit
uated in the southeastern section, have
been turned into temporary lodging
houses and hospitals. Luoklly the
weather is fine, so that there will be no
suffering on that score.
Meetings of the city council, tho com-
mcrcial bodies and the charitable insti
tutions will be hold today to devise
ways and means for meeting the situa
tion. It is not known yot if an appeal
for holp will bo issued, though it is
thought likely that tho exigencies of
the occasion will demand such action.
It is hoped an appeal can bo avoided.

AFTER THE FIRE WAS OVER
City Under Martial Law —Number of
Lives Lost.
Jacksonville, Flo., May 4.—The fire
which broko out yesterday at noon and
wns aided in its work by a northwest
gulo spent its force by 9 o'clock last
night. The damage is enormous. One
hnndred and forty-eight blocks wero
swept by the flames and, as far as is
known, sevon people lost their lives. A
report is in circulation that a party of
:0 people, driven to the docks along the
Bt. Johns river, were forced into the
water, all attempts to rescue by boats
being futile. The river is being search
ed for bodies.
The city was placod under martial
law at 4 o’olock this morning. All the
local companies of the state militia have
boen on duty since midnight, and under
orders of Governor Jennings the mili
tary companies from four oitles are
speeding to Jacksonville by special
trains Manv extra polirwm-n h««j
Seen .worn in, ana every aoieoomea
man not doing duty in some capacity in
the fire-swept district is pressed Into
the service.
At 10 o’clock this morning a cordon
composed of militiamen, deputy sheriffs
and policemen was thrown aronnd the
entire fireswept distriot. Tho fire was
•till burning fiercely In many sections
of the rains, but the exhausted firemen,
giving np the fight for the time being,
songht rest, leaving the firo to boru It
self out. The heat from the fire is in
tense aud the temperature Is 90.
The most important retail business
portion of the city and tho buildings
the entire length of Beaver street, from
Davis to the creek, and over Liberty
street have been burned. Thiscovers 14
blocks. For the same distance Ashley
and Church streets have both been com
pletely blotted out. Wben tbe fire
reached Bridge street in its eastward
course, it enveloped iu flames three
blocks, Duval, Monroe anil the north
side of Adams, burning up that entire
section of tho city and running 14 blocks
to tho Dnval street bridge.
St. Luke’s hospital was saved.
The local military companies were
called out to keep back tile crowds and
the fire department bogan to use dyna
mite to blow np the bouses a block from
tluj lire aud thus prevent the firo from
spreading.
So fierce was the blaze and so strong
had become the wiud that millions of
sparks aud living burning shingles
spread over five or six blocks, setting
the roofs of the houses on fire in advance
of tho maiu fire.
Soon Senator Taliaferro’s residence
and the adjoining houses on that block
were ablaze, and in splto of all efforts
tr. the Windsor and >b» T.
noteis, botu mmses were quickly envoi-
sped iu flames. Leaping madly across
the street from the Windsor, Dr. Laell’s
house caught fire and then the Metho
dist parsonage, and in a few moments
Trinity M. E. church was a mass of
flames.
t he opera boose block followed.
Ten minutes passed, wben suddenly
there was a roar, aud tbe Hubbard
building collapsed like an eggshell. The
dynamite and the nowdor had oxploded.
Here there was much danger for the
firemen. Cartridges began to explode
ond bullets began to fly, and the efforts
to flgbt tbe firo at tilts point were aban
doned. The new Furcligott building
wns soon ablaze.
Down the strest tho tire spread and
tbe cutiru section of Bay street from
Market to Maiu streets and extending
livo blocks back was soon gono. Tho
city building went, tbe lire department
building, the armory, tho eonnty court
house, the clerk’s office, with the county
records, tho criminal courthouso, the
city jail, tbe high ond grammar schools,
tho Catholic church and orphanage,
MoTyeire Methodist church, St. John’s
Episcopal church uud tho convent.
Dr, U. H. Dean, a prominent physi
cian, reported tho loss of his two chil
dren, Helen and Francis, to the police
at noon. Dr. Dean thinks tho older of
the two, Helen, will yet bo found, but
believes Francis was burned to deatli in
his office, where thoy sought safety. Dr.
Doan collapsed on tho street after an all-
night search and iu falling was seri
ously injured.
W. B. Barnett, president of the First
National bank of Jacksonville, also
fainted last night during tho progress
of tho firo. Ho fell into some smoulder
ing ruins, and his hair, beard and face
were burned beforo ho was rescued.
The terrific strain, added to the warm
weather, is telling on many of those
who wero active yesterday and last
night in rescue work, a number of casus
of prostration being reported up to noon.
Secretary of War Root today wired
the mayor of St Augustiuo tendering
the use of the barracks at Fort Barran
cas (St. Augnstiuc) for tho refugees.
The offer was in turn transmitted to
Jacksonville. St. Augnstine offers also
to talto care of 1,900 refugees with its
own funds.
Before the fire reached tho jail yes
terday Sheriff Price assembled ail his
vrisoners, 35 iu number, aud summon*
ng all his deputies nud prison guards
marched the men to Riverside. Hero
they were kopt under guard nil night
and this morning removed to Glen
Oovo aud St. Augustiuo.
Money is pouring in from all Florida
cities by wire nud express. Tho Times-
Union and Citizen lias headed a fund
wliioh is growing rapidly.
It is admitted by everybody that the
s tuation is n serious one nud that help
will bo needed from the outside world.
That part of tho city bordering on tho
•moulding rntns is in some dnmepr from
nyiug spurns. A strung oreeao .piaug
up about 1 o’clock today and fanned tho
smouldering embers into flames. A
company of hosemeu was sent to one
locality near Bay and Hogan streets and
kept at work playing on the flames.
No action was taken at the citizens
relief meeting this morning, an ad-
ment being taken until 2 o’clock
fer with tho city council commit
tee. t;
A largo number of prostrations were
reported today.
Itellef Is Forthcoming.
New York, May 4.—Tho Merchants
association of this city have telegraphed
to Governor Bloxbam and the mayor of
Jacksonville, expressing sympathy with
the people of Jacksonville iu their dis
tress and asking for a statement of im
mediate necessities. The association
will form a committee to receive sub

Nashville, May 4.—Tbe Nashville
Banner has authorized the mayor ol
Jacksonville, Flo., to draw on it for
$1,000, being the amount subscribed by
citizens of Nashville for the immediate
relief of sufferers from the fire.
Ravages or Rinderpest.
Manila, May 3.—Tho ravages of the
rinderpest has left tho Island of Mnsbato
in a deplorable condition, as the United
States Philippine commission learned
when they arrived there for the purpose
of organizing a provincial government
of the three islands of Masbate, Ticao
and Barkis. Tbe chief industry of Mas
bate has always been the raising of beef
cattle, aud in the Spanish days Muuila
derived her supply of moat from that
island. Within tho past few months
practically nil tho cattle and caribos on
the island have been swept away by the
pest. _____ __

PHILIPS’ CORNER ON CORN
Kxcitlng Events oft the Chicago Hoard
of Trade*
Chicago, May 3.—A pauic, tho first
ono since Philips cornered the market,
appeared in May corn on tho board of
trade today. Price fluctuations were
tho most violent in years. Having
leen their losses grow heavier End hear
hr with each succeeding day, the tra
dors who guaranteed to deliver May
corn to Philips made frantio efforts to
get It. The price went from 55 to 68,
4)1 cents higher than its close yesterday.
For a few minutes when tho session be
gan, shorts snrroauded the young bull
loader and almost begged for corn. He
wns frequently called from the pit liy
men who wanted to sottlo privately,
bat he told them they had disregarded
his offer to sell to them at 48 cents, and
now they would have to bid in the open
market to him. When reminded that be
himself and the “upon mnrkot” wore
synonomous, Mr. Philips smiled.
For nn hour shorts bid 58 cents. Then
Philips let out 000,000 bushels at prices
ranging between 57 and 58. He said it
wns only u drop in tho bucket compared
with the quantity still held by him, hut
it netted him a profit of nbout $100,000,
or approximately 17 cents per bushel.
Tills nctiou created intcuso excite
ment. It was thought for a moment
that tho bull chief wus about ro unload,
ami tho market broke to 63 without a
check. Tile drop disposed of a number
of sculping longs who had been cling
ing to Philips’ speculative coattails.
Under 67 cents, however, Philips sold
nothing. Iu eonsequuuce, prices react
ed sharply to 60)£, when traders real
ized that tlie end 11 tho corner was by
no means at hand.
