Jacksonville, Fla., May -1.—1 a. m.
—The most disastrous fire in the historv '
of this city begun yesterday shortly
after noon in a small factory, from a
defective wise, according to the best be
lief, and burned for nearly ten hours.
In that tiuiea property damage estimate
ed from $10,000,000 to $i5,000,000
eilictud.
According to the city map, J80 blocks
were burned, many of them iu the heart
of the business and residence section.
The estimate of houses to the block is
ten, hence i ,800 of them went up iu
smoko. Many of the finest public and
private buildings were destroyed, in
cluding hotels, theaters, churches and
residences.
The eaAmities cannot lie accurately
estimate.1. That there were several
seems to be well authenticated. Among
them was that of tiie fire chief, Tom
Haney, who sustained a bad fall.
Mayor Bowden ordered all of tho sa
loons cio. -d, .mu, has impressed help to
clear tho wreckage.
Ksiimatctl Cess.
The mayor stated that he estimated
'the loss at $15,000,000, end that 10,002 to
15,000 people were situation homeless. is
At 1 a. m. tho one ap
proaching desolation in a large, section
of tho city. The burned district reaches
from Burbridge street on tho north to
the St. Johns river on the south, a dis
tance of quite 2 miles. The width of
the desolated area is 13 blocks. Within
this space practically everything is
blackened ruins. On Bay street, the
principal mart of trade, the Western
Union Telegraph, company’s building is
the first going west. Everything east
of Laura, on Bay, is gone,
At, iOrlu o'clock last night the lire was
under control, having practically burned
itself out. The suburban settlements,
with the exception of La Villa, are in
tact. La Villa was badly hurt.
Homeless on Streets.
Thousands of persons are on the
streets homeless, with practically all of
their worldly possessions upon their
backs. Tho depots of the railroads, sit
uated in the southeastern section, have
been turned into temporary lodging
jj 0Uses an) j hospitals. Luckily the
weather is flue, so that there wili bo no
suffering on that score,
Meetings of the city council, the com
mercial bodies and the charitable insd
tutious will be hold today to devise
ways and means for meeting the sit-ua
<*>“• Ic is uoC ku °wn yet if an appeal
