Wednesday Night a Disastrous One for
Virginia Gardeners.
Norfolk, Va., April 26.—'There was a
heavy frost in this section last night and the
damage to farm truck is said to be from ore
and a half to two million dollars. These
figures were given, however, by some of the
trnckers who were completely discouraged
by the damage to their fields. The most
careful estimate puts the damage at from a
half to three quarters of a million dollars.
The winds were from the south and the
farms situated on the water so as to get salt
air experienced small damage, but m the
back country of Norfolk, Princess Anne and
Nansemond counties, potato vines were cut
down to the hills; beets, beans, cucumbers,
watermelons, tomatoes and cymblings were
entirely destroyed and peas and strawberries
put back a week or ten days. The seed
stores here were entirely exhausted of stock
for replanting to-day.

Excursionists Advised Not to Go Far Into
Florida.
Special Telegram to Macon Telegraph.
Savannah, April 22.—The Associated
Press dispatches of yesterday announcing
the suspected existence of yellow fever in
Southern and Souteastern Florida, has ere-
ated some apprehension here. A meeting
of the sanitary board was held to-day, but
nothing was given out to the press. Health
Officer Brunner said to-night that he would
not be surprised if quarantine is established
at Jesup by Thursday. Three deaths sup
posed to be from yellow fever were reported
at Plant City, Fla., last week.
A big excursion is to start from here for
Florida in the morning, but the health au
i^erting^ Ieave t™.Teledi^ n «u-lj over thoritics have advised the excursionists not
to go below Gainesville or Sanford.

St. Paul, April 26.—A Dead wood special
says: Central City, Dak., was destroyed by
fire early this morning. Not a store or shop
is left standing, and 130 buildings were
destroyed. Fifty families are left homeless.
Deadwood is sending them food. The loss
is $250,000, with insurance of $25,000. Lead
City and Deadwood firemen assisted, but
lack of water prevented the saving of the
town. Both sides of Main street, from Saw
Pit to Gold street, are in ashes. Fairview
quartz mill is destroyed. Merchandise and
household goods were piled up all over the
side of the mountain. No one was injured.
Central City is a mining town v two and a
half miles west of Deadwood, with a popula
tion of 1,000. It ships about $100,000 worth
of bullion monthly.
A GAS EXPLOSION.
Chicago, April 26.—Workmen in the
basement, corner of Btate and Jackson
slreets, were drilling a hole under the street
for a conduct when their drill tapped a gas
main. One of the men lit a candle to see
what was the matter, when an explosion fol
lowed which wrecked Bell's clothing store
on the first floor and blew up about seventy
people. No one was killed out many were
injured. The Interior of the building was
wrecked, the stock damaged and an im
mense amount of plate glass destroyed. The
fire was quickly extinguished.
AT BALTIMORE.
Boston, April 26.—The Atlantic Machine
Works, corner of Boarder and Maverick
street, were burned this morning, causing
an estimated loss of $160,000. The fire start
ed in the pattern shop and the supposition
is that it caught from the wires from an arc
electric light. Assistance was asked
from the city proper, and from
Chelsea, but before it arrived the flames had
made great headway. The rear portion of
the building was quickly destroyed aud a
scene of great excitement ensued’ when the
walls fell in, carrying with them all the ma
chinery and completely destroying the en
gine room. It required the greatest vigi
lance to prevent the fire spreading to ad
joining buildings. Four workmen were in
jured, and one of them, Robert Cassidy, will
die. The loss is probably covered by insur
ance.
Baltimore, April 26.—Fire to night de
stroyed the packing house connected with
the extensive glass works of Henry Seim &
Co., on Leadenhall street. The loss is esti
mated at $25,000 on stock and building, fully
covered by iiisiinntee.

Finally one of the men went up and es

taken his bed in the tree as a means of es

Mr. Small’s Tent ami Its Vnrfou* Uses—
Ills Promised Sensation,
Atlanta, April 25.—The tent donated
to the National Prohibition party is ex
pected to arrive in Atlanta in a few days.
Kwanweltel Small will eorry 41 wtlkklw, --
his stumping campaign in the State. On
week days he proposes to make jailitical
speeches in it, and on ljunday he will use
it for religious work.
Mr. Small stated last night, in referring
to the light attendance upon his conven
tion, that he was well satisfied, as only ten
days’ notice had been given of the meeting.
Evidently the Evangelist was not postcll
on this matter. Every effort was made to
get up a large attendance and to get rep
resentatives from every county in the
State, and to tills end a circular letter, t
copy of which was nub
li-died in the Telegbapii, signed by
John Lloyd Thomas, secretary, was sent
out from theXational Prohibition Bureau,
No. 32 East Fourteenth street, New York,
under date of April 5, urging all national
prohibitionists to attend and unite in tl
organization, which was to meet in Atlnni
April 2-1. Furthermore, the contempla
tion of this convention was not that of s
few days; it was first suggested in the lat
ter part of February, and from that time
everything was done to boom the conven
tion. Tho Telegraph published, at least
two months ago, a full account of this
third party scheme.
There mav be some members, and a few
at that, of Evangelist Small’s party who
mean what they say, hut it is surprising
how many queer members have joined the
tiling.’
A great many Republicans had joined—
that is to say, more than Democrats. They
seem to take a peculiar interest in it, not
from their regard for the principles of the
new organization, but, as a Republican
expressed it to your correspondent last
night, that by niligning themselves with it,
