Te fire started at 2:16 a. m>, ia the eutern

At 9 a. m. the fire waa atill horning fiorcoly.
It ia raging on avenue N, atill apreading on
both sides, and haa cut a awath ofaixly
blocka. About aixty Mocha hare already
been destroyed. Hundreds of families have
lost everything, and great distress prevaili.
At 11:20 a.m., the firo had reached the
beach, which ia a distance ol about a mile and
a half from where it started. In some places
the path of the fire ia six or seven blocka
wide. Over 709 residences were burned. The

and pandemonium reigaed. For a time it
seemed aa though the entire eastern half of
the city waa doomed. The fire spread rapid! r
to tho southward, licking up blocka of elegan;
residences, hastily abandoned by their in-
mates, lly 6 o???clock it had reached
Broadway, which threads the ' center
oi the island, running oast and
weat. At 7 o???clock the wind
gave signs of dying away, and shortly began
to shilt, then to deoend, until by 8 o???clock
only a fain breeze waa blowing. But by this
time the firo bad eaten its way to Avenue 0,
where at 9:30 o???clock it seemed to exhaust
ilseli. The firemen coming up checked its
further ravages at this point, or within two
blocks of the gulf.
TUB BUSXXD DISTBICT.
The burned disrietcovers fifty-two blocks,
???even of which are not swept entirely clean. It
is sixteen blocks deep and averages in width
three blocks. From a housetop the smoking
burned district resembles a huge black half
open fan, lying across the island from the bay,
nearly to the gulf. The island at that point
is ninetesn blocks, or 1M miles wido. Tho
fire started on the north side, Avenue A, better
known aa the Strand, which is one block
from the bay and it stopped within two bloolea
of the gulf. Sixteenth street is nine blocks
west of tho extreme inhabitable end of the
island, the first resident street being the Sixth.
From Avenue A to Avenue D the fire was con*
fined to a strip bounded on the east by Six*
tcenth street and on tho west by Seventeenth
street. The buiinees part of the city begins
at Twentieth street and runs west ten squares.
This outline located the fire which,
began to spread rapidly after it had passed
Avonue D. By the lime it had reached Broad,
way it was sweeping nearly three blocks is
width from tho west side of Seventeenth street
to the east side of Fourteenth, about 300 houses
burred, occupied by fully 000 families,
tub axnn or rai boss.
Many of these residences had beautiful
gardens attached, and the monied loss does
not represent over half their Talus. All man

Five-minutes after a house caught, it would

while the flames on the edges were fitfully
spitting high and far on every
side. Tho alleys and streets for
ten streets on slthsr side of the
burning belt were filled with panio stricken
women end children and strong men, who
conld do nothing in such a gale, but
crouch down for chcUer from tho piercing
northor and watch the flsmee lick up tho
fiuils of their labor. Although tho sufferers
number msny of the wealthiest residents, such
as Julius Bunge, Leon Blum and a ecoro
others, yet tho great majority
ol these burned out lose tho greater portion of
their fortune!, or their little all. Some fern-
lliei saved a good deal of furniture, othere are

Following close en the heels of the recent greet
strike, which inflicted a moseyed lose on the
business men of Galveztou, fully $400,900, this
caltmliy is a climax to tha woee and acre

spared tha government building, and passed
onward toward tho gulf. At avenue I, tho

Sevan sub-committees, organised for tbe
purposes of searching out tho victims of yes
terday's conflagration, have had a busy day.
Two hundred headi of families have been
listed as worthy or every reliefthatlt ia pouf

ere reported, end among tho vlelims
are found a goodly number of educated and
refined woman of small moans who lose thoir
little homes, and who hesitate to permit their
destitute condition to become known. A mem

from femiiies of thie description, asking
whether aid could not be extended to thorn

A Problem In Which th* Planter, Mortgage,
Negro and Mule Figure,
From the Selma Times.
Strictly specking, planting Is somothlng akin to
firming, thsngh there Is In some Instances * very
wide difference. A man may plant upon a much
larger scale than he can farm. It la better, how
ever, to plant by the square aero than to plant by
the iquuo mile. .
Planting merely consists ot about four con
stituent elements, i. e., yourself, a negro, a mnlo
and a mortgage. Wltb these constituent eloments
one can start upon a very respectable planting
expedition up Salt river.
First you call a formal mooting ol your constitu
ent elements. Hr. Mortgage takes the chair and
calls tha meeting to order. You take tha floor

Tou finally lay your motion before tbe house
and Chatman Mortgage, alter taking an accurate
mhmte of tha proceedings, puts the motion te
tho bouse. Negro votes affirmatively. Mule gives
bis tong eera such a flop as emphasize his nega
tive of tho wholo business. But It Is la vatu
Hula te to tha minor! ty, (mules are usually In
