Sanchez building. Munson Cottage, and several smaler cottages. nulldings damaged by flames: Lynn frame building, Magnolia Ho tel, Nourey Paint Shop, Deardoff res idence, and other small structures First to Go. Among the buildings first to go was the St. Johns count- courthouse, which had been supposed to be a fire-proof structure. The ballots In yesterday’s good roads bond election were In an open hall of the courthouse and but for the heroic efforts of County Com missioner Townsend would have been destroyed. Valuable records which were stored In the courthouse were saved anfl It is not believed that the records In the fire-proof vaults of the county clefk will In any way be dam aged. Charred Area. The flames were under control short ly after daybreak and the city looked then upon the charred area which had once been the show place of the oldest city In the United States. When the fire attacked and finally destroyed the home of the power-boat club on the bay front It was the pres ence of n’ind of Charles Hopkins, man ager of the races, that saved $50,000 In speed craft. Rushing to the boat house, he ran here and there, cutting the moorings of the valuable boats and. I ushed away, they sailed, unharmed, to a safe harbor in the bay. Smoldering Bits. Priceless treasures were reduced to smoldering bits of wood and charred paper when the flames attacked the old Vedder building, where the his torical curios of the Historical Society were stored. Records of the old Spanish days, whose value could not be ex pressed in terms of mere money, and which had long been viewed with In terest and instruction by thousands of winter visitors, were entirety destroy ed. St. Augustine feels the destruc tion of these curios even more keenly than the many fine structures de stroyed. but which can be replaced. Excitement in Streets. With the city crowded with winter visitors. hundreds ran excitedly through the streets. Families became separated and personal effects were scattered everywhere. Adjutant Gen eral Foster established an information bureau in the Plaza to answer the many questions asked and every effort was made, through the assistance of the militia, to locate friends and rela tives of the inquirers. The flames spread east .and north fanned by a stiff breeze, and carried the Genovar opera house in their path. This was a large frame building and was soon entirely enveloped In flames. Call on Jacksonville. It was shortly after this structure went that a call was sent to Jackson ville for helpp. Chief Haney and a portion of his equipment, including a truck and engine, were rushed here on a special train, making record time and the influence of the train ed firefighters was soon felt, although the flames were then surging through almost the entire area destroyed. Had it not been, however, for the help of the Jacksonville firemen and the companies of the Ponce De I.eon and Alcazar hotels a greater loss might have resulted. Militia on Guard. At the request of the police, Adju tant General .Foster called out Com pany G, of the state troops, to keep back the crowdß and to protect house hold effects, which were piled high in the streets. It was only through heroic work of the firemen that that the Mag nolia hotel was saved. This stucture caught time and time again and fre quently the men were upon the point of giving up the battle, only to again resume their fight, which at last proved successful, although the build ing was considerably damaged. Dodge men joined in the fight when the flames attacked the new fraternal building, and here only persistent ef fort prevented another of the city’s prominent buildings from being re duced to ashes. Acts of Heroism. Many acts of heroism are being re ported at Florida House, where the fire started. Dense volumes of ‘black smoke were pouring out of the second story windows when the alarm was given. The firemen were quickly at work with ladders and about twen ty-five persons were carried from the building and down the ladders to safe ty Cool work prevented a great panic. The hotel men. drilled dally for fire, quickly emptied the houses. Fire Gongs Clang. While the Florida House was being consumed the other hotels got their guests out. At the Florida House the tire gongs clanging awoke the sleep ing guests and the bellmen saw that everyone got out before they left. Only two persons jumped from the upper floors Others were carried down the ladders and fire escapes in an orderly manner. When all the guests were accounted for the man ager gave the signal and the employes left the building, carrying such valua bles as could bo snatched ahead of the roaring flames. GIRL SCRAPPERB. Atlanta, Ga.—Two actress Amazons. Grace Mettler and Tina Ross by name, were arraigned in the police court this morning for getting Into a fight with four men In a local chop suey Joint Though tho odds were against the girls it seems that they used their fingernails to telling advantage, and it was the men who came out of the scrap the worse. All the parties par ticipating in the free-for-all were fined by the recorder. BETTER PLAY SAFE. Alice—How many times would you make a man propose to you before you Raid yes?
