HELP FOR HOMELESS THOUSANDS
Governor and Legislature Take
Action and Flany Outside
Citizens Alake Response.
Additional particulars of Jackson¬
ville’s fearful conflagration show that
one hundred and forty-eight blocks
of the city were laid waste.
TeD thousand people are homeless,
and many of them left for St. Augus¬
tine and other coast cities and nearby
towns, while numerous river craft took
mauy to little places on the St. Johns
river. Supply stations have been es¬
tablished in various parts of the city.
The prompt action of Secretary of
War Root in tendering the use of the
barracks near St. Augustine was re¬
ceived with gratitude on every side.
A committee was appointed at a
meeting of citizens to wire the gov
erners of various states to send all
tents they can spare to Jacksonville.
It will be weeks before anything like
permanent shelter can be provided for
the homeless thousands and Jackson¬
ville for some time to come will be a
city of lents. Jenning3 de¬
Saturday Governor
clared the city under martial law.
Col. Lovell, of the First regiment, is
is command of the troops.
The following troops, in addition to
local companies, arrived dnrin ? the
day aud are on duty; Governor’s
Guards, Tallahassee; Columbia Rifles,
Lake City; Suwanee Rifles, Live Oak,
and Gem City Gnards, of Palatka.
The city is patrolled and the entrances
to burned districts guarded by senti¬
nels. Military headquarters has been
established and passes are necessary
to enter the lines in any part of the
city.
FOOD AND RAIMENT POUR IN.
The hanger of 10,000 homeless peo¬
ple was satisfied Sunday upon the ar¬
rival relief trains and boats bringing
provisions from uighboring towns and
distant cities, A commissary was es-
tablished in tbe center of the city anil
thousands were fed during tbe day.
An . Older was promulgated, nnH*»r “ nd - r
martial law, requiring all merchants,
whose stores were spared by the con
flagration, to open their doors and sol.
to all who asked.
Five carloads of tents were received
Sunday, the property of the state,
which are to be used by the homeless
temporarily. These are in addition
to those ordered sent by secretary
Root.
The Times-Union and Citizen esti¬
mates tbe total loss at $11,000,000.
These are based upon an itemized
statement furnished by a volunteer
committee of citizens.
MANY PERSONS MISSING.
Rumors of loss of life are on every
hand, and the river has been closely
watched. Many persons have con¬
firmed the report of loss of life at the
Market street wharf. Numerous ad¬
vertisements appear in the local pa¬
pers asking for aid in searching for
persons who are missing. As many
have left the city for refuge, it is
impossible to ascertain who have been
lost in the Market street pier tragedy.
TO ISSUE BONDS.
Chairman Potcher L’Engle, of the
board of county onmmissiouers of Du¬
val, said:
“A bill will be introduce in the leg¬
islature at once to bond Duval for per¬
haps $200,000 to rebuild the court¬
house and tbe county jail. The bill
is being prepared. I understand that
» bill for the issuance of $500,000 of
o ity bonds will be at once introduced
also. Of this $300,000 will be used to
take up the judgment debts of the city
and the remainder to rebuild city
buildings.” in the county jail,
The prisoners number, including
thirty-five in offenses, capital, many
for serious some were
marched to Riverside under heavy
guard before the fire reached them.
Later on the prisoners were taken
by the sheriff to Green Cove Springs,
Fernandina and St. Augustine.
