FIRE IN CHARLEsToN-A fire broke out on the
morning of the 18th inst. in Broadway, which, be-
fore being extnguished extended over two squares.
bounded on the west by Meeting street, the north
by Charlotte street, east by Elizabeth, and south by
Broadway. About one hundred and fifty buildings
were consumed, being all of the two squares mem
toned, with the exception of few buildings on the
southeast corner of Elizabeth and Broadway, and
the corner of New and Meeting streets. The hou-
ses were nearly all small, and occupied by the
poorer classes. Much distress is therefore caused.
The loss of property is not very extensive. There
is $4,000 insurance, of which $4,000 is in the
" Hartford Protection Company" and $1,000 in
the "Charleston Insurance and Trust Company"
There was great want of water experienced at
the fire, and the weather warm

~ Many persons apprehsnd much sickness in the city
this summer consequence Of the overflow. Indeed this
seems to be the prevailing opinion yet. by reference to
previous occasions when the city has been inundated we
find that experience to the general idea. We
have the authority of the editor of the Courier for the fact
that after the memorable inundaton of 1916, the city
joyed of unexampled salubty. This was thought
be owing to the fact that the rapid retreat OF the watss
carried off all the rubbish and filth which might have engen
dered disease had they been left exposed the action OF
sum- Such theory accordance with and expe
rlence and hope this may still farther confirm
and verify it.

STEAMER DAHCoTA SUNK.-Ihe officers OF the
steamer st. Paul, down on the Sd inst. from the
Missouri, says the st. Louis Reveille, report the
Dahcota sunk in twenty feet water, about twenty
miles below Fort Kearny. 1t appears that when
rounding to, within a few miles below the point
where she sunk, she struck snag which entered
her stern. The jar received was so slight that no
attention was paid to it, and she continued to
ascend When it was announced that she had
sprung leak, the hold was already so much filled
with water that it was impossible to prevent her
sir king. The Dahcota was new boat, this being
her first season, and well suited to the trade she
was in. She had cost her owners about 800, 900
their loss, however, will be proportionatey small,
as she was insured at the time of the accident for
$4,000. We are told that there are but little
homes of her being raised.
