at the Crescent City Hotel. '.a.f-
a gambler named Dart had reneontie with pS-
tolls in front ofthe ruins Of the Ell Dorado yesterday
morning, and shot aman named Haney dead.
A stage driver passing with his coach along the
levee Yesterday was seized with something like an
appopIetic fit, Tell from lis box, and was run over
by the coach. The injuries sustained by him were
serious, probably mortal.
.Avlllain was shot dead on 9th street, on Tuesday

The bones of a hospital patient were found
among its ruins. leShy mass was also diScOv-
cred, supposed TO be the body of second victim.
The election returns of ull the precints were
fortunately saved.
Tie printing office oftIe Stale Journal was en-
Iirsly destroyed. We sympathse deeply with our
contemporaries in their loss. -
A portion of the Union Office was saved by the
use OF great eXertionS. ..,.,f
Frequent inquiries are mnde for missing persons,
which leads to the sad belefthat the loss of human
life is much greater tlOn reported.
The Engine Companies were rendered inopera-
tive from scarcity of winter and the astonishing We
iocity with which the flames pursued them-Iri-
wing them back whole blocks at time, aud indeed
from one street TO another before they could make
the necessary attachments with their hose. The
only public house etin the city west of the plaza,
Is the Oriental Hotel on the north side OF street.
l street NOW presents the only line of houses
occasionally interrupted by Understanding from
the river to the plaza above 9th street. asl
Twelve millions Of dollars is by no means an ex-.
aggerated estimate OF the loss sustained in property
by this FIRE. an -
The levee on Front street presents a singular
spectacle OF promscuousIy piled merchandise,
household effects, and melancholy looking people,
crouched among their goods or searching for lost
articles of property.
A high wind prevailed Throughout the city the
whole Of yesterday, cold and disagreeable, raising
clouds of fine dust and positively binding people
by its effects. Nothing so dsagreeable has ever
ben witnessed in the city before.
