MARsuALLrowN, May 5.
The most destructive FIRE that
ever occurred in Iowa took place
here about noon to-day. 1t COM
menccd in SANKEY'S elevator, and
quickly communicated to the ad-
joining buildings, famed by high
wind. At one time it threatened
the entire town. The whole south
east part of the city is in ruins
The loss foots up about 100000. 1t
includes five elevators, with vast
amount of grain in store, wooden
mill, two hotels, four lumber yards,
the Northwestern depot, tanks and
pump building, five stores and
shops, and three dwelling houses
Cedar Rapids, Grinnell and Des
Moines were telegraphed to for aid,
and promptly responded. Only the
Grinnell company arrived, the
flames having been subdued, the
others were ordered back. The city
is in state of intense excitement,
and full particulars cannot be ascer-
tanned as yet.
The fire commenced in the Stan
ley elevator; next Sleight's; then
Binftrd Bros, and West 4 West
lakes. The Northwestern depot
buildings caught about the same
time. Woodbury's wooden mill,
lumber yard, Altwien's hotel, Wat
son" & Boltman's store, Williams
house, Craigue & Johnson's grocery,
Deitricks dry goods, Woodwork,
Hall and Anselm's residences, and
every lumber yard in town. The
losses will aggregate nearly $780,
900; very little insurance.
The fire ragged for about two
hours, but was finally checked after
exhausting the working men and
women.

BRAELLEAN IUsILEs-fbe size OF these
creatures may be imagined from the fact
that the fippers and feet Of one, il crawl
lug over the sand, leaves a track Of two
irregular grooves. three or four feet apart,
as though great wagon with cog wheels
had been driven over the ground. Il Is
an easy matter to fud 9 turtles nest by
this trsck. She comes out OF the sea and
travels far mp on the beach to lay her eggs
in the sand, digging . hole 3 foot and >
half or TWO feet deep for the nest. Pro
lessor Hartt, who was iu Brazil with Pro
fessor Agessiz, says that he saw turtle
deposit one hundred and forty-three eggs
IN one Of these nests. The eggs are all
laid st one sitting, then covered up closely
with the sand and left to hatch. The egg
are rather larger than hens eggs, round
and covered with tough white skin. The
Brasilians eat the eggs and also the flesh
OF the turtle. The creature is captured il
curious way. Two persons go behind it
and taking hold of the shell, turn the ami
nal on It's back, in which position il is a
the mercy OF its captors, ss it is impossibl,
for it 70 turn over on It's feet again. TIL,
hunters are obliged to creep up behind i
