lying close to the fire. The steamship Indi-
ana narrowly escaped. The fire burned over
three hours and the building was almost en-
tirely destroyed. The loss is 500, 000 Among
the freight consumed was six carloads of

| New ORLEANS, Nov i8.-The steamer s. II.
Parisot was destroyed by fire this morning
at Bullets bayou, eight miles above Natchez.
The Parisot left Vicksburg yesterday for New

of cotton had been taken on after leaving

Two or three hundred dollars were lost.
With the exception of the members of Coup's
circus who are reported missing nothing
like a definite statement can be made as
to any loss. 1t has been ascertained that no
employees of the railroad company are miss
ing. The company shows enough confidence
in the stability of the remaining portion of
the depot to use it. Trains arrive and depart
irregularly, but access to the freight depot is
cut off
Manager Scott, of the Southern road, says
OF the accident to the structure: "a heavy
freight business was being done at the
cutting this off, the freight business
was doneat the Mclean avenue freight she'd"
1t wss thought by the railroad officials that
the avenue, being 100 feet wide, could
water on the west side, buta space of 800 feet,
reaching from the passenger to the freight
depot, swept eastward with but little warn
ing, and everything was thrown into
space on each side, which rapidly filled with
water. Two engines standing on the spot
were safely removed by the engineers 1t is
known that car of meat and Que of -four
were submerged. A large amount of mis-
cellaneous freight was floating in the water,
much of which was recovered. As regards
the loss of lite, the most extravagant reports
we're made, but close inquiry on the part OF
the officers and others failed to disclose any
well-authenticated proof of such loss 1t is
thought the road may resume the full vol
ume of its freight business in few days.

Much sickness is found among the

the marks showed sixty-fye feet
and one-half inch, and though it receded
but half an inch during the next
four hours, the fact that the worst seemed
to be over gave relief The tension has
been strong on the entire business portion
of the CITY, and the slight rain falling to-
night gives sort of nervous apprehension of
more disaster to come. The situation is
alarming.
1t would require the publication of the
greater portion of the directory to name the
business men, particularly in the tobacco,
produce grain, commission, whisky and all
kinds of manufacturing interests whose
business is wholly suspended. Many of these
all lose heavily in damage to
machinery and stocks, aside from
lost time. More than 1000
business firms and manufactures are thus
prostrated, yet business men are not dis
heartened nor selfish, These same men for
two days have paid in contribution for
relief of the suffering among that
much greater class, the poor, who are driven
from their homes and deprived of work. 1t
is estimated that 10000 to 10000 work
men are ont of employment by the closing

LOUISVILLE, Feb 13-0n the point wnere
the disaster occurred last night, the food ex-
tends over space more than quarter of a
mile wide and more than mile in length.
Over $50 houses are either under the water or
else floating about. The fact that
the water was comparatively still pre-
vented most of the houses from floating away,
while many are tied with heavy cables
gratifying feature of the food is that
comparatively few, it is thought,
have lost their lives. Many occupants of
houses in the submerged districts had re-
moved, and thus escaped, The fact that the
survivors are scattered over the city renders it
impossible to make definite statement as TO
who are lost and saved, and it is sufficient to
say that the death-rate is smaller than the
circumstances indicate Those known to be
lost are:
John Finch and son, a small boy; George
Lynch, Edward Harris, George Bell.
Harry Browning, lieutenant of police,
and family, wife and three children, are
f-eissins, but it is hor>ed they h--' -r7o-r--'

but it is feared that when

That's what we're here for" responded

ones, scared half to death, were passed along

his son. The boat pushed away with its load
of living freight, and was making for the
shore when a feeble voice cried out:
For heavens sake come and save me-"
We'll be there directly" cried Captain
Devan. The boat was pulled to the shore re-
lieved of its load, and back it went again to
the place where the feeble voice had been
