tween 1870 and 1874, issued from the pub.
lie land office. It vas after ward found that

to the fraud. The defense claimed the
deeds were now good, granting they were
fraudulently obtained because they are now
in the hands OF innocent parties. The
judge held adversely and rendered q de.

Three hundred houses, covering half a
square mile, large cotton warehouse, con-
tanning 5000 bales, together with other
property to an amount at present beyond
estimation, are IN ruins, the result of fire
which broke out at Savannah at shortly af-
ter IL o'clock on the 31st inst. Fully $4,000
people, mostly. colored, are homeless. Care
full estimate of facts and figures fixes the
loss at 81, OO0, 900. 1t is certain that three
lives have been lost. Two other persons are
also believed to have rerished,
and it is probable that the to.
tai amount will not fall short of eight
or ten.
The fire broke out in Garnet, Stubts &
Co.'s warehouse. The fire spread to the
buildings of Joachim, Farm, Mill, Indisn
and River streets, and was checked when it
had reached West Broad street snd Indian
