EAfe NOteSs
The total insurance risks on the
property destroyed is figured down to
Sl60,S50, and the salvage will proba-
bly, be eight or ten thousand dollars.
The cotton buying firm of Black &
Co. had their Office and its furniture
burned out at yesterdays fire. They
were not reported in the list and they
had no insurance.
Yesterday was a hot day for the
city fremen. They worked faithfully
throughout the day to extinguish the
flames in the cellars, and to save the
little property which was not totally
destroyed, as we'll as to keep the fire
from spreading to adjoining buildings.
Something between $4,000 and
$4,000 worth Of bsgging and tobacco
freshly laid in for the approaching
autumn traffic, formed a part of the
stock Of Stewart, Gwynne & Co., and
all was destroyed by fire yesterday
There were some 1900 rolls of bagging
and 1000 boxes of tobacco in the
stock--all recently purchased.
The elevator fire foot of Beal
street, which occurred in July, 1878,
is claimed by some TO have been equal
in magnitude to that of yesterday.
The elevator cost $4,000; the steamer
Capitol City, partially DESTROYED, was
worth perhaps $4,000, and the goods
stored on or near the elevator were Of
considerable value, but the whole was
not equal to yesterdays loss. The
insurance companies, however, were
only lightly struck at the great ele.
vstor FIRE.
The big FIRE yesterday developed Q
large number of heroes for the strife
To hear many Of them "bloviste" in
regard to the work and wisdom dis
played on the occasion, the regular

The Cotton Exchange held q meet.
ing at three o'clock this afternoon to
consider their relations with the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
A numeronsly signed petition of mem
bers requesting the officers to call the
meeting originated the movement.
The petition says the members are
suffering great loss by imperfect news
and the absence of regular dispatches,
and it is to be desired that the tele-
graph company will remedy the mat
ter without further delay.
The special committee iof three, ap-
pointed at New York several days
since to inquire into the grievances, if
any, on the part Of telegraphic en-
ployes, is to report to the Western
Union directory to day. This COM
mittee, it was said when appointed,
would ignore the committee Of the
telegraphic brotherhood. 1t is posi-
Bile, however, they may reconsider
this and that some understanding may
be arrived at. Unless they do this
the trouble will probably continue.
At present the Western Union bust
ness is in badly crippled condition,
no matter what their friends may say
to the contrary.
