State Engineer to-day ordered work com
menced at once by the convict contractors in
closing Davis crevasse. The line across the
gap is one thousand four hundred feet. bui
owing to the deep water-worn gap it wa lie
cided cheaper to make detour around the
lagoon. so that the line of levee to be erected
will be six thousand feet. Meantime the
Texas & Pacific Road has run its trestles
across the deepest part of the gap in the
front. expecting to take advantage of the
levee as rOadbed when completed.

so far as the freight depot was concerned,
and at half past eight o'clock the whole
frame work fell, sending up a vast shower
of sparks, making a scene, which, viewed
from the bluffs, was of the most magnificent
description. The flames rolled upward i'll
billowy waves. while lnrid flashes darted
from doors and windows. Thousands of
people witnessed the scene Of grandeur and
destruction. The firemen confined the loss
to the one building, which at midnight was
a vast heap of charred and steaming ruins.
The building had not been completed, and
the $50, 900 loss falls heavily upon the con-
tractors and their employees.
