WHAT Is SEEN AND HEARD IN NORFOLK

Correspondence of the Alexandria GAZETTE.l
NORFOLK, Va, May 10TH Two years ago
to day, the outlook for Norfolk was encour-
aging in the highest degree. Energy and
exhilaration were stamped on every face,
and the busy rushing masses made Der
streets q scene of inspiration and life. And
though there are mighty struggles going on
today, we soc none of that animation which
marked her people two years ago. Nor

few weeks ago the most energetic, public
spirited, reliable and trustworthy of our
business men-honored respected and be-
loved by all who knew them, have proven
TO be totally destitute OF that business capa-
city for which they were credited, and con-
seuuenty unworthy of the confidence as
business men and tinancers, which was re
posed in them. If such high-toned gen

FIRE IN BOSTON.
Fire Consumes the Bay State Sugar Re.
fiuery and Touches the Stan.
dard Dye Wood Mills
Heavy Losses.
BosroN. Jan. Is.

BosroN. Jan. Is.
About o'clock tonight, fire broke out in
the Bay State Sugar Refinery. and so rapidly
did the flames spread that three alarms were
sounded in quick succession. The building
was of brick, four stories in height, with a
frontage of about forty feet on Eastern Ave
and extending back some ninety feet to Ssr-
gents wharf. The rear portion of the build
ing is pretty throughly gutted from top to
bottom, while the Eastern Avenue end, the
damage seems pretty well confined to the two
upper stories. The fret floor was used as a
receiving room; second floor, as packing de-
partment; third floor as charcoal room, and
the upper floor as kiln room
The building was formerly used as the old
Calcutta Linseed Oil Works, and the floors
were thoroughly saturated with oil. Some
delay occurred in sounding the frst alarm and
the flames gained great headway before the
arrival Of the fire department
At 10 o'clock, the flames had spread to the
Standard Dye Wood Mills. At present they
are nearly half destroyed and there seems but
little hope of saving them. On the Eastern
Avenue side, and extending down parallel
with the Dye mills, is four story block, so
or 80 feet in length, occupied on the ground
floors by small stores, and in the upper sto-
ries ~ lodging houses. The occupants of
this block hastily removed their affects, but
unless the wind should veer, this block will
probably be saved.
At the end of Eastern Avenue, is the south
ferry to East Boston, and their buildings are
in constant danger from tha dense showers of
sparks that continually are arising from the
burning buildings.
The wind, which is fresh, blows the flame.
directly toward the water, and beyond the
buildings already mentioned no others seem
TO be threatened
The refinery is operated by +. Atkins &
Co.. who, it is understood, own the brick
block as well as the Refinery building. Their
loss will probably be heavy but they are fully
insured The losses cannot be estimated at
present.
BY midnight the fire was under control but
was still feeding upon the debris. The mills
were not more than half consumed, but the
loss will be heavy. The remaining portion
of the building contained large quantity of
ground log-wood and chemicals which were
considerably damaged by water.
After the fire had apparently been subdued
in the Refinery, it rekinded, and swept
through the two lower stories, completing the
ruin. The building is completely gutted
and the loss cannot be estimated with any de-
gree of correctness. 1t is known that it will
be very large.
Insurance is placed in more than 100 differ
ent companies, but the figures are not obtain
able tonight. The fire originated on the third
floor in an unexplainable manner. Three
fremen were precipitated from one story by
a falling floor, and were slightly hurt.

An attempt was made shortly after eleven
o'clock. last night to blow up Crofut &
Knapp's hat shop, No. 2, At South Norwalk.
The shock was heard all over the city, and
hundreds of people were seen. hurrying to the
scene Of the explosion. 1t was soon learned
that some unknown parties had undertaken to
destroy the above building with dynamite.
One end of the structure was completely
blown out. There were seventeen employees
asleep in the building at the time, who for
tunately escaped injury. 1t 10 supposed to be
work of dissatisfied strikers or their friends.
The occupants of the building in some case.
were thrown from their cots and other. were
badly shaken up. The windows throughout
were shattered and the heavy stone window
sills were broken in atoms. The exact
amount of damage is not yet estimated, but it
will reach several thousand dollars As yet
there is no clew to the perpetrators of this
dastardly act, although the authorities will
use all efforts to bring the guilty one to JUS
tice. The strikers disclaim any hand in the
affair.
SoUTH NORwALK, Conn.,, Jan. II.
The excitement in the city has been intense
today owing to the attempt to destroy Crofut
& Knapp's hat shop, last night, by dynamite.
The damage to the property is not quite so
bad as first reported, although the evident in
tent was the destruction of the building. The
city council met this noon and offered 5000
reward for the apprehension of the perpetra-
tors, and the Hatters Union also held meet
ing and reward like reward. The latter
boldly secuted the idea advanced that the mis-
chief was done by some of their striking men,
bers and claims on the contrary, that it was
done in the interest of the bosses the purpose
being to gain the sympathy of the public.
The city authorities will use every effort to
bring the guilty parties TO justice.
