GALVESTON FIRE.


GALVESTON, Ten, November l3 just
before two O'Clock this morning a fire
broke out in small foundry on Strand
street, or Avenue A, near Sixteenth street.
A stiff north wind was blowing and the
fire rapidly spread southward, making
headway also to the east and west, so that
its path was really that of a triangle.i
The fire department was on the ground
promptly, but was powerle.s to check the
flames, which gradually increased, till
nearly sixty blocks of the city were burned,
most Of them being en- irely gone, while
some of them were not swept alto
gether out of existence Their
path extends almost across Galveston
island, beginning near the bay on the
north and reaching almost to the gulf on
the south, about one and II quarter OF miles
in length | reaches from Sixteenth to
Twenty first streets,in breadth. Fortunate
ly the business part of the city has not been
touched. Over fifteen hundred residences
nave been destroyed AN hnndt eds OF tami-
lies are homeless. Hundreds are in de-
spair, and the scenes o! sorrow and deso-
lHtion are most hearirending. The City
Assessor SAYS the taxable value Of
the dwellings, burned is $4,000 This
makes the actual value Of the
property >1,5l0,00j, which perhaps repre-
sen'S the loss in money. Tue Insurance is
estimated SG00,OoO although some msur-
ance men place il higher. So far as can be
learned not a singh acciden' occurred. The
scene during the progress of the fire was
simply iri2httul-so filed with misery ana
terror thar whoever witnessed it must bear
its vivid impress forever. The fire last ed
from before = o'clock this morning until
y. m before it was got under control
Some idea Of the rapidity Of its snreac
may he gained from the statement that a
times the roof Of buildings for three
consecutive ,blocks would Gbe found al
ablaze, while the walls remained intact, |
was not IN human strength or skill TO stay

NATION, LII, November li.--The ex-
huning Of a large number Of bones and ac-
coutrements of Indian warfare from "A large
mound near the Ambraw River, eighteen
miles northeast of this city, is causing
great interest among the people Of that
nrighborhood. About a mile from this
mound is another and larger one, and
other excavations will soon be made.
The most authentic tradition con-
ceruing the mounds is that they con-
tain the remains of the Kickapoo and
Crow Indians who fell in a great conflict
that was at one time waged between the5t
two tribes. 1t is thought that the remain
of at least one hundred Inians were foun
in the small excavation made in one of the
mounds, and the work Of tapping the
larger one Is awaited with much interest
lha story OF tradition also claims that tht
savages buried much precious metals anc
coins in that locality, ana this seems al
additional impetus to those who have the
investigation in hand. Near Camargo, II
