street, near the corner of Sixteenth
The flames spread rapidly under a
stiff north wind, the gale was blowing
at the rate of thirty miles an hour,
and by O'Clock it had reached
velocity of 60 miles an hour, sending
showers of huge sparks Of fire all over
the city. The fire engines were pow
erless, and the fine and elegant resi-
dences, built of Texas pine, were
licked up quickly. The course of the
fire was about an easterly direction.
Beginning at the foot of Sixteenth
street, the fire crossed avenues G. ID.
and L. 1t burned its way to the post
office, which escaped and passed on
towards the gulf. At avenue |. the

the burned districts were twenty-one
groceries, saloons and small stores.
The only public building consumed
was the second district school house,
a frame structure which cost 5000
The total area of the burned district
is one hundred acres, and forty and
ne-half blocks were swept clean.
Over four hundred houses were burn
ed, and about one thousand families
rendered homeless, great majority
of whom, especially to poorer cnes,
lost everything. The loss is about
S2,500,000, with about 100000 in
surance.

The New York Star sees in the
magnificent victory of the democrats
in Virginia an assurance to the coun-
try that the southern states will not
wayer in their allegiance to the dem
ocratic party or talter in the work of
giving it complete control of the fed
eral government. Maryland also
spoke for the border states to the
same effect, while New York gave
emphatic assurance that democracy
is advancing instead of falling back
in the north. There is Just cause for
patriotic rejoicing in this assurance,
for the democratic party is at present
the only party, having any chance of
success, which is national in charac-
ter and aims and fitted to continue
and complete that work of reunion,
which can never be perfect till the
cry of sectional distrust and hatred is

THE PUBLIC BUILDING.
THE sLowSEss OF THE REPAIRS
And Furnishing of the south wing for the
City omoos-A Good Work Being Done
by the Council Committee Uadsr
Observation-Disclosures of Expense.

The work Of fitting up and furnishing
the south end OF the new Public Building
for occupancy by the various city depart
ments is progressing very slowly. To
those who have occasion to pass through
the building frequently it appears that
this work is progressing much slower than
there is any necessity for. Council left
the matter in the hands Of special COM
mittee composed Of members from both
branches, and Of these members it may be
said that better selections could not have
been made. MIR. VIM. Myles was made
Chairman, and in that capacity exercised
something OF supervision over the men
employed until the time that he resigned
bis seat III the First Branch as member
from the Fifth ward. That resignation
was laid on the table by the Branch.
Since that time Mr.. Myles has not inter
ested himself in the work OF fitting
up and furnishing as formerly, and
the result has not been the best for the
city. True, the other members OF the
Committee have made It point to visit
the place and inspect the work
daily, but not being 80 familiar
with the work as Mr.. Myles, have not
been able to do as much with the men
employed. The committee in making its
purchases and providing for the changes
TO be made, wisely determined to have
everything Of the best, and the re-
suit when the work is done will DO a
most pleasing and gratifying one to every
citizen, or at least it should be, but some
are kicking on the expense. The city
quarters will be as fine as any one could
desire. Councilman Farrell, Of the Fourth
ward, in speaking yesterday Of the
slowness, said: "The great mis-.
take was made in not paying member
Of the committee or some one else salary
to stay there and superintend the work.
You can't expect member to devote all
his time to the city without some compen-
sation. Had there been such man, the
workmeu would have done better work
and it would have been done faster. The
work would not have been as expensive
had there been a head to direct"

Tbs people who have been attending

entertained by the weak attempts on the
part Of Porter Smiths counsel to prevent
the disclosures OF witnesses summoned by
them from having too damaging an effect
on their client. The new sergeant-at. Arms
Of the Committee, Deputy Market Master
William Kenney, was on hand, and as on
the former sittings OF the committee there
were more than twice as many w''iieSSe0
on hand as were examined.
The best outcome OF the evenings pro-
ceedin0s was the assn ance by the prose-
cntion That they would be enabledto finish
their case this evening If they got their
witncs8qs. They did not seem TO want
those who were present last night, and il
