Slight Losses.
About ? O'Clock yesterday afternoon
bale of cotton in the cotton pickery of
Floyd & Bro. No. 1S2 Bay street, was dis
covered on fire. The bale was in pile
with other cotton, which almost imme-
diately burst into a blaze. An alarm was
quickly turned in from box -. The
flames spread rapidly through the build
ing. and although the Fire Department
responded promptly ana was soon at
work. the upper floors, occupied by Floyd
Il Bro. were completely Quilted.
The building is a iOur-stOry brick aud
stone structure on the west side of the Bar
uard streetslip and fronting on River street
and the Market dock. The first and sec
Ond stories fronting on the dock and River
street are occupied by y. Paulsen Il Co.,
wholesale grocers, liquor dealers and ship
chambers. The other two stories 'front.'
inc on Bay street were occupied by Floyd
Il Bro. The latter firm had about 50
bales of cotton slowed in their part of the
building. 40 OF which were burned.
Paulsen Il Co. had about $4,000 worth
II goods in stock. While the fire engines
were playing on the burning cotton in the
upper stories the water flowed in i'm
mense volumes upon these goods, which
we're more or less damaged. They had
$, 900 insurance on their stock, placed in
companies represented by John f.

are unable vet 10 estimate their loss,
which, however, Will be fully covered by
insurance.

A SCRAMBLE FOR HIGH PRICES.
The Hard Time the Government Has
When it Wants a Piece of Ground.

The Hard Time the Government Has
When it Wants a Piece of Ground.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.--The govern
ment has hard time Of it in dealing with
the Washington public. Whenever a
public building is to be erected there be-
gins a scramble among real estate men
and property owners for some particular
location. Congressional committees are
besieged not only by those who have
ground to sell, but by those who wish to
prevent other locations from being
chosen. AS soon as it is whispered that
such or such a square is to be favored
every owner and dealer concerned in pro-
perty on that square runs up his price
from % to 100 per cent. above the market
value.
There is just such a scramble now over
the site of the proposed new city post Of
fee. TO prevent the eXOrbitant demand
that is usually made the joint committee
managed to ascertain privately what the
property on the square west of the Post
Office Department building could be pur-
chased for. and on this an estimate was
made that it could be had for about $780,
600. AS soon as it had been published
that this site was selected, the owners
began running up their figures, until now
1t would COS: a round million to buy it
at their valuation. The same thing oc-
cured with reference to the proposed
new library building, and the same thing
occurs every time the government wants
ground anywhere. This personal greed
forced the National Museum into the
Smithsonian grounds, where its Moorish
architecture contrasts ridiculOusly with
the pure Norman of the institution, and
drove the new pension office into another
reservation called judiciary square. 1t
has also defeated both the library and
most office for this CONGRESS.

Excitement Caused by the Story of Tw'
Sailors Who Slept In the Building.

Sailors who Slept In the Building.
BOSTON, Feb. S.-The congregation in
the old Baptist Bethel Church on HanO-
yer street tonight became so excited over
the intelligence that the edifce is the
abode of ghosts that but few entered into
the devotional exercises with the usual
zeal. The pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Cooke,
and the sexton heard the news first, and
it spread like wildfre over the north end.
A band Of stout-hearted Christians has
been organized, and tonight they are
staying in the church awaiting the APP
partition.
The rumOrs originated as follows: The
new law regulating sailors boarding
houses has had a very disastrous effect
on the sailors interests, and several OF
them have been left in this city utterly
destitute. The Baptist Bethel has been
for years Sailors Mission to great ex-
tent, and it opened its doors to shelter the
sufferers. Saturday night two sailors slept
in the society room, which is between the
basement aud the main floor. They say
that before midnight they were awakened
by loud noise in the basement. 1t
sounded as though three or four men were
pounding on the furnace. Then the noises
char ged and they could hear the visitors
saving and splitting wood. One of the
sailors shouted that there was plenty OF
wood upstairs. The noise then stopped
there, but commenced in the body of the
church and extended to the vestry, where
the settees were apparently being thrown
abOutin confusion.
The sailors crept noiselessly upstairs,
but when they reached the door the noise
stopped. They went back to the society
room, but slept little during the rest of
the night. When the sexton arrived they
were very much agitated. After they had
told their story a careful examination OF
the premises was made, and everything
in the basement and upstairs was found
just as it had been the evening before.
The sailors were sober and were anxious
for a watch to be kept tonight. Their
story is generally believed.
