PEARLlNGToN, Miss, JAM 3d.
Messrs. Poitevent 81 Faws pla-
Mug Will, including 2,250,600 feet
OF seasoned lumber, was entirely
consumed by fire this morning.
The fire was discovered about 4
O'Clock last evening in Il pile of
lumber about seventy FIVE feet from
their saw mill. The wind being
strong and from the northwest, the
fire travelled its course direct to the
planer, and about Z O'Clock this
morning the whole thing was in one
mass of flames.
Had 1t not been for the untiring
energy of Our citizens aud the as.
sistance from LOgtOwn, their mill,
moss stOrehouse and several dwell
ings would have been in ashes.
Messrs. POitevent & Favre are
well equipped about their mill in
case of fire, having two large
Knowles pumps; besides they had
the assistance of three tugbOats.
The fire is now under control. Their
loss is estimated at $4,000, partly
covered by insurance.
The mill is located within about
fifty feet of the banks of East Pearl
River, which at that point runs
southeast. Below the mill, about
200 yards lower down, was situated
the planning mill, and the distance
between was traversed by a double
track railway used to carry lumber
between the saw mill and plamng
mill or to intermediate points where
it WAS stacked to season. The wind
was blowing down The river and
directly from the saw to tho planning
mill, and the intermediate space
being occupied by pile upon pile
of dry pine and cypress lumber the
FIRE spread rapidly.
The lumber between the saw mill
aud the point at which the fire
originated was moved rapidly as
possible, and owing TO this precau.
ton, the flames having nothing to
feed upon, could not cut their way
up 10 the saw mill, which is one of
the largest and most complete and
costly IN the South. The planning
mill contained two fine planning ma-
chimes. valued ut about $1,000 each,
and these were destroyed with the
mill.
kilograms were sert to Bay st.
Louis Monday night, and Mr.. Toul.
me organized u force of men TO as
sist the people of Logtown and
Pennington in extinguishing the
flames. Division Superintendent
D. NJ. Duun, of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, with his Gus.
temary promptnrSS aud kindness,
pr0ffcIed the use of the New York
limited express train to the relief
force, which offer MS accepted.
This train does not stop at Lookout

engineer to stop and allow the Bay
ST. Louis men TO alisht.
The steamboat Henderson was AT
the station in waiting, and with
these reinfOrcementS FASTENED to

"The title TO land entered as q

government, being the owner OF the
