LAREno, Tx, Feb. 13.-The heavy
dry goods and general merchandise es-
tsblishmsnt of Thomas O'Connor in New
Laredo was totally destroyed by fire this
afternoon between and z O'Clock. The
alarm was given, and crowds flocked to
the scene, hundreds going from this eide,
but as there was no system in the manner
in which they endesvored to fight the
flames the total stock was q complete
loss. The town had no fire compsuy, no
water works, and NO means of getting
the water from the river, coDse quently
nothing could be done except to keep the
FIRE from spreading. The house was enc
of the largest in the city, the stock being
valued at about s75, 900. ~, 1t is q
total les. Not thiog was saved.
The safe door was left open and all the
books, papers, etc were burned therein.
G.. Holck & Co., who occupied the
NORTH half Of the block moved the greater
part of their goods into the street, and
the loss ia estimated, from breakage to
be about Sl5, 900
Morris & Co., large dry goods house
also lost about $1,000. In damaged
goods.
On the Holck stock there was no insur-
ance.
Morris & Co. were insured.
The building, which was brick, Is
total LOSE, and upon it there was no in
surauce. Il was valued at slo,oeo, and
WAS owned by the Mllmo brothers OF
Lsredo and Monterey.
O'COnnor was insured in six different
companies to the amount Of S21 100, the
following beirg the compsri s:Liverpool,
London and Globe, $4,000; Pelican,
S2500; Home, Of New YOfs, $4,000; Fire
Assurance, of Philadelphia, $4,000; Hart
ford, $3.50; American Insurance Com
pany, $4,000.
II is thought these policies are de-
stroyed.
The hre originated by match being
thrown under barrel Of alcohol which
was leaking and immediately iguited, ex-
ploding and wrapping the building in
h4mss.

MRS. LANGTRY's BONANZA.

She Borss for Water and Strikes Silver.
CARSON, Nav, Feb. 13-Some two
months ago contractors in boring an ar
tesian well for Mrs Lsngtry, the actress,
near the foot Of the mountain where the
North Carson mine is located, came upon
o formation of rock which lay between
clay walls. This formation WAS 50 hard
that the drill bounded up and it required
seven feet of drilling to penetrate and
reach under the clay wall. When the de-
bris Of the rocG came out it attracted
the attention of the bUrers. A few
ounces Of the rock were taken to the
Bullion and Exchange Bsnk, where it
was sssayed. The assay was $50 to the
ton Of rich silver ore. Since then experts
have been making examinations, seeking
tt trace the ledge to its groupings and
determine the character Of the increasing
wall. The discoveries last week seem to
show that the ledge runs sill the wsy
from seven to 120 feet thick. The tx
citement over the discovery is now great,
and it is probable much of the ledge
Iuns through Mrs Lsngtry's land. Sne
bored for water and struck silver.
