BIG SAN FRANCISCO FIRE.
. 900, 900 Loss and . 900 Men Throw
Out of Work

On the afternoon of the 9th inst. fire
broke out in the sash and door factory
of Day, Huber & CrageT, on Main Street,
San Francisco. South OF the factory
was three story frame building occu-
pied by the National Iron Works This
was soon DESTROYED. From the iron
works the fire swept across Main Street
TO Nos. i to 1l9, which were occupied
by the Novelty Iron Works and the
Union Fence Company. ] he changing
5ot the wind swervea'- the fire to
tire northeast of the lumber ward s
and it travelled TO the southwest cor
ner of Mission and Spear Street,
des' royIng on its way Joseph Wagner's s
mlllwright and machinery factory, the
American Tool Works. Etna Iron Works
and the Eureka Boiler Works. The in
tense heat caused three-storv frame
building on the northwest corner OF
Spear and Mission Streets TO catch fire
next. 1t was occupied as a saloon, res
taurant and lodging house, and in few
minutes was swept from existence, the
occupants barely escaping with their
lives and saving but little of their eff
fects. On Mission east of Spear, the
flames sprang from house to house and
factory to factory despite tie utmost eff
forts of the fremen until they reached
the west side of East Street. where
the further progress OF the fire was
stayed by the employees OF the Mar
row Guage Railway, who were in
force with the company's hose,
playing heavy stream of water on the
blazing timbers. In its course from
Spear Street east TO San Francisco Bay
the fire consumed all the buildings on
the south side of Mission Street and hall
way down TO Howard Street, few
buildings on North Mission Street from
Spear to the water front also falling vie
tins to the destroying element. The
scorching he at which was well-nigh un-
bearable a block from the fire, caused
several persons to sucCumb, and it was
a common sight to see ladies, fremen
and spectators borne TO places of safety.
Hair breadth escapes were numerous.
The fire swept entirely the three blocks
from Main Stree: to TIE bay, bounded
by Mission on the north and Howard on
the south. Parts Of the blocks on the
opposite sides of Howard and Mission
Streets were also consumed.
The latest estimate places the total
loss at 81 ,O00, 600, with an insurance OF
100000. About 1000 men are thrown
out of employment. One man was
burned to death in the fl irnes

charge of the meeting and one after an
other introduced the distinguished peo-
pie who stood around, the crowd cheer

NEED MORE NURSES.
Many Deaths in Jacksonville Caused
the Ignorance of the Attend ants.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 10.-The
great lack of nurses here IS shown in
the case of the Rev. J. II. Sharp, who
died yesterday. He had no one to
watch over him, save a very ignorant
and inexperienced negress. Yesterday
morning he took hot bath, and then
made her bathe his feet in ice water
and put ice on his neck. she did not
know any better, and he dieC in
an hour. Dozens of such instances
might be mentioned TO prove
that many deaths have been
caused by lack of good nurses. Last
night when the eighteen nurses from
New Orleans arrived there were three
IN five applicants for every one; but
they had to 90 TO the hospitals, and pa
sients sick at their homes will have to
do the best they can until more come.
The mayor of Charleston telegraphs that
corps of experienced nurses is there
ready to come at any moment at
Charleston's expense They were ac
cepted thankfully and 200 more could
be used.
The official bulletin for the twenty
four hours ended at 6 P. NJ, is as follows:
New cases, 30; deaths, 5; total number
of cases 10 date. 632; total number of
deaths to dste, rs.

FIFTY PER CENT.
Exte mt of the Damage to Crops by FIR
in Dakota.

in Dakota.
NEW ROCKFORD, D. T., Sept. 5.-The
weather in Northern Dakota had been
very favorable for all kinds of crops un-
Ill the 18th of August, when a severe
frost fell, running garden vegetables ex-
Cept potatoes-whlch will be two
thirds OF crop-and badly damag-
lng the wheat. Up 10 that
date the outlook was very favorable
and many farmers estimated Dakota s
wheat crop at 81, 100000 OF bushels, but
now all Is changed, and there will be q
small yield OF poor wheat.
In this and he ado ming counties ly-
lng north Of the Northern Pacific Rail
road the damage has been
lncalcutasle. and manv fields that
promised % end % bushels
% the acre Will not he cut at all
On the other hand there are some fields
Of good wheat, especially those which
were sown early. and for some inexpli
cable cause were untouched by the frost
The matter is worse because there was
so much wheat that was planted very
late, and was hardly out OF the milk
when the frost fell. The land
Is generally prepared in the fall for
spring sowing, but owing to the immense
amount of threshing last season,
and the dry weather, a large area of
and was ploughed in the spring, and
on that ground the crop is generally
poor
can give no correct idea of the geo.
graphical extent of the frost belt, but
understand that it was felt with more or
less severity throughout Dakota andMin-
Hesota. it did less damage in Southern
Dakota, Of course, for the reason that
seeding Is done there earlier than it is
here, and many fields must have been
too far advanced to be serious Y injured.
From a somewhat extensive personal
oBse yation, and from what can learn,
estimate the loss at fully 30 per cent.
IS compared with what the crops prom
isgd on the first day of August. In this
rough estimate / take into the account
the deterioration of the grade as well
ss the total loss of some fields, and the
PER centage OF loss on what is thTeshed
and marketed
The oats suffered less than the wheat,
an the crop will be the largest ever
grown in the territory. Hay is abund-
ant, and of an excellent quality.

fairs there to his paper. The camp is on
a hill, he says, fine and airy spot, SUR
rounded with pines. There are 132 old
army tents with two stTetcher cots in
each. y band OF canvas, raised on two
elevated wires, serves for a pillow and
orse rug for a cover. To the men are
given single, and to the women
double blanket each. This is
all the furniture in the tents, and as
there are two cots in each, there is no
room for more. Ninety per cent. of
these tents are leaky. The food is fair,
but the cooking wretched, and the
dining accommodations are not half
sufficient There is very large crowd
