SAvANNAH GA, April Tat 6:55 o'clocl
last night q fire broke ont in Hogan's dr.,
goods store, corner Of Broughton and Bar
nard streets. Soon the fire had run I,
almost every part OF the building, and thos
in 1t had barely time to escape with thei
lives.
The fire communicated to the crockery
store OF Jas. 81. Douglas & Co., immedi
ately east Of Hogan's, and it was ablase il
o short time. This building was one Of th.
finest business blocks in the city, and it'd
destruction represents loss, with con
tents, Of $150,00O.
The fire then jumped to the magnificent
four-story brick building known as the Odd
Fellows hall. 1t was totally destroyed. II
represents loss OF $125, 900. The second
and third stories and the basement OF the
brick dwelling Immediately west OF this hall
we're also destroyed, at q loss OF $4,000 to
SIC, 900.
The fire next went from the corner OF
Barnard and State streets, through twelve
or fifteen brick dwelling houses, completely
destroying them. They represent loss OF
SIC, 900, including contents.
THE AIR WAS FILLED WITH SPARES,
one OF which lodRde on the steeple OF the
Independence Presbyterian church, corner
OF Bull and Broad streets, for or five blocks
from the starting point Of the fire. The
church was totally destroyed, as was also
it's handsome brick Sunday school building
and four or five contiguous dwellings. The
city has only four fire engines and all were
needed in the business part Of the city. No
attempt was made to fight the fire at the
church. The loss on the church, chapel and
contents SIC, 900; loss on dwellings in. the
vicinity at least $85, 900.
In the meantime the fire had communi-
Gated to the cupola on the large four-story
building used as store for paints, oils and
builders materials by Andrew Hanley.
The loss on the building and contents was
probably $4,000.
Across the street from this was the hand
some new brick arsenal OF the Savannah
Guards Battalion, which was totally de.
stroyed. It represents loss OF fully
ss5, 900:
LOSSES MILLION AND HALF. :,
Ton or fifteen wooden dwellings were also
burned, on which the loss is probably
Sic, 900.
Charleston and Macon were asked to
send engines.
The total loss will doubtless reach ST.
500, 900. The insurance will be much less.
At midnight the fire was under control.
IN addition to the buildings already men.
;ioned, the fire swept away all the struc.
lures on each side OF Whitaker street be-
;ween York and South Broad. They were
lot fine buildings. but will probably add
s26 600 to the losses mentioned in earlier
dispatches. The fire also swept along the |
lorth side OF Broad from Whitaker east
o within one house OF Bull street. No loss
4 life has been reported yet, and no cas-
lalties.
Neighboring cities promptly started fire |
but were turned back before |
eaching here. The later estimates of the |

A NEEDED REST +.
The President : Elect Left
Alone For One Day.
MORE CABINET SPECULATION
Window Possibility, Warner Mil
Ter Probability and Noble
Certainty.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
INDIANAPOLIS, February 17.-This has
been quiet Sabbath and General Har.
rison had day of needed rest. Around
the hotels and on the streets the chief
talk has been the visit of Window, and
opinions vary as to whether he is to 60
into the Cabinet. Leading Republicans
here have predicted that the appoint
ments would array Congressman Burrell
in opposition to the Administration, and
that the fight would be lively. There is
less talk to-day of Warner Miller going
into the Cabinet than yesterday, but
quite number positively assert that he
will be one of the eight. They do not
pretend to assign him to any
specific place, but the intimations are that
it will be the Department Of Justice. 1t
was rumored last night that Noble; of
Missouri, who has been mentioned for
cabinet place, was in the city yesterday
and called upon General Harrison, but
nothing certain can be obtained in re-
gard to it, as the rumor will neither be
affirmed or denied at the Generals house.
1t is pretty generally conceded here to.
day that Noble will be member of the
cabinet. Leading Democrats here are
to criticize very severely the
makeup of the cabinet so far as it has
been announced. Their criticisms are
mainly directed at Window, Wanna
maker and Noble. The great majority
of Republicans express themselves as
highly pleased.

from the County Jail, where he served
term for larceny. He is good ap-
pearing young man, neatly dressed, and
much superior in intelligence to the ma
jority Of his class. There are three
charges against him. He broke into a
room at the Natick and at the Cosmopoli-
tan and also into a Los Angeles street
clothing store. At the Natick he stole a
valuable overcoat. and from the store he
and his partner made off with about
three hundred dollars worth of stuff.

Reduction of Rates Demanded.

SAN Francisco, February 1.-THE
San Francisco Wine Dealers Association
had addressed an open letter to the
members of the Transcontinental Asso-
ciation, in which it demanded reduc-
tion of the existing freight rates on Cali
fornia wines and brandies in glass. The
reason given is that California wines ore
being shipped to Eastern and European
markets, where itis doctored, diluted and
x6ut upon the market as poor article.
In order to expose the fraud OF these un'
scrupulous dealers, it will be necessary
to bottle the wine in California, and
enter it in direct competition, but this
could not be done under existing freight
rates.

NATURAL GAS.
A Big Strike Made In the SAINT
Paula DietrlCt.

A Big Strike Made I'm the Santa
Paula District.
Mr.. W. L. Hardison, of Santa Paula,
the head of the Hardison-Stewart Oil
Company, arrived in town on Thursday
night and took up quarters at the West
minister. Hearing that there had been a
big strike of natural gas during the past
few days in the region where the
wells Of his company are located, a
HERALD man called on him yesterday
and broached the subject. eyes," said
Mr.. Hardison, "your information is per-
fectly correct. In boring in Well 81, in
Adams CaiIon, west of the Santa Paula
creek, we struck, at depth of 600 feet,
a burst of natural gas that eclipses any
thing I have yet seen in the California
oil districts. We have had the gas in our
section for some time past in Well No. 16,
which has thus far supplied the fuel for all
our machinery, lights. ETC., but this
new strike beats old No. 16 by 100 per
cent. We are still boring, but as to the
prospects for further developments l
have nothing to say-let the well speak
for itself"
"Has this strike anything to do with
the Pittsburg deal?" asked the scribe.
"No; we have made no negotiations
with anyone regarding transfer of our
property. I do not know where the we'll
is that was alluded to as having been
struck near Los Angeles, any more than
you do. 1 see that Mr.. Ashburner is
coming out as an expert, and will proba-
bly, be here in a day or two. had a
personal acquaintance with him in Penn
sylvania some time past, when he was
engaged by the State as a
geologist. He is a well. quail
fed expert, and is the pre-
parer of the report to the Commission
appointed by the Senate of Pennsylvania
regarding the oil-bearing rocks of the
Keystone State. hope there is some
thing in the rumor of the deal, as the
syndicate reported to be making the
negotiations is said tu be very wealthy,
and the more capital interested here the
better"
THE DEAL UNDER WAY.
Later on the HERALD man, in looking
over the real estate transfers, noticed
that there was quite movement going
on in the Temple Oil claims. Inquiry
developed that overtures have been with
a view to purchasing both the Towsley
and Temple oil lands, which are
24O acres in extent, and are
located in the San Fernando hills.
The attempt to obtain them is being
made by San Francisco man who an
nounces himself as the agent for Penn
sylvania syndicate, presumably the one
which has commissioned Mr.. Ashburner.
OIL STRIKE AT WHITTIER.
The news is received here of strike
of oil at Whittier on Mr.. Chandler

and it's owner claims that it is a seventy
