Our eonfrere Of the Weekly Louisiana Re
view says that the showing made by the dali
lles OF New Orleans in their uniformly well
gotten up September editions, is highly en
couraging The facts and figures given show
progress in every branch of business and ia
dustsy. Coupling this with the increase of
absut thirty millions in assessed valuation of
property in the State, during the past year,
40 doubt remains that New Orleans and
Louisiana in general have entered into new
era of prosperity and development. We need
but to let the world know of our wonderful
resources and attractions and to continue to
invite immigration to our borders and we will
soon get a leading place in the procession.

The Granite house, an old and well

ed by fire last evening, Tho fire was
one OF the most exciting ever expert
enced in this part Of the country, many
OF the boarders in the hotel having
thrilling narrow escapes from the burn
ing building,
The fire early in its progress caught
the stairway and cut of egress from the
building, so that the only means Of es-
cape for the guests in the top story was
by way Of the third story window and
down q ladder, Several ladies had their
hair badly scorched by the flames in
making their escape,
The building was entirely destroyed,
1t is estimated that the loss will reach
s, 900,
The flames originated from an incuba.
tor used To hatch chickens, which was
kept in the basement, and which became
overheated,
In addition TO those who came down
the ladders, several men were caught so
close by the flames that they did not
have time to wait for ladders, but had
to leap from tho third story windows,
They were fortunately not seriously hurt,
The Granite house was very old

kept by John Lauck, formerly Of Beth.

The idea OF the members Of the commit.

YHR SURVEYORS AT WORK.
Getting the Bearings for the
New Island Bridge,
AT LEAST PEOPLE SAY so,
Though the Engineers Themselves
Profess Not to Know What. They
are Doing 1t For-Lots Of
Speculation Caused.

Two years ago or SO the ISTELLlGEN-
CIR printed the facts about project as
It then existed to build another wagon
and foot bridge across the river from a
point near Eleventh street to the Island,
At longer or shorter intervals since, sub
stantially the same project has been re-
vived aud agitated, Lately 1t bobbedup
serenely again. This time assurances
are given that ut means business" and
net long ago the ISTELLlGESCRR was as
suEed that q corps Of engineers would be
here before many days 10 make the pre-
liminary surveys for the bridge.
Yesterday corps OF engineers were
engaged in surveying tue shores and
river ut Eleventh street, Lines were run
from Eleventh and Main streets TO the
river bank, up and down the river from
the suspension bridge 70 Twelfth street,
and across the river to q point between
the residences Of Squire W. II, CSld-
well and Dir, Zane, The report was at
once spread that the survey was for the
protected bridge. A good sized crowd
OF gentlemen OF leisure observed the
operations all day, and discussed the
feasibility OF the project.
Objection on the score OF navigation,
OF cost, OF location and OF a hundred
other things, volunteered by interested
spectators, were promptly argued OFT OF
existence by other interested spectators.
1t was decided that the bridge could be
built, that 1t would be built, that II
would be a paying investment, and that
1t presented no obstacles not overcome
when the Suspension bridge was built,
Then 1t was decided by others that legal
distractions which could not DO sur
mounted, engineering difficulties APP
parent to those Of this way OF thinking,
large cost and little income, would pre-.
vent the building Of bridge there.
Finally one gentleman OF leisure an
noun ed that tho survey was not for q
bridge; that the line across the river was
merely for purposes OF triangulation,
This was promptly set down on tho sur
veyors had driven stakes west on the Is
land TO Penn street. That settled II;
they located the Island approach,
An INTELLIdESCER reporter approach:
ed the engineer In charge and asked
him II he was surveying for bridge.
~ can't tell you that" said he.
He was asked II the gentlemen whom
report connects with the bridge scheme
were having the survey made,
mo, sir; ] don't know them In 1t, at
least. am employed by Pittsburgh
parties to make surveys covering GER
tain given points and showing certain
distances; That's all | can tell you
about Il" :"
There can be no doubt, however, that
the survey is made to secure data con-
corning bridge atthat point, TheloCa'
ton offers about as good q landing on
each shore as those ofthe Suspension
bridge were naturally. The gossip and
speculation will not be set at rest finally,
however, for several moons 10 come.

the noise and confusion were such as
