FIRE IN A FLOUR MILL,
The Elevator and Several Adjoining
Buildings Also Burned.

The Elevator and Several Adjoining
Buildings Also Burned.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25.-A special to the Post
Dispatch from Edwardsvile, ILL.,. says: "a
disastrous confagration occurred here early
this morning, entailing a loss Of about
100000. The fire started in the warehouse
of Keller Bros mill, and almost simultaue-
ously flames were seen issuing from the ele-
vator building. When discovered the fire
had gained considerable headway, and the
mill was also on fire before the department
reached the scene.
AID FROM ST. LOUIS.
"Mavor Glass telegraphed to st. Louisfor
aid, and Chief Lindsay sent an engine, but
the mill property was doomed, and when
the elevator fell it communicated the
flames to the residence and saloon of Joseph
Blickett, then to the blackSmithing shop of
Phillip Wenner and then to Henry Brink
mans two-story store and tenement building
all of which were badly damaged or totally
gutted, and for time it looked as though
the business portion of the town was
doomed. After almost superhuman efforts
the firemen succeeded in checking the
flames, and the losses will be confined to the
property mentioned, amounting in all to
about s300.000, about $3.50, 900 of which is
upon the mill, elevator, warehouses and
their contents, which is about half covered
by insurance There is no satisfactory
theory for the cause Of the fire."

Gardeners say that the rains affected the

Of the berries offered was very fine.
Florida berries are still being transferred
in carload lots by steamer, but the fruit is

earlier shipments.
But few Savannah berries go north, as
truck farmers here have not yet taken hold
OF the strawberry in earnest, and the home
demand exceeds the supply, Savannah hav-

Florida and Cuba.

anu 1UD6s
DR.. W. F. Brunner. health officer, has
returned from a pleasant trip throughout
Florida and to Havana, and In an interview
last night with MORNING NEWS reporter,
DR.. Brunner expressed himself as favorably
impressed with his visit not only on account
OF the signal courtesy and hospitality ex-
tended the party Of seven santtarians and
health officers. but with the cleanliness and
sanitary precautions in many of the Flori-
da cities and towns visited
DR.. Brunner says that as the visit was
made on the invitation Of the Florida legis-
lature he does not feel that il would be
courteous TO anticipate the sanitary report
which himself and the other members Of the
party joined in signing to be presented to
that body, and which he says should have
REACHED Tallahassee yesterday.
Without maging invidious comparisons,
however, DR.. Br1nuer says it is a great
mistake to suppose that many of the Florida
towns are not in excellent sanitary condi-
tion, and some OF them, he added, are most
attractive places inviting to those in quest
OF bsaithful and favorable locality for
homes
OF st. Augustine DR.. Bruuner speaks in
the most complimentary way. and he ex-
presses the opinion that it is one of the most
sanitary cities Of the south and destined to
DO one Of the principal cities of Florida, if
not the leading city OF the state With i'm
provements to the harbor he predicts a
wonderful growth to a city whore the best
sanitary conditions are notice BILE.

Drummer says there arc no cleaner vessels on
the high ssas. The party OF sanitariaas ac-
cepted the hospitality Of the Plant Com
pany and visited Havana, arriving thore in
the morning, but for sanitary reasons the
steamer left the port be ore nightfall.
Among the visitors sOutp were presidents
Of the board Of health Of Pennsylvania d
Maryland, and the editor Of tho .Sdnitdrian
and local health officers OF southern cities.
The party did not come back via Savannah,
but welt over the East Teinessee, Virginia
and Georgia to Atlanta.

special report to the health committee of
the council, and he replied that it is bis
Intention to do so. He has b bsen absent
