A 100000 LOSS.
Lumber Yards Destroyed by Fire at
Chicago.

Chicago.
4 Chicago dispatch of the 30th saws
The lumber wards of Fitzsimlnons x
Connell and Of +. l. Aver, at the mouth
of the river, We're completely destroyed
by fire tonight. The lens of the Chi
cago lighthouse, on North pier, worth
5000, is thought to be damaged beyond
reclamation.
The fire began on the docks of Fitz-
simmons 4 Connell, contractors, and
quickly spread to the lumber yards of
+. +. Aver 4 Co. and Whitcomb x Co.
All about the locality where the flames
started are vast stretches Of valuable
lumber piles and manufacturing eStab-
lishments. The region is known as the
North Pier. \ wilderness of slips and
wharves rendered the place almost in
accessible for fire engines, but
the tire-boats remedied the diff
Guilty in measure. The scone
OF the fire is penetrated by tracks
of the Chicago x Northwestern Rail
way which crosses the river near by.
Skirting the Northwestern tracks are
the lumber yards of the Peshtigo Com
pany and II. Ptpcke x Co. Between
ten and fifteen acres of lumber were
consumed, with not far from forty
freight ears. The direction of the wind
alone saved the shipping and ware
houses in the vicinity. 1t is estimated
that the total loss will reach 100000.
Five hundred thousand telegraph
poles, q great quantity of railroad ties
and oak plank, besides wharfing ma
terial, several huge store buildings and
a gigantic piledriver, were destroyed.
The principal losers are: Ayer& Co.,

WORK ON THE BIG DITCH.
Operations to be Resumed Soon on the
Panama

PANAMA, July 25.-The only intelli-
gence concerning canal matters that has
been received is to the effect that the
negotiations with the Colombian gov
ernment are going on smoothly. Mean
time Lieut.. Wyse's engineers are push
ing on their preparations here for
an early resumption of work. Their
careful examination of the condition
of the plant has resulted very satistac-
torily, everything being in as good, if
not better, preservation and order than
could have been reasonably expected
The greatest trouble and delay in re-
commencing work will, therefore, not be
due to the condition of the plant but of
the works, which are covered over COM
pletely by Nature s green mantle.
