How Chandler Was Saved.

GUTHRIE, o. T, Oct. 26.-Prairie fires
are raging all over the Territory, but so
far as known no lives are lost. Reports
from all important points say that
the loss so far as hay and grain is
concerned is immense. Mr.. C. f. Hunter,
editor of the Chandler News, arrived to-
day and reports that the whole population
of that town turned out and fought the fire
for twenty-four hours, and succeeded in
saving the town A farmer named Smith,
living three miles from this place, lost
all his horses and cattle bat saved his
house From the high ground in this city
the fire can be seen in every direction, but
there is no prospect of the people being
burned, for in most places fire guards have
been placed around all the buildings by
blowing the land and burning the grass.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 26-The Louis
vile and Nashville railroad has ceased run
ming its trains over the sinking lands at the
French market, and stop about a mile and a
half from the regular depot. The Southern
Pacific is still running its trains over the
dangerous spot, but at the slow rate of two
miles an hour, so as to cause no iarring. and
will continue to do SO as long
as possible. The sinking of the land
continued to-day and it has now reached
the level of the water in the river. A con-
ference of the state and city engineers and
railroad superintendent took place to-day
to devise or suggest means to meet the
present emergency. The oyster boats and
dealers are heavy sufferers, as the caving in
OF the oyster landing leaves them without
any regular landing. and they can find no
other convenient place at which to unload
their cargoes.

1.-THE small plan showing the entire
site, with permanent hall in the center,
with passages on each side connecting
with passage in the rear. has not vet
been adopted, but would give an attract
i've feature and allow of entrances and
show windows in both front and rear of
stores facing WabaSha and st. Peter
streets, which, with the better light,
would amply repay for the loss of depth
IN the stores. and would still be as deep
as the average stOrerOom. The passage
in the rear could be used for a carriage
entrance and give a porte cochere $50
feet long, which would be on a level Of

lOrS. etc.
Any one acquainted with the Audi

our auditorium superior to either in en-
frances and exits, particularly for car

main floor, and IN the balcony and gal
lerieS, have been carefully planned so
as TO give view for the immense audi
ence tor which it is designed, equal to
that in any theater of any size in the
country. The shape of the auditorium

this was promptly discarded as an un.
necessary size. 1t was his purpose to
use a great deal of the present struct-
ure by strengthening it with iron posts.
thereby not employing any more new
work on the temporary structure, or
the auditorium for the convention than
IS absolutely necessary. He provided
1,S4S opera chairs for delegate purpose
to the convention, and then follows
a series of temporary chairs for the
multitude of politicians Immediately
behind and encircling the dele
gates seats. None of the dele
gates would be over 100 feet from
the speaker. In addition to the ground
floor two galleries were planned. The
plan provides for an iron and terra Gotta
structure, reasonably fre-proof, and all
the iron and terra Gotta work is so
projected as to form part Of the per-
manent structure. A permanent audi
forum is planned to seat 5000, and it
can be so changed as to increase it
somewhat. but the committee felt that
1t would be unnecessary. The tempo
rary structure, Mr. Jay explained,
would cost only $4,000. and would be
in readiness for the national convention
June l. One of the leading contractors
and builders of the city has figured
out every detail, and offers to give
bonds to effect the work for the $50, goo.
The first gallery is to seat &, 400, and
the second gallery about tWo-thirds as
many more. When it comes to change
to permanent structure, store rooms
on both WabaSha and st. Peter streets
