twenty Houses Burned at New

NORFOLK, Va, July 27.-[SpecialI-
A confiagration, originating in the ex.
plosion of lamp in Halls store, started
at Newport News at 1880 Saturday
night, destroying twenty-seven business
houses and for time seriously threat
ened to wipe out Of existence this
thriving little town.
A strong wind was blowing at the
time and owing to the lack of fire de-
partment, but little could be done to
subdue the flames. The flames, how
ever, were gotten under control about
daylight.
The houses burned were owned by the
following parties: D. S. Jones, six
stores and dwellings,; Mrs. Weaver,
Barkley & Williams, C. w. Cake, r.
Timberlake, A. G. Harwood, ]. D. Rich
ardson, James Carr, Mears e Islin, Nc
Alpin 81 Son, stores; Mrs. Moss, j. H..

The Washington House was also to-
tally destroyed. The total loss is esti-
mated at $50, 900; insurance, $40, 900.
During the fire Miss McAlpin, an in
valid, was with great difficulty rescued
from a burning building. The shock
was so great. however, that she died
shortly afterwards.

PARIS, July 27.-Ispeciall-A dis
patch just received from the scene of
last nights fearful collision between
excursion trains near Salnte Mande re.
presents the accident as having been
oven of more distressing character
than at first appeared. After the fear
full crash the train caught fire and those
unfortunates who were hopelessly
wedged in tho debris were slowly
roasted.
Many of the poor creatures were so
placed that for many agonizing momen 9
they were forced to look upon death
remorsely burning its way to them.
All that humanity could do to extri-
cate them from a situation not to be do
scribed by language was done. but in
most instances to no avil. The ave.
stricken n ultitude were compelled to
sand helplessly by and listen to tho
awful din made by the cracking flames,
the falling iron work OF the burning
cars and the shrieks, means and prayers
OF the doomed. Occasionally a voice
would raise itself above the tumult sup
pl eating the merciful to kill the un-
happy speaker and put him out of his
pin. In rambler of instances men
ana women were seen laughing. gibber-
ing and iiinging their arms wildly about.
Fear had dcthroncd their reason.
PARIS, July 27.-lSpec;al Late re.
ports say that 200 people were either
killed or injured by yesterdays collision
at ST. Mando. 1t was most terrible
affair. The engine OF ono of the excur-
sion trains telescoped three carriages
loaded with eXcursionists and at tho
samo time tho reservoir Of gas on the
damaged train exploded and set fire to
tho wreckago while scores of people
were pinioned down wounded and help-
less beneath the ruins Of the three car
riages.
In very short time the flames spread
to such an extent that numbers Of the
wounded were slowly roasted to death
before the eyes of those who were doing
their utmost to rescue them. Many of
tho unfortunate people imprisoned be-
meath tho wreck were drowned, while
partly roasted, by firemen who were
summoned to the scene, and after de-
lay Of forty minutes poured in such
| torrent OF water that they drowned
many persons.
AN awful spectacle is presen ted at
tho town hall of Sainte Mande, where
the charred and terribly dishgured
bodies of tho dead lie in rows upon the
floor and tables. In some cases tho re-
mains are but little moro than heaps of
cinders.

About midnight James Ii. Fletcher, OF
Rappahannock county, challenged the.
veracity OF j. L. Beckman, prominents

The affair had its origin in an attempt
upon tho part of some one to defame the

who is among the many summer board.
erS here Miss Hester was Il witness to
the alteration between Fletcher and

Young Fletcher was fined Sl1 for the

DELAWARE PEACHES nLrGHrEp.
Failure OF the Crop in New Castle, Kent
and Sussex.

WILMINGTON, July Premature
peaches are causing quite commotion
among the growers of this peninsula and
many are disheartened. The latest re-
port from the peach belt is that the
premature condition is spreading rapid
ly. In lower New Castle and in Kent
add Sussex counties tho varities now
riponing arc from three to four weeks
ahead of their usual time, and in most
cases arc unfit to market.
w. PIERCE Briggs, OF this county, has
an orchard of $500 trees and he offers
Sloo to any man who can pick one
basket OF good peaches Off the entire
lot. Jon +. Salisbury. in Kent county,
has orchards similarly affected, and in
Sussex tho blight is extending to the
later varieties. Yellows, OF course, has
something to do with this condition of
affairs, but the main cause is attributed
to the peaches being so thickly set that
there is no possibility of the maturing.
