A Scene of Terror.

Tongues of flame shooting POO feet
and more straight into the heavens.
the shrieks and agonizing cries of the
helpless human beings Gagged in their
dwellings like rats in a trap in the
middle of the rushing and mighty
water and within the very shadow of
death from burning oil, benzine and
naptha that threatened at any time to
engulf them, the shrill whistling of a
hundred and one steam whistles, the
jangle of the fire bell, the clatt.r of
the steamers, hose carts and hook and
ladder trucks, the crackle, roar, rush
and rumble of the huge body of water
and sky-piercing flame all went to
strike terror to the strongest heart.
1t is impossible to give an estimate
as to the number missing. 1t runs
into the hundreds and without doubt
fully double the number enumerated
above will be found dead. The night
is dark and rainy, yet the streets are
filled with people.

Came When all Were Sleeping
This sudden avalanche of water de-
scending when most of the inhabitants
were sleeping, completely and at once
shut them off from the higher portions
OF tbs city. Notwithstanding this
state of affairs, the danger to the city
was urderrated, no one having the
slightest idea that the flood, dangerous
as it was, was to be soon augmented
by fire. This, however, was true, for
at 2 o'clock this morning Immediately
following three terrific explosions
which shook the city to it's centre, a
great light went up from the direction
OF the Crescent refinery, located on the
north side of the creek in the east end
and owned by John Schwartz G. Co. A
second look showed the entire plant to
be one vast sheet of solid fame, the
light from which Illuminated full
half mile of surrounding blackness
and showed to the assembly of horri-
fed spectators the full extent of the
great calamity that had befallen their
beautiful city.

$1,000, 900 while hundreds OF families
are tonight homeless. The fire start
ed in q saloon at Main and Cliff streets
at $40 this morning and in short
time the entire town was in ashes.
The fire swept up Chimney gulch be-
fore a strong wind, and house after
house took fire and added to the blaze.
The dry wooden houses, cabins,
burned like kindling and the air was
filled with a dense smoke and innum-
cradle sparks. The gulch was like
furnace and the frightened citizens
were driven before the flames like
frightened sheep.
Owing to the large number of sa-
looms in camp liquors were free and
hundreds of men took advantage of it
and filled themselves, with the natur-
al consequence of drunken crowd
who have SO far done no damage.
Some acts of thieving have taken
place and already two buildings are
illed with arrested parties.

Brainered and Bettse's hotel south

nearly 1000 feet. and including build
ings on First and Mesa streets and on
both hills, were burned to the ground.
The fire started from an explosion of
coal Oil in the Kinneavy block. The
terrible heat and close proximity of all
the buildings to each other soon car
ried the flames through the length of
the gulch and then spread to the hills
on each side, fully 100 feet each way.
The insurance will be about 5000, 900.

At o'clock this morning the dams at

down Oil creek, overhowing its banks
and flooding the city as far north as
Spring street, extending south half a
mile inundating large portion of the
city. 1t is estimated that thirty-five

large refineries caught fire. The
burning oil foated down the stream

twenty-five dwellings and business

An Unknown Offers to Deliver UP the

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2.-Chief OF
Police Caster Saturday received letter
from what is supposed to be the Malta.
The letter was enclosed in an old en-
velope, with skull and cross bones on
1t. 1t was sent from the New Orleans
pos otfice, and an air of mystery hangs
about it. The writer is not KIN own, but
invest cations will be set on foot to find
him, and matters will be pushed until
he is discovered. Nunez, the writer,
appears to live in this city, and has con-
nections in st. Louis. Following is the
letter:

To Chief of Police Caster:
Strive have in our possession Judge
Mari. VIII deliver him in your hands for
$500, or will lberate him for 800. We
will send you his old clothes, ETC., such as
we found on his person, but bear in mind,

his body will be riddled with shot, then

Shot in the Mouth.

says the Kentuckian was oarelessly
handling a revolver Saturday, when
one of the chambers was discharged.
The ball took effect in the mouth of

near by, passing out behind the ear,
The wound is very serious one, but
not necessarily fatal. Butler claims
he thought the pistol empty and that
the affair was purely accidental.
