A FLORIDA HOTEL FIRE.

men.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, March 15.-Fire
broke out at 80 o'clock this morning In
the Duval hotel, corner Of Forsyth and
Hogan streets. The hotel accommodates
about 100 guests. The clerk says there
were about seventy in the house last night.
The fire was a stubborn one and 1t took
until o'clock this morning to get IL COM
pletely under control The fire was con-
fined to the hotel structure, although at
times the dwellings on the north and west
were In danger. 1t was dead calm with a
heavy fog, which was favorable to the fire.
men. The fire caught in dead ROOM on
the third floor, an apartment without win
dows, and used for storing carpets and
furniture. How It caught is unknown.
ESCAPE OF THE GUESTS.
IL was nearly half an hour from the time
the alarm was given until the flames first
appeared. but the building was completely
filed with smoke, and it was with great
difficulty that the guests saved any of their
effects. There was nothing approaching a
panic among the inmates. Including the
guests and help there were about sixty
five persons in the hotel and everybody
got out uninjured. One man, an employe, APP
peared at a third story window after every
body was supposed to be out and was about
to jump TO the pavement, but was dissuaded
from doing so. and minute or two later a
ladder was run up to him.
THE DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING.
The building was completely gutted aud
the roof and walls Of the west wing tumbled
in. The property, including furniture, was
valued at S45, ,000 and was owned by J. L.
Turner Of Bronson, Fla. Very little of this
furniture was saved. Mr.. Turner
had SIS 900 insurance on the property,
$500 on the building and 1880 on the
furniture, iu the following companies: Liv-
erpool aud London and Globe, $4,000; !;
Etna, $500; Western Of Toronto, 81 500; ;
Queens, $4,000. 8. H. Peck, lessee Of the
property and manager of the hotel, had
$1,000 worth OF property in the house. His
insurance is 1000 In the Esna. The hotel
will probably not be rebuilt this season.

AN EXPLOSION AT PARIS.
A Dynamite Bomb Exploded ct q
Barracks.


PARIS. March 15.-It is very evident that
the anarchists, or whoever it was who stole
dynamite cartridges from the Seine quar-
rles, are enieavoring TO inauyurats a reign
OF terror in this city, and to Judge from the
CONSERVATION that prevails In certain quar-
ters 1t is also evident that they ars succeed
ing. 1t does not OF course follow that all
explosions that have recently occurred
we're caused by stolen cartridges, but there
Is no doubt that the anarchists have large
quaniitg OF dynamite that the police in their
raids have not succeeded In capturing. -Be-
tween and O'Clock this morning terrific
explosion occurred at the Lebau
barracks, occupied by the republican guard
adjoining the Hotel de Vile. In
moment a scene of the widest excitement
prevailed, The barracks are occupied by
$40 guards, but OF course they were not all
in the building. There were, however, a
large number OF men asleep IN the barracks.
A STAMPEDE TO ESCAPE.
Suddenly awakened by tremendous roar
and shock that seemed TO threaten the de-
molition OF the structure, the men spraug
for the doors and windows thinking that
any moment the walls would come toppling
down on them
People who were In the streets at the
hour the explosion occurred, at exactly rs
o'clock, hastened 60 the scene, and the
streets In the vicinity were soon flied with
an excited crowd, the members of which
advanced all sorts OF theories TO account for
the explosion.
The police at once began an investigation
and soon learned that dynamite cartridge
had been placed upon the ledge of a win
dow of the mess room, which Is situated
near the ground floor Of the barracks
Pieces Of the copper casing of the cartridges
and the fuse we're found, and these explained
the methods the miscreats had employed TO
destroy the barracks, in which. however,
they fortunately failed. BY the greatest
good luck the guards escaped without in
jury, and the olly harm done was &c the
barracks and buildings in the vicinity.
MUCH GLASS BROKEN.
A great deal Of glass was broken In the
neighborhood, and some of the furniture Ia
the mess room Of the barracks was de-
stroyed, but this was the extent of the dam
age to the property. But the shock to the
nerves OF the public can hardly be de-
scrlbed.
A cabinet council was held this afternoon,
at which President Carnot signed the bill
introducing clause in the penal code max
ing willful destruction OF properly by means
OF explosives punishable with death. The
frequency Of anarchist outrages of late has
caused a feeling of CONSERVATION in Paris
1t is believed that the anarchists will gain
courage from their immunity from arrest
for the police have not succeeded in detect
ing the authors OF any Of the explosions
and serious apprehensions are felt regarding
the action they may take on May day.

SUICIDE OF A DRUMMER.
Driven to Forgery by Losses on the
Prize-Fight he Kills Himself

Prize-Fight he Kills Himself.
AUGUSTA, GA, March l5-G. N. Roos,
traveller for New York shirt house, COM
mitted suicide here this afternoon by shoot
ing himself through the head with pistol.
The circumstances surrounding the case are
very sensational. Yesterday morning Chief
of Polioe Hood received a telegram from the
superintendent of police at New Orleans TO
arrest Roos, he being charged with obtain
ing money and goods on false Ieetenses.
The telegram from New Orleans gave the
number OF the check for Roos' baggage and
an officer was detailed at the depot TO arrest
any one presenting the check. Roos antici-
pated trouble Of this kind and redues ed
friend, B. Jaffre, TO obtain the
baggage. Mr.. Jaffre was arrested
and taken opolice headquarters, where his
identity was established and he was pre-
vailed upon to go with an officer and point
out Roos. Roos was found n the Opera
House Arcade saloon on Broad street and
very quietly submitted to arrest, but re-
quested that he be taken down back street
so as to avoid publicity. The officer con-
sented and carried the prisoner through to
Reynolds street. When Lessers alley was
reached Roos asked permission to step into
the alley for minute and as be stated 1.
wls case of necessity the officer acquiesced
aud followed behind Roos.
THE FATAL SHOT.
The latter stopped and asked the police
man II be could not get drink, TO which
the officer replied In the negative. Roos
laughed very heartily at this, and an in
stant later there was a report of revolver
and Roos fell to the ground with bullet
wound through his right temple. Hs died
In three or four minutes and never uttered
word. His remains are in charge of an
undertaken, awaiting instructions from his
relatives, who, it Is understood, are very
wealthy and wei! connected. Bradstreet
quotes Roos Bros. San Francisco. at $500, 900.
Roos come to Augusta from New Orleans
last Sunday, where it is said he lost heavily
on the Fitzimmous-Maher fight, and forged
checks for about $3.50, which led to his ar
rest here to-day andits tragic denouemeut.
1t is said that Roos was very sensitive, and
preferred death to the modification which
would have resulted from his arrest and
imprisonment. This is the theory OF his
his friend Jaffre, the only one that accounts
for his seemingly uncaled for act.

right lung alone is involved. His attending
physician said this morning that the fact
that the disease affected only this lung was
very favorable for the patient, but that
considering the age of Senator Morrill,
pneumonia in any stage was a very serious
matter. The senator still continues cheer
full and his spirits are as buoyant as ever,

TERMINAL'SN NEW SCHEME
TEE FIRST NATIONAL BANK PARTY
IN CONTROL.

OAkman Succeeds Thomas as Chair

ors The New Regime in Close
Touch With the Reading Combine.
Outline of the New Financial Plan
NEW YORK. March 15.-The directors of
the Richmond Terminal, East Tennessee,
and Richmond and Danvflle roads met this
afternoon. The principal busint ., transacted
was the resignation OF Samuel Thomas as
chairman Of tho board or directors of the
East Tennessee, w. G. Oakman being
elected his successor. Mr.. Oakman repre-
sented the old Danville party, OF the First
National Bank party, as it is generally
called, and his election is the first step by
ahat party toward assuming complete con-
troll of the entire Richmond Terminal
system. There was no other announcement
made of any changes aud the directors of
the three companies adjourned until to-
morrow afternoon, when the designations
Of the Inman party will probably be re-
ceived. The plan of the reorganization
which was expected to be given out to-
light was again postponed. but is expected
20 be issued tomorrow night. Mr.. Thomas
remains in the directory of the East
Tennessee Company.
CLOSE RELATIONS WITH THE BIG COMBINE.
The Post says: "The new party which
assumes control Of the Richmond Terminal
makes the interests Of the company with
that of the Reading combine seem very
close. Messrs. Baker and Fahnestock are
looked upon as leading the interests in the
combination which carried through the
Reading deal. and John @. Moore, who has
been active in Terminal affairs lately, was
also interested In the movement in Reading
since the dissolution Of the Philadelphia
yndicste."
THE REORGANIZATION PLAN.
The plan at first proposed to effect re-
organization Of the company, known as the
$500, 1000, 900 plan, has been definitely aban-
dOned by the committee and the scheme to
organized a syndicate with S34, SOC, 900 has
also been dropped. In the place Of the old
