ing flame, and putting on his hat he
started for town. Arriving there he
saw no signs of anything unusual and
was about to return when something
prompted him to 20 as far as the
railroad track, where he would be
more able to see the surrounding
country. He did so, and discovered
what he supposed was brush heap or
hay rick on FIRE, and he did not hasten
his steps until nearby Judge Turner's,
when he started into q run. He then
saw it was a good sized barn on FIRE.
The building was tightly closed, so
the flames were kept in check until
ready to burst forth, which they did to
the "Queen's tsste," about the time
no arrived. Rushing to the house he
broke the outside door open but tho
inside was securely fastened. By
dent Of kicks and yells he succeedc d
in awakening Mr.. Mitchell and family,
but not until several minutes of valu.
able time had passed. Running out
he secured bucket (the only one on
the place) but the scarcity of water
prevented him from doing good work.
BY this time Mr.. Mitchell had got
into bis pants and running out, asked,
"Vot vos de masser?" He was in.
formed that if he didn't secure more
water in five minutes his house would
be gone. He rushed through the
fields, and after patient waiting with
the Thermometer about 600 degrees
in the shade, and the building and
fences smoking ali around, Hodgman
finally secured enough water to do
effective work. The greatest danger
was the fact of a summer kitchen
almost joining the house and barn.
The house is good. siz>d cottage,

nearest the blazing barn was frame.
but hay was in the barr,
except chickens, and they beat hasty
retreat on the arising Of the heat. A
good wagon was saved with other
small farming tools. The whole
affair was quiet, hot and quick. A
delegation from town was met by
Hodgman on his return to HALEY,
out he informed them the fire was cut

lies, what ia the market status of their i'm
mense issues? Many of them are already
illegal. and others are destined to become
so. When that result comes. the profits
they are now making out of an exclusive
control of prices will disappear. The stocks
issued by these organizations have been
"Watered" to tho extent OF many times
over the true value of their assets; what
then will be their market valuation when
the law has deprived the organizations Of
the power to srtihcially initiate prices? 1t
requires little foresight to discover that
these issues constitute a most formidable
danger in the future Of the stock market.
Any day, a new law or a decision of the SUI
preme court of the United States nay
within twenty-four hours wipe out tens Of
millions of the market value of this illegiti-
mate scrip, with consequences of the most
far-reaching character. The action of the
Standard Oil in diaselving its trust arrange
monts is a significant warning. Spite of its
wealth and solidity and its I'M
questioned power of resistance, its saga.
oious managers deem it %imprudent to face
the omnipitence of the coming assertion Of
the public will. and the trust is foreRrming
itself by putting its great interests unde
some more normal form Of management.
In striking contrast to this prudence, the
sugar monopoly, with no choice between
eafly failure and a more complete grasp
upon the entire industry, is making an
other enormous issue Of stock at an enor-
mously exaggerated initiation Of it's true
value. The flooding of the stock market
with such vast issues of scrip that has no
true and permanent basis of value cannot
be regarded as anything short of a stand
ing grave monaco to Wall street interests.
Operators and investors should be warned
thai the ohiof aim of the promoters of these
schemes is to transfer their scrip into other
hands at the highest possible prices and
then maybe leave the d~isorganized con-
Germs to their fate.

NEW ORLEANS, April 4.--One Of the
most destructive cotton fires on record
broke out at 1890 Sunday morning
among some cotton on the sidewalk in
front Of the Fire Proof press, on north
Front street. between Race and Orange.
Persons who saw smoke Issuing from
among the bales gave the alarm i'm
mediately. A few minutes later the
bells rank out "82." The department
responded promptly, but the wind was
so high and the cotton SO dry that It
burned like tissue paper. The flames
ran high, and in an almost incredibly
short space Of time had communicated
to the press itself, and were working
their way along the woodwork of the
roof.
After three repeated alarms, a general
alarm was sounded and all the engines
in the city, with the exception of two or
three, were called out. The Fire Proof
press had about 10000 bales of cotton
stored In 1t. This was entirely con-
su1ned. It would have been madness
for fremen to enter the press to save
the staple On every side the flames
were raging, forming formidable and
irnpregnable fire wall.
In half an hour after the flames had
started the Fire Proof was consumed,
and the flames had communicated to
the upper press. The destruction here
was as great as at the other press. In a
marvelously short space OF time the
flames had attacked the building from
ell sides, cutting their way through
the woodwork with wonderful rapidity.
In this press were stored $4,000 bales Of
cotton, some Of which was taken out
and brought to place Of safety. The
major portion Of the staple, however,
was in flames in short time, and 1t
was impossible to save 1t.
For space of at least two blocks o
sheeto Of flame shot upward. The smoke
and SPARKS from the fire were blown
down into the streets by the winds, and
choked and singed the spectators. Sud
| denly small flame was seen to leap
| skywnrd from q corner of the Indepcnd-
| ence press. In second, almost the
| entire square was ablaze, end
the flames formed almost solid
block of fire. In the yard were stored
some 10000 bales Of the aowery staple.

flames and in little time it was con-
sumed At last four rows of charred
walls were oil that stood TO remind one
that 0 large building had once occupied
the site The last press to catch was
the Orleans. The place was gutted, and
the contents, consisting Of about 10000
bales, were consumed. There was no
chance TO save any portion of the cot
| ton, Us the work of destruction was
very rnpid.
The total amount Of cotton burned,
as near as can now be ascertained, Is es-
timnted at $4,000 bales, held by factors
and commission merchants, and covered
by their open policies Much of this
cotton will be sent to the pickeries and
saved. so that the total loss will prob
ably not exceed thirty dollars per bale,
making the total loss on cotton between
two and two and quarter millions OF
dollars. Loss on presses and sheds are
estimated at sl5O,O00. It Is thought the
fire started from cigarette which
some person threw among the cotton.
Several fremen were hurt by falling
