THE FIRE RECORD.
vanderbilt's Villa and Contents De-
stroYcd-Other CnuHarrationa

stroycd-Other ConHagrations.
NEWPORT, r. l., Nov. 25.-The elegant
summer residence of Cornelius Wander
bilt, known as the breakers" was totally
destroyed by fire this afternoon, together
with all the valuable contents of the villa
The fire was discovered by Vanderbilt
himself about 4:50. A telephone message
was sent to the fire department, but the
fire had made great Roadway and before
the apparatus reached the scene, which
was nearly two miles from the station, the
fire was beyond control. Even when the
department arrived they were handl-
capped by the insufficient number of
MIGRANTS. Vanderbilt himself said
that nothing could be done to
save the property, as the whole building
save the servants quarters was a roaring
furnace when the department arrived.
A portion of the furniture was saved. but
insignificant either in quantity or value
when compared with that lost.
All the rich tapestries, rare paint
ings, valuable bric-a-brac, elegant
decorations and furnishings, wearing
apparel and rare and costly articles of
every description were destroyed. The
character of the furniture and decorations
may be judged from the fact that in
single hall were hung tapestries estimated
TO be worth $50, 900 or more. Vanderbilt
and family found temporary refuge in
gardeners cottage on the premises. Van
derbilt could give no accurate estimate of
his loss, which he stated was largely COW
cred by insurance. Silver, jewels and
other valuables of like nature had been
placed in safes by the servants, and he
thought were probably all right. A rough
estimate places the loss al 100000.

Mexican Grain Tariff Blocks Railroads.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. 25.-The off,
ciai announcement that the Mexican gov
eminent is to discontinue the free impor-
tation of grain December 1 has caused a
great stir among the traffic officials of con-
Meeting roads In this section and has ter
rorized shippers who have corn en- route
and orders for grain not yet filled. The
result of the unexpected order is certain
to cause losses of many thousand dollars
to railroads and shippers. The Mexican
National railroad is already unable to han
die the corn that is delivered to them
daily by the International & Great
Northern and San Antonio g. Arkansas Pass
railroads. As result the yards OF the In
ternational & Great Northern at San An
tonic and Laredo are blocked with grain
that has now accumulated. there being
600 cars, each containing 800 bushels of
grain. The same condition of affairs ex-
lists at Eagle Pass.

Bicycles for Chicago Police.

CHICAGO. Nov. 25.-There is a strong
probability that the Chicago police de-
partment will be equipped with bicycles.
Some time ago Capt. Shattler mounted
two detectives on wheels and the value of
the bicycles in the service was Immediately
established. These detectives did good
work in arriving at the scerfes of burg
laries, fights and fires. Their work has
been so much in advance of the patrol
wagon that it is expected the different
stations will be equipped with wheels and
that horses in the mounted service will
give way to wheels.
