Destroys Coal Chutes, Warehouses
 and Merchandise.
BURNS ANCHORED BARKs
And Railroad CarS-The Dam age Will Reach $125,OOO,
 With No Insurance.

PENSACOLA, Fla, Oct. 27.-Fire was discovered at 10 o'clock this morning in the roof of the large warehouse, on Muscogee wharf, belonging to the Louisville ana Nashville Railroad company. The fire was under good headway when first discovered, and as the wharf is in the eastern suburbs of the city, the warehouse and wharf were wrapped in flames before the fremen could reach the scene, and one of the most disastrous coufiagrations that the city has known for years followed.
 The great coal chutes of the Export Coal company, said to have been the best on the gulf coast, the warehouse filled with valu- able merchandise, large portion of the wharf and the elevated coal tracks, twenty three cars, many of them loaded with coal, several car loads of crossties, fifteen car loads of coal, and all the ropes, baskets and ship gear of the Export Coal company, 600 tons of salt and much other property was destroyed. The loss is estimated at $125,- GOO, with no insurance. The coal chutes, warehouses and wharf belonged to the Louisville and Nashville railroad. The other was the property of the Export Coal company.
 The fire originated from sparks from a hoisting engine which was being used to unload a cargo of kainit from the Norwe- gian bark Amity. The crossties of the ves- sel's mainmast caught fire and her stern was badly scorched. She was quickly lowed out into the stream, where the fire was extinguished.
 The top rigging of the Norwegian bark Elise, which was receiving cargo at the wharf, took fire.
 She was lowed out into the stream, and it is reported that one man of her crew was killed and another badly injured by fail- ing yard while in tow.
 The schooner Mary B. Morse was just going along side the wharf for cargo of coal and had narrow escape, as did also the schooner Willia-1 H. Swann. A sail boat filled with saen capsized near the burning wharf, but were rescued. large mum Der of cars were saved by locomotives which were hastily sent from the yards when the alarm was sent in.
 Chief Johh Baker of the fire department and Willie Britzen of the Germania hose company were severely and painfully in- jured by the explosion of some barrels of oil in the burning warehouse, but their h .. juries will probably not be fatal.
 The British gunboat Pardridge, Captain McAllister, with crew of seventy eight men arrived in port this morning from Charleston. She is paying an official visit to the British vice -consuls in the south, and will probably leave for New Orleans tomorrow. The British vice. consul at this port. Mir. A. c. Howe, paid an official visit in full uniform to Captain McAllister as soon as the Pardridge dropped anchor in the bay.
