Freeze In C.llifOrDiu.

Los Angeles, Jan. 9.--The long dreaded
freeze came last night with disastrous re-
suits on the Grange groves throughout
the citrus belt of the southern part Of
the state. The mercury fell eight de-
grees below freezing point, which is one
degree lower than it reached during the
cold snap Of 1891, when it is estimated
that two-thirds of the entire orange crop
of California was ruined. To-day all
sorts of rumors are in circulation as to
the extent of the freeze. Some growers
declared that the loss will be as heavy
as i. was two years ago. Others. how
ever, took a more hopeful view and ex-
1essed the belief that only quarter of
q crop had been injured. The lemon
cop has suffered very Sc, crely.

Pompei came last night. A rushing vol
cano of flame, huge gothic architecture
tumbling to chaos; bewildered lnobs of
people-aH We're there, under a great
starry sky of Italian clearness, with
Lake Michisan's broad expanse, a second
Mediterranean. Probably no more mag
ri6cent, yet terrifying, spectacle has ever
been witnessed this side of the Atlantic.
The fire started in the Casino and is
supposed to have been set by two tramps
for revenge. 1t quickly spread to the
peristyle, and this, together with the
mnsic hall, soon went. 1t then attacked
the nsanufact ures and liberal arts build
ing, but after an hours hard fight ~,
tfrm.es were subdued. The federal Of
6cials put the maximum loss at 81 1900
600. On the other hand ths estimates

local directory made the highest. figures
OF " $25O,OOO in the liberal arts building.
The great fire was not without its work

that, fortunately, few of the exhibit
