ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May ia special to
the Republic from Birmingham, Ala,
says:
At 8 o'clock this morning fire broke out

Wise's residence. Persons meat market,
Mrs. Horsefee's residence, the Gate City
high school and two other buildings.
Fant's boarding-house was located over
MitchelPs store, the rooms being occupied
by fifteen rolling-mill men. They had
been drinking the night before, and it was
with great difficulty that any of them
were saved. The rescuers dragged some
from their beds, while others jumped from
the windows clad only in their night gar
ments. James Smithson's charred corpse
has been recovered from the debris. Two
strangers are missing. Richard Long had
leg burned off, and others received sligh1
! injuries.

of the San Joaquin Valley, which includes
Tulare and Kern counties, is noted for hav-
ing the spirit of the new California. The
great wheat fields, the cattle ranges and
the 'no-fence" plains have given way to
orange groves, fruit orchards, alfalfa fields
and gardens. The great rivers have been
turned into irrigating ditches-and the
soil that has thirsted for many years is
watered. The productions of this country
have proved the value of irrigated lands in
the San Joaquin.
The crest of the Sierra eliminates in the
eastern border of Tulare County, in Mount
Whitney, with an altitude of 5000 feet.

ernssent Destroyed.
HALIFAX. N. S., May 19.-This city
was visited by 100000 fire this morning,
and there was not cents worth of insur-
ance on the property destroyed.
The flames started on the Intercolonial
Railways long wharves in the cattle-sheds.
Both wharf and sheds, in which were sixty
head of cattle, were soon consumed, as
well as the freight and immigration sheds.
The fire also swept the immense coaling
pier, trestle work and wharf of the Domin-
ion Government, and on which were a
number Of loaded coalcars. On the sur
rounding tracks were great number of
empty and loaded cars, but locomotives
got them out OF danger. The property was
owned by the Dominion Government and
not insured.
The fire was supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary. The other Gov
ernment terminus was destroyed by fire,
and the loss of this one means great incon-
venience to shipping and commercial
circles.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 19.-An informal
meeting of several members of the Demo

a regular dealer in this line
knows his business and you feel safe
in buying of him. Then remember
that on this coming Monday you want
to finish up your shopping with US.
Look us over, we have bargains left

come in and compare with our prices.
You will be surprised when you do
this, to find we are offering the uery best
