FOUR MILLIONS LOSS.

| A Heavy Blow to business In Port-of-Spatus
| Trinidxd-Nsrrow Escape Of the Entire
| City-SaiIors From United States and
! British War ships Landed and Served as
Fire Fighters with Telling Ehect-Every-
| thing In Confusion.
PoRr-oF-SPAIN, TRINIDAD, March t.
This city has narrowly escaped total
destruction by fire. The loss will
amount to nearly $4,000, 900, the chief
business section having been the GEN.
ter of the confiagration. Nearly 20,-
600 people would have been homeless
to-day ii it had not been for the assist
ance given by the United States
North Atlantic squadron and III.
| NJ. s. Buzzard in cxtinguishing the
flames. The facilities for fighting
fire are very unsatisfactory. and the
people arc very indolent. The Maravial
water-works, which lie several miles
distant are ample for ordinary pur-
poses, but they are not sufficient for
great emergency.
| Soon after the flames began to get
headway in the town Rear-Admiral
Meade signaled from the New York to
the Raleigh and the Cincinnati to land
as many men as could be spared, and
simultaneously the flagships boat
went into the water. There was
lively rivalry among the men from
each ship to reach the scene of the fire
first, especially as the British cruiser
Buzzard, having nearer anchorage.
was also bestirring herself to land q
party.
From the United States vessels more
| than $50 men were sent ashore, while
the Buzzard landed about fifty. Each
boats crew was supplied with fire.
buckets, axes and ropes, and the plan
of action was quickly laid down and
| carried out. Chains of bucket-passers
| were formed, and a steady stream of
| water was thus conveyed to the lee
side of the fire, to prevent its spread
| ing as much as possible.
To extinguish the buildings already
burning, or in close proximity to the
flames, was impossible, and all efforts
| were concentrated on tearing down the
| buildings around the main confagra-
ton, and wetting down everything
upon which sparks and burning frag-
ments might fall.
Organized and determined fighting
of the flames at last had good effect,
and the advance of the fire was checked,
though not until the sailormen as well
as the townspeople were thoroughly
exhausted. Several of the American
seamen.had narrow escapes.
Everything is in confusion, and it
| will take several days to determine
whether there was any loss of life
among the citizens. The blow to the
| city is overwhelming, and it will be
many years before it RECEIVERS from it.

Death Of Jacob Wadish.


Below we copy from the Boise Demo-
crat an account of the illness, death
and funeral of one Of DeLamar's most
estimable citizens. Mr.. Jacob Wadish
and bis son, Al. Wadish, came to De-
Lamar, from Nevada, four years since
and engaged in contracting and hauling
wood. The deceased, social and gem
ial gentleman, by his prompt and hon
orable business methods, made many
friends and never an enemy in the
camp. All were panied to learn of his
illness but are pleased to know that be
had most excellent care. He was in
formed some time ago of the hopeless
ness of his condition, and without ex-
periencing very great suffering was able
to 60 around town. His death, although
not unlocked for, came much sooner
than expected and his son was called
over by telephone.
Jacob Wadish died at the residence
of VIM. Guliford, in this city, on We'd
nesday last, of cancer of the stomach,
and was buried at two O'Clock on Fri
day afternoon. Services were held at
the Methodist church and conducted by
Rev. Huston, whose sympathetic talk
greatly mellowed the grief of the rela-
tive present, an only son.
Deceased had been ailing for two or
three years, and several weeks since
came over from DeLamar to Boise in
company with his son for medical at
tendance. Remaining short time and
believing him to be improving, the son
returned to his business in owyhee
county, leaving his father well cared
for at the home of VIM. Guliford. His
death, not unlocked for, came suddenly
and much sooner than was expected,
for he was up and about the yard three
or four days before be died. He passed
away without struggle; went to bis
eternal rest as gently as If dropping
into sweet sleep.
Jacob Wadish was born in Germany
and came to Illinois when a boy. In
1850 be came TO California, thence TO
Nevada, ana from there to Idaho in
1852. lie followed freighting aud lat
ery engaged in the wood business at
