b"cHETA SEATED,

The action Of the legislative council in
unseating Prof. G. W. Miles and Install
Ing Hon. j. A. Ancheta as councilman
from Grant and Dona Ana counties was
very much of a surprise to every one.
The NEW MEXICAN has not been shown
the evidence in the case, but no doubt
the committee having the matter 10
charge felt fully satisfied from the facts
before them that Mr.. Ancheta had been
duly and honestly elected, othe rwise they
would never have taken the action they
did. That in this case the council did a
very rare thing IN voting unanimously,
Democratic as it was by good, strong
majority, in seating the Republican CON
testaut. Is also worthy of note. 1t is H
thing that has never occurred before in
the history of New Mexico.

ought to be a lesson to the Supervisors,
and be the cause of them taking some
movement and at once arrange for the re-

Never was the danger of live trolley
wires more apparent than last night, when
the streams from the hose and the wet
poles caused play OF lightning-like flashes
from every quarter.
Had the trolley-poles been of wood in
stead of iron the deaths and casualties
would have been appalling. The mass of
telegraph and telephone wires on Fourth
and on Bluxome streets that lead to the
railroad buildings at Fourth and Town
send streets were constant menace. In
several instances the poles burned off and
carried down by the weight of wire swung
out into the streets and crossed with cleo
trio light and other wires, and that there
were no accidents or deaths was due to a
thoughtful police sergeant, who telephoned
to the power-houses and had the current
shut off.

The fire of last night burned over part
of the territory which was swept by the
Brannan-street conflagration in 1888. The
fire of 1888 swept over twelve blocks.
Sam Rainey could not keep away from

LOSSES AND INSURANCE
The Property Burned Supposed
to Be Worth Nearly
$1,OOO,O 900,

Insurance men are not willing TO give
much definite information regarding the
amount of money swallowed up, because
anything like accurate figures will not be
obtainable until the books of every COM
pany are thoroughly gone over to-day. No
estimate of the total loss, however, is far
from $l,000,000, some going above and
some as low as $3.50, 600 or $500 ZOO.
The insurance on this is very variously
put at from 500, 600 to $25o,0O0. The rule
is that about one-ffth of the value of the
property represents the amount of insur-
ance.
The losses, whatever they may amount
to, are widely distributed among the com
panles and the heaviest individual losses,
so far as can be estimated, will not reach
$4,000. The neighborhood with its ram
shackle buildings, its factories and stores
of inflammable material was not a
place in which any company wanted to
risk very much. Reinsurance was there
fore the rule, and as a consequence, while
there is not company in the City which

FOURTH STREET CROSSED.
The Flames Shoot Over the Thor
oughfare and Are Halted
There.

Zoe street runs from Brannan to Bryant,
between Third and Fourth. Freelon street
begins at Zoe and runs west, crossing
Fourth. The fire in its sweeping advance
crossed Fourth street, near freedom, at 80
o'clock. The wind was high. The front
of the flame was solid for nearly a block
The Fire Department made a sort of rally
to fight the advancing flames, but the re-
sistance was slight. When a mastery
effort was awaited the water was found
weak and insufficient, and so the firemen
had to pull out their engines, and the
column of fire shot high up and backed
over across Fourth street, sending in adj
vance ignited fragments in the air to catch
and maintain hold. Then the spectators
said the fire would go 10 the bay and across
Third street.
There were two critical points at the
crossing. One was at the Lachman wine
house, substantial brick building very
nearly adjoining the Pacific Improvement
Company's stables on the lot of the COM
pany and the big brick building corner of
Fourth and Townsend streets. The other
fighting point east of Fourth was at q
Freelon street, where the fire was ulti-
mately conquered.

INCIDENTS AND SCENES.
Singular and Thrilling Experiences
in the Burning Dis
triCt.

During the progress of the fire on Fourth
street there was terrific explosion that
shook the buildings and staggered many
in the assem- led crowds. On investigat-
ing, it was found to be small steam boiler
in French laundry at 500 Fourth street.
The force of the explosion sent about half
ton of the boiler flying through three
buildings, This piece lodged in Shirey's
Hotel, on the corner of Walsh street. So
great was the shock that all the windows
not destroyed by the heat were blown into
the street.
large number of the poor people who
were homeless last night were among the 600
women and children employed at the Cali
fornia Cannery. Most of the employees of
this cannery live in the neighborhood and
many have been waiting long for the can
merry to start up. Next month 1900 will be
employed, and many more women and
girls belonging to the burned-out families
will be at work. As soon as the critical
time for the south side of Brannan street
was passed, and the flames seemed under
control, Isidor Jacobs, presden. of the
California Cannery Company, announced
that he would head with 500 q subscrip-
ton for those who were made homeless.
To-day is the weekly pay day of the can
merry, and $500 will be distributed.
The Pacific canneries like the Pacific
Box Factory next to it on Brannan street,
was saved from the effects of the showers
of cinders by the hard efforts of a small
army of employees and others. Isidor ia

The London and Lancashire is one of
the heavy losers. 1t carried about SIS. 900

amounts, and none that were over $500.
This was row of dwellings on Fourth,
near Brannan. The Phoenix of London

perhaps not as much. The Westchester

amounts. The North American will also
lose about $4,000, and the Union $7100. The
Fireman's Fund is loser to the extent of
something like $500.
The Palatine is another heavy loser, an
estimate made late last night putting the
figure at about $4,000. The Palatine
carried good many risks down among
the tenement houses along Fourth
street, where the rate was low and
insurance heavy. Where the fire
started, too, up along Fifth street.
the Palatine was much interested. 1t had
$4,000 on Morrison's lumber-yard on Fifth
and Brannan, but much of the property of
the yard was saved. The company was
also interested in ST. Paul Church upon
which it had $500 - $4,000 on the
church itself and $500 on the
parsonage. In the Norwich and ROYAL
there will be about $500 to pay. In the
Prussian National $4,000 losses was adj
mitted, all in small amounts, the biggest
being $4,000 on some frame dwellings on
Fourth street.
Barthau's agency will lose $3.50. OF
this $4,000 is on the New Washington Ho-
tel, on the corner of Fourth and Bluxome !:
$4,000 is on the Pacific Soda Works, on
Bryant street, near Fifth; $1,000 was on L.
A. Carah & Co., 511 Fifth; $3.50 on the
California Fence Company and $500 on
Einstein q Levy's on Fifth street.
H. P. Umbsen, who represents the Lon
| don Assurance Company, had about $50 600
placed in various companies. He had
$4,000 on the Del Monte Hotel and con-
siderable amount on the dwelling houses
along Fourth street and among the small
streets running from Fourth. He had
placed most of the insurance on the Shirley
House on Fourth and Welsh streets. and
had some more in the factory district along
Fifth street.

shetchea for the "Calr, by Fisher,

put in shortly after the fire of 1876.
1t was next to impossible to get full
stream at any distance from the large
main, there being no water on either
Townsend, Ritch or Third streets, and for
an hour and half an engine was idle on
Brannan street, near Third, unable to get
water sufficient to keep the hose full.
The mains on the streets, other than
Fourth, range from to inches, and
when one or two engines have occasion to
draw from the hydrants nearest the source
OF supply the pressure at the other hy-
drants is at zero.

Marshal Towe called up Clerk Russell of
the Board OF Supervisors, the board being
then in session, and said ~ "This is Fire
Marshal Towe and send you a message
from Chief Sullivan. For Gods sake. send

what lack of water facilities is doing"
AT this very time letter was lying on
Chief Sullivan's desk that he had addressed

to this very matter. BY reason of the
water supply being centered on the west
side of the blocks bounded on the west by
Fourth street it made it necessary for the
tiremen to follow the fire south rather than
to catch it as it came east, and the result
was the loss of many dwellings in the most
thickly populated section of that neighbor-
hood. The extra insurance rate charged
for risks in this district would long since
have paid for improvements that would
render property here comparatively safe.
Underwriters have long looked askance
at these water arrangements and have
charged accordingly.
klt is true that there was brisk bree
| blowing that aided the flames in their
march, but it was this same breeze that
shifted around and enabled the tiremen
with the meager facilities at hand to make
some Roadway.
| Fire Marshal Towe was very outspoken
in his remarks, calling attention to the
| fact that this is the fourth big fire of this
| district and the greatest of them all, his
estimate of the losses reaching the enor-
nous sum of over million and a half
