Cripple Creek, Colo. April 2S.-One
million dollars is a conservative esti-
mate of the damage done by fire in
the heart of Cripple Greek. Some esti-
mates are as high as two million. The
amount of insurance will not exceed
S205 900. When the fire broke out in
Carey's secondhand store the danger
of a big conflagration was not per-
ceived. but in a short time the fire had
spread to the adjoining buildings and
a brisk wind sprang up. The occupants
began to move out, but many waited
too long and were unable to get their
goods out. Some barely escaped with
their lives. Several women were bad
ly burned. The heat became so in
tense that buildings on the north side
Of Meyers street took fire. Every
wagon in town was pressed into SER
vice and goods were hauled away. Not
a tenth part of the goods were saved.
An angry courtesan threw a lamp at
her lover and this started the fire. The
lamp hit the stove. igpiting the oil and
setting fire TO the furniture. In 4 few
minutes the building was in flames.

Washington, April 2S.-The treasury
deficit for the fiscal year ending June
80. 1896, will be approximately S25,-
600. 900. This is the opinion of officials
and others best qualified to make an
intellectual estimate of the result Of
the fiscal operations of the year. In
his annual estimate sent to congress at
the beginning of the present session.
the secretary of the treasury estimated
the receipts from customs during the
fiscal year at S112,OO0,000. SO far,
with nearly ten months of the year
gone. the customs receipts have
reached about S13I, o 1000, with a fair
prospect of increasing to S165, 100000
by the close of the year. The estimate
of the receipts from internal revenue
sources was S15S, 000,0 900. Up to this
time they have reached 100000. 900,
and it is expected the figures for the
completed year will be about $146,-
OOO, 900.
