.NOT EVEN NERO'S ROME Exceeded the Fire Which Visited
 Guayaqil. THIRTH, TWO LONG HOURS The Fiq s'emOn Held Full Sway and Swept Eo All Before It. fNF, sTERS OF THE SACRED HEART Sa c Have Perished On Board Launch ,s, ., Two-Thirds of the City, Including the Commercial Quarter,
 Destroyed.
! STEERS OF THE SACRED HEART

Panama Nov. 2.-The Star and Herald publishes the following detailed account of the confiagration at Guayaquil: On the night of Oct. the port and city of Guayaquil was visited by perhaps the greatest fire in history-if we except that of Nero's Rome. The fire is stated to have originated in a suspicious manner in the store of Massanovich & Bowski, two North American Jews. Their store was located about the center of the city. At the time a strong breeze was blowing and it did not subside for sixty hours long after the fiery element had devas- tated the whole of the city to the north and northwest About two-thrds of the house property and nearly the whole of the commercial quarter were destroyed. The only four banks In the city were razed, as also three out of the four news- paper offices, the custom house (contain- ing some $10000 900 worth of goods and the church of St. Domingo, a relic of the Spanish occupation.
 The fire spread with indescribable ra- pidity and at no time was the fire depart ment able to cope with it. It simply burned itself out
 The blaze lasted fully thirty-two hours. Only five people have been known to have lost their lives. It was stated that in a launch, laden with furniture which caught fire and was swept down with the tide to the island of Puma, five sisters of the Sacred Heart perished, but this could not be verified.
 It is estimated that 5000 persons were rendered homeless and that the house property destroyed aggregate $15, ,000, ,000. Goods destroyed amount to $15, 900, ,000, and the loss to the insurance companies Is about $3,500,000.
 About a fortnight after the fire the vaults of the banks destroyed were op- ened and all securities, etc., were found intact.
 A bill has been introduced into the Co., lombian congress, appropriatlng $30, 900 in gold to be devoted to the sufferers of the recent Guayaquil fire
 The Star and Herald says: Owing to the frequency of suicides in Chilli, the daily newspapers of Valparaiso and San- tiaso propose to suspend the publication of all details respecting such crimes. It Is hoped that this may exercise some in- fuence toward the number of suicides.

 London, Nov. 2--The Clerkenwell ses- sions, to which court the trial of MT. and Mrs. Walter M. Castle, of San Francisco, upon a charge of shoplifting, was as- signed by Magistrate Newton, of the Great Marlborough police court, opened today. 's 'f.f-f@A
 Chairman Mcconnell of the C1erken- well sessions, delivered a charge to the grand jury upon the ordinary course of the cases to be heard, calling especial attention to the case of MT. and Mrs. Castle, in which he said the facts did not differ from these constituting a case of ordinary larceny, except in the position of the parties accused. Their case, he thought, was proper one for inquiry by a common jury. The trial was then fixed for next Friday. MT. and Mrs. Cas- tie did not appear in court.
 Sir Edward Clarke, Sir Frank Lock- wood and MT. Abrahams, of counsel for the defense, met at the chambers of Sir Edward Clarke this afternoon to discuss the course to be taken by the defense at the opening of the trial. It is under stood that the chief point under discus- sion was whether or not Mrs. Castle should plead guilty with an extenuating plea of mental weakness, but the counsel declined to disclose the nature of their decision in the matter

THE NEGROES WOULDN'T LISTEN

Hayneville, Ala, Nov. 2-(Special)-A P Goodwin stopped the fast train at Le- tohatchie at noon today and was met by two or three henchmen, the foremost being Lit Reese, and was hastened off here to make a speech. There was an auction sale of horses and to say 800 ne groes were in town would be small es- innate. After the sale it was publicly announced that MT. Goodwin would speak and every effort was made to in- duce the crowd to go to the court house to hear him, but the scheme fell flat. The republicans then announced that Judge Horne would speak and they again tried to work up a crowd, which also proved a failure and Goodwin, Horne and others left, the worst disguested politicians that ever attempted to make an address.

SAVANNAH IN LUCK.
To Have Line of Ocean Steamers With Which to Compete With Other Ports.

To Have Line of Ocean Steamers With
 Which to Compete With Other Ports.
 Savannah, Ga, Nov. 2.-Arrangements have been perfected between President Conner, of the Central of Georgia Rail- road company, and William Johnson & Co.,, of Liverpool, England, one of the largest firms of ship owners and ship charterers, by which Savannah will have a direct line of steamers to European ports. Johnson & Go. are to open an office in this city Nov. 15 for the pur- pose of arranging all preliminary details for the business. The company which is to have charge of this shipping will be incorporated as the Georgia Export and Import company with a capital of $50, 900 to start with, and the privilege of in- creasing it to $1,000000, the object being ultimately that the company shall own its own ships as well as to charter and operate them. The direct reason for this movement is the disadvantage to which Savannah has been put by reason of high ocean freight rates as compared with rates from other ports, the result of which has been that Savannah has re- ceived less than her proportion of the cotton this season, from which the rail- roads in this section, as well as the port have been sufferers, and this movement is contemplated to be for the benefit of all. The ships will work directly with all the lines centering here, and on the same conditions, and 1t is arranged that, if necessary, there will be enough of them to handle all the cargoes that are offering for any foreign ports Another object in view, now that this plan has been &C., complished is the, direct exportation of western grain through, Savannah, this port having had heretofore all the other advantages for such shipments except the proper ocean rate. The credit for the success of this movement is due directly to President Conner, of the Central.
