Part of the Cotton Badly Damaged.
Phosphate Little Hurt.

Three surveys were held on the Italian
steamship Stella yesterday. by order of
the Italian vice consul, Capt. L. Trapani.
The surveys we're to ascertain the dam
age to the ship and cargo by the fire of
last Friday night
The board of survey on the ship consist
ed of Capt. Lewis Virgins. port warden;
Capt. James T. Stewart, Lloyd's agent;
Mr.. A. L. Earle, Marine Underwriters
agent; Capt. Holman of the British steam
ship Glenvech. and Capt Albano, of the
bark Aniellino. 1t was found that the
fire was chiefly In the forward hatch, and
the covering boards were burned, while
the deck above was buclSled.
The ship was judged to be sea worthy
however, and the board recommended that
loading of the cargo be continued, and
that the necessary repairs be made at the
determination of her voyage. The vessel
will sail for Barcelona and Genoa.
The surveyors on the cargo of cotton
were Messrs. Arthur Overton, T. H. Gill
liam, Capt. Lewis Virgins, Mai. James T.
Stewart and Mr.. A. l.. Earle. They found
that out of the ABS bales of cotton dis
charged from the forward, or No. l hold
50 bales We're in good condition, 220 were
damaged by water and 1873 were badly
burned. The board recommended that the
dry bales be reshipped and those dam
aged by fire and water be sold for ac-
count of all concerned.
The surveyors on the phosphate cargo
were Messrs. George J. Baldwin, c. L..
Montague, Maj. James 7. Stewart, and
Mr.. A. l.. Earle. They found that the
phosphate was only slightly damaged in
the forward hatch, and that in the No ?
hold it was not in perfect condition. They
recommended that the phosphate remain
in the vessel and be shipped to its desu-
nation.

is estimated at between $4,000 and $1,000.
The fire started near the center of the
MILL it is supposed, in a pile OF shavlngs
around a planer One theory is that II
started from a hot box on the planer,
which had been running at high speed
all day. The bOokkeeper, who slept IN
the office was aroused by the fire soon
after IL started. IL was some minutes be-
fore an alarm was sent in ana the nfe
was under a strong Roadway when the
firemen arrived. The seasoned lumber and
light dressed wood burned fiercely and
nothing was saved When the hremen
quit work there was nothing but
pile of ruins and the twisted
machinery. A mule was burned in shea
on the west side of the mill. The ac-
joining lumber and wood yards were
threatened and people moved out of the
houses on the opposite side of the street
and carried their household goods TO
places of safety. The hemen prevented
the spread of the flames, however, beyond
the mill and sheds, and the two houses
fronting the street. which were burned
Mr.. George NJ. McCauley, president OF
the company, arrived after the mill had
nearly burned. THE fire is a total loss
he said. I'VE carried no insurance"
The company's books and papers were
locked in the safe in the office and were
uninjured. 1t was o'clock this morning
before the firemen quit work, and then a
detail was left on duty in case of another
outbreak in the ruins and a further spread

Mayor Myers Has Two or Three
Names Under Consideration.
The vacancy in the fire commission
caused by the resignation of Mr.. Hugh
Logan. who was appointed for two years
is still unified Mayor Myers was asked
yesterday if he was ready to name Mr.
Logan's successor, and if there is any
special reason why the vacancy has been
allowed to remain open so long.
There was no need of any haste
in filling the vacancy" said
Mayor Myers There has been
nothing Of particular Importance
before the commission since Mr. Logan
resigned. The vacancy will probably be
filled soon. however. I have the names
OF two or three good men under consider
alton, but have not as yet made a selec-
tion. You can state positively that any
rumors as to any probable appointee are
absolutely without foundation. as no one
has been approached on the subject and
l have not discussed by preferences with
anybody"
The fire department seems to be running
very well with only two commissioners,
but if there should be q difference Of
opinion between Commissioners Nell and
GTayson no action could be taken on the
matter in dispute until they are given a
