EUREKA, CAL. Nov. 25.-A big fire Wis
tied the town of Fortuna this morning at
o'clock, destroying Samuel DicRson's s
jewellery store. Chauncey Langdon's real
estate office, Jones & Lorings drug store,
William Hunts opera-house and confec-
tionery store and DR.. l. c. Bush's office.
The flames were discovered i'll a woodshed
in the rear of Dickson's store, and rapidly
consumed the esta blishments mentioned.
The fire was either started by an incen-
diary or a tramp sleeping in shed.
Fortunately they were all ope-story build
ings, or the fire would have surely done
more damage. The losses are: Dickson
building $500 stock 500, insurance $500;
Jones & Lorlng total loss stock $500,
building $780, no insurance; Langdon loss
$780, building $500; Hunt building $1,000,
contents $780, insurance $500.
Fortunately there was no wind or the
large merchandise store of Swartzel &
Williams adjoining would have burned
AS it was, it caug nj in eight places and
was only saved by hard work. The build
ngs were owned by Dan Newell, Mrs
Henry Hansen aud William Hunt. The
livery stable of Thomas Greig, across the
street, caught fire several times, but the
flames were extinguished. This is the
second large fire Fortuna has had since
May, when Swarlzel & Williams molding
mill and electric light works were burned.

have followed each other very fast at
Whitehall. Gradually the good people
of the neighbofhood have begun to talk
above whispers. II Is said that when Gen

month ago to have his eyes treated he left
his child-wife at the home Of Mr.. Bicker-
staff, Deighbor, who had girl about the
age OF Dora. While the general was away
his wife went TO parties with Mr.. Bicker-
Stairs daughter and ct many young men
OF he neigh borhood.
When the general came home he found
that the little girl he had so fondly
watched over had suddenly become a
woman and that Whitehall no longer had
charms for her. His guards told him OF
her party-going and amusements. He
chloed her and said it must stop. 1t IS said
that he summond young man to White
hall. but The youth concluded it was best

When the Reverend Father Serda- said
yesterday morning he believed the fire at
the Sacred Heart Church, at Fortieth
and Grove streets, in Oakland, to be of
inceHdiarv origin the belief dii not come
tom any knowledge of enemies to the
eaurch, but rather because he could not
otherwise account for the fire. He said
Yesterday afternoon he did not have an
Vmy that he knew of and his only rea-
s. s71tor believing the fire was of incend-
lary origin was because it started on the
outside of the church. He has no suspi-
cion OF any particular person being con-
nected with the act.
Father Serda feels the loss of the
church very keenly, as he has worked
almost night and day to bring it to COM
pletion, and just as it was about to be
freed from debt it was destroyed. Twenty
years ago it was dedicated and now all
that remains is the insurance monev,
amounting TO $40, 200, of which $4,000 is
owing by the church.
Father Serda said twas too early to say
exactly what would be done in the future
regarding the church, but he believed
that sufficient money would be raised by
the people TO rebuild the edifce.
A meeting was held at the church OF
St Francis de Sales last night, at which
there were present members of all the
parishes in Oakland, and preliminary
steps were taken toward raising fund
for the unfortunate parish. This meeting
was the first of several that will be held,
and it is expected sufficient money will BE-
guaranteed to enable Fathers Serda and
Scanlan to begin rebuilding at once.
Father McSWeeney was elected chair
man in the absence of Father Serda. He
stated the object of the meeting, said that
United States gold coin was the best
sympathy and opened a subscription list.
Dr. Maher, Father McSweeney and J. I.
Moran headed the list with 500 sub

ties and twenty-ives followed, until
theNlm reached $500. There will be a
meeting again next Sunday, at the
same place, at Ego o'clock, when more
subscriptions will be solicited. The
meeting was enthusiastic, and it was
decided to rebuild the church and residence
better and larger than before. The
