Another Frisco Fire.

San Francisco, June Another big
fire threatened the southern portion of
the city this afternoon. Four alarms
were turned in, the first at 1:2O o'clock
and, following so closely upon the fatal
fire of yesterday, it caused much ex-
element.
The extensive plant of the Truckee
Lumber company and box factory on
Berry street between Fourth and Fifth
was the scene of today's fire. The
blaze started in the sawdust bin in the
rear of the factory, from some I'M
known cause and spread with such
rapidity that before the arrival of the
fire brigade the main building was en-
veloped in flames. From the factory
the fire spread to the lumber yard adj
Joining. but was checked before much
damage had resulted to the stock on
hand there.
The factory was completely Quilted,
however, and a rough estimate of the
damage places the loss at $50 600. of
which at least one-half was in ma
chinery. The latter was insured for
$4,000 and the contents of the building
were insured for $4,000 more.
About $4,000 worth of finished lumber
was so charred and warped by the
heat and flames as TO be useless.

Paris. June THE latest details
from Grenoble, in the department OF
Isere, show that the desolation wrought
river Norge to overflow it's banks. is
far more extended than was at first
supposed. The deluge of water caused
enormous landslides of trees and sand
from the mountains into the valley,
overwhelming houses, buryinS cattle
and destroying other property. In
many villages the fleeing inhabitants
left everything behind them.
Almost all the riverside factories
were destroyed and no fewer than 500
workshops were wrecked.
The town of Voiron presents a la
mentable appearance. All the bridges
are gone and the streets are filled with
masses of debris washed out from tina
factories and shops; bales of cloth,
rolls of silk and similar manufactured
products, while the roads of the town
and the district around about are COM
pletely choked with rocks and fallen
trees, or quilted with great washouts
Voiron is without gas, as the gas
works have been destroyed.
Many of the principal merchants are
absolutely ruined, and thousands OF
workmen are not only without employ
ment. but without shelter
So sudden was the onrush of the
waters that hundreds barely escaped
with their lives. In many of the offices
and shops the occupants were Up to
their shoulders in water before they
knew what had happened.
1t is reported that a family Of SIX
persisted, but thus far only two tndies
have been found.
Many stories are told of heroic res
cues. Along the whole valley the
crops are completely destroy I'd and
the farms are all more or less damaged.
AS the waters slowly subsi lie they
leave behind great stretches of mud, in
which the soldiers, aided by the IN
habitants, are working ceaseisssly at
cutting channels to allow the water
gathered in the hollows to return TO
the river.
The municipal authorities have de-
cided to blow up the dam at Castellon
to facilitate the escape of the water,
which is still three feet deep in many
houses, especially at Moirans, where
buildings are constantly collapsing.
