DISASTROUS FIRE.
Nearly 100000 Worth Of Prop
erty Burned.

WEST POINT (Miss), March O.
Nearly 500, $50 worth of property was
destroyed by fire here to-day The Mary
Holmes College, an industrial school
for colored girls, burned this morning
and this afternoon the cotton press.
sheds, etc, together with a large
amount of cotton, were destroyed.
The Mary Holmes Seminary being
situated far outside the fire limits OF
the city, the response of the depart
ment was useless as. far as extinguish-
ing the flames was concerned. All OF
the inmates escaped uninjured, but a
large portion of their personal effects
was lost. The building and equipment
cost $50, 0OG; insurance, $4,000.
This afternoon a spark from Mobile
and Ohio engine started a blaze among
the cotton bales in the compress yards,
and as perfect gale was blowing the
fire spread as if in powder magazine,
and in an instant the entire yards and
warehouses We're in a blaze, and the
fire spread SO rapidly that nothing
could be done5but watch $500 600 worth
of property gfgo up in smoke. Five
thousand bales of cotton were in the
yards, and were consumed, as were a
few cars that stood on a siding near
by. The total loss of the press, to-
gether with the warehouse and cotton.
the managers say, will reach fully
100000
P. c. Daniel, for many years identi-
fed with the cotton interests of this
section, in attempting to obtain some
papers from his office, was caught in
the blaze and burned to death. The
press and cotton were insured to the
usual extent of such properties.

JACKSONVILLE TORNADO.
The Destruction Even Greater Than
at First Reported.

KNOXVILLE (Tenn), March 6.-The
Madisonville storm horror is even
greater than was at first reported. The
section devastated by the terrible hur-
ricane of Saturday night has been Wis
tied by thousands to-day. 1t is the
universal verdict that never in the his
tory of East Tennessee has such an
event been known
The tornado extended twenty miles,
commencing near Jellico Junction and
continuing to a point twelve miles
north of Madisonville. 1t so happened.
however, that no residences We're in its
course, save those RACED at Madison
vile, and four small houses in the town
of Ninaburg. Many barns We're de-
stroyed, and at least fifty horses, mules
and cal tile were killed.
In addition to the list of injured fur
nished last night, there is Dillon Rodg-
ers, a prominent jeweler of Madison
vile, struck on the head by a brick.
Miss Willie Erwin, who was the most
seriously injured, cannot recover. Her
condition to- night is NEST critical.
Mrs. Horton, wife of the man who
was killed, is in a serious condition.

mer before Manila it would undenaaply
have been productive of good results
all around. Our Government, unfor-
tunately. was advised too late of a
number of occurrences before Manila,
none of which were really important,
but they showed grave want OF tact
upon Admiral Won Diedrichs' part. The
main trouble was that Admiral Won
Diedrichs was uniformed regarding
naval usages in such a delicate situa-
ton. Consequently continued naval
movements, drill and searchlight prac-
tice, as if elsewhere than in a blockaded
port, thus arousing distrust upon the
part of the Americans"
The above is important as being the
first German official admission that
there had been trouble between the
Germans and Americans in Manila. The
first regularly appointed German naval
attache at Washington, Won Rebeur
Peschewitz, starts for New York TO-
morrow on board the North German

Swollen Streams in Kentucky Great
ing Much Damage.
Bottom Lands Already Inundated, and
Rivers Still Rising.
Several People Reported to Have
Lost Their Lives-Many People
Driven From Their Homes in
Ohio-The River Reaching the
Flood Point at Cincinnati.

LOUISVILLE Ky.), March 6.-The
swollen streams in Kentucky are caus-
ing great damage, especially to farm
ers, and it is feared the worst is yet
to come, as the streams are still ris-
ing. The Kentucky River is rising
rapidly, and much of the bottom lands
are already inundated. All the trib-
utary streams are badly swollen and a
record breaker is feared.
Besides the damage to property sew
eal casualties have resulted already.
]. w. Gordon was drowned near Frank
fort while trying to ford Stoney Creek.
William Abshire, near Richmond; ia
cob Ewing at Ewing Station, and Neal
Carter, near Mount Sterling, lost their
lives.
At Catlettsburg the Government
gauge is 541a feet, and the river rising
slowly. Merchants and residents on
Front and Center streets near Catletts
Creek are moving to higher ground.
The water is now eighteen inches above
the danger line. Much damage is re
ported up the Big Sandy River.
At Louisville the river is "a feet and
still rising. 1t is the highest water
since 1862.
CINCINNATI, March 6-The Ohio
River at this point has reached a stage
of 30 feet 8 inches at 10 o'clock to-
night, and was rising at the rate of
three inches an hour. But little dam
age has been done here, though many
business men in the low lands are re-
moving their goods from cellars. A
sixty-foot stage of water would drive
some business firms located near the
river, into their second stories, but
railroad trains would not be prevented
from running regularly.
Up the river at Portsmouth many
families have been driven from their
homes and several factories have been
flooded, causing suspension Of opera
tons.
PORTSMOUTH (O), March 6.-The
river has swept over the lower part of
the CITY, and residents have fled to
higher ground The rise last night was
rapid, and business men on Front street
are alarmed at the prospects of the in
vasion of the cellars. Heavy rains
above are sending down an unusual
food.
PITTSBURG, March 6.-The Monon-
gahela and Allegheny Rivers were still
rising this morning. The marks showed
49, feet of water and the lowlands
were submerged. No serious damage
has resulted or is expected, as the cold
wave will check the flow.
CHARLESTON CIV. Va.), March g.
Today the high water receded, but slow
ly, and the larger portion of the city is
still under water Heavy snow fell
this afternoon and tonight, and with
it came a freezing temperature. The
Mayor and the relief committee are
looking after the flood sufferers but
there will be much suffering on ac-
count of the cold weather. The Mayor
has ordered all saloons closed, but the
city is in total darkness. and is prac-
tically at the mercy of the criminal
classes of whites and negroes.
